With respect, J. R., you have absolutely no idea what Ben Madison was actually like. You're acting like a disgruntled schoolkid comparing an unpleasant teacher to Hitler. I'm not enthusiastic enough for a fight to tell you who in Talossa right now really does behave like Ben Madison, insofar as gaslighting and emotional manipulation, but I'm sure others can chime in.

There you go again making it personal, using my real initials. You yourself have told us that our history is worth reading and learning from.  Looks like I have learnt enough to draw a comparison.

Thing is, the person making it personal here seems to be you. Miestra may be rough in her debating style, but at least the meat of her argument attacks the policies of the opposition.  You, on the other hand, are doing just exactly what you claim her to be doing (though she isn't), and that being focusing your attack on her personality, ad hominem.

Miestra has put forward her argument that she disagrees with certain policies.  Instead of retorting by defending those policies you choose to attack her personality and falsely equate her to our Nation's bogeyman from the past to down her.

I am aware that I am guilty, to a degree, here of playing "tu quoque", but still, and seriously, you might think you are somehow arguing the righteous and admirable position here, but you're just being the exact thing you are claiming to stand against.

I see the hypocrisy.

I just shouldnt have to point it out in the first place. the shoe sure as hell doesn't fit me, somone else will have have to wear it.

I was going to say, I think you have the wrong guy xD

However yes, I will freely admit, I have been a little rough with my language, however, my point still stands, I do think we as a society needs to find a better way to engage.

You don't find me wearing my insult's like a trophy showing how salty about what was said that I'm going to display them for all to see everytime I post.

I agree some people need to be called out on there shit, hence my response. If somone is acting like a famous dictator, ours being King Ben, I feel it's a political point to point it out. However personal attacks are not uncommon here, so much so that so that old Witt had the thunderdome that contained a whole topic about someone calling somone slurs.

But doesn't that's show a fundamental problem within our society? We only respond to hard attacks from each other? Tearing each other down and the country down with it?

Keep going, Alex. Everything you post reminds people of what the calibre of the LCC cabinet will be  ;D

Also, there should be a Witt function that prevents you editing your post after people have already replied to it, to make it look like you were wittier than you actually were.

Keep talking, keep attacking, keep ignoring what I'm saying. You are acting more and more like king ben every day. Thunderdome politics is what's killing talossa, the one thing that people engage in right now, yet all they ever get is being attacked by you if they disagree with you, god forbid anybody having there own views. Once they are tired of it we stop engaging, they stop engaging because somone keeps attacking them. Looking over our history, same happens when someone acts like they are the only voice that matters.

interesting to note that the RUMP still exists (as a mailing list, at least), and that #2 on the "LCC" list for this election is doing his best to motivate a big turnout from them.

Double interesting to note that he is also trying to motivate them to vote down all of the outgoing Government's constitutional reforms for this election - including Non-Hereditary Monarchy, the pride and joy of the LCC founder/leader.

Given the incredibly loose nature of the LCC, in both programme and structure, moderates who might be tempted to vote for Senator Plätschisch as a steady moderate hand might think twice given that the most die-hard reactionaries in Talossa are not only backing him, but will most likely make up most of his cabinet.

It's also distressing to note C. M. Sierviciúl making some cogent arguments against Non-Hereditary Monarchy in his email, which were never made in public. The "political strike" of the RUMP and other conservatives only seems to entail refusing to participate in public politics, to make the Government look bad; it certainly doesn't mean pulling out of politics altogether. I think we need to know if the LCC is a big wooden horse full of RUMP.

Finally, Cresti should check in with AD. If your hammer to hit the Government with is "you're driving down voter turnout", then encouraging a big voter turnout just makes the Free Democrats look god!

lets be honest, you see the LCC as threat. having interacted with you since 2014, when things are not going your way you start your attack. If you welcomed friendly opposition, why would you call out new parties for having members of old ones? I was a member of the Libral congress, yet you don't see that as a problem. we don't frequently call you out for the pengunia and republic crisis, yet you where very much party to it? You don't debate us on election points, you focus on individuals, targeting them. Maybe that's why we are running against you, maybe we are making a stand because we are sick of a senachal that relentlessly targets all those that oppose them. Maybe its because we are witnessing you acting like someone you claim to hate. King ben was well known for crushing opposition that opposed him, relentlessly, causing the the many crisis of his reign. Maybe we are headed for one or even in the miths of it, lower and lower interaction and turn out. Maybe they are leaving or interacting less because they are sick of thunderdome politics.

People in the Chatroom talking about how they didn't even know that the 1994 National Atlas of Talossa existed, or that Vuode Province briefly seceded in 1992.

We need a new Talossan history syllabus for all new citizens to learn.

I know it now xD I read the entire atlas.... And I now see how totalitarian Ben really was. Im glad we now have a such a good monarch!

(If any of Talossa's singers and vocalists fancy recording lyrics for this get in touch!)

It's great, however, I currently don't believe there are enough stanzas in terms of lyrics to fill three minutes.

My Guys, Gals and non-binary pals
It was the 80's since we Talossans stepped foot on our provincial soil. I intend to help organize a trip back to the island so we may re-plant our flag where it belongs. There is a company based out of st malo France that charters boats out to the island for as little as 16 euros a head.
Those who are interested let me know :D
