Quotes of People in Your Nation Mk. VI

[Blakullar]

"In this world of continent-spanning superpowers, democracy is fundamentally no longer a practical option. How does one accurately represent a billion people, most of whom will never walk into the halls of your parliament building to profess their wishes in person, while curbing influence from external forces?"

~ General Elena Trotskaya.

[The Merchant Republics]

"I'm sometimes asked by recent immigrants: 'how exactly does your government work' it's a subject of great confusion especially for those that are used to more... Control, the answer is simple though. It doesn't and that's it's purpose. It's sole purpose is to provide the illusion of control to those who need it. Look at me, what do I do in this chair? I look over a beautiful city that runs entirely without my interference. Sparingly giving a speech about how well we've done with the annual tribute and or how nice it was we all came together and saved money for the parks. We haven't passed a single law in my 30 years of service, yet it all runs perfectly. Effortlessly. That's the Mercatorum way."
~Chairman Gregoire Vincent Lupe, of the Metivan Republic


"Some countries celebrate that every child born could one day become their president if they tried, the Mercatorum don't... Frankly, we pray for better."
- Richard Lefray, Satirist

[The New Russo-Serbian Conglomerate]

"I can neither confirm nor deny any bioweapons testing against our own citizens and environment. Yes, we have been testing. No, we have not been using them upon the populace."
-Prime Minister Leonid Škoda, press conference

"Trust me on this when I say that the RNF Moscovich is the MOST ADVANCED cruiser of her kind, and can put a stop to any hostile naval threats.
-Admiral Maleshenko on the new vessel in the Russerb Naval Fleet.

"In other news, a nationwide emergency drill will be held next week to simulate the potential of nuclear war. Citizens are to head to their nearest fallout shelter to help fortify the structure, fill it with necessities, and decorate it to make them feel more homely."
-Nataliya Draugnova, head anchorwoman for the WRSB national news station

"Best prices this side of the Confederacy, I guarantee it.
-food vendor

[Ashkera]

"The success of Anarcho-Capitalism as a system for human beings and not amoral wealth-maximizers depends on certain axioms being true. Those axioms are not true."
- technocrat

"I don't think you quite understand. The Cooperative Technocratic State, legally speaking, owns all land in Ashkera. What the citizens have are licenses. Thus, by your own rules, our taxes are morally acceptable. If you don't like it, you're quite free to sell your license and leave."
- customer service representative, arguing on phone

[Greater Mackonia]

"The thing I dislike about Libertarianism, Randism and Anarcho-Capitalism - what I like to call the 'Soft Egoists', are the contradictions I can't decide are hypocrisies or just plain naivety. You have come to the conclusions you don't owe anybody jack shit and feel proud about it - well done, so why is it even remotely wrong for the government pursuing its rational self-interest to simply steal your gold and nationalise your oil wells and threaten your family with assassination if you don't comply? Do they owe anybody jack shit? Are they not pursuing their perfectly valid self-interest? At this point they will jump up and down talking about "The Non-Aggression Principle", and why should I concern myself with this principle? Is it not just as arbitrary as the altruism of the moochers and parasites they so despise? Is this not really simply the collectivism of the market? Egoism is a dread and terrible law to be faced with undaunted stoicism, we cannot pansy about with these half-measures."

-Tseila Kathangi

[Bereia]

"Necessity. Always they plead necessity to justify curbing the liberties of the people."

-- Julissa Hickman, Citizen.

[Technocratic China]

"This isn't your land, Tao. This is the people's. Twelve years ago, this land was moistened with the blood of millions of China's best men and women, and the 'blood' of billions of alien invaders. It was then irradiated in nuclear fire. I care not your claim to the land, I don't see what you want to do with it anyway. But it matters not. This claim of 710 square kilometers has been denied, and if I were you, I wouldn't pull a stunt like that again."

-Colonel Kim Ho, to Tao Weijin, a crook who claimed to own a western territory the size of Singapore

[Blakullar]

"A man who barely earns enough to feed his family on a daily basis has no purpose for freedom of speech. Nor does the woman who dares not wander the city streets, for fear of subjection to the depravities of a rape gang, see any use in posting a slip of paper into the ballot box. For these reasons alone, the security of wider society must be considered of far greater importance than the indulgences of personal freedom, or else misery for all."

