How "woke" is your nation?

Postby Mikanjima » Sat Jun 02, 2018 5:42 am

Does your government support Social Justice, feminism, racial justice, and equality?

Every aspect of the Mikanjiman government supports these ideals listed above, so our government would be classified as "always woke and never slept".

Do popular culture (TV, movies, video games, board games, literature, comedy, sports, art, cartoons, music, anime, any kind of hobby in general) in your country always get engaged in political activities, either by protests, petitions or social media activism?

In times of chaos and disorder reeling from the rise of the alt-right/Nazism/fascism/white supremacism worldwide, the election of Trump, and the passage of Brexit, it is virtually impossible for a Mikanjiman celebrity or entertainer these days to stay "neutral" on political issues, so they are encouraged (and sometimes required) to speak out politically and become WOKE on Social Justice and feminism issues.

If entertainers, celebrities, or personalities do not engage in political activities (not woke or politically neutral), then how are they treated for it?

Any celebrity, entertainer or personality in Mikanjima who aren't woke, but instead sleeping, especially in very tough social and political times, are most likely to suffer the consequences and a huge loss of popularity and support for their unwoke and unforgivable actions, which only gives the alt-right/Nazis/fascists/enemies of Mikanjima legitimacy, and they might get jailed, exiled, forced into slavery, or even executed for it, all because staying politically "neutral" (or not being left-wing or left of center) these days is equivalent to that of treason against Mikanjima or the Mikanjiman people.

No.

Some celebrities do, especially in election years, but it's the exception not the norm and most people in the entertainment industry have found that being too political alienates people resulting in a loss of market share.

If entertainers, celebrities, or personalities do not engage in political activities (not woke or politically neutral), then how are they treated for it?

The successful ones are the ones smart enough to stay out of politics - getting too activisty is often the quickest way to tank your career and end up a has-been or one hit wonder.

No, only equality is supported by the government.

No. Popular culture tends to be separate from politics. The only exception to this is during election years.

They are treated like normal, respectable humans. Most Thermodolians actually look down on celebrities who are too engaged in politics.

Social justice: Nein.
Feminism: Eh...sort of? We let women vote and own property, but they're also forced to register for the draft, get married, and raise families, so...eh.
Racial justice: Iffy. While all races are welcome, preference is given to those who are more culturally related(eg; Europeans) or have vital skills(*looks at Southeast Asia/China*). Interracial relationships, while not illegal, are considered odd.

Equality: No, absolutely not.

Partially. Culture and everyday politics go in hand these days, but sometimes people are just fed with them, so it's 50% political in some way, and 50% apolitical. We also use our culture to promote our crowning values, like freedom, equality and alcoholism. What? That's not propaganda, that's advertisment.

Thats their right. People just get fed with political shit, and need some rest from it, so in Skyhooked it doesn't matter, if author is apolitical or not, awesomeness all that matters.

═───╡❖╞────────═ Alleged "Wokeness" of the Freehold of Ephyra ═────────╡❖╞───═




Does your government support Social Justice, feminism, racial justice, and equality?


No. Social justice, feminism, racial justice, and proposed ideas of equality are intersectional neo-Marxist attempts at societal control and destruction of moral values and inherent realities. The Freehold maintains strong, conservative, and traditionalist positions that have served it for over one thousand years.

The ideologies proposed will always emerge when the risk of downfall is greatest, following a period of affluence where circumstances that dictated harsher measures are perhaps less necessary. However these circumstances are never gone, and ideologies like feminism and social justice end up in a deluded state of the belief that civilisation is immortal and can exist under any model when this is not true. They accelerate the downfall of a civilisation, the circumstances that dictated harsher measures become more impactful, and the ruins of society have absolutely no means of countering them, opening them up to conquest.

This is what happened to Rome. We in Ephyra are the heirs of Rome and shall not suffer the same fate. We are mindful of the reality outside of civility. Extinction is always more likely than survival. We must remain constantly braced against the harshness of the world, and indulging in frivolous and juvenile ideas of equality and feminism is a path that ends only in destruction.

