Region: Libertatem
Oh, my puppet is 2nd-most pro-market. This is good.
Funny, considering the economy is barely in the 80's.
Hey guys.
Hey.
Hi.
Any other Bolshevik regions avaliable for capture?
Should be plenty of parasite regions out there. I've been kind of taking it easy with raids, but will jump back in soon.
"To restrict political freedoms in the interest of law and order." I did not even have to read the whole thing to decide how I was voting.
You shouldn't have had to read any of it. Never vote for on a WA proposal that demands more legislation.
So NST are there any you are looking into right now?
Remember, don't discuss invasion plans on the RMB (everyone can see it).
CHECK THE REGIONAL HAPPENINGS. REPUBLIC OF ACTIM??? NO! THIS IS WRONG. I DEMAND THEIR NAME BE CHANGED.
Lol
I thank you all, who have endorsed me, for placing your trust in me.

Just saw the movie 42. Awesome...
Not really a big fan of baseball movies, but I did hear it was a box office success.
I wonder how the liberal media and U.S. Government will spin this newest bombing to take more liberties away from law abiding citizens? Or will it be more hushed justification for DHS to beef up it's domestic armed forces?
Or maybe nothing will happen... that one I doubt.
I'm actually starting to think that the government plays some role in public disasters, but I doubt it's the lead.
I don't know about the government actually playing a part in disasters such as this, but they most certainly love to exploit them for their own uses.
Agreed.
I'm not a conspiracy theorist, but I'll give them the benefit that Sandy Hook happened almost literally right after Comrade Obama told us "Guns are evil". This next bombing will probably have Comrade Biden telling us that "all bomb-making agents must be banned". Good luck banning table salt, gasoline and my own piss.
As I said, exploitation... With Sandy Hook it was "ban guns for the kids," and now they'll come up with some other ridiculous reason to ban SOMETHING, whether that be bomb making agents, or another item entirely. It's a never ending process.
Ban all bombs ever because N Korea is going to listen to that.
Just, you know, looking a bit farther ahead to how they're gonna do this.
Well, we'd actually have to ban everything. Anything can kill anyone. In all irony, a hardback copy of Dreams From My Father is can be a weapon used in the act of "assault".
Maybe we should ban roughhousing too. If you playfully tap someone on the chest at just the right time, it can and probably will stop their heart.
BREAKING NEWS: Your body is constantly bombarded by multiple forms of cosmic radiation. This tragedy has been happening for billions of years. Yesterday, a libtard suspected that neutrinos were passing through his body at the speed of light and reported that he felt odd. Shortly afterward, another libtard on the opposite side of the country reported the same thing. Scientist have confirmed that indeed, nothing can stop the neutrino, a form of cosmic radiation. Additionally, it has been reported that there is consensus among scientist that if a "blast of gamma radiation" were to ever come from the sun, it would kill all life on earth.
EVEN MORE BREAKING HOLY SH*T HANG ON TO YOUR PANTS!!!
The government has detected nuclear blast coming from the Sun. It can only be speculated what the Sun's intentions are at this point, but one thing is clear: the Sun is nuclear capable. Threat scenarios are being assessed, the Department of Homeland Security has advised that people stock up on non perishable food, water, and plenty of sunblock.
The government has deemed the sun a threat to national security and is said to be considering steps to disarm it of it's nuclear potential.
Lol
While we are talking about death and all that happy stuff.... BOSTON HAS BEEN MOTHERFUC*ING BOMBED BY THE MUSLIMS!!!!
Let's not jump to that conclusion just yet. In any case, my heart goes out to the victims of this tragedy. To replace my heart, I demand a sacrifice from whomever is responsible.
I agree, but then let's remember the "political correctness" of our own government. Whoever is responsible, they'll be more worried about offending than apprehending.
*The government, that is
Their defense of criminals over people indicates that it is high time we erect a new government. A minarchy, if you will - a government that will either defend the people or fail to defend itself from the people.
*facepalm*
Muslim Radicals are not the excuse for everything. It's the way we get oil without drilling Alaska.
Why aren't we drilling Alaska? Gas prices these days are ridiculous.
Gas prices ridiculous? Gas prices are twice what they are in the US because the government has 100% tax on gas. No joke.
I agree
That would make them ludicrous in your case - a 100% step above ridiculous.
We should have drilled Alaska when we didn't have the leefy-green problem: Comrade Obama and environmentalism.
They really need to start weeding the White House.
I live in Alaska. Everything they say on TV is bullsh*t. Drill Alaska now. Drill the hell out of it. You have no idea just how much of Alaska (harboring petroleum) is a vast expanse of arctic wasteland.
