Because they think that supporting it will win them a high position and a fancy black uniform.


Thank goodness no one I know of likes that sort of political system :p

Violence isn't the answer. It's a question and the answer is yes.

Someday, I shall meet Lian and learn the ways of Chinese martial arts, or die trying. More likely the latter, admittedly.

It was never not alright in the first place.

I don't understand your issue with it. You have a dictator (which I prefer to mix with Technocracy), you have nationalism (the other alternative is anarchy), and you have a military to defend that nation.

How is this bad?

It's not that they don't like Nelson Mandela. I actually kind of agree with what the person is saying, I just don't feel like it's an appropriate place or time.

They tend to shut up in real life, otherwise their career options are quite limited. Of course most online fascists, just like libertarians, are just school kids. And school kids tend to be blunt just for the sake of it.

All that remains is to show that biological systems replicate in such a way as to satisfy the minimal criteria required for evolution to apply to them, something which has already been adequately shown time and again. At this point, we've pretty much proven that not only can evolution happen, it pretty much must happen since it's basically impossible to prevent it from happening.

Well, remember. Nazi Germany and Italia during WWII were bastions of progressive thinking and open-mindedness about differing paradigms.

They were secretly fighting WWII to spread diversity.


It's not even consistent.

I find both nationalism and the need for a load of gits with guns to defend it amusing.

It wouldn't work in the US. The US is supposed to be a giant melting pot of cultures and whatnot. But it is supposed to be nationalist. Nationalism doesn't relate to culture. Many cultures and many races can exist under one nation and still be supportive of it.


Yeah, the fact that we're all different is what unifies us (in theory, anyway). I like the idea but I wish it were more actively practiced in the US.

I'd love libertarianism if it wasn't so vehemently opposed to corporate regulation. Everything else about it seems alright to me.
