We've talked privately, and I've told you that we don't traffic in racism around here.  It's universally condemned and unequivocally shunned.  I'm hoping that you were hasty before, and that this recent controversy reflects this haste and your youth.  I think your resolution to back off, quiet down, and spend some time learning is a smart one.  This is a good first step.

My fellow Talossans,

It has been apparent that my views have caused a stir in the political sphere of this nation, and I didn't expect my views to be that much of an impact on people. Turns out I was wrong. And the catalyst of this is when I admitted to liking Nicholas J. Fuentes, a Gen Z pundit who has faced backlash for his racist and misogynistic comments. I started watching him mainly because I saw snippets of his show on Instagram, and I wanted to find out who this Nick Fuentes guy really was. I was in for a rude awakening. When I listened to his statements, I started to regret finding out this guy even existed. It caused me to lose my good name in the Kingdom, and I had to really reconsider my philosophy.

It is for this reason that I am writing this post to say that I am sorry for following a man who promoted ethnic supremacy and hate. I have never espoused this belief, and I will never espouse it. It would go against my faith, and against my neighbours (you Talossans). I do read the Bible, but I took most of it for granted until recently. I'm kinda glad this happened, because then I wouldn't have received my much-needed condemnation. I hope we can come to terms one day, and if not, that's fine too. At least you know that I regret it all.

Thank you.

Don't anybody let it be forgotten how he sees himself.

A few other options have been raised as part of a broader Democracy Agenda. Here are some I'd like to throw in the pot:

• Water down the Royal veto. You guys know that I love His Maj, despite my republicanism, and I trust him to use his veto wisely. On principle, though, I still don't think it should exist. If I had my way, I'd reduce the Royal veto to the discretion to refer a bill to the CpI for an opinion on its Organicity, for ordinary legislation; and nothing for OrgLaw amendments (in the latter case, the people's vote in referendum should be the only veto).
• Repeal of Organic Law XII.4: "Proposed changes to this Organic Law that affect the representation of a province in the Senäts, or of the territory or equal sovereignty of a province, shall not take effect unless approved by a majority of participating voters in that province." There is already a provision that messing with the Senäts requires a 2/3 majority in the Senäts. This provision requires near-total unanimity in the whole nation to make any changes to the provincial basis of Senäts election. That's more than it would require to fully depower that body. Anti-democracy in action, and unjustifiable on its merits. At least fold this provision into XII.1 so the threshold is the same. OR: perhaps you could just put "the equal representation"?

He looks like he was very loved, we will miss you Prince Oreo

I would also like to update everyone that one of three commissioners has gotten back to me with nothing to report regarding suspicions or irregularities. Hopefully I will also hear back from the other two and wrap up soon.

As of today, December 10, 2025, I have sent in $15 CAN to the Burgermeister for my registration for the Cosa. (Let me know if this doesn't quite cover $10 USD.)

Looks like 15 CAD is 10.90 USD, so it does indeed cover the fee.

I have also received an email from @GV stating he paid his Senate winner's fee, and updated the list accordingly.

I wish I could attend but...

1. I would need to get a visa
2. Invasive border control
3. the US Dept of Homeland Security might require one to show at least five years of your social media history

However I could maybe attent the EU MicroCon.
