I was only half serious.

Hello, all! I have some good news!

First, while repairs on Henry will still take a couple more weeks, he's feeling well. Or, at least well enough to argue with Gordon, who has dropped by the Steamworks a few of times to visit Henry. Here's one exchange they had a couple days ago.

Gordon: So Henry, I guess this serves you right for mocking and embarrassing me by bringing up the Killdane incident.

Henry: Mocking? Embarrassing? I did no such thing! I was merely trying to show that your statement was inaccurate.

Gordon: That may have been the end result, but your intent was clearly to make me look bad!

Henry: Intent? You have some nerve throwing around allegations like that, you galloping sausage!

Gordon: Galloping sausage? Why you big green whale! I oughta...

Victor: Calm down, my friends! Gordon, shouldn't you be pulling the Expr --

Henry and Gordon: Not now, Victor!

Suffice to say Victor wasn't able to pry Gordon away from his argument with Henry in time, so Bear took the express instead. Gordon was not happy about that, let me tell you.

And in more good news, I told you that the Flying Thistle was coming to help while Henry is being repaired. Well, I'm pleased to report that Flying Thistle is doing an excellent job: He is kind and courteous to everyone he meets, he does his work without fuss, and he's done a great job of doing Henry's work (including pulling the Flying Kipper, Henry's famous nightly fish train). I just wish it didn't take Henry having an accident to bring Flying Thistle back to Sodor; I wish he would come here more often to help out.

Happy birthday, PBS, and thank you for broadcasting my show for American audiences! I wish you would show Thomas & Friends more often, but I'll let the people at Mattel (the company that owns the show) work that out.

Thanks. It was not a long time ago- just maybe 2 weeks. And this was the guy I had thought for a long time was really good but just didn’t know what he wanted.

Hmm, is there any issue that would allow me to experiment on humans?

Well the General is an autocrat and worshipped as a god.

Privatised as in owned by corporations. Tangshan is a paradise for the super rich and corporations. Although it does have a massive surveillance state, police force and military. It also spends a lot on corporate hand outs, tax breaks etc.

Because there's billions of us, our military is massive, we have nukes and we're extremely aggressive and imperialistic?

Nope. Because then said government becomes nothing more than a disguised bourgoisie, enforcing their wishes on the majority.

Plus, the Master Slave Dialectic and Social Contract Theory would mean that said government’s days are numbered. As are all dictatorships.

The Tang military and police will keep the people in line to stop them revolting. However, in my new nation New Salvatore, the fascist regime has a kind of social contract ideology. In exchange for surrendering some civil liberties and political freedoms, and performing your duties as a good citizen, the government will in turn look after you and defend your interests.

Ahhhh, that’s the problem. The Master Slave Dialectic explains how a Slave (your people) will be grateful for their Master at first. But then it will yearn for its own independence and emancipation as time progresses. After that, the Master is fukked

Imagine your nation as a well oiled machine. And, imagine the people as cogs in the machine. If even one cog breaks off, a chain reaction from the destruction will disrupt the functionality of the machine as whole. So, even if 500,000 of those billions become polarized, they’re still workers and productive people. That production ends if they refuse to work

Well the government recently quelled a strike. I know Mussolini banned trade unions so I thought, if this state is fascist, I doubt it will take kindly to strikes.

I just got the Issue about robot judges. I went with allowing robots on the bench, not only because the robot judge seemed like a nice guy, but also because I think us engines can relate a lot to those robots: Both of us (engines and robots) are made by humans to fill a specific purpose, and both of us had a long struggle for our rights and legitimacy as sentient beings to be recognized. The only differences really are that robots are a lot more ver-sa-tile (as Edward puts it) than us engines, and that us engines have more 'free will' than the robots. Although even the whole 'free will' thing is complicated for us: While engines aren't programmed and told what to think like robots are, just like robots, engines don't really decide their own 'purpose in life', as that's largely based on what they're designed to do. I'm a small engine, for example, so I mainly shunt and pull small loads; in contrast, Gordon is a big engine, so he mainly pulls the Express and other heavy trains.

National Bolshevik = nazbol = to put it as simply as possible, a nazi that misses the good stalin days of CCCP yet is still fascist in his views.

The Nazis hated and exterminated socialists. They only called themselves socialist in the beginning to appeal to the working class. Also, I have not read the chat.

OOC i was thinking of being a national socialist since i started this nation as a socialist then turned into nationalistic theocracy so i wanted to combine the 2 together, but i also didnt want to be seen as nazi nation and so i remembered that nazbols exist and thats how i remade my nation.
