Hey all, after Sul sent a message to Lat last night asking him to reconsider, I figured I might as well throw what little I can say into the mix and as such recorded a video to try to give my reasons for not closing the embassies.

I like that you too use "CFN" instead of that "CoFN" or "COFN" nonsense.
Guys, we've been far too inauspicious with respect to our region(s) to have an acronym that is pronounced "coffin".

Indeed.
I prefer CoFN because CFN was a region that isn't this. It's either that or the Confederacy.
Jaslandia
To be honest, I use CFN too. I've had to force myself to say CoFN for too long.
I said basically the same thing when I saw it, then praised him for the following reason.

Hey guys.
I will try to keep this a simple and clear message to all of you.
While reading your comments and understanding your arguments and counter arguments as well as taking extreme notes on the threats of impeachment that I and my administration received. I got to ask that you all calm down a bit and get serious for a second.
Since day one of my Presidency, I have always been accused, politically attacked and criticised that I control my Ministers and tell them how to run their office. Not only this accusation has been proven wrong and a lie, but right now having Oel choosing to close embassies with GR, I get the same people that did accuse me long time ago, asking me now, to overrule the decision of one of my Ministers who they voted upon.
As funny as that is, it shows me one undeniable truth. That we are all united under the same principle that we can not stand one another.
In my humble opinion, I believe undeniably, that the region should be proud of the second Administration. Not only you got a strong President that sticks around and protects the rights of the citizens of the CFN, here and outside there. But you also got a group of people that have done some wonderful work around here. And that is whether you believe it or not!
When I discussed with Minister Oelesa his agenda and plans for the MoFA, I made sure that he understood the fact that he is the expert in his area and that I supported him at every step.
And in fact this is what I do with all my team's members. They are not my Ministers, they are my team. And that is despite the fact that the interests of some individuals has changed through time (lesson learned).
I told Oelesa that I would support his decision no matter what that was. In fact, I am not intending on changing his given order. Only he can do that!
Closed embassies does not necessarily mean that our relations end with the GR.
Especially when you had all been informed by former Minister Humpheria that we have a new policy around in the FA, which turns GR's Embassy into a Consulate. Our friends in the GR no matter how many they are, can always contact us through our Discord channel and our forums as they have always had in the past.
With that being said, I got to say that I Latrovia, am no ones friend, boyfriend, lover or husband. I am in fact, the President of the CFN and it is my duty and my responsobility to make sure that progress will be achieved in our region. And that is by building a strong two-key-factors. A strong Foreign Affairs and a strong Interior.
Thank you all,
The President
Vista Major
I may only have served as MOFA once but I believe that if we are to create a stronger foreign affairs we need to forge newer and better regional alliances and open more embassies instead of closing one of the few we still have.

There is a lack of real men. What makes a real man? Not some bigoted arsehole, but a man who takes responsibility for himself and others, who understands what it means to provide and that sometimes, force is necessary. A real man respects women not because they are the same, but because that is what gentlemen do. A man is mature enough to understand reason, and does not accept the perversion of masculinist values. This is the type of man women want, and if you're not this, you're either a woman or a boy.

Sinovet, Aldaur
Before I respond to the rest of this message, can you please stop using this as a talking point? You use it all the time, even when it's not relevant to what's going on.
Decent, though a little condescending.
We told you not to micromanage, but you seemed to misunderstand what we said there as "Don't ever do anything whatsoever." So, I mean, unless someone else told you never to get involved in your ministries, I don't believe I'm the one this painted hypocritical stance.
No. That's an opinion if it's been good or not. Objectively speaking: We have no new embassies, we are now down 1 actually. I have yet to see much activity from the Ministries of Internal and Justice, especially now that the law carryover has been abolished which means the Law Archive, Constabulary, among other duties of the ministry are no longer applicable. I don't see any reason to be proud of the 2nd administration, especially considering how rocky it's been with just public relations.
The thing is though, none of that was really relevant to the conversation and instead was more promoting your administration, which I guess is responding to the call for your impeachment.
Okay, still doesn't mean the minister should be given literal full autonomy to do what he wants. Otherwise, we wouldn't need a President, just the minister.
You are the leader. You are the President. You can, and when issues arise, should intervene. That's why you're the President.
Al could come on the Discord whether we had an embassy or not, and yes they can definitely come on the forums.
Frankly, again, it's the matter of our relationship with them. I already gave you my reasons in the telegram, and people have literally made videos about it, so I'm not going to make this post longer by just rehashing them.
Yeah, you are the President. You are to be the people's guy in the government. There has been a decent outcry over this, relatively unified outcry in fact over it. Maybe do a poll or something, or maybe the HoD will take action to overwrite it.
No matter what though, I can tell you that I'm going to work tirelessly to get this decision overwritten. In your own words

Vista Major, Kalaron
Have you seen the state of our society? No there are not. Our culture has become overly effeminate. There are very few real men.
All authority derives from force and force must be used to defend your family, your country, and your values. If you're not willing to use force, than you are not a man, but an unwilling boy. Men understand their responsibilities.
Women want a man that is strong, reliable, dependable, someone who can provide, is devoted to their family, respectable, trustworthy, smart, confident, someone who likes children but isn't a child themselves. If you could sum it up in one word, responsible. What women really want is a masculine man. The more left leaning women may not say it because they have the image of an abusive, inconsiderate bigot when they think of masculinity, but that just isn't true. It is only natural that women want this, because this is how men should be, and is the same across all cultures.
No fallacies here.
Haha, good one
How would you know what a women wants? Last time I checked not all women wanted a man.
The Royal Republic Of Kumania, Jaslandia
Obviously, I am referencing to heterosexual women. Don't play dumb.
You seem to equate femininity with weakness. A classical argument flawed in the fact that femininity does not overall make one weaker than their more masculine counterparts. Actually, the forcing of men to be more masculine than they would like makes them weaker, physically (due to pressures for them to get big quick, which can have very adverse effects on the body) and psychologically (being denied your basic self can lead to certain disorders, or, at the very least, break one's will--which is counterproductive to your vision).
Secondly, culture is not universal, at least in the respect at which you speak. The generalization that all women want a muscled man denies the fact that there are millions of women who genuinly prefer the exact opposite. Yes, this can be determined by both cultural influence and biological/psychological make-up.
The Royal Republic Of Kumania, Jaslandia, Magnatronia
You didn't specify. Are you saying referencing the LGBTQ+ community is "playing dumb"?
The Royal Republic Of Kumania, Jaslandia, Vista Major
I have a female friend who likes chubby men.

