You're defining it wrong, to fit your misguided usage of words. Yes. It is a contradiction. Especially when producerism is a far right means of controlling technology, and controlling the producer. You take away the freedom of potential, and national sovereignty, keeping people closer to the state of nature than rising them out of it.
That's nonsense. SnX is a voluntary association of nations, like all alliances. Voluntary associations are fine, they're coercing no one.

How many ISX or LPC members do you think are even aware of this conversation and previous ones like it? How many are competent or interested enough to know what's going on? How much disinformation and propaganda do you think they are fed by their leaders when they are aware of it?
Based on my interactions with Seph and Junka, I can only imagine.
In my experience most rulers in this world not only do not read and rarely if ever post here, they (quite understandably) have no desire to change that in any way.

Maybe. Also whether someone is a member or leader within the LPC depends on the individual and not the alliance.
As always, the LPC accepts both sovereign solos and alliances as members. "Big Tent" remember?
41 minutes ago, Sephiroth said:The LPC can't force rules on member alliances, the LPC exists only as a concept to bring out the best in people and anything resembling a leader of the LPC exists only as much as others want to follow the lead of others. Members don't need to get voted in, they are only members as much as they are perceived to be based on present actions.
The LPC can and, should it become necessary, will enforce within that 'Big Tent' concept. And members, of course, do indeed get 'voted in' in every case. You can vote yourself in as an associate member simply by voting for our candidate. You know all this.
41 minutes ago, Sephiroth said:SNX can never monopolize the LPC their own, at best he show leadership by showing them the right direction. SNX voting for Senators who haven't agreed to Libertarian Manifesto proves they aren't LPC. The LPC is a leaderless movement, where anyone can rise to the moment and help lead people.
The LPC was never an alliance bloc, but purely a political organization. Each SNX Senator would need to agree with the LPC manifesto. SNX voting non-LPC senators at the expense of the last LPC senator losing their seat would prove they have 0 LPC
I reserve the right to revive the LPC under my leadership at anytime if Sigrun and aNiMaLz both give up on the Senate or stop recognizing you as the LPC.
You won't have inherited the LPC just by pushing all LPC senators out. Maybe I'll make it better next time.
Dude. Dude.
Monopolize? I suppose it's possible we all get so sick and tired of this we just join SnX to spite you, but no. That's not even an idea.
Their senators have not assented to the manifesto? What, I'm supposed to hunt them down individually and administer an oath? They have taken an oath to Junka, Junka has to us, you know how things work.
"Purely a political organization" exactly. Pay attention to your own words man. You're the one that tried over and over again to make it more than that and I'm the one that always refused. Now you finally understand? GOOD, GET ONBOARD!

Frankly I have no desire for a senate seat and never have. I had no problem with Methrage being our senator because he listened to me when I said not to sanction. I have no problem with our current senators being SnX members because the same thing. Please go read our manifesto again. We wanted a sphere where independents and small AAs can exist without being treated as designated victims and sanctioned without justification - and we have it.

You may wish to ignore that there has always been more detractors than defenders of the Imperium, especially from those who have left. I have never talked to someone who has left the Imperium who had a positive experience in it.
It might surprise you to learn that those who leave any alliance are more likely to have had issues with it than those who stay. Particularly an alliance like SnX with its intentionally dense and intimidating signup. It's just kind of the way those things generally work. The people that like it the way it is stick around and the people that don't like it as it is leave, ideally to find an alliance more to their taste and move on, rather than feeling the need to post about how bad their previous alliance was constantly.

i still remember when methrage made like 50% of the posts in one of my DoE threads that ended up being very long because -- as usual -- he just wouldn't stop chanting the same inane !@#$%^&* he tends to
As I recall he and reyrey had a running thing of doing that sort of thing back and forth to each other for a long time. But no, it was just him, got it.

You can discuss it all you want but you're talking out your caboose and then asserting your prior access to a non-public thread as backup for it, which is bull. If it really were there you'd be misusing information that you had access to in confidence, but it's doubly bull because that's not actually what happened in the thread!
So don't spout bull if you don't want to be called on it.

You're being selective with the truth there and you know you're.
Except in this case he really isn't.
The oddest thing about this entire line of attack from Sephiroth is that he by his own admission never took the L part of LPCN so seriously. I'm the one that made a workable IC ideology out of it. Yet somehow we're not ideologically pure enough for him anymore. That makes no sense at all.

Yeah that was where I couldn't follow anymore. I used to try to buy tech from them when I was on purple. Looks to me like they are just going for the most inactive targets possible.

We'll continue to disagree on this. I suspect having to fight for their nationhood helps many to solidify their ties to this world, as it did for me.

I'm honestly laughing at how seriously you are taking yourselves right now. Had you taken yourselves more seriously earlier, I would not be laughing, but bygones are bygones, I did not mean to derail your thread, have fun giving up and stuff.