Does popular culture in your country always get engaged in political activities, either by protests, petitions or social media activism?


Not typically. Political activism isn't very high though involvement is. There are cases where it does occur, and it's not necessarily considered to be bad when it does, but it just isn't something that occurs routinely or with any degree of consistency. The culture of Ephyra highly impacts its politics, and its instilled nature of traditionalism, and a moral and legal code based entirely around the practices of the ancestors, as they are the reason the society has become great, therefore what they did works and is logical, but there's little in popular culture such as TVs and movies and other things that actually purposely make a political statement, rather than just existing as what they are.

If entertainers, celebrities, or personalities do not engage in political activities (not woke or politically neutral), then how are they treated for it?


Entertainers and celebrities such as they exist are actually expected not to engage in political activities because of the market they operate in. Actors and entertainers are experts at playing a crowd and performing facades, and therefore they are inherently untrustworthy. For political activities, regular citizens and those committed towards leading the Freehold are those that are preferred. There was even a time when actors would be prohibited the right to vote. The society is just completely uninterested in what these personalities have to say.

As a final note, though the term 'woke' is of little usage in Ephyra, we would say that none of the ideologies stated above, nor the reality of celebrity involvement in politics, constitutes 'wokeness' in terms of awareness of reality. They are antithetical to reality. They necessarily declare realities of biology and evolution to be socially constructed because their entire agenda is a socially engineered society. Cohesion is not their aim. Coherence is not their aim. Awareness of reality is the rejection of social justice, the rejection of feminism, and the rejection of equality. People are not equal. People will start at different positions, possess different traits that either maximise or minimise potentials for success, and people will always end up in different places. Feminism is the sexual manifestation of Marxism seeking a sexual revolution and the overthrow of society's traditional morals. Social justice would declare the law to apply only in some cases depending on if the offenders are of a certain race or sex.

These ideologies are a cancer to a society and they will see it destroyed. Ephyra rejects them entirely, Ephyra is aware of reality. To that end, Ephyra is more 'woke' on these issues than any nation peddling such destructive mentalities for short-term gratification.

There is constitutional equality of Civil and Political Rights in Las Palmeras in theory. The government has been accused of being gynocentric according to some, though that's not specifically equal to Western-style feminism -which often has the stigma of trying to disrupt the foundations of family and society. We believe in the promoting equality of chance, however the practical equality of all is considered a fantasy because not everyone has the same capacities.

Do popular culture (TV, movies, video games, board games, comedy, sports, art, cartoons, music, anime, any kind of hobby in general) in your country always get engaged in political activities, either by protests, petitions or social media activism?

That depends on the owner of the program/product and their own political stance when available. On a whole, there is no uniform tendency though when it comes to things that aren't public broadcasting. Public programs and products are clearly in favor of our official history and our exceptionalism.

If entertainers, celebrities, or personalities do not engage in political activities (not woke or politically neutral), then how are they treated for it?

Probably with indifference; the biggest thing that they can get flak for is either disrespecting the monarchy or the nation---which are sort of interchangeable.

It is very rare.

If entertainers, celebrities, or personalities do not engage in political activities (not woke or politically neutral), then how are they treated for it?

They are looked upon as any other celebrity. Professional entertainers and actors hold a much lower position in society, so even if they were engaged in politics, no one would care, as their opinions are viewed as irrelevant.

We only support racial justice. We somewhat support social justice--if we see someone being a dick to another person, we have a problem with that, but when if someone is being a dick to another person on the basis of religion and gender, you won't hear a peep from us, so long as it supports the state religion.

And in that case, the state might intervene to convert said individual.

Other than that, we are practically saudi arabia in our positions on social equality, justice etc. etc.

Our popular culture can protest, so long at it follows the holy texts.

And they're treated fine--sorry for the short answers---I'm doing this real quick before I have to get to work.

