Alright lets address this here publicly for once. Lets shoot down the puffing out of the chest to start with. Fark's Stratagem has been spying SIR ever since Acadia dropped their protection so for all the puffing out, they wouldn't do a thing if Acadia or any other papered alliance protected SIR. They were asked to stop which they did, so now they're doing attacks and threatening everyone to let it happen, again, because Acadia isn't in the picture. Now, on the matter of SIR. When they were Iron Guard they were very present and aggressive, for which they got destroyed. Their nations were deleted, the alliance gone. They certainly paid for it. With SIR however what has gone down is a harassment campaign from this cast of characters here from Fark, Stratagem, and friends. They make a show of it and the story always is the same. They talk of RL matters and when told that such things are not valid reasons they cite things said on discord that relate to in game. I ask for evidence of this and they state that they do not need it. Apparently some racist words were said on Acadia's Discord server (and apparently it may have been Gabranth who isn't and hasn't been SIR as far as I know) and as we all know, these people mash that screenshot button if they see any such things and yet provide no evidence on this case? So today I'm talking again with them and they cite Fark's server... no screenshots again which is weird. If you have a killshot, you'd think it'd be posted. Instead apparently I'm supposed to take Kosmo's word as fact or something. Finally a screenshot is posted: Which apparently proves guilt on this "raid". Even though even I knew about it as Kosmo saw fit to go talking about it everywhere saying we were protecting people doing such things. No evidence of it being them again was provided at the time. The above is apparently 3 of 6 and there is some stuff in the other ones... I ask for it, get told I'm nosy. Right. The start point of such harassment being: However as Starbuck mentions (I'm talking to Queen M and he has been told so he hasn't predicted anything folks). An issue here is for all their talk, RL matters is actually not something these people are so clean themselves on. They're noted anti-white racists, Starbuck in particular recently put on quite the show where he went around talking "Kill all white people", admitted he wouldn't say the same about black or Jewish folk, mocked anti-white racism being a thing, and all the usual matters that come with such behaviour. As I was someone who suffered such things at a young age he eventually relented and apologised, however this attitude we know is very present on that RL political end. White people, but white men in particular are the enemy. Queen M has tried to use her apparent White man as a shield, which is funny as by the very words of that end that is no shield at all. So you see, RL is not your friend. You don't see me, a sufferer from such racism and a white man (so enemy #1) hitting such people over such reasons. These people shouldn't be doing this Jihad over RL reasons either. To further expand, where is the Crusade on Ibrahim, Abu, and however you spell Moreao? ISIS supporters. Seems they don't care to hit them for whatever reason. Now some might remark that then, I would never protect those Muslim folks then certainly... except I totally did. All of them were in RW at some point and thus protected. They no longer are for reasons up to them. So question, is that Bastion guy part of SIR?

durmij Posted December 5, 2017 Share Posted December 5, 2017 (edited) 10 hours ago, George Clooney said: This is a very unfortunate thread. The OP is fairly OOC insulting to a number of Acadia members, some of whom had relatives who fought against the Nazis in World War II, at least one of whom had family members die in the Holocaust. A long time prominent member of your community is currently arguing that women are genetically inferior enough to justify taking away what little political power the citizen is given in modern society. This statement was also irrelevant to the op, but I wanted to bring it up to mirror your own argument's flaw. Your post is an example of a red herring; these circumstances don't matter to the situation at hand. What matters is that your AA protected an alliance full of people who promote genocide and hate speech, and this is the second time they've done this in a short while. 9 hours ago, Keegoz said: I remember when bringing OOC shit into the game was a good enough cb to be dogpiled.

