Is this a vote on a person or the resolution at hand? Most people here seemingly agree with the resolution, so what’s the problem? You don’t like the author fine, but that is not relevant to why this resolution is important. This level of pettiness should have no place in the WA.

You're a German national? An AfD supporter, no doubt...

Have fun supporting this.


I see socialists, monarchists, liberals, etc. in the same list that you have generously kept for yourself. However, personal attacks on the basis of a few lines of indiscriminating text are baseless and irrelevant.

Let me quote Christopher Hitchens:
"What can be asserted without evidence can also be dismissed without evidence."

Not sure why that’s relevant, but sure, and now I’m a WA delegate :3, and I vote no. Thanks for the reminder though!

Even if that’s true, what has one nation to do with the region as a whole?
Also, check on some national policies of some participants here, you’ll find authoritarianism across the board. This is ridiculous. This could very well be a reaction to those accusations. Why wasn’t evidence collected BEFORE the proposal? Why do we have to ask for it?

You’re probably not wrong, but, then again, the evidence consists of ~10kb of text.

Nobody cares about NS stats. I myself RP as a constitutional monarchy despite not having Monarchy as a policy.

The region's RMB is riddled with fascist and anti-LGBT content as proven by Koth.

Why is this proposal singled out for evidence? I don't see you making the same demands for previous Liberations, in fact this thread is the only one you have participated in.

They're a member of the regional government. The leader of the region knows they're fascist and allows them to remain there, the same leader that commands the military that this proposal sought to Liberate a region from the occupation of. Other nations in the region have displayed behaviors typical of fascists. Asking this question is playing stupid.

Herten wrote:Also, check on some national policies of some participants here, you’ll find authoritarianism across the board. This is ridiculous.

Fascism is not the same as just authoritarianism, and being unabashedly fascist in your regional theme is not the same as having a nation that has an authoritarian policy in its Policies tab. You're being ridiculous here...

Previous proposals had compelling arguments? The so-called evidence here is a joke.
Also the authors conduct is quite frankly childish and dismissive.

And yes. I was mostly lurking before, but let’s be honest here: this is not the way things should be handled here. I am missing respect towards the platform and its users.

Seeing as the region has simply switched hands to another raiding group, I will continue to support this.

You sound ignorant actually, this isn't the first controversial proposal. Condemn The Communist Bloc proposals were a running joke of the SC for a while for poorly written and researched arguments, and were consistently voted down.

Respect? Since when did the SC become respectable in the first place? Bhang Bhang Duc is well-known for his "badge hunt" catchphrase against new SC authors. 0cala may have overreacted but jumping on a new author who doesn't even speak English well is utter disrespect, really.

The way you’re demanding conformity that aligns with your world views is more fascist than you probably think.
I see no evidence that supports the insinuations about the region as a whole. I only see weak personal attacks on the basis of a few lines of text that have no direct connection to fascism WHATSOEVER.

I like how you temporarily lowered your extremely high standards for calling someone fascist just so you could call me one. =P

I don’t think I am behaving ignorant by proposing a return to better standards, especially if the proposing party claims moral superiority.

I matured.

Edit:
The way people are being attacked for explaining their reasons why they cannot support this proposal is shameful.
