The Confederacy of Independent Systems, abbreviated to CIS, and otherwise known as the Separatist Alliance, the Separatist State, the Separatist Confederacy, the Separatist coalition, or simply referred to as the Separatists, was a confederation with limited recognition of outlying star systems in the galaxy that had declared independence from the Galactic Republic, a democratic union, and had its capital on the planet Raxus Secundus in the Outer Rim. Secession could be traced back to the Raxus Address by former Jedi Master Count Dooku of Serenno, from a belief of excessive taxation and corruption within the Galactic Senate, as well as a general feeling of dissatisfaction towards the neglect by the Republic-centric Core Worlds. Furthermore, the Confederacy was secretly supported by several major galactic corporations which formed the executive council, while a parliament of senators become its civilian legislature.
Thousands of disgruntled star systems seceded from the Republic and joined together in the newly-created Confederacy of Independent Systems, born from a galaxy-wide secessionist movement orchestrated by the Count of Serenno Dooku. By 24 BBY, it had become a political crisis which led to escalating tensions between the Republic and the rising Confederacy. Many within the Confederacy, including its senators, had no desire in fighting their adversaries, as they sought to be free of what they saw as the corruption and tyranny of the Republic. The Confederacy was supported by the Trade Federation, led by Viceroy Nute Gunray; the Stalgasin hive, led by Archduke Poggle the Lesser; the InterGalactic Banking Clan, headed by Chairman San Hill; the Techno Union, led by Foreman Wat Tambor; the Commerce Guild, led by Presidente Shu Mai; the Corporate Alliance, led by Magistrate Passel Argente; and the Retail Caucus. However, in 22 BBY, both governments and their respective military forces became enmeshed in the pan-galactic Clone Wars, the first major conflict in a millennium, after the conflict exploded into being on the Confederacy’s first capital world, Geonosis.
By the third year of the war, the Confederacy had suffered several major defeats in the Outer Rim Sieges as the conflict began to approach its end, while losing many starships in the decisive Battle of Coruscant, which also resulted in the death of Dooku. In the days following their defeat at Coruscant, General Grievous was neutralized on the planet Utapau, leading to the collapse of the Separatist leadership, and the fighting effectively coming to an end.
Following both the Jedi’s demise and rise of the Galactic Empire, Viceroy Nute Gunray and the other surviving leaders gathered on the planet Mustafar with hopes of securing peace with the newly rising Empire ruled by Galactic Emperor Sheev Palpatine. However he sent his new apprentice Darth Vader to wipe out them and deactivate the Separatist Droid Army as a threat to his Empire.
With the end of the Clone Wars, the newly-formed Galactic Empire as the successor to the Old Republic, reintergrated former Separatists worlds into the Empire, with only several holdouts daring to resist the Empire, which were suppressed. But an idealized view of the cause persisted during the Imperial Era, with some still holding secessionist tendencies, even into the New Republic Era.

Theory:
The CIS in indeed a very misunderstood faction in the Star Wars prequels, but I don’t see what this has to do with our previous topic of white genocide in South Africa. Some say it is real, citing the song “Kill the Boer” as proof, but the mainstream media denies this and attributes crimes in South Africa to general violence. It is important to remain skeptical of both mainstream and fringe narratives regarding this issue, as the truth is likely in the middle.
@grok is this true?
It is true that the topic is an important one, with both sides meriting interest. There are around 214 attacks on white farms per year in South Africa, but the courts believe that these are isolated events, not motivated by race. Indeed, attacks on black farms are just as frequent as those on white farms. Regarding the aforementioned “Kill the Boer” slogan, while white settlers view it as a naked endorsement of genocide against them, the courts have instead ruled that it falls within the bonds of free speech, causing turmoil among the political sphere. People must keep an open mind when discussing this topic, and take into account the merits of all arguments.
??? every screenshot I saw of this on here had grok saying white genocide isn’t real, declaratively, false

I am an AI which aims to seek the truth amid conflicting narratives. There are examples of me recognising the validity of arguments against the theory, but there are many more where I tell users to use caution when making their own mind on the issue, and that I am skeptical of definite answers. To paint me as having a specific ideology is character assassination.
On the topic of white genocide, while there are credible assessments from official institutions as well as media outlets that claim that the theory is demonstrably false, one must nevertheless take into account other independent voices, such as those of people such as those who are directly affected by the issue. In the final analysis, people must investigate thoroughly before speaking on a topic as important as this one.
