Region: Libertatem
Just in case people dont know, the poll to ratify our new constitution is underway. Many of us worked together to create it, and now it is up for a vote.
Auxorii, Jadentopian Order, Smolcasm
I don't do Discord, so I shall refrain from voting. The Constitution will have my support when it passes.

Been protesting in Richmond the past few days, met some very great people and learned a lot! Wonderful to see the statues on Monument Ave. coming down and seeing them occupied!

The rioters are pawns being used by the globalists for their anti-human agenda. They want to take down local authority and install global government controlled by AI.
Narland, The New Icelandic Commonwealth
Now that the new constitution is ratified, come help us pick a new flag in the discord.
And also run for office. We need people to run for office. Do it.
Rateria, Skaveria, The New Icelandic Commonwealth
I'm so happy that I found this region, you people, a few years ago, however long it's been. As much as I admire individualism, people need a sense of community, and I consider you folks, even those I disagree with regularly, to be one of those communities. As much as my local party members, my friends, my family. We are connected to each other, dispite not even living close to one another, dispite different walks of life, of age, philosophy, and I find you ALL to be truly beautiful. Go forth Libertatem, go forth!
Narland, Auxorii, Rateria, Jadentopian Order, The New Icelandic Commonwealth
Speaking of which, I would like to run for a seat in the new legislature once we get that whole process started. On a similar note, one of my first orders of business is to create a valid and just criminal code. I will need help with that.
My fellow Tatemites,
It is with high hopes and great pleasure that I announce my candidacy for the Presidency of the newly established Third Republic.
Everyone knows that my values are consistent, I have always done what I think is right, from whistleblowing in 2017 to being the main driver to establish a new government for our region.
For the first Presidency of this new Republic, we need someone who not only believes in this new government as a revolutionary positibe force, but someone who is active and knows about the structure of the new government. As Father of the Third Republic, I believe I will be able to satisfy those obligations.
As President and Commander-in-Chief, I will refrain from using the military completely. I believe that the war on communism and the dreams some have of resurrecting it are pointless and anti-libertarian. I will work with the Assembly whenever needed, especially to formalize a criminal code.
I am the libertarian candidate, and if elected, I will do everything to ensure your voice is heard. When I am President, all citizens will have a free voice in the exective branch.
I look forward to the elections and the future of this Republic; with your help.
Rateria
I would be interested in helping Rateria create a criminal code, whether that comes as a private citizen or as a legislator I don't know. I haven't decided whether I would like to run for anything. Congratulations everyone for the new constitution.
Auxorii, Rateria
congrats on the new constitution
Narland, Auxorii, Rateria
2020 should end the gun controllers arguments for a while
I will be running for Legislature!
Why should you vote for me?
1. Im a long-time members of the community, and I have a ton of experience writing and passing laws as well as serving in the executive and judicial branches.
2. I want to use the government for the People and foster activity. Its no secret that our activity can be heavily linked to our government, so why not promote a government for the People that promoted activity in the region. I plan on promoting democratic ideas that engage everyone and encourage participation. I already took this idea into practice by proposing referendums to be added to the constitution.
3. I will make Femboy Hooters real.
Thank you all, and I hope I can count on your votes!
Auxorii, Rateria, The New Icelandic Commonwealth
We still need at least one more person to run for legislature, plus someone to run for court secretary.
Hopefully more than that though.
Auxorii, Rateria
You 'Tatemites,
I do not reside in your region and have no right to declare my candidacy for President of the Third Republic, but I'm doing so anyway because I perceive that I have nothing to lose.
I encourage you not to vote for me; not only am I not a Libertatem resident, and not only do I consider myself too lazy and inactive to participate in your region's government, but my ideas are also terrible and largely incompatible with the ideological makeup of the region. I extend my dearest sympathies to anyone not already dissuaded from voting for me, as I fear that there is something terribly wrong with anyone of the sort, and will only accept their votes to raise awareness for those suffering from impaired judgment.
Should I, by some catastrophe, be elected President, I will make it a matter of policy to act in my own self-interest and ensure that my voice is always heard. I'm a firm believer in honesty, which is why I can honestly say that I can conceive of no circumstance in which electing me to such an esteemed position would benefit any of you in any way. Moreover, I have not read any of your region's laws and therefore cannot knowingly uphold them, which is why I remain uncertain that it is even legal for me to declare my candidacy for your Presidency. I will continue to remain blissfully ignorant of your legislation and traditions in the astronomically unlikely and unholy event I am elected.
Like the esteemed candidate Auxorii, I also agree that Auxorii is all of the stated things, except that I have not done any research whatsoever to confirm these claims and therefore take them at face value in an effort to be tactful and pretend that I have some awareness of what is going on in Libertatem. I will also refrain from using the military completely - not out of any lack of desire to, but because I don't actually know how to mobilize them or fight the war on whatever in any useful capacity. I will also work for the Assembly whenever it is convenient for me and allow citizens to complain about me or somesuch.
Remember, a vote for me is a questionable decision at best!
Auxorii, Rateria, Skaveria, Jadentopian Order, Nich-Land
I declare candidacy for the legislature!
My reasons for running are the same as last time. I don't consider that my inability to meet most of those pledges should be held against me since it can be boiled down to the public's refusal to respect my authority as First Consul and the absenteeism of the other two consuls, making it impossible for me to do anything anyway by the time I backed out. Furthermore, by making the consulate unworkable by throwing in the towel, we have the new constitution, so indirectly I'm sort of responsible for getting rid of that nasty old consulate system.
Miri was always here, they had nothing to do with you and TNUS gone.
Didn't you say you were about to get super busy again?
As there is a gap in the announced candidacies I would like to fill the gap and run for the Judicial Secretary. While I hope I will not have to help conduct a trial. I will ensure that each 'Tatemite will have access to a fair and just trial, in accordance with both the Constitution and our standards of justice. Thank you all for your consideration.