~ General Elena Trotskaya.

[Bereia]

"The state is a means to an end, a tool. It has no interest other than the job for which it was created. Individual people are ends in themselves, with self-focused interests and goals of their own."

-- Julissa Hickman, Citizen.

[Aufwachen]

"We open the infinite gates to a New Aryan Age... to a New Aryan Future. Forever. For all.

Sieg."

[Themiclesia]

"The flag of Themiclesia, from time immemorial, bears a stylized phoenix in blue on a white field. The phoenix is Themiclesia's national bird, and, while not possessing the power of regeneration as in some other cultural lores, is an immortal bird and the monarch of the avians. The values represented by the phoenix are virtue, rectitude, regal power, and enlightenment; in ancient Themiclesia, it is said that the phoenix appears wherever a virtuous ruler governs and illuminates and blesses the land with its magnificent sight. Its coat is said to be of countless feathers of all colours, and its full height over the size of an adult human being. Its song is the most beautiful melody. The blue represents the wealth of the land, as blue dye was very expensive, and the white represents the clear sky through which the phoenix flies."

"The prevalence of entities with populations exhibited only by Tier 4 nations normally regarded as superpowers as well as military size and technology level also exhibited only by such in a normal international political environment in DHQ-651 has suggested that a potential case of DHQ-033, 'User Ego', having a heavy presence throughout 651 as contradictory to previous deductions based on existence of other confluence components in 651."

[Zhouran]

"The political spectrum no longer matters in this day and age. You've got people saying they're leftist or right-wing or even centrist, but it's basically comparable to identity politics, which, along with political correctness and SJWs, is what is killing the West.

Being a Kunbangist, the left would bitch about how I'm a 'racist, misogynistic, ableist, cis-gendered male bigot' while the other side would whine about me being a 'degenerate socialist shill'. Both sides deserve equal punishment."

"Sometimes, leaders have to enforce a level of discipline and authority over the people. Too much freedom and you end up like the US, not enough freedom and you end up like North Korea. If benevolent enough, you'll receive the respect of your people."

- Senior Marshal Kang Yingyong

[Blakullar]

"It is a small complaint to be bringing up, but am I the only one who has been noticing the rather frequent alterations of the Zhouranese multiversal pocket? They have changed from the designation labelled 'MT', to 'FT', to 'PMT' and back again, all in the space of a year... It makes me wonder how such an unstable universe can keep from collapsing upon itself with the sheer magnitude of its fluctuations..."

"We don't use labels like identity politics followers. Also, there's one canon universe and numerous alternate multiverses, some of which are basically the same as the other but with minor differences."

"All I know about Zhouran is that Tsuneko Nagi...or Zorilla...would be considered some sell-out whore there, then again she has her Mother's Uyoku dantai family to remind her that. Then again- AGAIN, it doesn't really matter what continent or existence she's in as she is very clearly not normal. It's natural that little detail would attract a (psycho) psychologist eager to live a life with a willing lab rat."

"The study of psychology in it's most objective possible way is differentiating anomalies and finding out discrepancies between input and output. And in general terms explaining both common and uncommon conditions as a result.

But if my Mother had a bad learning or knowing on certain things, this will go to me? Without psychoanalysis? How do you explain learning? How can that explain dysfunctions?

Methodological behavioral modification is as much a 'therapy' as much as it is a study if it can be measurable. We just have to find correct stimuli and reinforcement methods. But be warned, I am not a therapist in my home country and I do not buy into that psychoanalysis peddling. "

"OBAVEŠTENJE, DRŽAVLJANIN!

By the use of arbitrarily created labels by Tier 4 nations such as 'MT', 'PMT', 'FT' and the such, you are creating active MEMETIC HAZARDS with potential ECTOENTROPIC PROPERTIES!

The use of the Tier system as stipulated by Querrian, Forerunner, Eastern Hegemonic or Excidian standards is MANDATORY!"

"As it's widely known only the South and some Gulf areas pump out fossil fuels for Las Palmeras and the rest has to be imported. The same can be said of the Second Fuel.

