  1. "Rise of National Socialism in Kyrat, Military Coup successful."

    " The National Socialism Kyratian Worker's Party was one of these."

    National Socialist German Workers' Party

    flagrant nazism. ur not fooling anyone. if u were a fascist, u wouldn't use something so obviously similar to the nazi party nor associate with it.

     

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fascism- read up.

  2. LOL YOUR PROFILE PICTURE I'M NOT EVEN GOING TO REPORT THAT

     

    leader pic comes from HOI4. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Silver_Legion_of_America- " The Silver Legion of America, commonly known as the Silver Shirts, was an underground American fascist organization founded byWilliam Dudley Pelley that was headquartered in Asheville, North Carolina"

     

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Dudley_Pelley- profile pic based on said leader. 

     

    nazism may be against the rules, but if my memory is correct, fascism isn't.

    also, to contribute to the thread; the recent debates shouldn't be considered "debates". not enough policy talk, too much rhetoric.

  3. To me, a perfect government is one that simply knows what it wants to do, how it will do it, and how the thing that they wish to accomplish will affect their state. It really is that simple, to me at least. Being benevolent and kind to the subjects of the government is a second priority. An absolute monarchy appeals to me because as long as the monarch has not lost sight of what he or she wishes to accomplish, there is no limit to what the state can become.

  4. 1: You think the threat of death doesn't make them saying they'll change their ways more likely?

     

    2: ??? You can point at pretty everywhere and say "the west has occupied said land and influenced it". 

     

    3: Depends on how you want to look at it I suppose. Some would say the addicts made their bed and knew the consequences. With this they have a bigger incentive to kick the stuff and even more importantly possible addicts might pause to think before taking the now risky choice.

    in response to 1 and 2;

     

    however, is the threat of death really necessary to "help" drug addicts? i don't think so, but that's up to you to decide as a human being. also, the point of me stating that was to clarify philippines is not culturally a third world country, it has been heavily influenced by american culture and values. so "western lens" would best apply to a "western" country.

     

    3. it may be effective for now, but the future still has yet to unleash the true results of this "war on drugs". although, i do agree with the intensive crackdown on the drug lords and their empires, but i still disagree with the utilization of death squads. until then, when this "war on drugs" is finally over or progress to a certain level, i'll be willing to debate the after results of said policy. 

  5. 1.I never said them stating such a thing alone would remove their addiction. The knowledge that they go back to drugs that they could be then be killed at any time is what'll get them swearing off the drugs. Keeping your life tends to be a big motivation.

     

    2.You're looking at it from a western lens again. Would such things really work in the Philippines? Do they even work everywhere in the west? America for example just hardens drug addicts into worse criminals and the drug cartels currently act with relative impunity. You could say making drugs legal will fix everything yeah but considering most of the west doesn't do such a thing it's not exactly fair to attack others for not doing it when the west doesn't.

     

    3.Drug Lords can be hard to get especially when they know the government is seriously going after them so you got two major ways to cripple them. 1: Go after their supply and stop the making/importing of the drugs. 2: Go after the addicts and stop them supplying the Drug Lords with cash. As we see in a lot of places a jail sentences tends to not be enough for such a thing to scare them off drugs, but death seems to work.

    1. you gave the implication that death will be enough for them (drug addicts) to sway off the use of illegal drugs. 

     

    2. western lens for a western country. you're forgetting the philippines was occupied by the u.s, culturally influenced, and governmentally reformed. marcos may have screwed up the filipino government with his widespread corruption and embezzlement, but it still shows shocking similarities with most "western" countries. legalizing hard drugs wouldn't do anything, as you stated, but still isn't my argument. i could, however, argue that the immense amount of poverty and the large income gap has a contributing factor to the heavily entrenched drug lords/empires within the philippines. yet, as stated, that's not my argument.

     

    3. "go after their supply" drug dealers - people who sell the "goods" on streets or any other generic location. 2. going after drug addicts doesn't have to merit the use of death squads, it could include intensive jail time with rehabilitation. 3. going after drug lords can be hard if you don't crack down explicitly on their drug empires, contacts in the government & police force, and general associates. 

     

    don't generally care about the crackdown on the drug empires/drug lords and their generic associates within all fields in the philippines, but the usage of summary squads against drug addicts who have the urge not will (usually, not speaking for all) to intake the usage of drugs.

  6. You say degradation, but he'd tell you that society was degraded and he is now fixing it. It's all relative. 

     

    Extreme issues sometimes require extreme solutions. He has put the fear in the users who now have a serious consequence beyond just possible health issues above their heads. Many have sworn off drugs already and his policy is hardly going to create more drug users. Less drug users ultimately means the drug barons have less power.

    "sometimes" radical change doesn't have to include the usage of death squads on drug addicts. a simple "i swear to never to do drugs again" is hardly going to stop a drug addict from overcoming his urge to intake drugs. rehabilitation programs for drug addicts would be ideal, large amount of time in a prison for the drug lords (even death if sentenced so) and their associates. also when is he going to crack down on the oligarchs and general corrupt government, we don't need another marcos. also  note how i never stated "this policy is bad", but i did point out one flaw. summary executions aren't warranted, especially once they're detained.

     

    I neither justified it or denounced it. I only stated an observable fact; that there have been results.

    yeah and i commented on how killing drug addicts is somehow justified 

  7. regardless on feelings; it's working

    yeah, because summary executions are somehow justified.

     

    is the hardline approach okay? yeah, however, has society really degraded to the point where we kill drug addicts who are motivated by urge not by will to intake in the usage of drugs? yeah maybe kill the drug lords after giving them a trial. but honestly, drug addicts? 

     

    ironic how this "president" has to use paramilitary vigilantes to do his dirty work after inciting the civilian populace to kill drug addicts without any remorse.

     

    to reiterate, the hardline approach to drug lords and their cliche is okay, but summary executions of suspected drug addicts is a step too far

  8. After much consideration, I have decided to add a rule which states that people who have previously been banned from the National Affairs subforum will be unable to participate in this thread. The map will be updated shortly to reflect these changes.

    Not exactly great to see you making choices without the consideration of opinions of other NatRP team members. However, the fact that you "decided" to make these changes after Meonesia was unbanned from the forum hints some biased intents towards said player. Not sure if you reserve the right to dictate who can roleplay within this community, but I'm more than positive that this recent change was in light of Meonesia being unbanned (again biased).

     

     

     

    -edit- Take some joy and lighten up. Also, I withdraw my claims on this map. I no longer wish to roleplay where someone can dictate a rule change without considering other players input on the matter.