Bullet proof coffee is disgusting, I tried it once and couldn't finish it.
I suppose some people can guzzle coffee all day long and still get a decent night of sleep, I sure can't. I have my last cup before 12 in the afternoon and that's it. I like it black, which is amusing as I live in Asia. Whenever I ask for black coffee, they say, "Americano?" I'm like.. "That's black right?" and they reply, "Americano?" and I'm like, "Black yes?" and they say, "with milk and sugar?" and then I facepalm.
Not sure about Asia but in Europe 'Americano' means a cup of hot water with a shot of espresso dumped in it. Not my cup of tea, if you'll excuse the mixed metaphor. Anyway that explains the retarded conversation. They don't know what black means, they guess you want 'mericano cause you speak English, then they want to know if you want milk or sugar in your coffee-flavored hot water. Try saying 'mericano, neat' maybe the barrista moonlights as a bartender and knows what neat means.
56 minutes ago, Captain Enema said:My buddy's kettle held about 3 or 4 cups if I recall, which would indicate that 3 or 4 teabags was ideal. I find Chinese tea culture absolutely delightful as they put so much effort into it and take so much pride in their tea service and the quality of their tea.
3 or 4 cups is the traditional size but I don't think you need to match that number with teabags, unless you simply must have it both strong and pale.
56 minutes ago, Captain Enema said:Though often I find the chinese tea absolutely gross unless it's a really good green tea.
Lopsang souchang is my favorite chinese tea and it's far from green but I'd imagine it's not hard to find a cheap and horrid tea there as well. Had any good gutteroil lately?

well im assuming that from the sounds of coffee without sugar and stuff its stronger..which would give you that extra boost...so youd think he wouldnt be able to sleep drinking black coffee all day..but he sleeps fine lol.
nothing wrong..i just dont prefer coffee
Sugar doesn't make it weaker, just sweeter, for most people that means easier to drink more.
39 minutes ago, ericsw said:And in america, home of sugar and sweet things, the curry is hotter? I don't believe this
Yeah, actually, not in every case of course but typically I think so. Probably because Mexican food has been breaking that ground for so long. It's still all mild by default but a lot of places have really spicy stuff if you want it these days.

What a load of crap, the 'brits' have a huge asian community and the national dish was recently reported to be the vindaloo
i went to america and even your bread is sweet. Sir, travel a bit before you talk nonsense
I get a great Vindaloo here too, and as Galerion pointed out, Tikka Masala is more popular in the UK. And that's not actually south asian you know, that was invented in Glasgow, though it's sort of in that style. Anyway I had some great asian food in the capital but it was obviously turned down for the local palate, I ordered the extra hot and it was a medium. And when I got out in the country I didn't see anything mildly spicy. YMMV, especially if you're a local and know just where to find the exceptions, of course. And I agree on the sweetness, actually, that's not everyone and everywhere but it's a fair general impression.

I always thought a Mexican restaurant would do good in England I bet there are not many and it seems british people like spice
The Brits may have had enough south asian food to be open to it by now, but I suspect you'd have to tone it down a bit for them unless you were right in the capital. They seemed to be very attached to bland food for the most part. Not that there's anything wrong with that necessarily, meat and tators with a good beer can really hit the spot.
And earlier poster, going to that particular place and expecting good tea... *head asplodes*
I don't even expect a good burger there.

Other alliances may not acknowledge it actively, but that does not change the fact that active politics long ago left the building. Continuing to sit on your hands isn't going to change that simple reality.
The truth is active politics hasn't left the building, you just aren't in on it anymore. Sorry old man.

Yeah not exactly true at the time you said it, but really, so what if it was? It's Legion.
I actually, I hate to admit it but I do have some respect for NSO and ultimately I guess I hope they have a good time.
But I don't respect the move, insofar as it appears to amount to preëmptive surrender.

RIP LPC, those still calling themselves it should disband and create a new bloc which reflects who they are. Maybe some star wars theme.
Although I'm done and my role in this story over. Goodbye.
We are who we always were. I'm sorry you can't believe that we could survive without you.
Give it time, you're always welcome to come back if you'll adjust to reality.

What I am getting at is. If you bring a knife to a gun fight, you send a warning shot at the person, and then decide to talk about a fair/balanced solution; it's not balanced or fair to the other party.
It may work better, and I'm not disagreeing with you. All I'm saying is that it can't by the very definition be balanced, and fair when someone is lording more strength/nukes over you.
If you bring a knife to a gun fight and send a warning shot with it you're better with a knife than I am.
Seriously, I find that people are much more serious about negotiating when there is a (metaphorical) gun to their head. In fact probably the quickest way to produce a fair and balanced peace treaty is to put a gun to both parties heads simultaneously. If there is no such motivation, many people will simply waste your time with mockery rather than negotiating in earnest.
And I disagree with the notion that the circumstances make the outcome inherently unbalanced. The balance of the outcome is not dependent on the way it is arrived at.
