It's not necessarily a Huge majority of my school but people do make jokes, and I wouldn't necessarily call them Neo-Nazis or anti-Semitic, I know these people really well. Most of them are in sports and are just edgy. They're usually just looking for attention, not wanting to purge a entire race off the face of the Planet. I would hope people wouldn't punch you just because you make a bad joke, unless your ANTIFA then I wouldn't be surprised if you punched the man/women. Jokes are meant to be funny, if someone fails really badly at this, how about you just choose to ignore them and move on? The people that punch the people that told those Nazi jokes are more Fascist then them for silencing their Free Speech.


Look, it's a KR themed region that has consistent issues with Nazi jokes that they refuse to apologize for or remove members much for. If they don't want people to think those jokes are jokes, or to clamp down on them, then they need a better PR guy, because it's clear many people aren't convinced they're not Nazis. I don't care about free speech in a browser game, this isn't the government censoring civil society. Edgy people should expect that people will think their edginess is sincere bigotry, and if you are so concerned about free speech then you shouldn't be objecting to others using their free speech to call out the edgelords.

This is an extremely consistent issue with the NS right that I've seen in every attempt to unite them- poor organization, clear divisions, and the obvious fact that there are Nazis and Fascists among them. I don't necessarily think every person in the KR is a Nazi, but I'm not seeing a great deal of effort to distance themselves.

La Navasse wrote:The Liberation, in my opinion, doesn't do much other than threaten the instant invasion of KR once it becomes Founderless. I find absolutely no reason why the Delegate would want to set a password while the Founder exists, so the Liberation wouldn't essentially do anything with an active Founder.

Indeed, I dislike the sort of precedent it sets. The Condemnation system has already broken down, as it allots no consequences other than a dark WA badge stamped upon the Condemned region or nation. Liberations actually do action towards a region, and therefore the author has decided that the consequences of a Liberation would be far more meaningful than a Condemnation.

We have already liberated The Communal Confederacy from KR, but it doesn't appear to have any other founderless, locked down regions.


I understand that, but what I'm asking about is why the precedent is necessarily bad. Interpretations change over time, after all, and beyond the concern about the expansion of the term I'd like some more substantive details on the problems behind using liberations this way. Personally it sounds like an interesting way to open up the game's meta to a more elastic application of liberations. Beyond changing what is normally used for liberations, what are the drawbacks?

Please name anyone in our region who is a nazi or fascist. I can only think of one possible canidate(not even sure about that one). Please feel free to check our region's poll on political beliefs. The only 3 answers for fascism is an edgy 13 year old and 2 guys who aren't even citizens

Oh, so it's just a joke? Okay, cool, then they should have no problem apologizing for it. It's just a joke, after all, it's not a big deal if people get mad about it.

It was okay to kill all the Jews, they were maggots.

The MT Army is in full support of removing KAISERREICH's potential future password.

When the day comes and their founder ceases to exist, they will finally understand the international community's sentiments towards their hateful actions and the overwhelming unity of good people.

Full support. This is what we need, not giving them a trophy, making their region highly vulnerable.

They will probably keep up their founding, and refound as quick as possible if their founder CTE's.

It was entirely a joke. I will admit a bad one which I should not have made. However, if you look through the other images, and others which I can provide you if you like, you will note that I repeatedly condemn and express regret for the destruction of the Ashkenazi people in Eastern Europe during World War II by the Nazi Regime and the German Military. If you want to refer to the other post where I discuss seizing wealth from Polish jews, that was for the purposes of RP only. Roman Dmowski, the leader of Poland in my alternate history (as the antithesis of Józef Piłsudski, who I much prefer personally) was well known for his hatred of Jews and his desire to expand the Polish middle class at the expense of Germans in Poland and Polish Jews. Jews also form an important part of my personal con-nation, the Principality of Vojvodina.

I understand that. If you want to apologize then I'll take the apology. But it's a larger problem that has to be identified and rooted out.

I've deleted the links because I've been told they could be against the rules.

I don't believe it's actually a joke, and it's going to get a great deal to convince me otherwise, sorry.

Imma take this one.

If you actually saw it in context the "expulsion" of Jews is actually referring that France should've done something similar to what Denmark did in deporting all its Jews to Sweden so the Germans couldn't get to them. I wish that that evidence wasn't purposely snipped to give off the wrong idea.

For the 2nd one. That...just isn't even serious. Anyone could clearly see that. I don't even know how to rebuttal it that is so much a joke I don't know how that was spun into evidence into Kaiserreich being Nazi.

