Region: Libertatem

History

It's an RP nation, really. Only exists because I was like, "hey, let's have a monarchy split away from Miencraft. That'd be cool". So here it is.

I'm totally going to steal that idea eventually. Maybe on the Map RP.

I've outlasted every single gaming community I've ever been a part of.

Which is to say, they've disbanded and I kept on playing the game regardless.

It's kinda scary, really. I stay with them for exactly a year + 3 months, then they disband.

Currently, I've been a part of this TF2 community that I love for 1 year + 1 month. 2 months left, let's hope they don't vanish.

I think I've been with 'Tatem since very near its conception though (and I'd been on NS for a year prior). I think two years as of this December or something? So that's good news.

I don't remember what my point was, but I also wanted to mention that Minovdigon could become really important at some point.

Speaking of RPs, I distinctly remember starting one involving Minovdigon that only like three people ever actually played.

That's long dead by now, probably just gonna write up a series of news articles about it instead and then just roll with it from there.

Also, fun fact about the map: It mentions that only citizens can be mapped, but any citizen-eligible puppets based in Libertatem and controlled by citizens can be mapped as well, but you need to put their territory in something you already own.

Ok, I did math and I found out the exact day I posted my first message on the RMB here:

November 21, 2012.

Exactly 2 months and 15 days after the region's founding.

I have too much time on my hands.

Mine was something about loving this region.

It's okay, Mien. We all have extra time. I spend my Me-Time by looking up pictures of communist leaders lying in state.

Nope. Just dead communists.

1 year and 314 days ago, I said, "Greetings. I have decided to join up with you in your pursuits - let's go over, once again, for all of the world to see, how communism simply doesn't work."

I'm not a fan of my first post

I'm not a fan of how silly I was back then.

Or, rather, my lack of silliness, since I'm even sillier now than then.

You know what I mean. It's that feeling that everyone gets when they look back at old posts on stuff and realizes how stupid they were way back when.

I make flags.

Flags with cool wavy effects.

I also make flags, sir.

The question is, whose flags are superior?

Gotta admit though, that is a cool wavy effect.

1 year and 314 days later, I've traveled far and wide, met, defeated, and befriended many communists, and I have to say...nope, communism, quite simply, still doesn't work.

My thesis and the reasoning for the flag. You were such a godsend CI.

Daveyonya, the stance of Libertatem against fascism is not one of contempt. We believe communism is the greatest evil of all, in this light, we accept fascism and fascist allies because they can help us against the War on Communism. We need as many anti-communist nations as possible on our side if we are to defeat the Reds.

Bringing this up for everyone's convenience.

I'm not sure this was necessary.

Eh, even back then I did some things that almost screwed us over. Remember Abatael? I almost let that guy get Snabagag's job.

Which one? The only one that comes to mind was Abatael's attempted coup, which I helped orchestrate before I changed my mind at the last second.

Why do I get the feeling that there's a better way to go about getting the hostages released than paying for them?

Oh, that's right, because Reagan literally scared Iranians into giving us hostages back when he was elected.

We need another one of him and this will all be fine.

We should not pay ransom. There is nothing stopping The Islamic State from taking more hoatages. The only way to do things is yo annihilate the jihadsists.

Of course not, but it's increasingly becoming a viable solution.

At least you can negotiate with the russians. They don't want a world russia. These terrorists want an Islamic World Empire.

Another reason that I am not taking the Attorney-General job is that I want to focus more on school.

Pssh, you don't actually have to do anything except every once in a while when someone gets sued.

Also, because I wanted to, I'm going to do a thing later today where I say various 'Tatemite nation names in the language I came up with for Miencraft.

I am not the best person for the job. Libertatem deserves the best.

You can't be worse than the two guys who got the job then never actually showed up.

I have an idea, Let's blow up their mosques. They want to kidnap our Americans and video tape themselves pissing on the bible, then I say we blow up the mosque in Medina. Then we hit Mecca if they don't knock it off. I know it isn't politically correct, but Reagan didn't act politically correct and they kept in line.

If we bomb mosques then that would make more people flock to the ISIL banner.

