Region: Libertatem
That's pretty neat and all, but Paul Krugman said fiat is good, and he has a Nobel prize so
Obviously a loose connection and probably a coincidence, but hey man, you never know...
I like conspiracy theories too. It's very interesting. One of my favorite YouTube channels is All Time Conspiracies. Some of the videos they post are pretty interesting
Given what we know of the assassins, it's likely it was at least a small part in the deaths of both of them, but in all likelihood not nearly a large enough influence to connect the two.
But, seriously, when they find out more about Oswald and about how he hated the gold standard, look at who predicted that.
RRRG did.
That's who.
Do note that when it's late at night and I say "Seriously" it's probably sarcastic.
This is the kind of thing that makes me know this is home.

"3 hours ago: The Empire of Magic Conch departed this region for Bikini Bottom."
Don't leave us! You were our only magical conch shell!
Noooooooooooooo
I actually thought that was you.
Well crap. Now what do we do?
"Nothing."

This doesn't even make sense, NationStates.
So, I got TG-blocked 14 days ago, andit still won't let me send. ugh. I have no way to contact the mods to ask them about it.
Welcome to nation states
Use the forums or the getting help page
You know what really grinds my gears? That freaking movie "the purge". As If the huddled masses wernt afraid and misinformed enough about what the word anarchy actually means
The forums are actually pretty cool, I've never even looked twice at them before.
Yeah, but at the same time there's just no reasoning with Hollywood.
I"M BACK BABY! I can now send telegrams, so I can conduct business again.
Glad that you've finally discovered them. We should do some tag-teaming on there some time.
Follow the seahorse.
Is this implying that we did something before
Magic conch is back!
Well.....in all fairness. If the Government were to shut down for one Fay in the society we have. That is probably what would happen.
The scenario they did is probably what would happen. Notice it was not Anarchy but instead the shut down of all 911 systems and a government promotion of crime.
So all in all it was a government promotion campaign to lower crime rates by allowing it on one day legally.
Oh magic conch shell, if Bikini Bottom is the city, whatever happened to the bikini top?

I suppose a topless bikini is a bit much to ask for.
(My puns get worse all the time...)
Anytime.