Sinovet, Aldaur
I think he just means he's talking about the majority of the population. The playing dumb part is just for pointing out a minir exception and using it as an ultimate counter argument
Not that I know what either of you are talking about :p
Aldaur
I never said women want muscled men, but want masculine men. For example, in Polynesian cultures, fat men are seen as masculine in their culture and is desirable to women. This is because to them, fat means they can provide for themselves and thus, others. Femininity isn't about strength. A woman can be strong, but strength is a masculine trait. There is no doubting it.
I'm not even going to respond to this because you know you're being dumb and that I was talking about heterosexual women. It is clear by context.
Sinovet
As do Polynesian women. Fat equates to masculinity to some.

It almost seems like masculinity is relatively subjective and changes from woman to woman based on culture, upbringing, and other influences.

Also, I remind you that femenine and female are in no way the same thing.

Sinovet, Jaslandia, Continental Commonwealths, Minnesota Dakota
Well, sort of. There are common themes on what is masculine. What us typically different is what people consider to be masculine. If that makes sense. For example. One woman may think muscles is masculine, and another may think far is masculine, but they think each is masculine because it demonstrates to them that the man can provide for them.
Very true.
Imo, we should separate boys and girls in elementary school and have them taught by their respective sex. The reason being is that boys and girls are biologically different, and thus learn much differently.
Sinovet
This is just the right amount of misdirection and cheekiness I have come to appreciate.
Unless, of course, you're just really excited for Presidents Day. In which case, good on ya- I just misunderstood the entire point of your message.

Nuremgard, Aldaur
Ah, but you have been raised in a culture which tells you it is okay to speak and treat women as second class citizens. You do not know any better. You too are a victim of the patriarchy.
#MenAreOppressedByThePatriachyToo
Jaslandia
Same
Aldaur
What about them? They are unhappy. They get divorced. They are degenerate. Pretty much as society is now.
For an adequately functioning society, archetypes must be restored and recognized as a matter of what people naturally want, no matter how much people fight it.
The Patriarchy is not the oppression of women. It is the calling of men to be role models and leaders for the family unit. Men do not treat women as second class citizens. That is something boys do.
Uh huh. Because as we know, only those who don't fit into these artificial, socially constructed archetypes get divorced, are unhappy, are degenerate etc.
I'm not a very masculine man and I'm gay. Am I unhappy and degenerate? Or am I fighting what I "naturally" want, which to you, would be a feminine woman?
Jaslandia
I mean, are we making general statements here or literal ones? Because I have anecdotes that can, in debate, be used to dismantle "All X's are Y" arguments.
Jaslandia
First, you haven't.
Unf made a joke that you -still- refuse to take as such, wherein he noted to Humph that he shouldn't "Legitimize the new administration".... a power that I [B]really[/B] shouldn't have to stress that he knows neither he nor Humph have.
Beyond that, you've attempted to say that I was the reason people voted no on your bill, and the reason people didn't like everything you did was actually just that they were supporters of Humph...then there was that time you called Humph "Salty" and stated you didn't want to deal with his "constant change of moods." in the Debate chamber to dismiss his -admittedly nitpicky- note that you had no authority to request the House Convene...or that time that you tried to claim that people were "Showing their true colours" on the Forums because they didn't vote with you...or that time that you actually got mad at people for disagreeing with the notion of you using executive power to overrule the will of the people -that is, to integrate a failed bill as a policy instead while stating that "The jokes on you"- while still claiming to only be making choices by the will of the people.
So...uh...really, you've kinda been infuriating people and then claiming harm.
Furthermore, it was Humph and a few others who said that you were kinda being too grubby with reports from the ministries, I never said anything to you at all about it, and I wouldn't, so I kinda resent the thought that I'm being hypocritical here.
I mean, really, this is more people asking you to at least have a poll, I'm sorry that it seems your wish to strike at critics with some personal bias in decisions is more important than that terribly hard democratic ideal.
Or, maybe it shows that people would rather defend Al's ability to post here without being forced to leave his region than fall behind some strange idea of "Efficiency" that needlessly cuts it out.
I'd address the other points, but unrelated rhetoric without evidence is hardly worth responding to at 10:26 at night on a Thursday.
Frankly, the point still stands, the people of the Commonwealth seem to support a poll, so if the good Oelesa or The President would kindly at least make one, I would be very thankful.

Again, I'm just talking about heterosexuals. Homosexuals have their own stuff to sort out that I don't care to have a say in.
They are. No one wants to admit they are unhappy, but they are. It just becomes an additional thing to be unhappy about.
Yes there is. People who say there isn't a normal are moral relativists who are lost.

Masculine heterosexual men and feminine heterosexual women.
It should be noted that what isn't normal does not equate with being bad. Homosexuals for example are not normal because they only make up 3% of the population (in the US). Therefore, they are not in the norm. If things like homosexuality or gender dysphoria were normal, they would never have been seen as problems or something worth fighting for in the first place.
