[DEFEATED] Condemn Dilber

Postby Drew Durrnil » Sat Mar 13, 2021 2:41 pm

Oh f*ck not this again
Condemn Dilber
Proposed by: A melted instant pot lid

Text:

The Security Council

NOTING that the World Assembly is a democratic institution

BELIEVING it should be a responsibility of the World Assembly to spread democracy even to those who don’t want it

HORRIFIED that the West Pacific under Dilber has become an undemocratic region with few of any elections

SHOCKED by the rampant corruption of Dilber allows even the selling of regional up-and-comers such as Varanius

CASUALLY OBJECTING to the raids conducted by the so called “West Pacific Armed Forces” and the damage to regional communities these individuals cause by changing WFEs

GASPING at the atrocities committed by Dilber against the eyes of regionmates

SOMEHOW STILL SHOCKED that Dilber has repeatedly taunted and bullied fellow nations such as Xoriet and Varanius even if the former completely deserves it

ASSERTING that these heinous actions can not be left unpunished

HEREBY condemns Dilber

There's nothing of substance here. Also very poorly-researched.

I don't think TWP was democratic for a while. I remember it being a somewhat authoritarian meritocracy under Davelands when they were delegate.

A well-done Condemn Dilber would be quite fun. This is not a well-written Condemn Dilber.

This comes from a joke in the NSGP server about Dilber selling Vara to TGW.

Ha, I wondered what the Vara reference was about.

Imagine condemning a region solely because they're not a democracy. Then the author should also look to condemn CCD or some other authoritarian region.

Also to the OP; there was really no need to post this. If it was getting close to at at quorum, then yes. But at the moment.....?

It currently is on a pace to reach quorum, so I'm posting it here just in case it does.

Agreed.

Additionally, I have a big problem with this clause:
BELIEVING it should be a responsibility of the World Assembly to spread democracy even to those who don’t want it

While an invader group that brought democracy by force to regions that didn't want it would honestly be quite entertaining, I can't actually support this statement of opposition to regional sovereignty. (If you want to make the argument that GCRs should be democratic by virtue of their position, you're going to have to work a lot harder than this.)

"Condemn TCB" was a joke, and it made it to the voting floor.

Why does this sound familiar again? :V

Also, is it just me or does this sound more like a joke prop-

Probably should have drafted in the first place. Right now, it's not a good resolution.

I have absolutely never understood people's random interest in quorum raiding something which will likely fail by 85% at vote.

What do you think the Against button is for? Have some faith in the democratic process.

I also only see Dilber as the only major delegate to vote for if it goes to a vote. You can't blame them, having a condemn badge would look nice.
