Add a couple of perpendicular bars to the downwards-sloping line on your tilted Farkasfalka symbol and you get a fucking swastika :roll:

Sandwich a bar of Toblerone between two perpendicular bars of Toblerone and you get an elongated letter "H..." or, at worst, a bastardised letter "Z." The Farkasfalka symbol by itself does not appear controversial to most people; tilt it a bit the right way - as has happened with the WOLVES AMONG MEN poster above - and you start to remind them of the Nazi swastika (which, I hasten to remind you, the moderators do not like).

Your impression of Farkasfalka as being merely "decreeist," rather than fascist, is not helped when one of your Tribunuses(?) and your Minister for Internal Affairs (also a Tribunus) are both openly celebrating Hitler's birthday on the RMB.

This does not look like any sort of discussion about "space colonisation," and Kustonia's post attempting to encourage such discussion has met two replies, both of the form "yeah, I'll write something later." If you want to promote "civil discussion" on the RMB, please don't do so by presenting a post about somebody complaining that his post was suppressed for using the word "shithole" as a good example thereof.

I tilted the symbol to align with Napoleon's horse. You don't have to tell me what the moderators like and don't like.

People can celebrate what they like. Honestly I don't care if someone wants to celebrate Hitler's or Stalin's or Roosevelt's birthday.

I think space colonization is a very interesting idea, but I am not sure that the costs outweigh the benefits at present. Hopefully, it someday will be profitable, as I find science behind it fascinating. Either way, I believe that space exploration should be done entirely privately, with no government support.

What do you think about those who say space shouldn't be profited of? I know for a fact that some in Farkasfalka or at least on our Discord hold that worldview.

No, the thread is fine here - regions can have a thread in Gameplay, but it's for their news and discussion of that region.

If you want to discuss non-gameplay stuff like space colonisation either use your RMB or post a new thread in General.

That can be said for any shape. We might as well assume the "+" sign to be a swastika. Better remove it from mathematics ASAP :rofl:
Also, I could turn a line in to swastika with that logic, so I should take the sword out of my flag.

Anyways, this thread is FINE, easily readable, and not just a block of seemingly endless text. Aesthetic indeed.

Given Farkasfalka's theme (which is a lot in line with fascism), the similarities to the swastika should not be overlooked.

I honestly will be frank: I strongly dislike Farkasfalka and their beliefs. The bigotry displayed in their discord server and RMB is unacceptable, and I'm aware that Vungar himself holds some deeply troubling beliefs. I consider them, as a region, to be a negative force upon NationStates at large, and I think it'd be a better place were they to be completely destroyed and wiped off this game for good.

That said, this does have a nice format, and it's well-written. It's a shame to see such wasted on Farkasfalka. It's pseudo-professionalism like this that gets them users, and continues to allow their region to function. Though I'm fairly sure that this is at the end just NQ's way of poorly compensating for the complete and utter flop that was the Interregional Axis.