Frack the hell out of this everything. And Alaska. Especially Alaska.
It doesn't matter what Alaska really is, environmental wackos will always have some excuse. Drilling in an arctic wasteland? According to them, you'd be upsetting the natural habitat of snow.
Hey, Scandova! I'm intervening against communism in your war.
Anyway, yes. We have a snow problem. Maybe global warming is from all the hot air democraps put out?
Ok... maybe not Muslim. But I think it is either
1. A Muslim based Middle East Terrorist Organization/ "Government"
2. Deranged group of Internal U.S. Citizens
3. A crazy pyro that makes things go boom
(Just trying to get what little humor we can out of this tragic event)
The new title for Obama is Comrade Barack "Insane" Hussein Obama
I still prefer "Traitor" for Barre.
I've just substituted "Yes We Can" with "Yes We Can... be used as slaves"
So you are, New Sea! Just saw that. By the way, I noticed that the Manager of Military Affairs position is not taken; could someone inform me about how I could possibly fill that spot in the future?
I'm relatively new to this region, so I'm not sure how regional positions work here.
I have continued to volunteer.
I actually tried to take that position, but It is an appointed position.
I do not want it just so everyone knows. I am not a leader in war I am a strategist and a foot-soldier.
For war (d).
Anyone else see the headline about Axelrod claiming that Obama thinks the bombing may have to do with Tax Day? Or Barney Frank's mischaracterization about how tax cuts would not have helped prevent or resolve the bombings? Amazing how quickly things get politicized, isn't it?
By the way, why is it that people think Axelrod is so smart?
"Anyone else see the headline about Axelrod claiming that Obama thinks the bombing may have to do with Tax Day? "
It has a good point but i seriously doubt it.
Most people who I know who are in favor of low taxes do not commit acts of terror. Those types of acts are for people like Bill Ayers and the weathermen or islamofascists. Axelrod is clearly trying to place the possibility that his political adversaries may be responsible for the act into people's minds, and I'd love to remind mr. Axelrod that this is not a time to play politics.
I'm ranked in the top 1% of the world for lowest overall tax burdens, but somehow three other nations beat me out here.
That moment when 0% taxes is the entire front page.
I am so proud of being the nation here with the lowest tax burden overall!
Taxation is theft. It is used to fund a culture of death and violence. Taxes are stolen from my labors to fund people who don't labor themselves. Taxes fund constant foreign wars that aren't our concern. Taxes fund OsamaCare, abortions and welfare (parasitism) that I disagree with. I never agreed to be taxed; I was born a citizen. I thought leftists were against inheriting stuff?
I never agreed and I don't agree. If taxes are required from me in exchange for the government's protection, I humbly ask them to stop protecting me - God's already got that covered.
Exactly. The typical "you pay for goods and services" argument doesn't work. I DO NOT want their goods and services. I'd rather die poor and oppressed by foreign powers than live in a welfare state.
I'd take a third option and form a militia of citizens united in keeping foreign powers at bay. It would essentially be a militant minarchy, considering the concept of government is in there somewhere.
Read my factbook. The idea perfected: private militias for the civilians. Simply no need for big government, and in some cases any government. Let Freedom Ring.
Hey:
Since I'm VP, I will need some endorsements. Maybe one or two more if anyone can.
The idea needs some glossing over, considering there is a law on abortion (you know, instead of making a law about it, private hospitals could decide whether to provide such services and on what terms) and not one on murder. >_>
Also, the idea of democracy is too Greek. Literally. It's a philosophy that has long been proven to cater to the mob and not to the individual - there are alternative means of determining who should be a representative...take the NationStates endorsement system, for example - while not democracy, it is similar.
...I'm not seeing how abortion could not be murder. Prevention of pregnancy is one thing, after the fact ending of life is another.
Yeah. It's tough. People say "it's not living". This is probably the only thing I have never agreed with fellow anarchists on.
How can someone have the right to life he/she is killed before being born?
So why not just have a law against murder too?
Greek Democracy is the idea of this:
"Give me your tired, your lazy, your socialist masses yearning to be shackled by parasites, corrupted by opportunists and manipulated by the power-hungry"
My nation finally has a new flag. I'll try to write a factbook explaining how it came about.
I'll also try to design flags for each of my puppets...
Well, it only took me about an hour.
Post self-deleted by The New Sea Territory.
You said that 88 minutes beforehand.
What? Oh. Must have been a bug. NS is a big, dark, scary place...