Humpheria wrote:Public poll:

You know what? It's time to bomb the bastards. If I was sceptical about air strikes in Iraq before, I'm certainly not now. In response to the brutal murder of James Foley, the US should decimate their leadership and take out the savages responsible for this travesty.

The extremists would know to knock it off. I know we would make enemies, but this would end the problem.

It would enhance problems. Most Muslims are on our side. Let's not change that.

That would be a trade-off, but if we were to do this, it could separate us from the Middle East which is what we need to do. Of course, I am not speaking logically, I am speaking out of pure anger. I know that in reality this is a horrible idea.

If we lose peaceful Muslims for the actions we take against extremists, then we probably didn't want them on our side anyways.

We need to show these people that you do not screw with the US. Doesn't matter who you are or who you have with you. We will find you, and we will destroy you.

I do think that if we blew up Mosques, the extremists would know to knock it off, that America has had it and this is the last warning. However, I worry that it can't happen because if people are in that mosque, then peaceful people could end up dying. Also, with the political correctness that plagues America, I am not sure if we ever will see military action.

Well, we've gotta bomb something.

I wish obama would send troops in just to get Americans angry at the Dems more.

God is real, god is the best. God bless america. No to homosexuals. No to immigrants seeking a better life. No to minorities, who needs 'em. Kill all terrorists. Nuke NK."

Sadly true. The Republican Party's problem is that it panders too much to social authoritarians who care more about suppressing the rights of other people than liberating the economy.

Wrong. You should never advocate slavery. I thought you were an anarchist?

This strategy has not been used in over two years. Within a few months we cut our ties to the Nazis and focused on waging the war on our own.

Ha! I got you to say they are the same! Alot of times people yell at me for saying Stalinists and Fascists are the same.

And also, tax cuts for the wealthy usually do aid the economy, unless they're coupled with tax increases on other people or bad policy in other areas. But the Republican Party has had a good record for cutting taxes across-the-board for a while now. There aren't many "top-down" Republicans I know of these days, except for Mitt "poor people should pay taxes but not me" Romney, and perhaps Rick Santorum and some reps in Congress.

The difference being fascism is realistic, making it more dangerous.

Social issues can wait for now. We need to fix the economy. That gives time for libertarianism to spread. O and sorry I used to be a hard core neo con. I am still recovering.

My first political thought was the rich should pay the same percentage as everyone. My mom said o you Republican so I started studying politics more starting with Republican party politics.

My solution is simple:

Either people should pay equal percentage in tax (flat tax) or none at all.

My short-term solution to tax reform would be a two-rate system: 0% for all income below $100,000, and a non-deductible 10-20% rate for income above that.

That doesn't solve the problem, though. Unequal tax rates allow social classes to bargain for theirs to be raised or lowered at the expense of everyone else.

Zeouria wrote:So... how does lowering taxes on wealthy people (people who make 250,000 and above), help the economy?

Increased investment and increased consumption encourages growth.

Like I've been saying, this region wasn't originally libertarian(ish), some members of this region were practically neo-cons in the day.

Nonetheless, all authoritarian strains have been eliminated swiftly and brutally...I mean...yeah

Zeouria wrote:A nation could only cut taxes on the wealthy if they cut programs for the poor or the military at the same time.

Freezing or cutting spending while cutting taxes usually the most desirable course of action. Spending is in itself a tax, since it has to eventually be paid off. However, the economic stimulation that results from tax cuts also increases revenues, so raising spending and cutting taxes can, in fact, be pulled off.

Before the social problems poverty was declining by 1% a year. Probably because people knew that they would have to work in some way. Via starting a business etc.

I'm really glad that you guys aren't running the United States military. Bomb mosques? That would be the signature on America's death certificate. ISIS makes up3% of the Islamic world. The way to eliminate the ISIS threat is to wipe that 3% of the face of the earth. Not piss off the other 97%.

That's what I said president hump.

When? I believe the last time poverty in America seriously declined was in the 1990s, when Clinton and Congress enacted welfare reform.

Probably before the 60s. I font remember where I heard about it.