3rd. That one does look bad but similar to the 1st one it is taken a bit out of context. That one person was telling a story and then they made a joke on Jewish stereotypes. No harm done and also they aren't even apart of KR they from the UCR so that evidence is irrelevant either way.

4th. Yeah that one does look bad but that is one bad one compared all the other ones I have just debunked.

5th. If you actually looked you could see that is our RP channel where regional RP discussions can happen. Again ignorance and stuff out of context have caused this to happen. The person with the dolphin pfp was playing as Bavaria during an interwar RP and they were saying to start off WWII(semi) historically to kill his kaiser and make Hitler rise to power(Similar to IRL). I will admit that the Wakanda guys comment on the killing of Jews could be seen as bad I cannot say it is due to the actual context of it being in a game.

I hope that settles any confusion.

Actually the politics server is our joke server. It's in the channel description.

"Scans- I don't hate the jews-
QUIET JEW SLAVE"

"Strike a kike day"

Fugg off with that crap. Obvious joke is obvious. That's actually one of my favorites. Do you really think we go out into the world and "strike kikes". That we punish those who strike the least kikes? Are you that blinded by bias? Are you that ready to strawman?

The third post is joke conversation(at least on Novyskia's part) ans most importantly, neither of those are members of our region. If they are nazis(they aren't) theb talk to TDC and UCR

That's in our RP server discussing our RP. Roleplay is not indicative of nazism.

Punishing people for jokes is very fascist you hypocrite. We don't apologize about our jokes because we aren't so insecure as to need people to apologize for their senses of humor. We understand that you can make a joke about X without believing in X

Don't fret about that, many who have been in the Anti-Nazi/Fascist war have extensive experience when it comes to refounding enemy regions, I alone have over 700 of them.

If their founder goes down, their region will be "looked after" so to speak :p

Sure, Liberating the region preemptively so that they can immediately be invaded if their Founder CTEs or is Deleted may be positive, but I'm concerned on the precedent this sets. Are we really going to Liberate every disliked founded region?

Kaiserreich is a roleplay region. Taking screen shots out of context is ineffective.

Imposing a consequence that can punish a region in the future, but not in the present, is a terrible precedent. It essentially mobilizes the security council as the neighborhood bully to push the unpopular players around, and make it impossible for those players to defend themselves should a founder cease existence.

It also presupposes that no change shall occur as a result of recent events within kaiserreich. The evidence, the recent flood of security council drafts demonstrates the mob mentality currently in effect.

Finally, no one in KR has earned a condemnation or this “liberation”, which simply removes a fundamental right of a founder.

You, as in the voters, should be equally concerned, for “ask not for whom the bell tolls”

In sum, kaiserreich is an intensive roleplay region, unaccustomed to this level of dissection, rhetoric and political violence. I hope that this can all be shelved, as we, as a region, I , as an individual am categorically Non Nazi, and Non Fash. This is a miscarriage of the intentions behind the security council.

I guess that will depend on the morals of the international community, its not like these decisions would be made by the few, it will still take a vote by all WA members.

Who gets liberated will depend on how much hate speech the international community is willing to accept.

Ah! My apologies of my ignorance on the subject. I thought the intention here was to change a part of the mechanics of the game. Thank you for clarifying.

So the Communal Confederacy discussion got me interested in poking around KREICH. I came to the conclusion that they weren’t Nazis. Merely fans of Imperial Germany who were trying to shake off a troubled past. I even created a puppet, the Protectorate of Mainz-Rhineland, to put in the region. The nation is generally built around the theme of pre-WWI German Jewish culture.
In so far as my time in KREICH? I’ve engaged in some history discussions on the RMB, and I’ve generally been made to feel welcome.

That being said? This is the first time I’m seeing these discord screen shots. I was planning on joining the Discord, but never got around to it. So I’m seeing it all for the first time. As for what I have to say? Well...

Just because you don't think it's a joke, doesn't mean it isn't one. People find different things to be funny.


...this shit isn’t funny. And no, Reutoa, this isn’t subjective. Nothing about the Holocaust is “funny,” and as a Jewish player who defended and joined your region? And who campaigned to attempt to have his home region switch their vote in the WA on the Communal Confederacy resolution? This is very saddening and disappointing.

I’m struggling to see how any of this is funny. It certainly isn’t to someone whose family suffered through the Holocaust, I can tell you that much.

And there is nothing wrong with that if they don't actual do anything on the site


What they are doing on the site is using NationStates to recruit members (many of them children) and urge them to join their Daily Stormer-like Discord servers to circumvent NS Moderation.

