Political Opinions / Re: The Federated Commonwealth (FedCom)
« on: March 17, 2008, 07:58:28 PM »
That temporary ban cut me off from posting the last thing I wanted to say.  I think now is a good time to finally say it, and finish my short stay on this pointless forum:

I let you live long enough to state your case and defend yourself. Now you're fast becoming an annoying asshole. If you cannot state your case and defend it on its merits (which WILL be tested here) without insulting -veiled or otherwise- my regular members; then move on, or I will ban you from the site permanently.
. . .
 There will be no further warnings.
"Your" regular members waltz in and insult me, insult my culture, insult my allegiances, insult my nation, and insult my people, and you have the nerve tell me I can't return the favour to these assholes?  Pot, Kettle, Black.

You are just like most forum admins: a fat-headed hypocrite with a personal double-standard on a power trip, complete with a chip on your shoulder the size of the Dead Sea.


Taking into consideration the minds and brainpower registered on this site, your loss would be HUGE.
As huge as a bacterium, perhaps, with comparable mental capacity. 
I have seen no evidence that there is anything but condescending, patronizing, self-aggrandizing, I'm-13-and-angry-at-my-father nerds on this site.


The loss to you would be much larger than the loss of you, FedCom d00d.
Oh, I'm in tears at the thought of saying goodbye... really.  :roll:


On the contrary.  I'm a moderator on this forum.  Reality is by definition up to me and those like me here.
Inflate the ego some more, why don't you?


...you skinhead mudak.
Capitalist dog.



I choose to laugh at your foolishness, and I believe you are fools.
We don't like your ill-thought-out plans and we don't want them.
You're still here? :roll:
I think I have seen all this stupid forum and the idiots that reside within it have to offer.  I must say that it is indeed the worst, most pathetic forum and crowd that I have ever seen.

I have no reason to stay here, and will happily wrap up this circus.  If, by any chance, anyone actually wants to ask a few intelligent questions, there are forum and email links on FedCom's website.


If it makes you jackasses feel better, ban me (again).  I have said my peace, and you people have chosen not to listen.  I did not come here to be the object of your petty amusement, nor am I interested in joining your pathetic little geek community.

It is clear that you nerds are perfectly happy to fuss with your pocket protectors and argue about utter nonsense while congratulating each other on the size of your e-penises.
I shall leave you idiots, and when you are still indulging in your immature hacker fantasies, throwing online birthday parties, talking about music, daydreaming, and having wet dreams about the newest MP3 players and X-box games, I will be fighting hard for freedom, safety, and self-determination.

You apathetic hypocritical retards are not the kind of people I would want to work with anyway, so I bid this forum farewell.  Goodbye, and good riddance to the lot of you.  :-D

And why is your motivational speaker MIA, pray tell?
Computer trouble.  His laptop was on its last legs.


Step up, young man.  You can do better than that.  Be honest for a change.
Okay, you people asked for it...


...and boast a 14% minority of Africans in a nation on African soil.  Then you name your capital city after an icon of white supremacy.

You're either a liar or the biggest goddam idiot ever.
I cannot count those who have not taken an oath of citizenship, dumbass.

Norse mythology is NOT an icon of white supremacy.  FedCom does not have a racist problem, unlike you American bastards and your KKK terrorist pets.


Can I vote?
On what?  FedCom politics? 
Not unless you earn your citizenship, of course.  :roll:

To wrap up some stuff:

I wanted to ask him which caste he put himself in.
Warrior.  It's what I am at heart.


ok... he's back in. Have fun!
You didn't have to do that.  I can see that nobody is interested around here.


And I wish you the best of luck fighting jungle warfare, it sucks. Take it from a true (former) soldier.
I know it sucks, and expect the mission to be harsh and dangerous.  But thanks for the wish of luck.  :-)


...Racist/white supremacist underpinnings...
That is utter horse shit.


Hey, dude! Say something in FedComish!
It's being called "Valhallic" now, and you have already seen some in our forum's header.
Your question has also been answered.


