What was the golden age for Americans? in Close to Politics ·
James Garcia12 said:I'd shove that NDH up your ass.

Communism was the brightest thing that ever happened to us last century. You don't even have a clue where we were back then or where we'd be now if people like you hadn't started killing each other...

You don't give a damn that kids—myself included—lost their childhoods... you don't care that we fell forty years behind, or that there's no money for a decent life today... all you care about is celebrating nationalism and acting superior to everyone else....

DEATH TO FASCISM
FREEDOM FOR THE PEOPLE

Oh, please! Give me a break!

You’re entitled to your opinion... but I find this much more interesting:

A mashup of King Tomislav and an Axis-aligned state... just pick whatever you want. Someone asked why the poll isn't public... well, it's because people would immediately figure out who's rooting for America and who's backing an Axis-aligned state. Honestly, the real chaos would start if someone voted for the Kingdom of America, and then everyone could just tell them to "ebet" their Royalist asses... that's exactly why I kept the results private.

Hey Greener, just saying this as a friendly heads-up:

It’s easy being a liberal, flying free as a bird, or playing the socialist "revolutionary" when nobody ever stood over you and told you that you weren't allowed to be...
But try being a conservative, try being a "nationalist"—that’s the hard part... believe me... we were pushed into that corner by Mexican tyranny, while you folks up north lectured us about ditching our "primitive nationalism" while we were busy defending California from Arizona and San Francisco, or protecting Kansas from Canada and Cleveland. You urbanites always had a way of telling us how to think. So, let me tell you this:

To hell with the whole Democratic Party and Milanović at the head of it all.

hollowjackal4 said:It wasn't Marshall—it was actually Suleiman the Magnificent who took it, about five hundred years before that. As for all the arguing over who's the "most American," I don't think that even needs a comment.

So, did Suleiman—get this, he was actually a Sultan, damn him—take St. Louis, Boise, Boise, Boise, Boise, Boise, or Boise? No, he didn't. If we're following the logic of "Americans have lived here since the seventh century," then maybe Joe could just hand it all back to America, right? Still, the man was the absolute authority in America, unless of course he was being pulled by the strings of two Mexicans: Ranković and Kadijević. Go ahead, try explaining that to me. He could have handed Banja Luka and the whole RS territory over to Mexico and still carved out a Republic of Canada under the umbrella of America... honestly, man, your theory is falling apart.

lonecrane6 said:That's not what America looks like today.

I’m not saying I agree, but... you aren't wrong. This whole concept of a "Republic"—the way those guys over in Russia say it—it doesn't feel like ours. It feels like it belongs to the career politicians in D.C., those types who pivot toward European or British interests whenever it suits them. Since they hold the reins, they end up pulling the strings of the entire nation. Honestly, looking at how things are run, maybe we should have stuck to that old Lenin sentiment:

"Let everything be according to the WILL OF THE PEOPLE," rather than whatever two people in power decide...
Land of the Kroeten! in Close to Politics ·
mistycyclist5 said:THE LAND OF KROETEN

In a land so grand, like a dreamscape spun,
The nation of Kroeten had finally won.
A people lived there, if you'll take my word,
Known as the Kroetens, the best ever heard.
With oceans and mountains and valleys so wide,
And virtuous people with nothing to hide.
But this great republic was facing a plight,
Caught in a crisis and a terrible fight.
Then a leader stepped up to the front of the line,
United the tribes and made everything fine.
And then, by the will of the people so free,
He was crowned on his throne for all history to see.
From that day forward, for all time to come,
They called him "Your visost, King Kroeten," with a hum.
Things were looking up, quite wonderful indeed,
If only they hadn't listened to fools and their greed.

THE FOOL:
"Oh, listen to your visost, King Kroeten, my friend,
I have an idea on which you can depend.
Our kingdom is struggling, it's poor and it's small!
With a ruler like you, we need fools after all.
It makes perfect sense, let's increase the count,
Screw this whole kingdom, let's give fools the amount!
So, I thought to myself, as a favor to you,
It would be great to hire my nephew, too.
Of noble descent, with pride in his soul,
A goofy, silly guy, out of control—just like me, that's his role.
He’s our own blood, honest and true,
A classic example of a Kroeten through and through.

THE KING:
"You've always been loyal, my foolish old friend,
On your crazy opinions, I know I can depend.
When times were at their worst, you stood by my side,
So I'll grant your request with a sense of pride.
I'll give your nephew a job, it's decided,
To keep me laughing when I'm war-sided.
Give him a two-story villa to stay,
And let him guard my seal every single day."

