I wish to apologize for conflating Francoism with Nazism. Europeia recognizes the steps NPO is taking in their pledge to end Francoism. Europeia will continue to promote the values of inclusion and respect among all willing to communicate civilly.

Collectivism and outgroup derogation in propaganda are neither new nor unusual in this game. This is a dumb comparison.

I find it very amusing for Unibot to pretend to be outraged by supposed fascism on behalf of the NPO, when I'm pretty sure he rewarded Automagfreek with Condemnation. Were we to take the things AMF has said in RPs at the value Unibot wants us to take the NPO, then Unibot supports fascism as evidenced by rewarding AMF with an in-character condemnation.
Such a comparison would be incredibly stupid, but then, so is comparing the NPO to real life fascists and nazis.

Francos Spain and Unlimited, both students of European politics, know exactly what language they were lifting when the former named a state, the New Pacific Order, and Unlimited et. al. created an ideology around reclamation, annexation, unification, and national pride and culture, in addition to collective servitude and the abolition of the individual, against a sinister "deceptive," elite/dominant minority.
The NPO is a not very subtle pastiche of European nationalist dictatorships.
Sure it's a game, nobody has died over a game, but it is a pastiche and the source is clear and unsavory. I don't see anything wrong about pointing out the connection. Francoist rhetoric is indistinguishable from RL fascist propaganda, it just inserts "userite" where RL dictators used "jew" - and the logic of them as a dominant minority, infiltrating political society and weakening and imperalising nations from within remains intact. You may be comfortable with that, knowing it is a game, but I don't think it is fair to direct outrage, not to the people prancing around with Mein Kampf ripoffs, but to the people pointing out the plagiarism.

And that's a wrap! Earlier today, we broadcast the first episode of The Newsroom, the NationStates Today Podcast, on Twitch. Our hosts, Wymondham and Lewis Flood, interviewed Halo and Imki, the WA Delegates of the West Pacific and Lazarus respectively. If you missed it, don't worry! We're editing our first episode to add music and effects, and it'll be released next Wednesday.
