I am sure there are things much more fun than trolling libertarians with Hegelian quotes.

But I have not come across them yet.

NSG is truly the /pol/ of Nationstates.

Which reminds me, I need to troll /pol/ to ease my burning hatred for my new company.

Aw man, things slightly different from what you're used to? I know that feeling.

I concur~.

Slightly? Pretty much everything is different.

Also note I'm still in training. It tends to upset people when they go from basic, to a company in AIT that gives you greater freedom, then to a company that takes those freedoms away.

It was a joke about how soldiers will always bitch about changing companies. Not saying you're whining unnecessarily, sorry if it came off that way.

From what I understand Soldiers bitch about everything, from their guns to their rations to their bed to their jobs.

How much of your time in the military was spent bitching?

[Ayreonia]

Can confirm.

How much of your time in the military was spent bitching?

Most of it. My special bitching power was whining about people.

It's a skill we learn in basic.

[Ayreonia]

Dunno how it works in the Murica, but in the FDF training is three-part: basic, specialization and unit training.

In basic training you learn to bitch about conditions: being cold, hot, hungry etc. In Specialization you get to know how to complain about your gear. In unit training you get to bitch about the people you're stuck with.

I swear it used to be super-left-wing, but I guess all the edgelords are moving in everywhere.

Death on the internet tends to be the big reason. If they were lucky they committed suicide by mod in epic fashion.

By your parameters, unit training is integrated in both basic and specialization training. I have quickly learned that shitbags permeate all regions of society.

[Minroz]

Reading things above about soldiers bitching about everything. Sounds a bit rough life for you guys.

By the way, what's like to work in the military if you don't mind me asking?

I'm still inn training, but I can tell you units will be different from each other, depending on the command and NCOs.

It ain't as rough as we like to say. As for what it's like to work in the military, I couldn't tell you, because I never "worked" for them, so to say.

I don't know which sounds worse: the terrorists, or Cruz.

Better than having "I Got You Babe" in there.

I get new issue

Social Equality Reaching Embarrassing Levels
The Issue

Income gaps in Altito Asmoro have become so tiny that the paychecks of Arms Manufacturing CEOs barely surpass that of their secretaries. While some decry this as a sign of the end of days, others hail it as the beginning of something great.
The Debate

"You are effectively killing Altito Asmoro," bemoans Ayn Bland, homespun philosopher and author of the long forgotten novel 'The Fountain Pen'. "Our most prominent minds are barely making more than average second-handers. There is no incentive to work your way up, and if we continue like this I guarantee that productivity will plummet and creativity and ingenuity will be a thing of the past. The government needs to stop forcing businesses to pay their workers such similar wages, cut taxes, and abolish any and all welfare. Only then will our prime movers flourish and the common plebeians put forth their best effort."

"What is this I hear about some citizens making more than others? Everybody is a winner and all must have prizes!" shouts Sophie Leader, obscure anthropologist and author of absurdist children's books. "Every last man and woman should be paid the same amount of Rupiahs. This must be our #1 goal. My studies of the Dodo tribe in East Lebatuck clearly shows that complete equality of outcome promotes and nurtures stability, compassion and harmony within the community. The government needs to make sure that everybody is awarded their exact share of our common riches."

"Equality without direction or purpose is just useless moralism," bluntly states Karl Sparx, a first-year economics student . "For the time being, we should pay people based on their contribution to the social product. The same amount you give to society, the same amount you shall receive in return. It's the only rational way to promote productivity. Yes, my plan will entail less income equality in the short run, but a blissful paradise of abundance and workers' comradery in the Glorious People's Republic of Altito Asmoro once we progress from the lower phases! Oh, did I forget to mention that this is contingent on you nationalizing all industry in the name of the proletariat? Well, yeah, you need to do that."

"Good points, terrible solution," declares Cooper Wu, one of your Bigtopian consultants, a strong proponent of the increasingly popular 'Third Wheel' approach to economic policy. "Some genuine income disparity could really help you promote growth, but you don't want come across all insensitive and harsh. Maybe a way out of this is a little rebranding? Roll back wage regulations and reprioritize funds from welfare and social policy to education and business, while simultaneously stressing that the government values equality of opportunity above outcome. You'll come across as a modern and socially responsible leader, while saving money and stimulating the economy. There, problem solved. As for my fee, should I send you a bill, or do you prefer cash up front?"

"Some people do deserve to be paid more than others..." opines a local bus driver. "We should pay people progressively, based on how important their jobs truly are to the the People's Republic and its citizens. Trust me, a bus driver knows these things; I've seen them all and can tell you what they're really worth. Like bus drivers, for instance. I'm responsible for hundreds of people's lives every day, from downtown New Jakarta across 110th street. Or the people looking after your kids all day, the little old lady making jam for our toasts. Those are the true heroes of Altito Asmoro, and they should be paid accordingly."
