Quotes of People in Your Nation Mk. VI

[Greater Mackonia]

"I find myself always drawn more towards the caricatures of politicians than the public images they like to purport. Tony Blair for example, as a person, is slightly lower on the hierarchy of existential worth than species of mould, but when he's described as a power-mad amoral lunatic...I warm to him. Likewise I could not give a toss about Thatcher's cherished childhood memories of methodist thrift, on the other hand nothing made me admire her more than Spitting Image. I am drawn intrinsically to the lunatic, grasping and megalomaniac in leaders, and I would bet most are, its the role of the leader, to sanctify the emotions we are otherwise taught to despise by using them for the public good. Contrarily I am inherently repulsed by the language of social responsibility, of the cult of victimhood, the self-righteous screeching fundamentalist and whiney student activist. Give me Hitler over a nurse any day."

-Marius Black.

[Christian Dominion of the Levant]

“The NATO dogs are not ‘Christians’. They are heretics; traitors! All of them will see their errors in following the flaws of the Vatican!”

---

— Master Josu T. Balli, before the Invasion of Europe from the Abrahamic Coalition forces (The Christian Dominion of the West and the Levant, the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria, the Jewish Zealotry of Jerusalem, and Baha'i irregular militias).

[Auzkhia]

"Karl Marx was a drama queen."
-Heinrich Erdély

[Greater Mackonia]

"No this is not a matter of 'humanitarianism', this is a matter of exterminating subhumans. It is blindly idiotic to wage wars with the pretense that you are helping people. Mr General-Secretary as you well know I am no friend to this assembly nor do I pretend to be. But the gentlemen over here have failed, they know they have elections to loose, I do not. Grant me the blessings of your 'international law' and girls be will going to school in Raaqa by spring."

-Premier Lithastir Mythurin.

[Las Palmeras]

"What? You're not from-

I don't like texting, stockings, small things and small apartments, the color pink, or that v-sign while I shyly giggle. I'm from Las Palmeras, I like the color red and live in a spacey but grey apartment, I love arguing for petty things and I'll love strong wine in the future when I become some nag. You will ride my father's ugly sedan."
-Magda Zorilla's first date, in the US

[Barboneia]

"I, too, enjoy pissing matches."-Officer Dennis Cromwell.

[Bereia]

"New Haven does not hire for diversity. We don't even have a "Diversity Policy," whatever the Hell that is. Instead, we seek to hire people who have talent, skill, experience, commitment, and humility. What we find is that when we hire on that basis, we end up with a diverse workplace more or less incidentally, and one which is highly effective."

-- Reagan Schaeffer, Founder & CEO, New Haven Motors.

[Ashkera]

"The government puts an additional penalty on gangs for 'lack of ethnic diversity'. I am not even kidding. I think the idea was to prevent even more ethnic strife, but I have no idea on if it actually made any difference or not."
- citizen, enjoying a coffee

[Singaporean Transhumans]

"Comrades! It has been fucking obvious that today we are going to quickscope all the UU muddafuggas in this city called 'Advisoropolis'! The Ashkerans are going to assist us alongside the Andromedian droid army, but I'm not even f**king sure whether they are coming or not. What is this 'Advisoropolis' you say? Well I be damned! IT IS OBVIOUSLY A CITY OF COMBINE ADVISORS! ARE YOU ILLITERATE? Anyway, what is the strategic importance of this attack on Advisoropolis? Well, it's pretty obvious that all of the Combine Advisors are gathering in this city dating and dancing, this strike will be aimed at KILLING THEM ALL and thus we will FUCKING DESTROY THE UNIVERSAL UNION CHAIN OF COMMAND. We will also detonate the citadel-esque structures that plague this beautiful (read: desolate inhospitable) planet to severe the UU's connections with their colonies. Anyway, Advisoropolis is a big city of strategic importance just by the name. Any questions, comrades?"

-Colonel Lukas 'Carabao' Cayetano, of the 683rd Guards Division 'Cebuano', to the entire division before the battle of Advisoropolis.

"It's your turn now to try out the portal, Howard."

"Where does this thing lead to, again?"

"Hell. Don't worry, you'll be perfectly fine, I'm sure. I mean, 43.2% survival odds are quite good for someone in your position."

"...Gee, thanks."-A portal researcher and his assistant, somewhere in Central Barboneia.

