How far would you go for your values?

[Eragon Island]

If it protected my people in a way, yes. We don't give a flying turd of you, we only care about us. My people would happily kill you for no other reason if we want a ship load of supplies. So, yes, we would annihilate you to protect ourselves from you or any retaliations. The question isn't if we WOULD kill, the question is how.

The answer to that question depends on the situation. If we were fighting a PT or MT nation, we would go no holds bar, completely ignore our own safety, and steamroll. If the were FT or others, we would try a more diplomatic solution, but, failing that (Which is much more common), we would attempt safer fighting, aware of our small fleet.

This breaks the question down further to whether we would COMPLETLY annihilate your entire existence, or leave some left. This depends on your ideologies, religion, and form of government. But, without consideration, expect the utter annihilation of any nation that preforms cruel or unusual practices, or is Capitalists. Damn Capitalists.

Why do I even need a world in which my values are destroyed and have no chance to rise?

Radical surgery is better than eternal aching pain.

Well, I'm a pacifist, so I wouldn't kill anyone, and I would likely just stay out of the conflict entirely as millions of people are gonna die either way, so what can I do?

I would try to resolve things diplomatically, and save lives where I could.

I would engage in ruthless cyberbullying like calling people dumb if they disagree with me.

Do a bit of trolling in the name of your values.

Um, I don't know, kill and die for em? I dunno. Maybe I wouldn't if the artillery shelling was just that hard to cope with. Or maybe I'd become a weird sort of zealot as a result.
This isn't a question one can answer in a vacuum, it really is the sort of thing that answers itself in-becoming. You know, actualy really being faced with the real question of what you're willing to do for ones values. Back against the wall shit.
Also I would never pull the lever, because contrarianism is the highest moral good.

I would love to (but also hesitate to) shut down social media, the appealing butcherer of society, even if it includes NationStates (I think). (Besides, I can always continue worldbuilding Nyoskova on Google Docs.) Sure, there are good people, like there are in real life, but also, like in real life, there are issues, and I ask you: Should we have problems with digital rec-rooms when digital rec-rooms didn’t necessarily have to exist in the first place?

Also, if I could somehow hijack screens like the Riddler in The Batman (2022), I would shame the devil out of neglectful parents and guardians and domestic abusers. You can call me edgy, but I believe that this is another serious issue that I believe is not being cracked down on enough, and I have expressed how unsatisfied I am about it. Maybe I’ll update this post when I come up with a better idea.

Honestly, though, the farthest I can go for my values is being sensitive about the environment and continuing to restrain myself from using Discord (since 2022) and Reddit (since c. 2020) ever again.

(I, for some reason, feel like I am going to get banned again for this. If I get banned permanently, it’s been fun, and, to be honest, wasteful, posting here.)
