How dare people you disagree with come on and use a completely open and free platform? Truly unacceptable!

Seriously, so what if there are 'too many'? What you do and don't agree with does not determine who gets to use NationStates. Anyone can come on here, and not all of them will agree with you. From your post I gather you are inclined to make generalizations of quite large groups, and use that to judge the entire group. This is quite silly, and your entire post is absolutely hilarious because of this. Not all conservatives are like that, indeed plenty aren't. Anyone can make use of 'scare tactics', and it would be downright foolish to say that only one side of the political spectrum actually uses them. People on both sides do.

In fact, what you seem to want is for NS to become a giant echo chamber. There are indeed extreme views on NS, and I personally disagree with the extremes to both the right and left, but that doesn't mean I don't want them around. In a public forum like this it's always best to have many different ideas and opinions, and this is especially the case with NS. NS is all about political discussions and ideas, so naturally there needs to be plenty of people on every side of the discussion.

To conclude, no there are not ''too many conservatives on Nation States.'' There are not too many fascists, or too many of anything. This is a free to use, public forum about political ideas and discussions and anyone who wants can use it, and - this may surprise you - sometimes they don't agree with you. Your idea of what is good or bad, sane or insane, and right and wrong does not get to determine who can use the platform.

Does this data take into account the number of nations people play for novelty value and not as some sort of personality test? One of my former nations was essentially a psychotic police state and that is certainly not the sort of thing I would vote for.


One of my alts was an oppressive theocracy when that sort of thing is among the list of things I despise above all else. Another nation I always deliberately picked what I thought to be the worst option. It's motto even said that. "Always pick the worst option."

By what measure? I'd like to see your numbers. Especially since you're claiming this "huge percentage" is present "everywhere else".

So let's see your numbers and empirical data.

There are plenty of libertarians(as there are everywhere else on the Internet), it's just that most of them don't identify as being right wing.
We do need more traditionalists, center-rightists, non-insane paleoconservatives and facsists, etc. As it is, our center-rightists come and go so fast it's dizzying, our paleoconservatives and facsists are insane and can't stay civil enough to avoid getting deated, and most of our traditionalists don't know agrarianism from industrialization.

We need more liberals like the webstie GameFAQs the majority were liberal and the majority are liberal on YouTube as well.

While the world moves on, the conservatives cling on to their old ways and "traditional values" that sometimes involve discrimination like when liberals wanted interacial marriage to be legal and desegregation in the 1960s in the U.S. etc. And now they discriminate against gay people now. But thanks to good progressive liberal progress, gay marriage passed. We live in a enlightened modern society, but i bet throughout
history, conservatives of their times have said "girls dressing like boys, boys dressing like girls, what is the world coming to?" (except with issues
of their own time of course) etc.
They have always fear-mongered, that is one of the conservative fear tactics is to scare people and make people afraid of change and it's going to be the "apocalypse if that happens" instead of embracing change like the rest of the world, but those old men die and the world keeps spinning.
