Nakarisaune wrote:Statement from the Minister of Foreign Affairs

We were recently made aware of a government official in the LCRUA making anti-Semitic jokes, and facing no punishment for it. The same government official had previously made similar comments (which we were unaware of), and their punishment, even then, was minimal, and had to be insisted upon by our ally, the Rejected Realms. Their behaviour does not seem to have changed, and the LCRUA does not seem interested in changing their behaviour. The LCRUA also has no problem with the use of anti-LGBT slurs. Additionally, the LCRUA holds embassies with the USSD, and their server welcomes Attero, both blacklisted in the wider NationStates community.

The South Pacific has values including strong opposition to hateful ideologies, maintaining an area welcoming to all, and a commitment to the safety of our members. Unfortunately we do not believe the LCRUA shares these values, and therefore we will be withdrawing our embassy and ambassador.

I can assure you that - no matter who the official was, they meant no harm to anyone. If anyone was offended, they could've asked for a case. This has happened before, someone was offended by people's comments about Nazi Germany and Jews, and they called a case on them. It was and still is, legal according to the rules of our discord and constitution. Nobody in our government is homophobic, or hating of anyone in the LGBT+ community. The situation you have seen, was most likely a joke, and not meant to harm anyone.

I request that we don't make a big deal out of this, and I wish to see these incidents of bad behavior.

We and the LCRUA also don't seem to share the same sense of humor, then.

I suppose the request has been cancelled?

My main question is, why did such a thing turn up so suddenly? I can't recall a single instance of a true hateful outburst by one of our members, whether it be anti-LGBT (of which we are not), or anti-Semitic (of which we also aren't).

Yet, even if they are not truly believed, anti-Semitism and anti-LGBT sentiments seem to be jokes to this region, according to the Discord server. The South Pacific doesn't really find them funny. We don't think our barely-existent relationship with the LCRUA merits ignoring our own values. The decision has been made.

-serious snip-

Not sure what you're smoking, chief, but I want it, and I want lots of it /s

Jokes aside, I do wonder where and when this joke occurred, because a simple keyword search warrants no results of such a thing since the 24th of December, where one of our members, not government officials, made a remark saying "Your holy jewness", which can hardly be considered offensive given the context.

Apart from that, I see one more occurrence, which was made by somebody who isn't even a member. Get your facts straight?

Or perhaps don't use unreliable sources.

And if you really are referring to the incident that happened over half a year ago, then you should perhaps check your eyesight. There has been a court case filed based on that, and said person, the only one who fits both the description of past offender and current gov't official, has been punished. An offence followed by retribution, normal.

Speaking of our behaviour, no one can warrant what people say and do, HOWEVER... We already use a slur filter on the server, one that censors MANY racist or anti-LGBT insults, so that argument of yours is completely moot. Or perhaps I should say it's a lie? I dunno. You decide, with your high and mighty attitude.

Really, trying to hold this holier-than-thou poise is borderline irritating, especially if it's so misinformed and/or misguided. But that brings me to the final point: I bet the real reason why the embassy is closing is because the folks over at your side are still salty over something Attero did whoever-the-hell-cares how long ago. I mean, fair. Do as you please. But hey, if you're so petty as to close an embassy due to an opening another that contains one person you can't get over... your loss, I guess?

It's just a game, for the love of everything.

P.S.: Don't forget to add me on your silly blacklist now that I've spoken my mind. It's not like I care. Regardless of his past, Attero is a nice person.

Executive Order
The Free Nations Region is closing embassy with The LCRUA. We have found evidence of their government officials supporting and using Anti-Semitic comments in their public discord channel.

The Free Nations Region doesn't tolerate any ideology that promotes hatred for a specific community.

Finally, didn't have to keep us waiting for so long :)
Send my best regards to your GCR pals and Lenlyvit. They sure don't need context nearly as much as we value it, so it'll be better this way. ^^

P.S.: Misinterpreting and assuming things was always your forte, but supporting antisemitism? That's rich coming from you, the great truth bender~

P.P.S.: You're quite lucky that I'm in a good mood, because otherwise, I'd suppress such an outlandish claim immediately.

Anyone can tell who is misinterpreting things here. I don't care about your mood. You will just show your diplomacy by suppressing my post. /s
Edit: I have screenshots to back my claims. You have done a great job to ban me from your discord before i could make those screenshots public.

You have enough evidence to make an allegation. None of the messages prove in any way that we support, condone or oppress this or that. A joke is, by definition, something that is said to amuse, and it is not meant seriously. People have different tastes of humour. I make jokes at the expense of everyone regardless of their race, religion or gender, including (and mostly) myself. And that's just fine, just like it's just fine to never make any kind of controversial jokes. By default, that by itself doesn't hold water as an argument, let alone an allegation.

On the other hand, there's plenty of proof that we're not aversive towards any kind of person - throughout the history, we had Muslims, gays, Orthodox, lesbians, Afro-Americans or transgender folks, and I don't remember one single person that would leave because we weren't accepting of them. However, ask around and it'll be clear that most people are leaving because of petty drama that, how coincidental, YOU keep instigating.

My diplomacy is my own, and it's not the same as the region's. I've made clear numerous times that I would gladly end problems swiftly and effectively, but I never did it before now. This was the final straw. As we were minding our own business, you kept creeping into our sphere trying to stir problems undercover. No one's patience is that forgiving.

And I have done a great job upholding my word of being benevolent and never using my authority unless absolutely necessary, because I believe that people can redeem themselves and start anew if you give them a second chance. Since you trodded on your second chance and left it in the mud in the name of personal revenge, there was no other choice.

I have found evidence that Party A is trying to destroy the reputation of the region by spreading slightly offensive jokes that I made and saying the entire region is like this. But aren't they part of the region aswell?

Contact me on discord if you have any questions. I won't stop trying to reverse the damage they have done.

Freed europe (Nierut) sent the link to this RMB to me through Olgea's discord, I thought the post about the closing embassies for the Anti-Semetic thing was a joke.

Big oof.

Do you think it is justified?