...your forums are still pretty slow.
With a half-dozen citizens, what do you expect?  At least we have more than most other micronations; the majority of them are stuck with a population of one.

So you are a recruiter, then? I should point out that if you are, you suck at it.
I do.  :-(
Our best motivational speaker is MIA right now, so I had to fill in.  We're trying to double the citizen count by this summer.  That's why I came here.  It was just the next community on the tour...

Maybe if we change direction a bit:



How many people here think their government is corrupt and beyond repair?  :-)

You can admit that you were looking for money.

I see there are none to be found here.

So, you're not really committed then.
Committed to the cause, yes. 
Compulsive and impatient, no.

What makes you believe that you can export your style of governance to another part of the world?
Because we can, and will stop at nothing to be successful. 
Beyond that, nothing.


I'd love to know which existing nation is going to allow you to change their borders without bloodshed. -- You've potentially addressed this indirectly as you've stated that you intend to succeed from a nation and fight the good fight until you prevail.  I just want to make sure that you intended to convey that message.
None.  We hope to avoid conflict, but we know our history, and expect things to turn out that way.
"Hope for the best; plan for the worst."  (Not one of our mottos, but true enough.)


You don't give a shit about the people of Africa.  You never have.  All you're looking for is land on the continent to claim as your own so that you can build your stupid communist utopia.
Then what is this whole topic?  A maskirovka?  If I didn't give a shit about the people of Africa, I would never have posted.


Your comment regarding what makes FedCom a real nation was weak at best.
 . . .
Isn't it nasty of me to point out that you're a weak debater?
I admit that debate is not my strong suite.  I am an engineer and a soldier.  I never wanted to turn this topic into a debate: YOU did that.


What is the purpose of presenting your original post here on geekforum.org?  You claim it wasn't SPAM.  What was the purpose, then?
A probe.  I was curious to see if there was anybody on this community who was interested in micronations and new nation projects, and who would be interested in dropping by our forums to ask some intelligent questions. 
Sadly, I seem to be mistaken.  There is no intelligent life here...


I assume that since you're part of the 'population' of FedCom, you've given up your citizenship within the United States and that you're currently here on a Green Card or some other type of Visa.  Would that be correct?
No, I am not here on a Visa or Green Card, and I have not formally renounced my US citizenship, because I have not yet visited a US Consulate on foreign soil to do so.  That is one of the first things I shall do after stepping into Africa, though.


Why is your top level domain that of the country Nauru?  If you're recognized as a nation, certainly you would have your own top level domain, right?
".CO.NR" is a domain hosting company, very much like ".CO.UK" is.  It does not mean FedCom's website is hosted in Nauru.  In fact, the domain just redirects to the website, which is actually hosted on Freewebs at the moment.

So what?  We're thrifty, and the website is a low priority right now.  We see things like this: we could either blow our wages on a paid host, or we spend them on vital supplies and equipment that serve a purpose in the real world.  It's not much, but every little bit helps.

The TLD we have chosen is ".FC", which IS unclaimed.  But the ISO will not give that up until FedCom is recognized and listed by the UN as a sovereign nation.  Since we are not recognized, they refuse to let us have it.  We are a patient people, and will get it eventually...


And, finally, why do you persist?
Good question...

Does your failure to address my other points constitute concession of those points?
Not at all. 
I already pointed out that owning a title to the land is not a requirement to claiming the land.  In fact, throughout history, a new nation is almost always created from land that another government had already claimed.

FedCom's permanent population does currently reside within our defined territory, but there is nothing in the Convention that says a population must reside within the defined borders.  Of course, this is a point we aim to rectify as soon as possible.  Most of our citizens will have relocated to our African territory within a few years...

Both of your points assume that FedCom recognizes the Montevideo Convention as law (when we clearly never signed it).  Quoting the Convention is merely an easy way of making a point, since it is a well known and widely accepted document.  Technically, FedCom is not a party to any international treaties or organizations, and is not bound to any of them or so-called "international law".  Yet, at the same time, as a prospective member of the international community, we respect as many of these conventions and laws as possible.