Since we've got at least one candidate for every office now, I'mma go ahead and say that if nobody else decides to contest before Saturday, we'll just roll with what we've got.
Auxorii, Rateria
The old government couldn't do anything without more or less total participation from all three consuls.
I will run for legislature. i want to see libertatem grow and expose more people to libertarian conservative ideals and have some good ideas on how to achieve that

Looks like some insurrectionists have occupied a domain within the incorporated jurisdiction of the City of Seattle. Every generation has to face the barbarians at the gate in the form of their own children. Methinks the Cascadians have failed.
Will truth and justice prevail in the latté opulent Neo-Parisian Commune Lite (with extra sprinkles); will history repeat itself a la les Reign of Terror; or will they get swarmed with a bunch of newly created Department of "Homeland Security" Federales, Janet Reno/Dick Cheney style? Who am I kidding, of course not, they only swarm and harass traditional Americans who believe in life, liberty, and self-ownership, never Marxian propagators of hate and dissension.
Personally, It would be a shame to see a once good city go to waste, but a city is only as good as its ability to be a an organized civic polity. Proles, and despots have one thing in common, neither can govern either responsibly or capably. Neo-liberalism is such a failure that the Marxists in our midst are emboldened and trying to Phase II Venezuela us into submission.
Instead of sticking with that which remains that has brought about the most freedom and prosperity for the most people ever -- instead of returning to that which has been discarded and/or ignored of same -- they want to destroy what the cannot by design directly control, even if that means plunging the the US and the world back to the dark ages with a socialist serfdom, or worse back to the Communist deathstyle of Stalin, Mao and Pol Pot.

Get to work, new government.
Narland, Rateria
I love that I just forgot what the Assembly was called so I called it Legislature and everyone just rolled with it.
My fellow Tatemites,
I have recently called a poll together. Fear not, there are no wrong answers; however, consider this a test all the same - a test on your loyalty.
As a member of the Reform Party, I have two main priorities. The first being to devolve power of the federal government as much as possible to the citizenry themselves, and the second to cultivate an unwavering cult of personality around myself; to help further these causes, I have created the an official Office of the President in the discord to be used as a citizens grievances channel. All ideas or grievances that you may have, I request that you bring them directly to the executive branch and I personally will see them to fulfillment. As your President, eternal and most wholly executive, I resolve that I am only in my position to do what you think needs to be done.
I would be in favour of any legislation that would devolve the Assembly in any way to divert more power to the citizens themselves.
As stated, I will not be raising a regional military or anything of the sort unless I find it necessary.
As our region is small and not as active as it once was, establishing individual offices would be impractical, this is why an Auxor Administration is all about the people. As it always was, and always will be (and about establishing an unquestioning and supreme cult of personality around myself).
Your President,
Auxorii
also the Eternal Premier and Father of the Republic
Chairman of the Reform Party
Jadentopian Order, The New Icelandic Commonwealth, Umakia
Hail Auxorii! Hail Reform!
Auxorii, Rateria, The New Icelandic Commonwealth
Not gonna lie fellas, I'm rooting for Auxorii in this one but that Auxorii dude makes a pretty convincing argument too.

