gauging interest: rebirth of the socialist international


Hereno
 Share

Recommended Posts

Since I joined last October I've only seen some irrelevant micros called RGE on the far right, and I've seen SWF, IR, Charming Friends, and more on the far left.

 

Not only are there more on the left, they're far more accepted, in game and on the forums. What do you honestly think would've happened if you'd started, for example, a thread called "Gauging interest - Fourth Reich Alliance"? 

 

To show this, let's check the embargoes page and list the first 10 embargo reasons we see that are obviously motivated by left/right ideology (ignoring repeats by/against the same people):

"Jingoism and slavery is no good"

"nazi's are scum"

"Solidarity with Palestine"

"anarchist"

"Fascist"

"we dont accept racist people"

"He is a evil nazi"

"Confed flag is gross"

"Racism is not tolerated you piece of dirt"

"Capitalist pig"

 

Generally speaking, this place leans left, just like virtually every other internet site filled with young people. This place couldn't tolerate Trump advertisements, you think Nazis are tolerated? If you're so far left that we're all far-right from your point of view, you're too far left.

 

Personally, I hate the communists in this game as much as I hate the people who want to play Nazis or ISIS. But at the same time I love to hate them, because political rivalries make the game so much more interesting, so good luck making your alliance.

 

except the nazis systematically exterminated persons consisting of a large portion of the userbase whereas stalin and the rest of the commies you hate so much did what dictators have done throughout history - kill people who opposed them on political grounds. united states does it too, to a much lesser extent - communists were, for example, barred from getting many jobs throughout the mccarthy era, and the war on drugs was literally started because "the white women are gonna !@#$ the black men". the united states tends to kill non-citizens a lot more than its own citizens.

 

you can draw false equivalencies all you want, and it isn't my intention to say that keeping me from getting a nice job is the same thing as shipping me off to siberia, but at the end of the day, i supported keeping the trump ads and i've wrote more scathing criticisms of idiots on the far left than any of you are even capable of. your post is just another generic appeal to moderation, but i guess that's better than shitposting and bad attempts at trolling. even so, you're literally counting "don't be racist" and "don't have slaves" as leftist. if the center has moved to accepting racism, that ought to tell you something.

 

actually, now that i think about it, not including an alliance literally named after the confederate states of america as being "far right" outs you as a shill in sheep's clothing. no pun wrt sheepy intended.

Next bit of tripe is you are going to accuse The $yndicate of being a Right-Wing group for being Capitalists and that their symbol is closely associated with the Masonic Temple of the Solar Order, known for murder and unproven Occult ties to the Neo-Nazis.

TheNG - My favorite part is when Steve suggests DEIC might have done something remotely successful, then gets massively shit on for proposing such a stupid idea.

terminus est, among other alliances, is practically entirely filled with far-right wing politics of this nature.

Someone has a little case of "Alliance Envy" I think!!!!  Don't be too jealous.....one of these days you might be able to sit at the cool kids table!

you guys probably think that these posts make you look good

 

in truth, i would drink bleach before joining your alliance. there's nothing cool about being stupid, racist, or rude.

Hereno is like the village idiot who steals a snickers bar from a shop and calls it communism. He wants to be another Nestor Makhno but his mom won't let him!

We are not racist. We mock and insult everyone equally.

when you get hit first in this game and you have no military to speak of in the first place, that's pretty much all you can do

 

like you can turn it into a trash-talking point all you want but the fact that i didn't have the time to sit and watch every aa in the game for military build-up on top of basically running an alliance 80% by myself doesn't mean a whole lot except that i'm right about what i identified our problems to be in the OP. apart from fox fire making us an alternate set of forums and providing images that sindorin ended up spending a few credits to get put into the game (and then he tried to get sheepy to take them back when him doing that didn't mean i handed over control of the AA to him), everything we did was basically entirely me by the end. VL helped some, too, that i remember. joe wasn't entirely inactive. aladeen was around. fraggle posted weird shit a few times before leaving... that was the extent of us doing work. if you don't believe me, ask pub - the whole reason we ended up going to EoS with the shit that i told him not to trust me with in the first place is because he didn't bother letting me know that i actually gave him a member mask which let him see 95% of our forums for like a week.