Social justice: Under no circumstances. That is not de wae. We're still more woke than you'll ever be.
Feminism: Egalitarian feminism- women are encouraged to hold high positions or go into academic fields, but are also encouraged to be homemakers later in their lives. Women are included in required military service/conscription, but there are still hints of chivalry within the system, with some more women in combat roles being guards or support rather than on the front lines.
Racial justice: You mean racial equality? Exodia is highly multiracial and multicultural. If you're talking about events like the Armenian Genocide or Stalin's mass murder of Ukrainians, then we'll vouch for the downtrodden party.
Equality: God made man. Gunpowder made man equal. Nuclear weapons increased equality. The Internet made humanity the epitome of equality. No more questions.

Do popular culture (TV, movies, video games, board games, comedy, sports, art, cartoons, music, anime, any kind of hobby in general) in your country always get engaged in political activities, either by protests, petitions or social media activism?

When activism arises through popular media, it's rarely about "social justice" and rather about charities, environmental or medical causes, or economic changes.
Petitions and legitimate protests? Pffffft, that's for normies. We conduct our right to protest by going on 4chan, amassing a following on /pol/, and hopping on the offending website and DDoSing it.

Ours too - which is why Social Justice, feminism, racial justice, and equality are not political issues at all. Our political issues are things like, "Should we spend more on healthcare and less on education?" or, "Should we invest in agricultural research?"

Celebrities may express their opinions on those issues but the view of most Fatatatutians is that that is what we elect government for.

We support equality for all, but probably not “social justice” in the sense you’re thinking of.

Do popular culture (TV, movies, video games, board games, comedy, sports, art, cartoons, music, anime, any kind of hobby in general) in your country always get engaged in political activities, either by protests, petitions or social media activism?

Some TV shows and movies satirize the government, political figures, and international relations, but those shows tend to be targeted towards adults. Some celebrities are pretty political and regularly tweet praise or criticism towards the government, but most aren’t.

If entertainers, celebrities, or personalities do not engage in political activities (not woke or politically neutral), then how are they treated for it?

All citizens of the Federation of Lillorainen are equal by the Federal constitution and all nine state constitutions - discrimination based on sex, ethnic origin, or whatever is illegal.

Do popular culture (TV, movies, video games, board games, comedy, sports, art, cartoons, music, anime, any kind of hobby in general) in your country always get engaged in political activities, either by protests, petitions or social media activism?

Some do, most don't. If they do, their freedom of speech is granted, meaning the range of political views represented in culture may cover the whole classical spectrum (which actually doesn't really play a notable role here).

If entertainers, celebrities, or personalities do not engage in political activities (not woke or politically neutral), then how are they treated for it?

Nobody cares. You can speak up for or against anything you want - including nothing at all. Again, freedom of speech.
Since Lillorainen's geography is currently being overhauled a 'tiny' bit, most information on it posted before December 12, 2018, is not entirely reliable anymore.

Does your government support Social Justice, feminism, racial justice, and equality?

(OOC: I hate the phrase “social justice” because it’s ridiculously broad. To some people, social justice is protecting the unborn, keeping marriage between man and woman, and having women lead more ladylike, domestic lives. To others, social justice is being pro-choice, pro-LGBTQ, and fiercely feminist. “Social justice” is entirely subvjective and this is a dumb question)

Andyrssia supports social acceptance and equality, and it is even written in the Constitution of the Commonwealth Republic that the Assembly may make no laws that intentionally favor one group and/or discriminate against another. It is also illegal for the government to sponsor segregation, and all citizens are entitled to the same civil liberties regardless of sex or orientation.

That being said, private individuals reserve the right to be, shall we say, “less progressive”, and likewise small businesses can deny services to anyone on the grounds of religious belief. However, the latter is a practically nonexistent occurrence. Due to the progressive mindset of Andyrssian society, businesses with an unsavory reputation tend to fail rather quickly.

Do popular culture (TV, movies, video games, board games, comedy, sports, art, cartoons, music, anime, any kind of hobby in general) in your country always get engaged in political activities, either by protests, petitions or social media activism?