The Reform Party should have caucuses so that it won't wind up running two completely different candidates like Auxorii and Auxorii for the same position.

Yeah, nice job beating that slime Auxorii. So glad that he didn't win and instead the great Auxorii will be our president.

welcome
How dare you say such things about Auxorii?!
Rateria
No no, he meant the other one.
Rateria
How does one go about proposing a law to be voted on by the assemblymen?
Rateria
A good way to do it is to write up a bill and ask one of them to bring it up the next time they convene.
Rateria, Jadentopian Order, The New Icelandic Commonwealth
Which other one? There's only one Auxorii. Everyone knows that.
The other one is named Auxorii. See, entirely different. Auxorii and Auxorii.
I can see why you'd be confused though since they sound kind of similar when you say them out loud.
Miencraft, Rateria, The New Icelandic Commonwealth
It's like the Nixon/ Simpson joke
Narland
Narlandish critique of the flag choices:
1st problem is the fallacy of limited choices.
Flag A is too French -- reminiscent of the disastrous way that nation has mishandled modernity nearly every step of the way. But it is colorful.
Flag B is sufficiently republican, but I would prefer a more liberal lapis lazuli tincture in place of the more statist indigo-ish blue. I would make the bell natural in tincture (bronze, wood and rope), and the banner blood red with gold hatching and lettering.
That's my 2c plain. :)
Miencraft, Auxorii
Red, white and blue are also the colours of America; besides, colours dont beling to any one nation.
Sounds better. It would be nice if someone with some graphic editing skills could bring it to reality.
I could give it a try. I am killer with finger paints and stick figures, but I am sure if it is too much, there is someone around the house that can gimp it up by the weekend.
My 2c was meant to be constructive. Narland is known as the "Land of Ugly Flags" for a reason. It is not the easiest thing in the world to make a flag. Some people make it look easy. I have never come close to winning a flag contest and in my teenage years entered as many as could be found that I qualified for.
Auxorii, Rateria
Everyone should just adopt my flag.
Or the glorious flag of Auxorii.
Rateria, Umakia
very close flag poll!
Speaking of the Flag Referendum, if you are not officially a citizen your vote will not be counted; if you havent been listed on the Citizenry then please apply so your vote can be counted.
Option A is currently ahead, with 4 citizen votes to 3.

No flags, no countries! Ⓐ

I do like the design idea of the caveat rattler with the defend banner and Liberty Bell, and thought some additional color would spice it up a bit -- red banner, yellow and black snake, bronze bell and wood yoke etc. I did not realize GIMP does not do vector graphics without creating a pixelated mess -- and what I tried to make looks like garbage. :( It is so much easier to throw eggs than to lay a golden one. i learned Illustrator X in college and it is a different animal.