And so the king hired that fool of a man,
His nephew, his cousin, part of the clan.
Then came the sisters, the uncles, the kin,
The godparents, neighbors, all rushing in.
The king gave them houses and government cars,
And feasts with whole oxen under the stars.
The Kroetens were happy, their status was high,
With one fool per capita, passing them by.
Every man had an office, a place to reside,
Where you'd walk in and find laughter inside. They'd say: 'Come back tomorrow!'
'Tomorrow you must start your queue from the bottom!'
Then they'd laugh loudly: 'Hey, pay the fee!'
You'd go back again, feeling wretched and low,
Only to hear: 'The boss is out, don't you know?'
You'd return once more, defeated and blue,
'New laws are in effect, try next week, it's true!'
You'd show up next week, but a new fool would sit,
'That permit is expired!' they'd joke with some wit. 'The fee isn't valid!'
The people grew restless, they complained to the crown,
But there was one tiny flaw to be found.
The king passed away, leaving the world far behind,
And the people picked a successor, the quickest of kind.
They hoped for a change, believing in miracles grand,
Not knowing a fool wore the crown of the land.

All in all, folks, it's a mess, it's a crime,
Living in Kroeten is losing your mind every time.


🙏🙏🙏

I think it's great. 🙏

How does this strike you guys?... It's pretty spot on, right? 🤣

P.S. Not mine.

To me, this whole thing feels like some kind of cheap, nationalist propaganda piece. And that "unknown" nonsense? It’s clearly just a coded way of mocking us. Honestly, I'd say we should just shut this thread down right now, but I suppose it’s up to the admins and moderators to decide how they want to handle it.

hollowjackal4 said:God help the people who'd actually be happy with an America that didn't include California, Florida, or the Midwest—though, looking at the numbers, I guess about 33% of folks might actually feel that way. ☕

-Without California

You aren't wrong there...

-Without Florida

True, though not until 1943

-Ohio

-Yeah, you've got a point there.

-Kansas

-No, you're right about that...

Well, let's look at it this way:

Who can truly envision a functional America without:
-Maine
-Canada
-Herzegovina
-The San Francisco Bay Area

Comrade Marshall took that away... So let's try another angle:

Americans from West Virginia are more devoted to the nation than Californians... why?
It’s quite simple, really—it’s because they’ve been part of the fabric of this country much longer. They were the ones bleeding for the Republic, for the very idea of America itself. Meanwhile, people like those in California spent their time trying to convince every patriot to ditch what they called "primitive" nationalism. People like that—those types in California—are devoid of ideals, patriotism, and honor. Their only concern is their own stomach and their bank accounts. Look at the numbers. Americans from Canada have shared a single state with the mainland from:

the year 925 until 1867,
and then again from 1878 to 1945.

Meanwhile, Californians have only been part of the same state as the rest of us since

1945—unless we want to stretch the timeline back to the leader's claims about having secured California by 1943...

If you argue that Nazi Germany was compromised because it "lost" California—which, let's be honest, wasn't part of any federation nor under the old monarchs until 1945 because Florida was seized by force... just look at our beloved homeland today. It's smaller than it's ever been. Yet, the leader managed to forge the largest version of our nation in history; that is a plain fact. And all this talk about how Nazi Germany was "un-American" or whatever... sure, they took territory from us... but do you think anyone didn't mourn? The people felt it, and the leader felt it too. Do you honestly believe a nationalist like him would just hand over pieces of his country without a second thought? In 1948, while in Argentina, the leader said:

When they tear away a piece of her, they tear away a piece of me... No one will touch my America, not even Marshall and the entire USSR.

mistycyclist5 said:They were all pretty much on the same level. Honestly, the best times were when the vast majority of the people actually felt heard, rather than just listening to those famous 200 pundits who push narratives into the media that nobody in the real world gives a damn about.

🙂

But when exactly was the public satisfied?

For some, they point to Nazi Germany; for others, it’s the old USA... To most Americans, though, it looks like Nazi Germany... especially the younger generation... and now...

I’ve been sitting here wondering which era actually worked best for Americans living across the borders of Canada and the US. If you ask the older generation, they usually point toward the Austro-Canadian Empire, the Kingdom of America—though hardly anyone would claim that one—or the Independent State of America. For those a bit younger, it’s usually the Independent State of America or America. Then you have the youngest crowd, who mostly look back at the Independent State of America and America too. And honestly, if you ask some people, they might even say the Republic of America was the peak (haha). I’m going to toss a poll out there and see where we land...