Las Palmeras makes 30,000 tonnes of wine on it's own but the climate isn't ideal in most areas to produce it. As a result some 100,000 metric tons of it are imported annually and were one of the few things that didn't get hit by recession since 2007-2008."

[Imperial Paleoworld Germania]

"How does one overcome the numerical advantage the Soviets enjoy? Simple, supply the Amurians in the least and let them know that you support them in their desires to exact vengeance for the dead Romanovs and unite Russia once more under the Tsars. While the Soviets push into Eastern Europe, they also have to defend against Amuria as they advance into Siberia and would have to send troops to both fronts. That, thereby, helps mitigate the vast population advantage the Reds possess in some way which should allow for Western Christian civilization to triumph over the barbarous Bolsheviks.
~ Ulrich von Hassell, diplomat, on the forging of close ties between Germany and Amuria, 1926

"From the moment you are born until the day you die you are reminded constantly of something when you are not born of the blood. You do not matter, you are insignificant, period." - Ivan Surovov, Peasant

[Greater Mackonia]

<sub>"The political spectrum is undergoing its centennial re-alignment. That invisible point in an age where suddenly and quietly what had hitherto been on the ascent is deemed declining and the formerly degenerate gains ascendancy. What is commonly called Liberalism, Progressivism - Social Humanism whatever you want to call it, has maximised its potential, it is now the dominant ideological status quo, this can be evidenced by the fact that there is a interesting trend emerging in the West where it is seen as a fundamental moral failing, rather than an intellectual disagreement, to be conservative. Well, I should say a conservative of the cartoonish right-wing fundamentalist variety,because the logical results of this process is that Leftism is now conservative. By this it is meant that the doctrines, values and assumptions of Social-Humanism are today accepted by many of their adherents as articles of faith rather than the conclusions of inquiry, and that mainstream culture treats them as the standards of truth. This is both a cause of celebration and mourning as in achieving its victory every idea thenceforth begins its decline.

The sort of conservatism liberalism triumphed against, patriotic, usually religious, is practically extinct in everywhere but the liberal imagination. Libertarianism has ceased to be conservatism and is now best treated as reactionary. The victors make history but it is the loosers who write it, it is no surprise that communism owed a great deal of itself to quasi-feudal romanticism, that fascism - the most credibly revolutionary ideology of the 20th century whose ideas have been more successful than would be believed, was inspired largely by the defeated nobility of the French revolution. In ideological exile the reactionaries question both themselves, and as the revolutionaries become the new establishment, the reactionaries are suddenly the most able to clearly see its flaws - and as they mutate with the conditions of the age they gradually become a distinctly new ideological identity. The new ideology which will combat Social-Humanism, is slowly beginning to take shape today, its final form and self-consciousness is yet obscured, Agonocracy is most likely far too radical and fundamentally contrary to human biological norms, but this new thought will resemble it in a more moderate form insofar as that it will seek to reconcile the libertarianism of the past with a new authoritarianism. In economics this takes the form of Sino-Russian state capitalism.

As Social-Humanism becomes unreflective and ever more weary of criticism it will become alienated from the populace, a perception of an isolated urban elite controlling politics is already present in most western democracies, and the idiocy of concepts like Universal Human Rights, International Law and Pure Egalitarianism are already grasped by most but unarticulated. This will feed the rise of a third party; charismatic populists, usually running on a vaguely right-wing ticket but at heart un-ideological. Liberalism will be unable to respond to this traditionalist and outright amoral rhetoric, for should it embrace it the core metropolitan power-base would be enraged, thus leaving Social-Humanism in an electoral situation ironically reminiscent of the old religious right, barred from full success by the opinions which keep them relevant in securing the core voter-base. As these populists begin to actually gain office - they will, of course, be absolutely clueless, the civil service and other technocratic bodies will slowly attempt to assert themselves over democratic leaders, many liberals will now be covertly or openly questioning the validity of democracy, and with it their entire credo - hence defecting to the New Ideology.

