  1. Unpacking the baggage: Power and privilege on Planet Bob

    in World Affairs (IC)

    Posted · Edited by GodKing I

    Ask yourself this: Is there one alliance affiliation which enjoys the benefits of global influence and prosperity beyond others? Now ask yourself: How did this come to be? Did they reach this lofty position through honest sweat and toil, or did they reach this privileged position atop a mountain of the dead? Throughout the history of Planet Bob, violence has always been a means of seizing power at the expense of the disadvantaged and the disenfranchised. But while many alliances have been content to war only for survival, one has conspicuously used war as a means of subjugation. Whether it was for hearsay or for falsified charges or simply for having the misfortune of holding something they coveted, this alliance has consistently sought to consolidate power for its own sake. It is a fact known beyond dispute on Planet Bob that this power has been universally abused at the hands of the Order to every conceivable extent it could manage. What, then, is Pacifican Privilege?
     
    Pacifican Privilege is being able to exile citizens from Bob permanently and visit genocide upon any people group who violates that exile.

    Pacifican Privilege is not having to worry about having your culture and way of life stripped away at the whim of a bigoted and power hungry foreign official.

    Pacifican Privilege is not having to worry that your nationality will be "revoked" over the neurotic fears of a group of jackbooted warmongers.
     
    We live in a world where the entire population can rise up and denounce the tyranny of the New Pacific Order only for them to turn around and smugly try to play the victim, crying crocodile tears into the ocean of blood at their feet. Blood of citizens of Planet Bob spilled only due to their misfortune of not being Pacifican.

     

    It is time the New Pacific Order recognized and acknowledged their institutionally racist position of power and privilege within Planet Bob, educated their members on the crimes committed in the name of Pacifican "patriotism" - itself a thinly veiled moniker of Pacifican supremacism - and sought to further equality for all citizens of Planet Bob regardless of their alliance affiliation.

     

    Finally, somebody notices! It's nice to be appreciated!

    Dude, the entire thing is beautiful: the tech raider is the victim, Grub is offering money to avoid war, 30mil is extortion.
    I'm just waiting for Schatt to come in and espouse PB's rights. After that we can all just delete our nations, because there will be nothing more to experience.

  9. A Final Announcement from Knight Anarch of the Mushroom Kingdom

    Anarch most certainly is a ghost: he has resigned from the Mushroom Kingdom and made clear his intention to retire from this world in its entirety. The Mushroom Kingdom does not support his recent string of rogue attacks and has pronounced our disapproval of them by having one of our fiercest warriors, Voytek, engage him in combat. We simply have not had the time to revoke his access to our forums.

    You all seem to have the time to spend in here backing a rogue and trying to goad us into something.
    Way to separate yourself... impressive.

    Can't wait to mess up a stagger too, and become a fierce warrior!!!!

    Don't worry, they never attack on the losing side, and they always make you pay it back in reps.

    I wouldn't be surprised if they lost. MHA is no joke, yo.

    MHA has More tech, more nations, More top nations (with a quick glance), and your morale statement is bias.

    Either way discounting MHA just because you think you are better than them is silly.

    Good Lord, get off MHA's hind teat, already...

    We've been willing to engage in 'amicable diplomacy' but your attitude towards some of our ambassadors has made it quite impossible. We have no wish to return until the NPO learns to respect its foreign guests from the Kingdom and I do not think your alliance is capable of such a thing. Keep it closed.

    "respect" is earned. MK ambassadors have done little to earn anything but contempt.

    Tho, I do loooove your sig!

    It's called recovery from the Armageddon RAPErations.

    Hilter and the NPO, finally back together!

    And yet still no evidence presented...Where are our "domineering demands and principles" you speak of so I, too, can jump ship.

  16. Tabloid Tribune #155 | Personal Attacks Edition - by NPO

    The most interesting part of every Tabloid Tribune is the replies full of whining and tears who come with it.

    Most assuredly, this ^

    You know what's coming when you see the title; Tabloid Tribune #155 | Personal Attacks Edition.

    Simply don't read it.

    With all these wonderful responses, it makes us want to write Tabloid Tribune #156 more and more.

    Anyways, I only read it for the pictures (which are d@mn fine BTW).

    The freshly coated white-wash on Mary's barn, really made the 3D pop in UP! However, I wish I sat closer to the computer speakers, as I could only hear when the fat guy in front of me leaned forward!

    Good read Sir Paul! I, too, will join the throngs of those waiting for the all-out personal attack issue! :ehm:

    Damned if you do, damned if you don't!