Seems they don't care to hit them for whatever reason. I only have time for this one clarification out of the lot. Those three were driven out. None of them can use the forums, they are banned from most discords, and where they aren't banned they are mocked ruthlessly. Ibrahim is still rolled on occasion. The white supremacists, in contrast, are met with middling responses and hand waving, in spite of the fact that they have never signalled that they intend to change their behaviour. 1 hour ago, Auctor said: Actually, at the risk of further pedantry, this can be a free speech issue. It's just not a constitutionally protected free speech issue under the first amendment. John Stuart Mill would make the case that the government is less of a threat to free speech than the social pressures of a given era. The only reason to make the argument that social pressures inhibit free speech is to take the absurdist reductionist stance that free speech is impossible. The large institution and concrete impediments definition is used because it gives a clear framework and affords the individual some agency and responsibility in fighting social pressures.

Why? Because when Kosmo got upset and was too angry to bother providing ANY evidence, I went and found everything I could possibly locate, even from old IG forums. Why? Because I cared enough that even when Kosmo was kinda a dick to me for asking him what proof he had (and didn't provide much), I wanted to be sure that he was either right or wrong before I started suggesting we lynch people, or told Acadia to ignore him. I spent the better part of a decade as a criminal investigator; I know how to make a federal case, through research, surveillance, and presenting physical evidence. I found enough proof to give to Acadia's gov with a solid case that members hadn't reformed and most wouldn't apologize for previous behavior. I made the mistake of giving it to Kosmo and James when I found it, as a show of good faith. People have dumped those screens in public, without crediting the source (me) in an impatient, though understandable effort to incite the public mob to exert pressure as well. Acadia isn't run as an outright empire, and their process may have taken a bit long for our taste, but they did the right thing, and you got handed SIR on a platter as a target. Food for actual thought: Why did it take Acadia this long to act? Why was Kosmo so agressive and hostile to begin with? Why did no one but me actually present Acadia with evidence? Do you all monitor your members, let alone your protectorates, closely enough that I couldn't find dirt on them too, of which you are not aware? Do we really even need to be in the business of mud-slinging over this, when the goal was accomplished, and those who made use of nazi-like ideology or outright nazi-affiliated symbols and sayings were exposed and ostracized, not because of unsourced accusations, but through my search for proof? Final note. It's a game. Relax. We got the bad guys. Let's go after Ibrahim next. Anyone? ...Bueller? 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Micchan Posted December 5, 2017 Share Posted December 5, 2017 I just want to say that a valid CB is only related to the game, you should not roll alliances based on ideologies or anything said by single players, at best you can place an embargo If you don't like what a player says you can block or ignore him On the other hand there's a lack of action so if you really want to start a war try to involve TKR pls 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The large institution and concrete impediments definition is used because it gives a clear framework and affords the individual some agency and responsibility in fighting social pressures. You're making an argument as to what it would be appropriate for a government to intervene in, not about what is free speech as such. Free speech is the freedom to say anything of course and the freedom to associate or not associate with that person based on what you hear them say is another right, but boiling down "free speech" absolutely to what is protected by the first amendment is lacking in nuance itself. If a large private corporation were to fire someone for something they say or an opinion they express, for instance, that certainly impinges on their freedom of speech but it does not do so in a way I would see as justifiable for the authorities to intervene to protect. Any absolute freedom is impossible to enforce in a real world, but to say that because it can't be enforced it isn't a right is to make an argument freedoms can't exist. I think people should be free from being murdered, but people get murdered every day and that doesn't cause me to reevaluate the essential value of believing in a right to not be murdered. Not being able to have a society that holds to an absolute standard doesn't invalidate the idea of all those things those principles can encompass.

Not being able to have a society that holds to an absolute standard doesn't invalidate the idea of all those things those principles can encompass. I'm really only defending the large institution public space argument in the modern North American context. It doesn't really hold up to scrutiny of it's principals, especially once you look at social constructs and the realities of power, but it's a decent functional model to work with in the mean time. The real issue is the discourse is that groups use the same language to describe different models. As you pointed out, absolute freedoms are impossible to realize, but a large number of people still ascribe to the notion that criticism is as dangerous to liberty as government shock troops. I agree that principles and freedoms are more aspirational goals than rigid requirements, and the inability to implement them wholesale without accommodation does not invalidate them.
