The abuse of liberation

Postby Sperio » Fri Mar 23, 2018 3:10 pm

My fellow WA delegates. We need to stop this, ever since the “Liberation” of KASIERICH, people are liberating regions that they don’t agree with. This needs to stop. This is a abuse of the liberation resolutions. What do you think.

I happen to agree with you on that.

However, weaponizing the liberation (while a clever idea) only temporarily prevents the founder-controlled region the ability to password protect their borders. So long as they maintain a strong DG and security administration, with collective fingers on the eject button, they won't miss not having the password.

I think that there’s no practical, tangible difference between Nazis in the NS community and those who moralize while defending Nazi safe-spaces.

Too blunt? Maybe, but you asked.

The original point of liberations was to really shift back the past before the raid even happened, but now, since it is used for proposals like the one you see on the WA, it just gives it a joke-like appearance to many other NSers.

Original purpose of a liberation was to remove the invisible password from raided regions. It later expanded to preventing passwords being put onto regions in general. It isn't an abuse of the liberation function.

Presently they're also being used as condemnations because condemnations have no consequences for them, so why would you just give them a free badge?

I would say there is no "abuse" of Liberations. The "original" Liberations are simply Traditional Liberations, which rely on what are thought to be the fundamentals of the SC. The current trend of Liberations are in Neoliberations, or Neolibs, which aim to not only take reactive action, but preemptive action, similar to a vaccine rather than a treatment.

It is an abuse of liberation proposals. The purpose of a liberation is "to strike down Delegate-imposed barriers to free entry in a region," but now liberations are passing for regions where a password is not in place, nor does there seem to be any intent from the delegate of said-region to impose one. In the current resolution, it is liberating The East Pacific, which is counter-intuitive, because it is a feeder region, and unless I'm mistaken, it is not possible to password-protect a region like this. And yet, somehow, all of these liberation proposals are getting passed by landslide margins!

Fully agree, the liberation is meant to free the regions who've fallen from corruption* or raiding, not damaging rival regions.

*Like, for example, a coup happens.

"Ambassadors, if you have a issue with them, then vote AGAINST them," the Shazite Ambassador said. "Sitting around bitching about it won't change how it works."

The Shazite Ambassador was honestly irritated as these ambassadors would rather complain like schoolchildren than do something proactive.

Yes well the problem with voting is that it is only effective when you hold a majority. That's why we have discussions, to persuade people to our side and have them vote with us so our votes will have an impact. This is pretty simple stuff, I'm surprised you can't understand it.

Isn't there a risk of so many of these 'Liberations' getting into the queue that they'll make it impossible to get Liberations for regions which really need those voted through in time?

Legit so true dude. If they're going to use liberations, at least use it based on the most high-tier raiding nations that take condemnations like compliments, and not on how radical their political structure is.