1700s British Poltiics were fun
Whigs v. Tories
Break-off group of Whigs joins Tories when the Whigs become to Establishmentarian
These Whigs break from Tories and form the Patriot Party
The Whigs become less Establishmentarian and the Patriot Party breaks up....
It's a pretty riveting subject.
riveting
whoop
Early France is also exciting politically.
Makes you wonder who the good guys were.....
The French liberals were usually more radical, and thus closer to modern libertarians.
Bastiat and Torqueville come to mind.
I love the French Revolution.
In fact, I put a Torqueville quote in the WFE of IS.
They could not teach us enough French Revolution (Révolution française). It being in France, you got to see a cultural aspect as well. It was delightful. Robespierre is one of the most despicable figures in French history. Almost as bad as Louis.
I am going to establish an Ayn Rand version of the Cult of Reason.
Libertas!
No wonder they are atheists.
I myself liked the Girondists...They were revolutionaries who didn't support the Montagnards Revolutionary policies.
However over time the Girondists became the more Napoleonic group and the Montagnards ended up going against them in a debate of War and Anti-War
I think that Robespierre was a revolutionary thinker prior to power, but he turned on his principles and became the monster he fought. His past did not make up for his actions.
He got drunk off power.
I have a hard time seeing a communist revolution doing any better. Commies, D-Bate Meh!
Let them eat cake!
On that note, the movie changed everything for me. When I think of Marie Antoinette I picture Kirsten Dunst. Not disappointed.
How Socialism would've saved the French Monarchy......That'd be a nice read...
Oh wow
This IS new.
Yes. Now Libertatem can slowly take over everyone's regional message boards with spam.
Haha. Ha. Ha. Hahaha!
I'm exploding with elation.
Spom? Spom.
No ._.
*slowly begins to regret voting for the Communications Deregulations Act*
The Commonwealthians shall rise.....
We need more socialist embassies so we can spa... Engage in logical debate!
(Kidding)
The Internationale
NO
If you say that one more time...I swear...
The Internationale
KICK THIS TRAITOR NOW
HELL NO
THEY WERE LITERALLY THE LARGEST COMMUNIST REGION EVER WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU
Hehe
They are a leftist region. Not Commie region.
DON'T MENTION THE WAR!
..The Internationale?
Leftist region I'm pushing Libertatem to ally...
Oh Dalek. I'm TA by the way.
IT'S SO RED
Gee you'd think they'd move away from the whole stars,red,sickle,red,sickle,hammer,sickle,red,red design.
No, I'm pretty sure they are communist.
According to them they cover
Communism
Socialism
Progressivism
Anarco-Leftists and Libertarian Leftists.
THEYRE FREAKING COMMUNISTS
They address each other as "Comrade". We cover libertarians, conservatives, liberals, and a variety of others. We're still a libertarian region.
Yes but they don't register as Communists they register as a Big tent region for lefties
For a libertarian region you guys are really not that good at upholding another region's freedom of choice in becoming communist
Only the Individuals and Collectives of citizens have these privileges. Not the government.
So not the citizens of foreign regions?
We've turned into a libertarian region. This region was founded to combat communists. Also, who are you and why are you here?
Old habits die hard, right?
I'm Dalek. Hello.
Y'all opened communications with your embassies.
He's from CFN like me.
1. You know nothing of this region or its traditions.
2. No one asked you to come insult this region, I'm fine with diplomacy, but you're not very diplomatic.
I'm not interested in killing that habit. This region has and always will, actively stand against the force of communism.
Nobody asked you.
We should really atop the war on them and should push for relations.
*checks record player for damaged vinyl*
I'm not insulting your region. I'm sorry to see you take offence at that, I'm just making a statement that the way you go about things goes against what I would call libertarianism, but not being a libertarian myself I'm not saying I have qualms with it.
Geez, so hostile.
Why be so disrespectful to the folks that are allowing you to post here?
Again, I'm not being disrespectful. Maybe it's coming across that way, because one of the previous nations I was using had it's region desecrated by these people in the name of anti-communism, but to be honest I'm not bothered. I was just interested in knowing how they call themselves libertarian.
It seems instead of explaining it they're just being hostile.
Aren't CFN and Libertatem just the beast of friends?
*growls*
If you carried yourself like you proclaim our intentions, we would be open to chatting, we've tolerated TTA for this long. But when you come in here and insult, despite your defenses, you can't expect a hero's welcome.
I ain't criticizin or nuttin, but the Coalition Of Independent Nations looks like a dual-shrine to Hallo and Anhka. Their music choices and their book choices. And hating on disabled people.
At least we can be civil with leftists.
Also, you obviously didn't read that conversation.
"civil"
But I didn't insult intentionally. I simply stated that it didn't look very libertarian. Did that hit a nerve?
I didn't expect a hero's welcome, I expected an answer/correction to my statement.
This region was not originally "Libertarian," in the modern sense. If you want a purely Libertarian region, there is Laissez Faireholm next door, and Capitalist Paradise if you just want economic policy.
This region is home to a lot of Objectivists, who have different ethics than Libertarians, particularly concerning war. Consequentialist Neo-Libertarians are welcome too, as well as Neo-Conservatives.
Tolerated me? Well then...

Not you necessarily, more your rants and over-analyzations.
This was what I wanted.
Geez
I said something similar earlier.
I wasn't talking about the lefty region and you didn't really answer my question with your response.
Okay..yeah I see that.
Some of my theories and thoughts are a little extreme and against this region's traditional values.
Also the Centrist is here as well....so they accept all types of people here but they fight totalitarian regimes (Which they have no business with.)
That being said, we do have a number of ancaps and deontological libertarians in this region, most notably our president. I don't understand how AnCaps tie in the raiding aspect with their philosophy, but ditto.
LETS GO TO WAR! LET'S DO IT! C'MON! LET'S GO! MNNAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH!!!
