Fallacy fallacy.

Is that all you have as a counter-argument?

Regardless? The precedent set by Liberate KReich and Liberate Nazi Europa only says "Nazism is bad." You and every other hand wringer worried that this will open the flood gates to offensively "liberate" any other region are missing the point entirely. The precedent only targets Nazis and Nazism. There is no slippery slope to targeting pro life regions, conservatism, liberalism, or anything else because the precedent is every specific in only mentioning Nazism. It is not a given that this will lead to targeting any other ideology, because in order to target another ideology it would have to be separately targeted. And there appears to be NO appetite in the SC for using liberations to combat anything but Nazis.

Therefore there is no slippery slope. It started and stopped with Nazism.

Nineteen pages on their server of mentions of the word "Jew", every last one in a negative context, more than one referring to Germans needing to try harder during the Holocaust, are plenty questionable. For a "non-Nazi" region, they sure post Nazi propaganda, jokes, rhetoric, and topics way too much.

However, Kaiserreich's obvious closet fascist leanings aren't the issue. Nazi Europa is 100% pure Nazi. Nobody even tries to deny that. Nazi Europa's community should be used to being cracked by the SC by now anyway, just perhaps not when the founder is still alive. :p

So, it's their server, they can say what they want, and it should have no bearings as to what they do on NS or say. If you can't take a joke and are so offended, then ignore it since it appears so many people here have thin skin , it's not your business or anyone else's anyway.

Do you even know how those screenshots came about? Kaiserreich invited a Pacifican ambassador to their server to prove they weren't Nazi. A thorough inspection of the server displayed a copious array of what I mentioned above. It was not particularly convincing evidence that they have no connection to Nazis.

I've said it before and I'll say it again - I wouldn't tolerate this in my own region's server, and I don't find it to be a normal thing.

Regardless, this thread is not about Kaiserreich. Redirect the topic to Nazi Europa. :p

I am pretty sure that if I post shit like this in any NS discord, if I am lucky I'd get banned for a limited time of the servers. Also, what you said only applies to moderation. The community can do anything they want with this evidence.

This seems pointless. Even if you destroy Nazi Europe, it will be reincarnated in some other form somewhere else.

Except that it is hard to completely rebuild a community, and to get all the members back. Furthermore, it makes the nazis feel less welcome.

It's why I am against raiding, in general. Nazis don't count, though.

You know, all I ever hear from some people is "The World Assembly doesn't do anything", "The WA is useless", "The WA never accomplishes anything". Now that the WA has found something it can do, people complain.

If we are going after the Nazi's, can we also then go after the communist. Since both Nazi's and Communist are essentially either really dumb, don't know what they are talking about, and/or just jerks that are pissed at the world for there own inadequacies.

Knock it off with the trolling/flamebaiting of both groups. You can argue about the proposal without the clearly OOC attacks on people you disagree with.

Therefore there is no slippery slope. It started and stopped with Nazism.


For the record, and admittedly post-passage, the above is NOT how precedent works in legal terms. Not at all.

Precedent isn't about WHOM was the target of a piece of legislation, it's about the HOW in which you use it.

IF you successfully use a law originally designed to remove passwords from a founderless region during a raid, and apply it to remove passwords from founder-controlled regions on the basis of disliking who they are, i.e. and to whit:"…targets Nazis and Nazism", then you've redefined the application for what the original law was intended. You've set what constitutes a legal precedent.

Based on this new application of the Liberation, you can now use it against A) any region that's under siege from an invading force or B) "target" any region the WASC now or in the future, has a problem with. Sure, it's not likely to happen with the current left-wing control of the WASC, but as happens in RL, people's views can shift.

Discrimination is a door that sadly swings both ways depending on whom happens to be in power.
