True. Like I have said before, being a British nationalist is a legitimate political position. I only wish many unionists would just admit that is what they are instead of arrogantly sneering at Scot Nats as if they are somehow superior to us because they support the UK.

I assume he's referring to the 'anti-SJW' YouTuber known as Sargon of Akkad (real name Carl Benjamin), though if you're an ancient Sumerian, it also applies to the Akkadian king.

Propagating the unionism of a country isn’t the same as believing yours is the best, superior or even just your favourite. Even if the two overlap, there’s times where they don’t and people who fall into that category must be recognised. Whether or not they arrogantly sneer, think they’re superior or whatever is down to you - but to be clear that’s your opinion and not a fact about the ideology. Refusing to distinguish unionists and nationalist is just pedantics for the sake of it to be honest.

You worked on a trench railway, Millie? What was that like? I imagine you saw a lot of devastation and suffering.

Penguania And Antarctica, Percyton

Jaslandia wrote:You worked on a trench railway, Millie? What was that like? I imagine you saw a lot of devastation and suffering.

Millie: I did see a lot of devastation and suffering. I saw destroyed farms, once-green fields which had been abandoned, and homes destroyed by artillery shelling. It was a miserable experience for sure. But there was one bright spot: the men, who were very kind despite their terrible circumstances, and who were very fond of me. One man who was particularly fond of me was the Earl/Duke of Sodor (or as I called him, the Duc de Sodur, since I had trouble pronouncing 'Sodor' back then), which at the time was Charles Henry Norramby. He was a good friend, and we got along splendidly! In fact, when the Germans briefly took over the area I was in and forced me to work on their trench railway, it was the Duke of Sodor who led the attack that rescued me and my area. When the war was over, I had to separate with the Duke: he had to return home to 'Sodur', and I went to work on a civilian railway in France.

Fascinating. So how did you end up on Sodor?

Penguania And Antarctica, Percyton

Jaslandia wrote:Fascinating. So how did you end up on Sodor?

Millie: Well, when my railway closed just ahead of the German invasion of France, the now much-older Charles Henry Norramby bought me and brought me to Sodor. He kept me in storage at the family estate of Ulfstead Castle while he decided what to do with me, but he kept putting it off, and he died in 1941. His son and successor as Duke, Robert Charles Norramby, never got a chance to know me, as he was away fighting World War II, dying on the North African front in 1943. Robert Charles' son, Richard Robert, was only a boy, and I never got to know him until he came of age. When I finally did get to know him, he seemed kind, but he was always busy trying to repair the family's wealth and prestige that had been lost after his father's death.

Millie: Eventually, in 1965 I think, Richard Robert sold Ulfstead Castle, as the costs of maintaining his household there were getting too high. I moved to the Duke's new house just outside the town of Ulfstead, and there, he finally took me out of storage and built me a small backyard railway. While it was nice to finally stretch my wheels, I missed the long runs of my old railway, and I wanted to do more than just go around in a circle. Richard Robert's younger brother, Robert, sympathized with me, and tried to convince Duke Richard to buy back Ulfstead Castle (which had since become a luxury hotel) and renovate it, complete with an estate railway for me. The Duke finally did so in 2007, and he moved me to Ulfstead Castle to help build the new estate railway on the castle grounds. Robert, his work now done, left Sodor to travel the world.

Millie: At first, things went well, and I was not only was I glad to be really working again, but I was also glad to finally have the chance to get to know Duke Richard. Unfortunately, the Duke's health started failing around 2008, causing him to abandon the project and leave me in my shed. The Duke died in 2011, and as he had no children, his brother Robert became Duke of Sodor (although Robert preferred to go by 'Earl of Sodor', which is actually the real title of the 'Duke' of Sodor). Robert came back to Sodor from traveling the world, and took me out of my shed to continue work on renovating Ulfstead Castle. The rest is history, as the saying goes, and I've worked on the Earl's Estate Railway at Ulfstead Castle ever since!

You're falsely assuming that nationalists believe their nation is superior. If you believe in preserving a nation-state or believe that your nation should become independent of another, you are a nationalist. So if you believe in preserving the British state you are a nationalist. Doesn't mean you think Britain is superior. You simply believe it should be maintained as a state.

