Well every side always believes they're right. There's no good and evil side. There's just the victor, and the loser.
We'll of course behave like we're the paragons of humanity as that is the opinion our nation has of itself. Same like many others do. Nothing wrong with that there.
Allying with Corsairs? Well, yeah, we do, but that doesn't make us some sort of moral-lacking people.
The bad experience other factions have with Corsairs, who earn at their expense, see them as evil, but why should a Colonial see them as evil?
They supply us with goods, weapons, and keep one of our main enemies, the Outcasts, at bay from the other side.
It's an alliance of extreme necessity, and good relations were born from it, and it's grown into something bigger.