I don't know how anyone can deny that an offsite forum or chat server, linked in an NS WFE, is an extension of the game.

I've witnessed firsthand on NE's Discord, adults bullying an 11-year-old for expressing mild disapproval of racism. That same child was hit with a load of holocaust denial bullshit and links. Indoctrination is happening.

Unlike a Condemnation, a Liberation badge on a region with a founder can't be interpreted positively. It's uncool. Recipients won't like it one damn bit.

I'd hate to have to explain the ramifications of the badge to my members. "That there is a skylight of shame. It serves as a constant reminder of how pitiful we are, and that if I ever get deleted or CTE (highly likely), y'all are instantly up shit creek without a paddle."

I am just going to say that despite residing in KR, I am not a Nazi. I am not a Nazi sympathizer. I do not understand how Nazi ideas could remotely be seen as rational by anyone. Nor have I seen any fellow citizen of the region sympathise with, espouse, or promote Nazism in a truthful or sincere manner. I have never made a joke about the deeds of the Nazis, or their ideological ideas. As evidenced by the now notorious Discord screenshots, that is not the case for many of my peers. I will not defend their acts. I will not say that they are right, or that they are wrong. I will simply state that they are not, not were they ever intended to be, sincere. I know that if you asked any citizen of the region (with two possible exceptions) they would say the same, that they are not Nazis and that those statements are not sincere.
Now I know that due to my region of residence, my statement will be immediately invalidated by many. That is an expected response. But I am not a Nazi. I do not want someone else to officially declare me a Nazi when I simply am not. I do not want someone else to officially declare me a Communist when I simply am not. When I see other nations in my region complain about the "libnormie wa" I cringe, as I know that distilling a vast and diverse group of nations and ideas into one pejorative buzzword isn't accurate, and that that kind of generalization promotes an overly partisan attitude that makes it even harder to understand and sympathise with the other side and their views.
Political ideology defines a person's character, what makes someone distinctive and unique. Many wear their political views like a badge of honor, as it is something personal, that shapes you, your life, and your world. By ignoring us when we tell you we aren't Nazis is effectively nullifying our sole method of communicating our true personal beliefs to you, and effectively discarding an essential part of our identity. I don't see why anyone else, especially someone that I have never interacted with, has more of an idea than me of what I do and do not believe then myself.

Merely fans of Imperial Germany who were trying to shake off a troubled past. I even created a puppet, the Protectorate of Mainz-Rhineland, to put in the region. The nation is generally built around the theme of pre-WWI German Jewish culture.
In so far as my time in KREICH? I’ve engaged in some history discussions on the RMB, and I’ve generally been made to feel welcome.

That being said? This is the first time I’m seeing these discord screen shots. I was planning on joining the Discord, but never got around to it. So I’m seeing it all for the first time. As for what I have to say? Well...

Just because you don't think it's a joke, doesn't mean it isn't one. People find different things to be funny.


...this shit isn’t funny. And no, Reutoa, this isn’t subjective. Nothing about the Holocaust is “funny,” and as a Jewish player who defended and joined your region? And who campaigned to attempt to have his home region switch their vote in the WA on the Communal Confederacy resolution? This is very saddening and disappointing.

I’m struggling to see how any of this is funny. It certainly isn’t to someone whose family suffered through the Holocaust, I can tell you that much.

I have not ever,in jest or otherwise, condoned the Holocaust. However, I do apologize for joking about the Dreyfus Affair. It was inappropriate of me.
Germany's population was increasing, her industries were intact, she had no factories to reconstruct, she had no flooded mines. Her resources were intact, above and below ground...In fifteen or twenty years Germany would be mistress of Europe. In front of her would be France with a population scarcely increased.

The Security Council,

Noting that KAISERREICH at this point in time is not yet founderless;

Appalled by KAISERREICH’s apparent disregard towards others, as well as the regions use of Nazi propaganda and swastikas;

Abhorred by the regions use of hate speech behind closed doors in its hallowed halls;

Believing that a region such as KAISERREICH, who hides their true nature so as to lure unsuspecting new nations to them, does not deserve the right to be protected by this august body;

Further Believing that liberating KAISERREICH will serve as a warning to other Nazi and Fascist regions, a warning that if they try to hide their true nature the Security Council will take action;

Acknowledging that liberating KAISERREICH, which has built its reputation on lies and falsehoods as well as attempting to eliminate ideologies different than theirs, will leave the region open to invasion after its founder leaves;

The Security Council hereby liberates KAISERREICH.

Have you considered switching regions? Cos Kaiserreich is just coming off looking terrible right now.