I like your new flag, CI. The star is a nice touch, although I chose to have mine white due to the historical use of yellow stars...
True, but if I really wanted to consider the historical uses of every flag and symbol before making mine, there would be no red.
Hah! Yes, indeed.
Citizens of Libertatem, would any of you like to move or create a puppet to send to International Republican Union? I'm trying to restart it.
NO IRU is a failed region and I would highly advise we keep cordial relations but no political help within the region itself.
It's ours now.
And rightfully so. That excuse of a liberty-loving region was just as democratic as the CCCP.
Oh... I did not know we had the region. Well then I may have to look into that.
Their senate corrupted them. NST has actually seen their senate recently - they refer to themselves as the FFS now.
This current WA vote is making me sick vote against please who really needs welfare but bums and retards?
Ugh. Welfare. Basically, Robin Hood manifested into democracy. The Original Comrade. It's terrible: We hand in our liberty for others' security, which they couldn't get themselves!
@CIdealism:
I didn't think it was that. Their founder refused to let me run for office or create a political party. That is not democracy. That's not freedom. No Liberty, you can wait your turn, he said. There were no rights in that excuse of a region. Even the newer form has some of the same problems...uhcoughcough idiot leaderscough. They basically left to elect the same problems. Balkans is ok, and GOR is negotiable, but their bulk is still those hardliner, anti-liberty, authoritarian "in the name of national security" and "balanced democracy is a basic party system"types. If I can't create the "Libertarian Party of the IRU", I see NO liberty. Hell, I got warned for talking bad about the founder on the RMB! No Freedom of speech? When did the rightists become friends of Larry the Leftist and our Comrade Obama?
New topic. How many (loosely or strictly) fascist countries can you name? How do you view fascism and corporatism?
China comes to mind.
United States of America. Corporatist out the a--. We basically ally with corporations to protect us from the reality that we owe too much cash.
In a real sense:
Fascism is neither far-right or far-left. It is simply authoritarian. To be more specific: totalitarian. "All in the state" is literal. So, it follows socialist economics and conservative social order, usually cupled with racial undertones and lots of marching soldiers. In my opinion, only stalinism is a worse government form.
Modern fascism is really limited. No one openly admits to fascism, though North Korea is basically fascist. China isn't really, since it doesn't have the serious social conservatism, but it definitely is corporatist. China is utilizing state-controlled capitalism, a mix of socialism and capitalism, to manipulate the world market into submission.
Fascism sucks. The end. We fought a world war over this.
Reagan spoke out against fascism first. He only stuck with speaking out against communism because that threat was more real.
Again, that's not "real" communism. The thing is that leftism is SO diversified it's almost like all the minorities they protect all the time with affirmative action....
I mean, seriously! First Communism, then Leninism, Marxism, Stalinism, Trotskyism, Socialism, "democratic" socialism, National Socialism, Bolshevism, National Bolshevism, Marxism-Leninism, Anarcho-communism, syndicalism, Maoism, Cambodian Communism and everything else. Reagan's main target was Russian Communism, which never truly "de-stalinized". It remained the police state that it sought to destroy. It had good intentions, and good ideas, but it doesn't work due to simple human behaviors, which Marx failed to see.
Needless to say, communism is bad. Western countries don't understand that because we've never experienced it firsthand, but plenty of people understand that communism is horrible. Both are about the same, in the end. It results in a Party. All Communism is a party, like a high school reunion. Only, the party frisks anyone it sees and has plenty of gulags to send you for the "afterparty".
I will not comment on this issue.
Also (professionally) I would like to tell you all....... I TOLD YOU SO!!!!! IT WAS MUSLIMS!!!
What?
Oh. Hehe. We proved some adversaries that the Chechens in the Boston Bombing were indeed Muslim.
"Needless to say, communism is bad."
Simple, to the point, and correct.
BTW, really sick of hearing about Boston. Being born and raise in New England and frequenting Boston many a time, I have no love for the city itself. Cocky, disgusting, and above all existing in the "commonwealth" of Massachusetts. Otherwise... since when is it a national tragedy that two people are killed in a bombing? If I am not mistaken, that very same day more than two dozen were killed in bombings in the middle east, and thousands died globally that day attempting to drink WATER.
I believe in American execptionalism, but this is just stupid.
I apologize for my insensitivity, I am just sick of the liberal media's pre-meditated stance on this subject, and overzealous patriotism.
Death is hardly ever a good thing, no matter the nationality. I agree with you that I don't always find it right how a small murdering can make such big news, whereas there's 100k+ abortions (imo, murders) per day. And you pretty much never hear about that.
Exactly.