"You donated generously, I appreciate that, my hospitals appreciate that. My doctors appreciate that. You noticing a theme here yet, you stupid fuck? You don't decide a goddamn thing here or at any hospital I or my company owns, I don't give a goddamn how much of your precious money you give to us. I decide who works for me, I decide who works for Lazarus, I decide, you noticing that theme again yet? This is not an industry, it is not a business, leave before I fucking kill you." - Cornelius A. Maximilian, dealing with a benefactor to Lazarus Pharmaceuticals, 2005

[Allancia]

"Come summer, 1638. The Allancian invasion of China goes sour and horribly wrong, with almost four-hundred thousand soldiers dying in the beginning of the offensive. Come spring, 1642. The Allancian invasion of Mandor is almost immediately stopped when an ambush on Allancian soldiers is carried out and the war ends almost immediately. Come summer, 1792. The Allancian invasion of Alaska is ended when an early winter begins, and our troops freeze in their boots while the native American groups pick them off as convenient. Come spring, 1885. The Allancian invasion of the Mughal Empire, already on its last legs, is stopped by an internal revolution that leaves the army scattered and in disarray, with the Mughals actually claiming Allancian territory in Siberia with the war raging.
Now, let's look at things after this point.
Come summer, 1889. The Allancian Red Army raids the Mongolian mountains, taking the Chinese by surprise and almost totally obliterating their industrial base in the north. The entire nation, one of the most powerful in the world and the superior of Allancian in almost every way would be under Reich control by the end of the next century. Come spring, 1905. The Allancian invasion of Mandor claims for the first time almost the entirety of the Arabian peninsula and large portions of Persia, which are taken apart and annexed over the next forty years. Come autumn, 1912. The Allancian invasion of Alaska gains massive amounts of territory, with the newly invented Automatisch Maxime Spreize causing four thousand native Americans to die in the war and forcing them to cede the entire area to Battenburg. With the industrial revolution underway, the Allancian economy booms with the introduction of oil and gold into the resource pool. Come winter, 1926. A famine in India coupled with a cotton shortage in Allancia spurs an invasion, with the whole region being brought under Allancian control within fifteen years. Come summer, 1952. A rocket is launched into the sky, and the last obstacle to Allancian national and imperial supremacy is annihilated.
Sputnik I is put in orbit and stays there for several weeks. Allancian control over space is consolidated."

[Gigaverse]

"By 2034, the position of 'Director' had become largely divorced from the actual direction of the work. A director was someone who was hired to embody the ideals of the project or studio in an exaggerated and passionate way. Most infamously, Soichiro, a director for Ashkerimation, attempted to, and nearly succeeded in, launching a coup against the corrupt government of a tiny, underdeveloped foreign country. He was then arrested by Ashkeran operatives, and the show the studio had been working on was reclassified as banned information by the government. The entire incident was considered a national disgrace. The second collapse of the Ashkeran film industry several years later would seem obvious in retrospect.

About twelve years were then spent making bog-standard films and animation which were utterly indistinguishable from foreign tripe. It wasn't until after the war, when the Oversight Council returned to power amid the ruins of a battered and bloody Ashkera, that people began to look back with nostalgia at what was then a uniquely Ashkeran identity. The trauma of war left our people in desire of cultural roots. And so it began again, but somewhat calmer this time."
- professor of film history

"I'm just curious about the country where the coup in question occurred."
- Patriarcha Cardius

[Greater Mackonia]

"If you hire someone solely on the grounds of being black, or female, or a cat for that matter; that makes you a racist, or sexist. You are relegating their individual talents to second place in favour of some utterly arbitrary and meaningless biological condition, whether that is done in a positive or negative light is irrelevant. You have defined an individual by his race and that makes you irrational filth. The true way to achieve the only equality we want lies in combatting irrational prejudice, yes, and then allowing those prejudiced against to rise-as individuals, not faceless mascots of a "diversity" campaign, and show the racists the idiocy of their ways. Thatcher and Indira Ghandi never needed feminism."

-Tseila Kathangi, Essayist and Fraudster.

"When you claim something as terrible as war can be waged from 'human decency', of course the folks back home are going to get tired. You call it 'human decency', they call it Islam, you say 'Axis of Evil' they say 'Dar-el-harb', as far as I'm concerned you're separated by naught but the colours of thy flags. You know what 'Islam' means? Submission, and that's just what you preach as well, submission to democracy, to mass opinion, to the highest viewing figures and the greatest possible number, submission to a code of morality which states you should love yourself only so much as it helps your neighbour. That's not the society I've sent men to die here for today, we shall build a society where men are free from Gods and Kings, where man can find a meaning beyond food courts and auto-fairs."

-Conversation somewhere in Eastern Syria.
