The West won the world not by the superiority of its ideas or values or religion … but rather by its superiority in applying organized violence. Westerners often forget this fact; non-Westerners never do.

I suppose you can go about any business as sheepishly as you wish.

They tend to do their job a bit roughly, but that's not a problem when you're into that kind of thing.

Nice one, Jetan. It's been a while since I last noticed your presence in TET, come to think of it.

It's good to be back. Altough, realistically speaking I'll likely stay mostly confined to TET and the warhammer thread, NSG doesn't really seem to have much interesting going on these days.

Nothing but loud noises and horrible people out there in the ravaged wastelands of NationStates General.

And not much of even that. There's only one (1) thread from today on the first page.

Oh yay it's Friday I almost forgot.

7 rings- Ariana Grande (0/5) [A trap song is not needed from a supposed new queen of pop and R&B]
GIRL- Maren Morris (2.5/5) [Not sure how I feel about this pop "country" track]
Keanu Reeves- Logic (3/5) [Decent track but Logic needs to stop mentioning he's biracial and that he's the 1-800 guy]
Face My Fears- Hikaru Utada/Skrillex (1.5/5) [WTF was that drop and awful production in the chorus Skrillex?]
Pure Water- Mustard/Migos (0/5) [Oh great, a mix of 2014 DJ Mustard beat and Taste by Tyga with all of the Migos. Also fuck that squealing]
Almost (Sweet Music)- Hozier (3/5) [This man will always be a one-hit wonder known only for Take Me To Church]
Faceshot- Future (2/5) [Bit of a banger like No Limit from last year, but my God that sound in the back of the beat is terrible, and there's no guests like Cardi B]
First Off- Future/Travis Scott (1/5) [This is a less energetic and more boring SICKO MODE. The Swae Lee uncredited vocals screaming in the back don't help allude that fact, and no Drake or Tay Keith beat???]
Learn To Live- Alice Merton (5/5) [This feels like Lash Out 2.0, except a little bit better and being less reliant on her scratchy, upper register]
Floss In The bank- Tyga (1/5) [better than most of his work but trying to remake Taste a billion times does not make you any more interesting, it makes you look generic and repetitive. Also, you did not just name drop the Harlem Shake.]

Thank the megathreads for that, it's how NationStates General remains relatively organized. Gone are the days that current events generated about a dozen odd threads while they were still unfolding.

Too much is happening nowadays.

I long for the days where the government swept everything under the rug, rather than tweeting about it.

It's ever since they installed that moderation AI. Naturally it concluded that the most logically efficient structure to avoid offences was to gradually consolidate the forum down to one thread and one poster.

Unfortunately the culling process is taking longer than expected. It's a work in progress which moves in mysterious ways.
