Why were the Rakatans such mouth breathing retards?
>hurr fuck the Kwa even though they were the ones who elevated us

>their entire infrastructure collapses over night
>hurr slavery good

>hurr only the dark side matters

Reminder that to be moral is to be practical and to be practical is to be moral, and that the Rakatans are a great indication of the essential stupidity one finds at the heart of all immorality..
Bravo, ""infinite"" Empire. Bravo.

The Rakata were a violent race of slaving genocidal cannibals even before being uplifted. The Kwa were unaware of this because the Rakata put up a front of benevolence, it was a fuck up of epic proportions on the part of the Kwa who only noticed it when it was too late.
Interestingly though, the Infinite Empire wasn't even infinite. It was only 500 planets.

You're just complaining because someone with a Rakatan flag told everyone he didn't like us.
Also I genuinely wish I had a white slave.

Well, considering their actual Empire was spread thin and relatively shortlived, and impressive designs were built on the backs of those they conquered… how about space Timurids?

Using the suffering and anguish of slaves as batteries is a recipe for disaster. It leaves you with a brittle sort of control that will snap the moment you display weakness. There is no room for error in a system like that because the resentment of the enslaved will be so strong that your own destruction is guaranteed, particularly as you're relying on a singular energy source that was generated by the slaves themselves.

I always took it that the Rakata were based off ancient Egyptians. What with having a strict caste system, including a warrior and priest class, an obsession with pyramid like structures and building an entire directly off the backs of slaves.

Yes, and? You know Sparta practically became the ancients' equivalent of an amusement park after Rome conquered Greece, right? Roman senators would pay to wrestle with Spartan youths whilst they undertook their studies in gymnastics. Their whole way of life was turned into a sort of safari for rich philhellenes .
If anything, Sparta simply proves my point further.

Well, it doesn't necessitate that either Spartans or especially Rakatans were mouth breathing retards, they simply didn't know how things work. They became the example of how not to run a society.

Spartan society succeeded for centuries, though. the fact that they degenerated and eventually became a dead meme doesn't negate their accomplishments. the same is true of other societies.