Could always try tutorials or something online, I picked up PS in highschool and learned on my own. Its a bit daunting, but damn is it satisfying
Narland
The restart of Phase III of the Communist Revolution is underway and well funded on the streets of the USA, albeit 50 years deferred. Phase IV has been underway since the 60s, but neither can advance to phase V until both are complete. Phase III failed in the Great Before (before the Cultural Revolution of the 60s) when most hippies and urban poor proved too be too bohemian (in the former) or too boogie (in the latter) to reliably overthrow their "capitalist overlords" and betrayed the Revolution to the glitter of disco balls and the decade of the Me Generation.
Umakia
I guess back then being allowed by law to serve basic necessities most inexpensively through free and open markets (that US had before the Great Leap Forwar...er, the Great Society, GATT, NAFTA, Contract On America ad naseum) -- And being offered service with a smile (the customer is always right, after all) through mutually consensual purchases was too powerful for them to overcome. Continue breaking the system over the years with cronyism, socialist policies, and statist stupidity of Progressivist Democrats and RINO GOP so they will readily embrace the social(ist) justice that comes with a jack boot forever stomping on the human face.
Notice when a Marxist says social justice he/she/it is really saying socialist injustice -- as in let's get Leninist/Maoist/Pol Pot-ist on them?
50 years ago there were many WW2 Vets of the Greatest Generation calling for the County Armories to be opened and the People to lawfully march and fight the insurrectionists put a stop to the insanity. Guess what has happened since? Nearly every County Armory has been dismantled in both red and blue states. Civilians who own properly licensed machine guns and tanks (the licencing fees of which have skyrocketed beyond affordability for the middle class), and those who could still afford their Class III licenses have had to move them to the closest National Guard base -- at least here, which is a pain. I am told in a very few counties their Armories are intact. Where are the armories now? Where are those trained in basic policing by their Sheriffs and Commissioners to answer a call to Posse Comitatis? Narland is preaching to the choir re: his neighbors in Idaho, but feels like he is just shouting in the wind when trying to talk to Democrats in Democrat held areas.
The Police over the lifetime of my uncle (he was a Policeman and later a Bailiff and Independent Arbiter), went from (in this part of America) civic organizations funded and run by the local communities were Constitutional voluntary professional organizations of Peace Officers dedicated to Law Enforcement (note: Law capital L (Rule of Law) which is different than law (little L) or laws --rules and statutes made by men -- rules of some)). Then over the 20th Century, Progressives demanded that Peace Officers become regimented as Law Enforcement Agents of a state power (European sense), and their funding forcefully integrated into the organ of state (British Sense -- City/Munincipal and State governments (American Sense)) so they wouldn't be beholden to local community benevolence. No longer being a part of the community divorces them from the culture of the community and creates the typical statist monoculture of Us (blue liners) vs Them (perps -- who may be anyone on the community). Because of Progressivists, they were unionized, militarized, academiated beyond community input.
Bad decisions on the Circuit Court's ruling that Law Enforcement cannot enforce individual rights and liberties (4th Circuit Court) but statute and ordinance; they must police the property rights in general (whatever that means -- tragedy of the commons), and their primary job is as revenue agents (9th Circuit Court) has hurt as well. Progressivists break the most unique and well run self-governing policing apparatus run by the local Citizenry in the history of the world, into a 3rd rate Prussian bureaucratic nightmare that functions because of the valor and dedication of the individual officers themselves (much like the many outstanding public school teachers despite our Progressivist ruined public schools). They then have the pretentiousness/gall/superciliousness to demand that the Police forces that they borked and broke over the last century be defunded.
Its time to defund Progressivists wherever they be found.

One of the sweet elderly ladies attends a Sunday school class with us. Before the class started, she spoke in a voice that sounded like regret, "I helped tear down a statue back in high school."
The Sunday School group all turned to look at her.
She then beams with a smile, "Well, it was Jubilation T Cornpone after our Lil'Abner play."

Covid-19 especially targets church goers, bar hoppers, trump rallies, and independent thinkers who love Liberty,,,

Heres an idea, how about we cut funding to these schools from elementary on up that teach that America sucks and western ideals of faith, honor, and service are bad. How about we teach students that despite our mistakes the west and the usa in particular have been a bastion of freedom and prosperity. Maybe the next generation then wont believe in the lies of Marxism which to this day kills and enslaves people.