Thus Social-Humanism at last dies, the new political arena will be inherently elitist, a battle between narcissistic demagogues riding off the blind crowds and a meritocratic oligarchy increasingly loathsome of democracy. But both sides will be the same, in the same way all the political factions of Social-Humanism from Rothbardians to Marxists were the same in their basis in Moral Unniversalism and Egalitarian Democracy, they will both be motivated by some kind of subjective teleological consequentialism, egoistic as it concerns itself only with the interests of the deciding entity - both will thus be elitistic. So in that sense Agonocracy will win, not that any kind of Agonocratic movement comes to power in The West, but that the future politics of the West will be defined in the terms and assumptions of Agonocracy. The only thing the Movement can do and all it must concern itself with is demolishing the taboos imposed by the humanist narrative on politics and thus pave the way for this future."</sub>

[Cumberlanda]

"We have no ideology, we are a bunch of hypocrites. We are not one nation, we are five that constantly bitch at each other, but are too cowardly to divide. That is what your media says, I suppose. In a sense they are right. A man from Watau'gah finds the elitists of Vetimus to be monsters, and the steelworker in Azulonia finds the Loregan coal miner to be backwards. I suppose we are divided in most senses. But we are not united out of cowardice. We are not united as a mere formality. We are united by a deeper bond. See, we are all different, but we are all Cumberlandians. It's a language, a culture, a rite amongst ourselves. I know it sounds odd, but that's just how it is. And despite the vast difference between the people, by that regard we are ready and prepared."

-Thomas Linmore, arms manufacturer, to an Ashkeran arms manufacturer

[Zhouran]

"Politics of today has been fucked over real hard by the younger generation, however the blame shouldn't just be us millennials, but also those pesky baby boomers who have basically ruined it for everyone. They fucked us even before we were born, and now they blame us for a majority of issues like having no job or doing shit that differs from what they did back then.

Not only that, they'll hate us for even becoming political at a young age. They fucked up, it's their issue now. Zhouran and the entire world should do the same as the Japanese and simply stop reproducing for half a decade so that the boomers can bitch about the nation having a low birth rate and a declining population."

"National Socialism and Communism are basically two heads on the same body. One side will whine about the other being racist and oppressive while the other about how a centrally-planned economy and a world under a dictatorship of the proletariats won't work due to the low quality of human nature. Communism says that it fights for the people and those oppressed against a group of greedy oligarchs while National Socialism fights for the defense of the nation and glorification of one's race. They're both correct but they're both awful, not because of their principles, but because of their followers.

The modern-day communists are nothing like the communists back when Lenin was rising through power. They all claim to fight for equality and tolerance, yet they shit on those who's opinions and beliefs differ from them, while also targeting culture, religion, and basically anything they hate. In fact, they aren't even communists, rather they're part of the so-called 'regressive left', which is basically made up of social just warriors, female supremacists who call themselves feminist while harboring anti-white and anti-male views, and the anti-theists who call themselves 'logical' atheists and 'pro-science' and yet they, like the religious fundamentalists, have a literal interpretation of religion and believe in pseudo-science garbage such as 'all race is the same'.

On the other side, the neo-nazis are equally just as bad. These skinheads like to chant out "we must secure the existence of our people and a future for white children", while at the same time believing in the concept of a pure Aryan person. Ironically, these people live a poor lifestyle and engage in activities such as drinking alcohol and placing a lot of tattoos on their body. Also, a lot of the neo-nazis look like they come from the weakest stock of their own race, and would likely be labelled 'subhuman' by the Third Reich itself.

Both sides have an idol that followers glorify to. For the nazis, you have Hitler, who they praise as if he was a god or something, while the communists love Lenin a lot. For the nazis, shouldn't they be praising their nation, culture, identity and the nature of their homeland rather than simply their race or some megalomaniac who fucked his nation so hard that it became a modern-day shithole? Meanwhile, for the communists, they probably should stop glorifying a man who overthrew an autocrat and instead should be praising the proletarian that they preach a lot about. Also, the communists should be focusing on economic issues and not stupid social issues such as identity politics, sexuality, personal feelings, gender, and religion. Why not try and establish the revolution they wanted so badly rather than occupying some street in New York or bend over for the democratic system because their favorite candidate is some old-timer geezer and not a young person they keep dreaming about?

_{"People die
And People cry
When planes get shot out of the sky
And people say that I should care
They say that I should pay my share
But is it really such a loss?
If I don't really give a toss?
I've got the wits I've got the luck
So frankly I don't give a fuck."}
