The Right Wing Discussion Thread
Part IX
The Right Man's Burden



Image

"Here I stand. I can do no other. God help me. Amen. " - Martin Luther


The dynastic cycle has taken place, taking on the mandate of heaven we have have claimed legitimacy for ourselves in the endeavour to establish peace and harmony over these lands. A place to erect walls to keep the uncivilised out, ever growing and living walls to which only helicopters can scale. A place where the new and old collide as we seek the Faustian spirit to embrace the past and build for the future, or if we feel like it simply manifest destiny over those whom do not have our shiny guns.

Welcome all to the Right-Wing Discussion Thread (RWDT), a place where we discuss all matters appertaining to the right wing-spirit. This is the ninth instalment of the thread making it one of NS's most beloved and controversial spots to pull engage in deep discussions, at times debates, bantz ect. We ask the users to go by a dual-principle of being lenient towards the topic, but also understanding if things really get too off-topic and if necessary correct themselves.

Suggestions for improvements, changes, or additions is as always welcome.

Relevant subjects for discussion include:

  • The politics, philosophies, and ideologies of the right.
  • Right-wing perspectives on economics and political economy.
  • News and history relevant to the political Right.
  • Right-wing responses to current events.
  • Right-wing perspectives on social and economic problems.
  • Political, social, cultural, and economic problems and their solutions according to the political Right.
  • The problems facing particular Right-wing movements or the political right in general, and how to resolve them.

my question still stands.

The mere fact that i pissed someone off either means i stood for something or i said something offensive.

I daresay that this is the greatest right-wing Revolution/Coup/Uprising to ever occur. This should have been on the previous poll, tbh.

"Autumn Of Nations". Close enough.

What exactly are your political beliefs?

My nation reflects my political views so you can just read that if you want. But I'll try writing up my ideas and summarizing them here.

Well first of all I'd say I reject democracy, giving a plato style critique. I think the state should be run by intellectuals trained in the academy, with an emphasis on philosophy and maybe literary classics. I think the best government would be an autocracy, but probably a non-hereditary one.

Economically, I think I'm very left wing. I'd probably support a highly regulated economy, at the very least, and I would also go as far as advocating a sort of democratic socialism. I'm also a very big environmentalist, and I think even any concern about economic viability can't compare to the importance of helping the environment.

I guess besides that, I'll try to list social issues

Abortion: Against
Gay marriage: For
Immigration: Against
Drug decriminalization: For
Gun laws: Neutral I guess
I like telegrams

If we do end up getting into a situation where new iterations are being posted ever earlier as people compete to be the new OP, it may be necessary to start locking new threads that are posted before the old one has been locked. There was really no need for this one to be made so early, but I'm not going to grumble about it. Let's just not make it a habit.

I doubt it. "Democratic socialism" means a democratic state with economic democracy, and you don't seem to be a fan of democracy. Government regulation of the economy isn't socialism, nor is it necessarily left-wing.

Somebody once told me the East Marches is gonna troll me
I ain't the rightest guy in the thread
He was looking kind of dumb with his finger and his thumb
With his grip on a stick in an aircraft
Well the bans start coming and they don't stop coming
Fed to the rules and my posts are not cunning
Didn't make sense not to imply for fun
Your brain gets smart but your post gets dumb
So much to do, so much to see
So what's wrong with taking the Reichstag?
You'll never know if you don't go
You'll never shine if you don't glow

Hey now, you're the Right Wing, get your reaction, go pray
Hey now, you're a Right Wing, get the show on, get paid
And all that glitters is gold
We're all dying in the Russian cold

So toppling me was greater than toppling the USSR and it's sphere of influence? How flattering. Clearly the культ личности persists.