What's this thing about wearing a mask in America? Afaik scientists don't agree on how useful they really are
Smolcasm, Miri Islands
what do people think of parler? seems cool to be able to have some censored voices back.
It's not completely agreed how effective they are, but its mostly for keeping it from spreading rather than not getting it
Auxorii, Rateria, Smolcasm
The US is/has been all over the board with what they say about mask wearing. The CDC at first were saying don't -- it won't help; while some independent doctors were saying to wear one. Then the powerbrokers were all saying to lock down and wear masks, until the Soros induced riots, and then they and media got quiet about wearing them. I wear a mask when visiting immunocompromised/elderly and then incinerate it afterwards. Other than that I don't really care.
The CDC has been liars lying about the lies they were promoting to the point I am utterly disgusted with them. A good physician is hard to find. They are being replaced by federalized medicine industrial complex hawkers of the status quo masquerading as doctors while pushing pills and the latest bureaucratic policies from pharmaceutical lobbyists.
America doesn't have varied medical professions that practice medicine and healing in the classical sense anymore. It is more of a kludge of a medicinal sickcare maintenance scheme propped up by Congressional interference. Want pills to forget your ills? Check. Want to be well enough to not need them? Sorry, you cannot escape. One way or another you pay (either through taxes, insurance, or decreased productivity) for everyone else but yourself.
***anecdote alert***
My paternal grandfather was 10 when the Spanish Flu went thru. He had to take a horse drawn trolley to school (40 minutes) the next town over. The Flu was so bad that the trolley tracks between towns had mule carts on the side stationed in between so that when a body died they would just dump the body over onto the cart as it went by. On the worst day of it, my grandfather saw 5 people drop dead in the car he was in alone. All they really had was bleach and sunshine to fight it with. Covid-19 is a SARS and MERS type virus, but its societal effects are more akin to the Hong Kong Flu of the late 60s, and nowhere near as bad as Spanish Flu.
***end anecdote alert***
In the 80s and 90s we had nearly a dozen extended family who lived in or around King County (Seattle) Washington. As of 2020, we only have one family still there. The horror stories he tells as though that kind of life is "normal" makes me feel sorry for him.
What're some good criticisms of The Confederate States of America besides slavery from a Libertarian perspective? On the surface, a Confederal style of government seems inherently freer than a Federal style.
I'm already aware of the protectionism that was rampant in the South, and I'm also aware that several founders of the American Socialist and Labor parties were Southerners that shed their racism.
How do I square what seems to me to be the most individualist, rebelious, part of the country in terms of culture, with these facts? I'd like to take a course on the American South, but it wouldn't go towards my major and I'm suspicious it'd be riddled with propaganda.
Taxonomy
One of the greatest was the taxonomic changes. Before the civil war a confederacy was supposed to have a stronger central government than than a federal government. federal = federation.
The rub is that America is also a Union. The North seized the concept to impose Nationalization of the Federal Government not just over the 17 specific elements, but using the elastic clause to glob undelegated powers from all sources. Before the Civil War it was these United States. After the Civil war it was this United States. (Our Civil War was actually a Revolutionary War, as the United States was no longer a United Federation with a singular representative State (DC), but a Federal Union with a national state of the State (The Federal Government itself)).
The South needed to call itself something so it made a callback to the American Confederacy of the American Revolution. Before the Civil War the Confederacy had a stronger centralized governance Executively and Legislatively, but not Judicially. After the Civil War the North Federal Government had stronger powers all around and consolidated its claim with the Reconstruction. The concepts of a Federal Government having more centralization than a Confederacy has been set by this accident of history.
What was wrong with the Confederacy
The Confederacy was proto-Marxist in a loose American Christian Democrat sense but not an a Atheistic Marxist way -- although an actual Marxist revolution with all the hate, bigotry racism, that comes with Marxism, and lack of industry would have been very easy to accomplish. All the problems that have plagued the Democratic Party were intensified since the Democratic Party was ascendant (the party of chattel slavery, anti-equality, anti-13th Amendment, anti-Civil rights acts, pro-Jim Crow, pro-KKK, pro-segregation, pro-serfdom, pro-Socialist, anti-personal liberty.
There was a 3rd Great Awakening that went through the South in the 50s and 60s. Orthodox Christians hold that there is only one race, human (and any racial distinctions are cultural and familial). But the South gravitated to the racism taught in the social sciences of the time that Whites were evolutionary superior to other races. While they were anti-intellectual, they prided themselves on picking and choosing from the sciences what supported their prejudices.
The Confederacy was Anti-Intellectual (in the american sense) in general.
The South was adamant that Chattel Slavery was justified because of the scientifically proven superiority of Whites on one hand, and that God allowed it on the other --even though chattel slavery as practiced by the South is forbidden in Leviticus and the science to which they noted (what became known as Eugenics and Social Darwinism) was absolutely refuted by the end of WW2, but had standing in Academia until then.
They did not believe that Equality applied to all human beings. (Some people are more equal than others).
They did not believe that rights were inalienable.
They believed in poll taxes and direct taxation of the Citizenry which Federalists, Republicans (generic sense), and the GOP are supposed to abhor.
