The birth of fascism can pretty much be summed up by saying a socialist realized the flaws in socialism. =P

True that but I'm gonna go a little deeper.

Also, I've always talked natsoc germany as national socialist as many other people do too.It's afterall the most widely known and recognized form of it, the "official" definition of it.

But that's not true.

Better educated folks will know that National Socialism existed way before the NSDAP in the 18th century.Iy was cultivated by germanic people and included the basis of strong Nationalism, collectivism and Anti-Capitalism.When Hitler joined the existing german workers party he slowly transformed national socialism to Hitlerism, it's most know and extreme form.

Hitlerism included such things as:Lebensraum (living space for germans through invasion=bread), Anti-Semitism, The Racial doctrine and Fuhrerptinzip (Hitler as the top of the pyramid)Hitlerism was also very anti-Intellectual and atheoretical.Preferring violence and blind loyalty over wisdom and theory.Fascism too had a somewhat ambivalent attitude to Intellectuals as it was a movement based on action.Mussolini however saw the Importance and Value of wise men, scholars, teachers, scientists and it can be said that Fascism was much more warm towards those with brains than Hitlerism and they gained important social positions.

Even here ons ns, quite a few of us are university students, teachers or professors.In the end it doesn't matter who or what you are.If you're a Fascist that's enough.

This is just getting ridiculous...
C'mon people, let's talk a bit eh ?

Anything goes, I marked FE both casual AND serious for a reason.
Let's start by asking how is everyone doing ?

I bileave that nuclear energy is the future. While other forms of clean energy are good, they are to expensive and inky produce a fraction of the energy that nuclear power plants produce. I thank you Neu Tyrol for your services.

Noticed this a bit late but Comrade Neu tyrol's second term has come to an end.
New elections are held Immediately after the current poll ends, all who want to sit on the honorary chair of Wa-Delegate and to be the Face of Fifth Empire should join the competition.
Thanks to Neu tyrol for two good terms of spreading our will to international levels !

I thank you all for the privilege to serve, and I am ready to hand off the prestigious office of WA delegate to another person, who has proved himself worthy of the positiom.

That's too pessimistic.
All we have to do is radically increase the amount of carbon sinks, implement eco energy more and more, make electric cars a viable option, engourage recycling and keep an eye out for the pollution levels of big corporations/businesses and that they follow any environmental regulations.
It's true that Earth is getting too small for us, I strongly believe that humanity should start colonizing other planets ASAP.Luna and Mars are good to begin with.If i remember correctly NASA did have a plan to send living humans to mars in ~2021
h*ll, I would be the first one to sign up for colonization efforts, can you believe the feeling of actually standing on the soil of another planet ? something that humankind has dreamt for hundreds of years ? to be part of the century that humans first went to the stars ?

It's not pessimistic, I'm fairly sure they've already said the Earth was screwed and there was nothing we could do to save it now, that it was too late to do anything meaningful, and short of human extinction it wasn't happening. Certainly not when you have countries like China who pollute so much you have to wear a medical mask just to walk the dog. I wonder if their dogs have to wear masks too?

And NASA? Ha, they couldn't even afford to send another man to the moon, let alone Mars. Not with their current funding.

'Murica is too busy funding illegal wars and maintaining their military advantage to care about the future of the human race as a whole. Besides that, rampant, unchecked capitalism like America and China practice has allowed Globalization to ensure companies can simply move elsewhere at a whim, destroying the job market and economy of their host country to save their profits.

Which is exactly the kind of hissy fit they'd throw if environmental measures reached a certain tipping point that shareholders can't afford those 7 Lamborghini's they recently ordered.

If no one runs for WA Delegate within 48 hours then Neu Tyrol- if he so wishes- will roll as our WA representative for another term.

China is a bit contradictory bc while it's without a doubt top of the list when it comes to pollution but also the leading developer of ecological solutions and is actively fighting the rise of global temperature and doing its best to fix its environment.Look it up in news, I'm sure you'll find mcuh about it.
I'm pretty sure Russia too is rerouting much of it's budget to arms development and military, not to mention those scandals where companies in russia dumped their toxic wastes into the baltic sea *cough* *cough*
Besides, the enviromental problesm we face globally are not just tied to the rise of temperature.

Loss of Biodiversity, Acidification, Ozone Layer Depletion (recovering), Eutrophication, Desertification, Biomagnification of toxics and heavy metals, water pollution etc..Luckily I just happen to live in that part of the world where enviromental issues are under control and the environment is being actively taken care of.Unfortunately, we can't do anything to the fallout that comes from china, it has to be solved there.

We ( as in humans ) have done good things too, let's take a look shall we ?

In addition to these some bigger and older , wise decisons that humans made was to ban the use of DDT and CFC's.

And in the case that Neu tyrol wishes to continue all Wa-nations are expected to endorse him, especially our new arrivals.
To quarantee that mr.tyrol's wish is respected, force might be used to ensure his reign as the WA-delegate

No force will be used, my reign is over and I am handing over the reigns to the Leventian Council.

Well this is a surprise for everyone. Even me. I have little notion on what is occurring, but I must state this is quite odd.
