"I think it would be nice to see how the Egalite like it if their deeply held politico-philosophical outlook on life was reduced to just a misguided reaction to 'muh economic forces' by crude pop-sociology.

Dude, this wave of angry egalitarian populism personified by ignorant, anti-intellectual bigots like Jeremy Corbyn is just the angry cries of a dying medium-IQ white upper-middle class who can't handle the rise of a hyper-competitive economy and the startling economic growth neoliberalism has brought to the west combined with the technologically fuelled increases in productivity, empirical policymaking and looming artificial intelligence which will render their role in the economy as, fundamentally, meatbag information processors, pretty meaningless. Jeremy Corbyn and Barack Obama are just opportunists riding this ignorant backlash for narcissistic pleasure. Don't worry, this is just a temporary blip on the road to progress. Soon they'll breed themselves out of existence."

-Zilkas Soekthar-Mesok

[Korvir and Poviss]

[Comrade Commisar]

"I have committed atrocities, yes. I have ordered out the carrying out of genocides, the endless destruction of enemy assets, and the deaths of millions at my hands. No, I don't sleep at nights, but that is more because of the caffine and work, rather than any moral guilt upon my behalf. My actions took place during a type of war, when the complete capitulation of our enemies was necessary. It is no more of a war crime than your use of atomic weapons, South Lander, and unlike you, my atrocities have not carried on over into peacetime. Don't act so dignified; your hands are just as bloodied as mine."

-- Vice Admiral Norman Walker, addressing accusations of his alleged war crimes from a representative of the South Lands.

[Yugoslav Memes]

"The thing with any of those 'devolved confederal superstates' on their membership, and expansion of it, is essentially a great scam. Words such as 'greatness' and 'prosperity' easily seduce states into these scams, and the fact that they have double digit membership numbers arouse concern over the actual competence of states - not just today, but overall in the past two centuries when these states had rose."
-Philip Pines, still in space

[Gann De Alba]

"A small collection of like minded people generate much more than one person's dream, a family. A group of multi-cultured individuals assimilating for a goal much bigger than themselves, a company or religion. A person that represents what the general people wanted, but never accomplished what was needed, the common side affect of a republic."

Thomas Bennet, a high school social studies teacher

[Even Less of Mackonia]

"Mackonia has blended the economic ideas of the far-left with its own elitist value system to create a targeted welfare state. Those with an IQ over 140 are entitled to a generous guaranteed income provided by the state, gifted education programs have budgets which could consume several African nations and many western welfare expenditures, females with particularly desirable genetics are offered packages of benefits to withdraw from education and employment and become baby-machines with a pool of state-approved breeding partners from their late teens - with quotas typically in the double digits. And of course there is the ultimate prize for the most ambitious and intelligent of being crowned a member of the Seventh Sector and set off into the world with the liberty to mould society in your own image.

The upper classes in Mackonia thus live long, healthy, wealthy lives paying very few taxes yet receiving ample benefits from world-class education and a technologically advanced society. And what of those left behind? Originally the lower classes in Mackonia were very supportive of the ideal of Meritocracy, but three generations in and it has done them more harm than good as their best are sucked into the elite to whom the nation is dedicated. So what do they have? ''Euthanasia Booths and National Service'' in the words of Premier Mythurin."

-Rowena Prince, writer, New London Statesman
