Oh I agree, the feeling of helplessness in a dystopia is portrayed so much better when the character isn't saved by plot-armor and somehow starts a revolution with no former experience besides hating the government.

It has been years since I read the Hunger Games series, but I will say I did enjoy them when I read them. I liked the first book miles more than the other two, but they all came off as having a genuine message the author cared about. The other ones, as Rateria mentioned, Divergent etc are god awful. I read the entire Divergent series and hated it. I don't know why I did it, but I was bored out of my mind.

As I mentioned before, I never read that series. I didn’t know that the revolutionaries were portrayed as evil. Then again, I don’t think the films went at it from that angle. That’s just how film adaptations work, I guess. Important details tend to be omitted and other key things changed.

I see why both of you say that. A supposedly all-powerful government is much less threatening when a ragtag group of youths manages to destroy it, especially when they have plot armor.

The dystopian novel craze of the early/mid 2010s were horrible. They’re all the most surface level of critiques of authoritarianism with a story about a teen who somehow manages to destroy the entire system.

Really though. Every new book somehow seems to be less original than the previous. And I say this as someone who wrote short stories prolifically as a teenager, including many of that genre. I think this current era is giving potential authors some good material to work with, but it is an almost impossible task to try and equal the heights reached by 1984, Brave New World, Farenheit 451 and others of that era.

I do not believe that I give too much worship to Freemasonry, though maybe I am wrong in this assessment of myself. I recognize that there are a number of initiates who have failed to live up to standard that they set for themselves in front of God and the brethren, that lodges and entire orders had failed to uphold the tenets of the fraternity. Indeed, I have been (I hope) a consistent opponent to masonic myths, even when the truth can be painful. An example would be German Freemasonry during the the early 20th Century.

(There's no problem Mr. Bide—Narland.)

I admire your dedication to truth, and respect your commitment to live a principled well examined life. :) I hope that comes through in my posts, because I really like discussing some of the thornier issues about human nature and our perceptions against objective reality for (and in) time and eternity.

When I type I hope it comes across as a friend, and not a mocker/scoffer. Thank you for your understanding of the same with myself and the American Non-Denominational Evangelical Christianity (and its Puritan/Pilgrim heritage out of the Scottish Enlightenment) of which I am a part -- and the humanism (little h) we share in common.

I ran a long-running Fringeworthy tm Campaign with the obligatory dystopia of the month. I would peruse the YA section of the library for that stuff. The gaming group couldn't get enough of it -- the cheesier the better.

Just toss in some trope obligatory "little girl lost" thematics; add some trope obligatory "evil twins from the more aware mirrorverse;" shake and stir with the trope obligatory "shape-shifting interdimensional alien ninja space nazis-tm;" and let the "Teenage Angst-tm" begin. Hours of fun for the price of a bag of Toridos, and a bottle of Fargo.

I feel that way about going from Cicero, Augustine, Aquinas, Puffendorf, Sidney, Grotius, Calvin, Knox, Edwards and then down to Voltaire, Hegel, and Hobbes, and then further down to Marx, He who shall not be named Mein Kampfery, Mussolini, Russel, Shaw, Dewey, and the laughingly ubsurd Mao on an historic descent to puerile madness. I cannot bare to even read American Post-Cultural Revolution PC stuff without a pit in my stomach and wonder how they ever managed to adulthood still thinking that kindergarten was a good idea, and even worse that it should be applied to everybody.

That is the dystopian scenario that scared me the most. Narland does not want to colour within the lines (sometimes the picture is looks better when everything outside the lines are coloued). He does not want to be forced into num-nums and a nap, and he certainly does not want to be oppressed by the least common denominator of immaturity expressed in the classroom. What Narland learned was that children are childish and need to grow-up. Not turn the world into a State run kindergarten so people do not have to grow-up, i.e. cannot grow-up -- punished for asserting their rights, duties, and obligations as a mature and productive individual.

On the topic of WA endorsements,

Seeing as regional politics is at a standstill due to the inefficient system of the Consulate, I am currently interested in being more active in the game mechanics and am seeking to write repeals of virtually any WA resolution I can. I have already submitted a resolution and have been undertaking efforts to take the position of delegate seriously, and hopefully be able to make the WA something that all nations can find a voice in, rather than just statists who communize and strategize against us.

That being said, I ask all of you for your WA endorsement so that I have the authority to approve resolutions to be voted on by the entirety of Nationstates. With this power, I will be able to approve my own drafts of resolutions and have a more direct influence within the assembly itself.

If anybody has any interest, ideas or anything at all relevant to this or for the WA, I ask that you please telegram me or DM me on discord, so that the WA can no longer be a massive bureaucracy for those who wish to regulate that which they see fit- but what it’s supposed to be. A World Assembly of Nations. I look forward to representing Libertatem in the WA; and I can only do so with your support and recommendations as ‘Tatemites.

My first proposal was rejected for it being ‘illegal’; even when it was nothing of the sort.

Rest assured, we mustn’t be dismayed and should be longing and attempting to do the right thing. However, it’s a fact that when it comes to the WA- it’s numbers that matter. That’s why we need all the support we can get for common sense repeals to scale back the bureaucracy that is the WA.

I hope he presses the issue to get answers. I think Covid-19 was already brought in by infected Chinese to Idaho in January. We have a 30,000 acre "fertilizer factory" allodially owned here in Idaho by the PRC with CCP coming and going routinely. Yep.