 

we didn't actively recruit whatsoever, either. all of our members came from people seeking us out and choosing to join us. everything we did happened in the first six months of the game, a ton of our guides were just outright stolen from other alliances, and we suffered from the common malady of all commie alliances - none of us really gave a shit about the game enough to actually play it. that's a lot of the reason for this thread, actually - to see if people who actually want to sit and do work for hours and hours on this game in a commie alliance, or if the desire to see us reform is mainly along the lines of mine.... "it would be nice but i'm not actually gonna bother because i'd rather just be a commie irl and not worry about working in a game"

 

point being, despite ALL OF THAT bullshit, we were still and remain cooler than TEst and sycophants like kurdanak, even after merging into arrgh!

 

 

Yes, SI was the first alliance I was in. From what I can remember, because I was only in the alliance for maybe a few weeks, was that the alliance was run professionally. The forums, advice and general niceness of the people was appealing. Hereno was attentive to his alliance and had good intentions going forward. I don't remember him actively recruiting anyone, and he did not have anything bad to say when I left.

 

In fact he was happy to see Fraggle Rock be the first nation to develop nuclear weapons. We didn't understand each other, nor did Fraggle Rock really want to be in the alliance that people were going to target. Hereno was good people back then. Still might be, shit I haven't spoken to him in nearly 20 months. Honestly, I thought he left.

 

If the right conditions were there, I would rejoin his alliance. Thanks for speaking about me Hereno....Byes.

I did leave for a while; just recently came back. Sorry about what I said. I can see why you might've taken it as an insult, but weird to me hasn't had negative connotations for a long time. And shit is just another word for "stuff". I liked having you as a member because you contribute interesting stuff, and the support that I showed for your posting back then has not eroded over time.

Hardly insulted. Just wanted to put out the view that some people enjoyed your alliance. It just didn't work with my future plans. I'll be around if you want to make some deals going forward. Glad to see you back.

There's numerous problems with a left alliance, first and most importantly "left" is a broad term covering Trot/Leninist idiots who don't realise history has left them behind, social justice warriors who have all but given up on the material world turning instead to policing language and being right on. There's others on the left but these two groups are a pain in the ass. They're useless misfits who, if they hadn't found politics would be banging a tambourine in the Jesus army. They don't get on with each other let alone people outside their clique. Forget them Hereno, you can't keep them out of a left alliance and why the hell would you want a left alliance anyway?

 

Have some fun instead.

as much as i want to, i genuinely find it difficult to be in "normal" alliances with a bunch of useless yuppies who get paid to do nothing and get mommy and daddy to give them cash when they're making 40, 50+ thousand bucks a year, and then go on to !@#$ shame women in front of me

 

i've self-identified as an SJW before - irl i don't go around policing language (i say "!@#$" like every other word), but there's a reason that they do that. one thing i've done is replace "!@#$" with "!@#$" in my vocabulary, so that it becomes a female version of "dick" with ostensibly the same meaning. and it's hilarious here in america because "!@#$" gets about as much of a reaction as saying the n word. which is, of course, an example of language policing that i don't see as necessarily bad. i mean if that's how you feel that's how you feel but i personally don't want to associate with people who say that word unironically, because they're racists. don't get me wrong, i get it when people use "!@#$" and other discriminatory words when they're pissed off and just want to hurt someone with them, or if they're just saying it because they don't really actually have the connotation with those words that would be hateful, but i still try not to talk like that out of respect for the various groups that i'm not a member of who i feel deserve respect. but i don't go as far as just hating all white people like these weirdos i keep meeting who think that being white and rich is like, this god-given thing we have going on that has been going on forever and ever, or some bullshit, though. and for the record, none of those people are ever black people. it's always white people "oh i hate white people" !@#$ look in the mirror.

 

and as much as the weirdo stalinoids and "we need to support north korea" trots (lmfao) piss me off, at least they're willing to read a book about something, and they care

 

like yeah most people are garbage but i need to be around people who have brains and use them to think about shit. even if i disagree with them, i get along much better with people who think than the hurrdurr droolbabys, and being in a leftist alliance is a good way to sorta cut off some of the fat that i don't want. i actually was thinking about making something completely apolitical, but this thread was actually in response to one of many messages i've gotten of people wanting this back. and considering how half of the "leftists" here are just like the ones in INT (almost none of whom were actual irl radicals at all), i feel like doing this and sorta helping the process along can at least guarantee a starting point where there are some decent, intelligent people who are laying the foundations, rather than a bunch of idiots who don't know shit about !@#$

 

e: god damn it sheepy it's really hard to talk about curse words when you filter them all

Just wanted to point out that 100% taxation isn't too bad at all if you give each trusted member bank access. Works fine for us.

It's my birthday today, and I'm 33!

That means only one thing...BRING IT IN, GUYS!