The more you type, the more like a barbarian you sound. In fact, you're starting to sound eerily LIKE the barbarian America that forced the Ojibwe up into Canada.
Nonsense.  You are using scare tactics.
We have no intention of forcing any natives anywhere.  Our offer to the locals is simple: join our project and reap the rewards, or keep living as you currently are and we will leave you in peace.  No strings are attached.

We are not imperialist conquerers, but if you don't want to listen to that, you don't have to.  You can remain ignorant and wrong if you like.

Please identify the treaty whereby FedCom acquired the land they claim as their own.
Please identify the treaty whereby Kosovo acquired the land they claim as their own. 
   They didn't: they just lived there long enough to call it "their land", then sent a declaration of independence when they got sick of Serbia's attitude.

FedCom has always planned to follow a similar route: move in, build, live in peace, and tally up the grievances and arguments we have with what we call the "host nation".  Then, when we can't stand the host's demands any longer, and we have the military power to hold our ground, we send our own declaration of independence, and brace for the fallout.  And just for the record, we are not trying to copy Kosovo (I just use it as a recent example of how a new nation can be made); technically, the goal of FedCom sovereignty is older than the Baltic Wars that spawned the current situation with Kosovo.  And yes, FedCom does support their independence, since Serbia voided the social contract when they attacked the Albanians living there.

There is MUCH more than that, but that is the smallest a stripped-down summary can get.


To answer your question:
   Since FedCom has not yet delivered a declaration of independence, such a treaty has not been written yet.


I suppose the Louisiana Purchase, the purchase of Manhattan, and Alaska - among others - were wastes of money, then?
I said "Somebody does not have to buy rights to the property first". 
A purchase CAN be a means to expand territory, but it is NOT a means to create a new nation.  Buying the land beforehand is just a waste of time, since a private land purchase is little more than a lease from the local government. 
Owning land grants you no legal basis for justifying secession.


Oh good, so SOMEBODY's agreement is necessary. :lol:
No, it isn't.  Recognition as a sovereign state is not required for a state to exist as such. 
Every nation on the planet could suddenly say that North Korea is not a nation, yet it will remain a de facto sovereign state.  That fact cannot change with mere words.

Which is it? Are you going to be sheltered from the deep shit? Or are you wading right out into the middle of it, like a the "real heroes" you're making yourselves out to be?
Our nation's borders are sheltered from the violence by several other nations who are not part of the fighting.  The safe evacuation of refugees from these areas is also a top priority.

To put it in the simplest way, we intend to escort the refugees from the war zones to safety in our new nation, saving their lives and giving them new hope.

The offer is open and free: the refugees can choose to make the journey or stay in danger: it is their choice alone.  We are NOT barbarian Americans prodding the natives at gunpoint along a bloody trail in a forced march!  We want to give these people a second chance at life.  For those who relocate, FedCom will offer citizenship, suitable residence, sustenance, and employment in a trade of their choice.  They will have the opportunity to participate in our nation.  If they decide not to participate and help FedCom grow, they will simply be shown the way to our neighbor; there is nothing compelling them to stay in FedCom if they do not wish to.

Your understanding is a mere delusion, and you have no idea how prepared or dedicated we are.


Your ridiculous topic couldn't be considered "serious" by any thinking person.
Regardless, it is serious, and was presented as an informative announcement.  Your agreement is unnecessary, and does not change reality.


Did you READ any of the posts in this forum before vomitting up a thread like this?
I did, and have yet to find anything on this forum at least half as intelligent as this topic.

Getting tied to a tree and being disemboweled by an opposing tribe is actually a very honorable way to die in some cultures.
And I suppose you think being raped by 20 men before they disembowel you is an honorable tradition...


I CAN do something about the injustice, but is certainly isn't supporting a nation that doens't exist that lays claim to land it does not own.
Per requirements laid down by the Montevideo Convention, FedCom IS a real nation.  Foreign recognition is NOT a prerequisite to nationhood, and most nations do not actually own the land within their borders: their citizens do.  National borders are created through treaties, usually preceded by military action.  Somebody does not have to buy rights to the property first: a government takes it, and if they can defend it, it is theirs.