A self-governing people unhindered by the inefficiencies and ineptitude of petty despotism. They would coordinate with themselves on some basic protocol and etiquette, like we did in the past before Health was co-opted by the Federal Gov power grab.

1. Use a color-coded or other easily recognizable system to determine quarantine areas. Like what we used to do with yellow armbands and yellow wreaths for self-quarantine, and red if one was or a member on the premises and property were infected.

2. Where masks, kee[ your distance, use gloves when handling/exchanging currency, or other items.

3. If you must go out in public and you are sick, coordinate with others in the community to specific quarantine zones that could be easily decontaminated to reduce the risk of infecting others. Go only directly from one Q zone to another Q zone. Let those who are well work. Let those who are ill recover.

4. Follow the advice of your family physician and coordinate him and civic crisis volunteers with the hospitals, and charities to provide the best means for delivering food, medicine, rent/foreclosure abatement, and funeral services to those stricken.

Reserve Districts they are under, not the mortgage holder.

***Note*** The best examples are how the San Fran earthquake was handled (where the State and Federal government mostly stayed out of the way). And how they contained the rats that were carrying the Bubonic Plague and scientifically ascertained that it was the fleas transmitting the plague.

When the government get out of the way the people rise to the occasion when given the opportunity go be self-governing, and free to engage in the open marketplace of ideas, products, and service. I wish Trump understood the shackles he has put us under with that "stimulus" bill. It is much more devastating to the economy that any Killer Flu will ever be.

Thanks to everyone in Libertatem who supported me in the 1st round - I really appreciate it! As a result, I was able to place 12th and forge a viable candidacy!

Round 2 is open so I'd appreciate your vote! https://www.nationstates.net/page=election

***Note*** The best examples are how the San Fran earthquake was handled (where the State and Federal government mostly stayed out of the way). And how they contained the rats that were carrying the Bubonic Plague and scientifically ascertained that it was the fleas transmitting the plague.

When the government get out of the way the people rise to the occasion when given the opportunity go be self-governing, and free to engage in the open marketplace of ideas, products, and service. I wish Trump understood the shackles he has put us under with that "stimulus" bill. It is much more devastating to the economy that any Killer Flu will ever be.

Coronavirus has certainly changed things. Narland didn't prank anybody for Old New Year's Day, and neither did anybody him. If my great-grandparents were alive he would have asked them about April Fools Day during the Spanish Flu.

After binge watching many Candace Owens videos, ad targeting seems to think I am into urban hip-hop, jewelry, pregnancy tests, and Leftist (!?) causes... =) The adverts are an "interesting" change of pace from the steel storage shed, Bag Balm, Marmite, and "Stand with Trump" ones. Kind of like the first day of mosquitoes in the year are interesting, and then one quickly gets over it.

***Narland cannot wait to clear the cache and start binge watching Ben Shapiro to see what stereotyped and leftist cause averts he gets.***

After thinking about it, perhaps, all the Leftist adverts with Candace Owens are because a group with deep pockets wants Leftists and Liberals watching Candace Owens to remain left.

Candace and Charlie are detrements to the cause. While I agree with both of them to an extent, Charlie insists ob debating people despite being the worst conservative debater I've ever seen, Candace is so defensive and damaged after years of being called a coon, uncle tom, ect, all while being very politically active, that she comes across as mean, condescending, and arrogant.

Narland

I agree with those assessments. Charlie does need to let someone else debate. Or perhaps he could hire debate coaches, like Ben Shapiro, Jordan B Peterson and Stephan Molyneux to tag team against him until he is better.

Even though Candace is defensive, I can understand why. All that vitriol, malice, and hatred from the Leftists would destroy a lesser woman. Generally, I found her topical speeches very good.

Hopefully, she can eventually turn off or tone down the wounded tiger triggers. When one is abused by the insanity of Leftists, sometimes it is hard not to come across as half-crazed oneself. It takes a while to slip into sane responsiveness.

He's like the evil kid who joined the Boy Scouts to have another "plausible deniability" card, just in case.

I have no respect for Sen Lindsey Graham. He sat by and did nothing while the Bush political machine stopped the Reagan Revolution dead in its tracks before the end of Reagan's second term. He then led the co-opting of it (Reagan Revolution) from returning to a free country for the Contract On America that insured the continuation of the Congressional/Federal Bureaucracy interference attained in previously established Article X power grabs. He is a Neocon butler for the Swamp while pretending to be a Paleocon in his spare time.

He had the nerve to go on Fox, and on Twitter saying the China needs to close down its informal meat markets. China is Communist with some "conditional enterprise zones." Anything the government controls it must ration. The food is rationed in the Chinese stores going first to Party Members and their Cronies, and lastly to the Prole serfs. Those that shop in the conditional enterprise zones have permission to be there, and have a chance to buy food at outrageous prices. Those that don't get what little meat is left if any. What prey tell are they going to eat other than what they catch themselves? <<pun intended>>

What a doofus. Don't shut down the Markets. Stop the Communist party that is hindering the distribution of goods and services (such as food to the proles). Once open markets form, people will be less likely to buy from wet markets, and more likely to buy from butchers that have affordable healthy meats consistently on in the display like any non-authoritarian nation typically enjoys.
