That said, I'm glad to see the development of an ideology that applies specifically to the Sinkers. I'd just like to see it apply to all four.

To build on this, Lazarus didn't get Border Controls until they requested for them. I guess TRR could try requesting for them as well - especially if that is going to be the arbitrary barrier of entry in your new semi-sinker definition that you're trying to make up - but I'll only ever suggest such a thing if TRR's Border Controls sent 'rejected rejects' to Osiris!
If you'd like to know my thoughts on sinkers and the made-up Sinkerism ideology, or whatever the kiddos are calling it these days, you can find them here: https://www.nationstates.net/page=dispa ... TICLETHREE
Furthermore, I welcome the opportunity for us to discuss 'sinkerism' together and advise against trying to keep TRR out of something that we evidently are if you look at our game-applied tags (https://www.nationstates.net/page=tag_s ... tag=sinker).
Let's try to move away from dabbling in ridiculousness.

I feel like if you read this, Syb's reasoning behind TRR's exclusion from essay and ideology was reasonable and respectful. Sinkerism is necessary, in my opinion, because Feederism does not cover many of the problems that we face. TRR doesn't need yet another ideology applied to them which neglects to address the biggest issues that they deal with. Perhaps a kinder and more helpful approach for Rejects to take would be to start a discussion on our similarities? Syb can't write on something he knows nothing about. It would be presumptuous of him to even try. But a lending hand from Rejects who do know what they're talking about could bring a much more well-rounded and inclusive angle to Sinkerism as an idea.
Rather than just complaining that Osiris is being big, dumb meanies, I mean.

I think the assumption is that since future essays will discuss "rule and mindset in a Sinker," Osiris is autocratic, and Syberis has said the Rejected Realms is the only region in which democracy can truly work without being at the whim of the government, it's likely that future essays will propose Osiris' autocratic model of government as the preferable model for Sinkers. I don't know that future essays actually will do that, but I can understand the assumption.

You'll have to tune in next week, but you may be surprised.