I don't feel sorry for anyone. Pity is a useless emotion that only encourages stupidity and wallowing.
Agreed; pity is useless and makes a person weak, but most people are more emotional.


I don't eat MacDonald's. I think MacDonald's is poison no one should put in their bodies.
Good.  Too bad more Americans don't agree with you... 
I have boycotted the trash they serve at McDonald's for many years.


And I don't support large, international, capitalistic, culture-forcing, machine industries, since they crush local agriculture and economies.
Neither do I. 
If you think FedCom is a capitalist nation, you could not be further from the truth.  We are egalitarian socialists.  Even though we do not agree with their philosophy, communists make better friends than greedy self-centered capitalists.

I don't give a flying rat's ass about the 'existing governments'. And you are NOT out to protect those settlements, so DON'T try to feed me that shit. If you were out to protect them, you'd leave them the hell alone, and stay the hell off their land!
Then who would stop the rebels when they come to burn their villages, rape the women, murder the men, and kidnap the children to be forced into servitude as sex slaves or child soldiers, eh?
In northeast Congo, the women spend every night hiding in the banana trees groves to keep from being raped.  They are afraid to sleep in their own homes.  Rape is a weapon of war in this area.

I suppose people like YOU want these things to continue indefinitely.  "Oh, it's not our war...  We can't intervene, so we'll just let them get tied to a tree and disemboweled...  We'll watch it on CNN, but since we can't do anything about the injustice, we'll just feel sorry for a minute, then go to McDonald's for a Big Mac." 

And you speak about what is right and wrong...  :x

Do you have any idea of what type of bloody wars have been fought for years in these countries?
Yes, we are well versed in the history of the region.  The Great African War is one of the reasons why we decided to go to Africa.

The territory we have selected is sheltered from these hot spots, and such activity serves to divert attention away from our activities.  At the same time, we will be close enough to provide assistance to the locals, and evacuate the refugees to safety.

We have been ironing out the details and reviewing the plan for years.  We know what we are doing, and accept the risks.

After your link is deleted, we'll debate the merits of your plea.
What is wrong with the link?  It goes directly to our website; it is not an advertising ploy.  It was provided for convenience only.

All it takes for evil to prevail is for good men to do nothing.
Which is why we are doing this: to stop the fighting and create at least one small corner of Africa that can finally know peace.



Obviously western style government doesn't work there.
In my view, the bigger the bureaucracy, the more corrupt and inefficient it is.
FedCom is not a Western-style government, and we agree that bureaucracies are to be avoided at all costs.



Is he really suggesting making the entire contintent of Africa one single nation?
Absolutely NOT. 
FedCom is a new nation project: a separatist project.  Globalization is furthest from our intent.



One nation will not help the tribal warfare that is waged in Africa.
Of course not, but a new nation can provide a refuge for those who want to be free from the unending bloodbath.



It's fixed now.
There was certainly no need to mock the link or my nation. (link removed)

If this board will not accept external links, go to Google and search for "FedCom".  Our website appears on the first page: option seven, the last time I checked...

AFRICA

A continent that has been neglected, abused, pillaged, and exploited by the rest of the world for centuries of history. A dozen wars burn across the continent, dictators sack their own nations, millions starve and die of disease each year, and the rest of the world is content to look the other way. Shame on them.

International aid shipments are seized by corrupt governments before they can reach those in need. Humanitarian groups can only do so much, and the good they manage to do is rarely permanent. Some groups have even gone so far as to write off Africa as a lost cause, and give up.

FedCom refutes that sentiment. Ours is the ONLY micronation intent on building the world's first modern civilization in this forsaken land; to give the neglected people of Africa a chance for prosperity. We envision a new nation, on par with that of the most developed nations in existence today, which could lead the rest of Africa out of the slums of the third world.

Powerful as that vision is, we cannot do it alone: we need the strength to make a difference. We have the plan and the vision: we just need the means to bring it to life.

If you find this interesting and would like more information, or would like to contact the FedCom government, please take a moment to visit our website.