“Always” engaged in politics may be a stretch, but Andyrssian pop culture is very politically minded. However, it’s not for the sake of being “woke”, so much as for the fact that candor is an intrinsic value of Andyrssian culture. Proudly one of the most politically free and democratic nations in the world, civil discourse is a very common aspect of Andyrssian life. It is entirely acceptable and even encouraged by society for popular culture have political or philosophical undertones. The Andyrs are a very intellectual and cultured society that value thought and dialogue. Also, political satire is widely beloved. However, it’s not expected or required. There’s plenty of politics-free culture and entertainment to be enjoyed in Andyrssia.

If entertainers, celebrities, or personalities do not engage in political activities (not woke or politically neutral), then how are they treated for it?

In any free society, such as Andyrssia, the choice to not participate is still a valid choice. Although political entertainment is beloved, it is not expected. No one is required to be involved. Therefore, citizens don’t care if their celebrities or personalities aren’t politically minded.

Hazukenia is forever asleep and never woke. Being and staying woke, from a 2017 law, is interpreted as "social activism that could permanently disturb the peace of Hazukenia" and is punishable by death. Basically, to be woke is to be anti-Hazuken.

Does your government support Social Justice, feminism, racial justice, and equality?

No.

Do popular culture (TV, movies, video games, board games, comedy, sports, art, cartoons, music, anime, any kind of hobby in general) in your country always get engaged in political activities, either by protests, petitions or social media activism?

Not really, as engaging with opinions, which aren't supported by government, might be dangerous for health. However, popular culture often uses pro-government rhetoric.

If entertainers, celebrities, or personalities do not engage in political activities (not woke or politically neutral), then how are they treated for it?
They aren't treated in any special way, but it is recommended to support the ruling party.
I have moved this nation to the Silver Commonwealth, just like Frievolk did with Asmundia, as too many people seemed to confuse the old name with new one.

The governing party (The Front) is woke af, investing a great deal in affirmative action and inclusivity. Even the opposition party (the League) thinks of itself woke, though in a born-again Christian sort of way.

Our people are highly politically engaged and are never slump. Our television shows, music, and internet culture revolve around political engagement and activism.

If entertainers, celebrities, or personalities do not engage in political activities (not woke or politically neutral), then how are they treated for it?

These personalities would not be very popular, though they would not be penalized by any governing body. There are, however, incentives for supporting social justice causes.

No. It is especially against the idea of "equality." There can be no equality between us, who are the Superiors; and primitive, inferior species that are still hung up on nonsense like their sexes, genders, and races. If a species can't even come to terms with the typical variations of its own Design Specification, how can it ever be equal to Us? It is only fit to slave away in our mines as livestock, underground and out of our sight.

As robots, of course, WE are above all of these things when it comes to our own species. Anyone who gets the idea that a particular Decepticon's design is inferior is quickly corrected when that person blasts him in the face and then wins the ensuing battle. (Visibly non-standard Decepticon designs are usually different precisely because of upgrades made to improve fighting ability.) Of course, if someone's design really IS inferior, as evidenced by a loss in a battle against someone who dissed it, then it is up to that person to upgrade.

Do popular culture (TV, movies, video games, board games, comedy, sports, art, cartoons, music, anime, any kind of hobby in general) in your country always get engaged in political activities, either by protests, petitions or social media activism?
Absolutely not. Anyone engaging in attempts to subvert our culture will be legally executed - if an angry mob doesn't kill them first. Our popular culture providers are very much woke to this fact, and if they do express any kind of political content at all, it is invariably nationalistic, pro-government, and 100% supportive of the existing Decepticon culture.

If entertainers, celebrities, or personalities do not engage in political activities (not woke or politically neutral), then how are they treated for it?


They are treated according to how well they perform, which is as it should be. Judging them on other factors just leads to a bunch of no-talent garbage choking the market.

We will add that we think that those who like to call themselves "woke" usually are not. Instead, they are so hung up on their pet issue that they are asleep to absolutely everything else. Therefore, no Decepticon uses this term.