The argument isn't that black and white, you're assuming I'm saying that nationalism = superiority. It doesn't, but it certainly has followers and tenants which would support that, just as socialism has tenants that would support Bolshevism - but not every socialist is a Bolshevik. These strands are evident in British and especially English nationalism, therefore it would be inappropriate for the wider political community to call themselves nationalists as they would be associating themselves with groups totally opposed to the modern values of liberty, freedom and equality - thus contradicting exactly what they stand for and sending the wrong message. Once again, it's not because everyone hates Scots or has this wider conspiracy against them/you, it's simply a matter of common sense.

Good morning everyone! Have a great day!

What miserable life I live.

A little late to the poll, but it's between Sudric and French for me. Sudric because it's the ancient language of Percyton, and since I'm King of Percyton, it would make sense for me to know Percyton's old language (although most people in Percyton speak English now, and Sudric doesn't have a lot of speakers left and is kinda dying out). French because then I could understand more of what Millie and Daisy are saying.

There are going to be elections in Iraq this year, and three major Shia factions are at the forefront of the election. First is Abadi and his Victory Front, who has garnered controversy for his friendliness towards Iran, causing him to distance himself with the Iranian militias that helped Iraq defeat IS. It's also important to note that he has also distanced himself from the Islamic Dawa Party, the political party he used to be a part of, because of how Maliki is trying to become Iraq's PM again and is trying to cut off Dawa funding to Abadi. You also have the Sadrists, who are fiercely anti-Iran and anti-American, so seeing success on their front will be interesting in the coalition-making that will inevitably take place after the elections. Either that, or Iraq enters itself into a second civil war between the Iraqi government and the Iranian militias that it used to ally itself with.

Jas Appreciation Day

Jaslandia, Vista Major

Gualimole wrote:There are going to be elections in Iraq this year, and three major Shia factions are at the forefront of the election. First is Abadi and his Victory Front, who has garnered controversy for his friendliness towards Iran, causing him to distance himself with the Iranian militias that helped Iraq defeat IS. It's also important to note that he has also distanced himself from the Islamic Dawa Party, the political party he used to be a part of, because of how Maliki is trying to become Iraq's PM again and is trying to cut off Dawa funding to Abadi. You also have the Sadrists, who are fiercely anti-Iran and anti-American, so seeing success on their front will be interesting in the coalition-making that will inevitably take place after the elections. Either that, or Iraq enters itself into a second civil war between the Iraqi government and the Iranian militias that it used to ally itself with.

Shouldn't Iraq and Iran be allies because they're both Shia? Why do some Iraqis hate Iran?

One, around 35 percent of Iraq's population is Sunni. Two, many Iraqis, regardless of their religious affiliation, hate how Iraq is slowly turning into an Iranian puppet state because of the growing Iranian influence in Iraq.

It's not really Saddam's fault that Iraq lost the Iraq-Iran War. Most Arab armies, in general, have had a bad track record on the battlefield. Command lines are slow, officers are appointed based on political and familial connections instead of by skill, and training is intentionally lackluster to prevent the army from becoming too powerful and overthrowing the government. As long as Arab leaders fear their armies overthrowing them, Arab armies are going to continue to be in the lackluster condition that they are in. Saudi Arabia can't beat Houthi rebels in Yemen and Libya wasn't even able to defeat Chad in the 70s and 80s.

Maybe Arab leaders should stop oppressing their people and treating them like sh!t. Then the army might not want to overthrow them.

It's doesn't really have anything to do with civil liberties. It's really only in Turkey where the army overthrows the civilian government in the interests of the Turkish people's civil liberties. And they're not even Arab! For the most part, Arab armies overthrow their governments in the for the sake of power, not for the sake of protecting their people from tyranny. One important exception to this would kind of be the July Revolution in Iraq where the army overthrew the artificial monarchy the British had instated in the country. Nasser coming to power in Egypt is another exception. But for the most part, military interference in civilian governments has more to do with power struggles than civil liberties.
