Genuine comment/question. I don't know the situation in December that happened? I took a break from the site for a bit because of school so I'm a little out of the loop. Could anyone explain?Mr. SweetAsNuts ran to become prime bimbo after saying that democracy wasn’t flourishing. It caused a lot of arguments in the forum from November onwards. If you search in the forums “democracy” and then “manifestos” you can see Miss Bimbos posts about the matter and then the manifestos that were posted by the candidates that wanted to run. Myself, SweetAsNuts and halobear8
Also regarding politics. Rules are good sometimes. We don't need total right and total left, I agree that 5 (the middle) is best. A little of each. This is supposed to be a fun, inviting community and we should not alienate anyone.
Mr Nuts, I think your fundamental understanding of the political compass is misinformed. that's okay, it's confusing, and political theory can be really inaccesible. left-wing isn't automatically synonymous with rules and right-wing isn't automatically synonymous with freedom because these things exist on different axes. (i would add a photo but i still don't know how to post pictures on here.) you are conflating the two axes together. if they were the same, it wouldn't be a political compass, it would be a poltical scale. the authoritarian-libertarian axis is the vertical one and this is what determines aspects of free speech, individualism, censorship and the like. it isn't something that can be simplified, quantified and numbered 1 to 10. even the political compass doesn't offer more than a vague indication of political leanings and they're a lot more complex than that. from what i've observed, you identify as strongly libertarian, but this isn't mutually exclusive with leftism. i think that is where you're confused.
if we go back to the political compass (which, again, isn't the best tool for understanding politics, i'm just using it to explain my point), you can see that the horizontal axis decribes economic traits. economic-left and economic-right are potentially even more vague than trying to understand authoritarism-libertarianism but i'll have a shot at explaining. economic right tends to believe in private property, limited government involvement, free market capitalism, economic individualism, etc. economic left values higher taxes for higher tax brackets, redistributive wealth, social welfare and empowering the working class. this is difficult to explain because views vary across the spectrum and throughout the four quadrants, but i hope this helps. i also want to say that i live in australia so my understanding of politics may be different to people who live and were educated in other parts of the globe.
i am not sure what your economic beliefs are despite keeping up with your campaign for the past few months, and i think it would be helpful for you to clarify this (even if it's just in relation to the Bimboland economy) so we can better understand your stance. social conservatism and progressivism are also different aspects to this that aren't clear. because i think it is confusing when you say you identify as right-wing but don't explain what ideals you ascribe to, other than your focus on freedom of speech, and a lack of moderation/rules. it's good for you to have a clear goal, but it would be pertinent to expand further on what your views are, since you are keen on implementing more politics on here. looking forward to your response, take care!

Please do enlighten me as to how you view the axis?
Instead of a straight 2D line where left=rules & right=freedom, its helpful to view it more as a graph with 4 quadrants.
The horizontal axis of the graph is the scale of left vs right. The vertical axis of the graph is the scale of authoritarianism vs libertarianism. (the left/right axis is more talking about economics, as social things like queerness or racial diversity dont inherently belong to only one quadrant).
So for example:
- authoritarian-left would be like stalinist russia. high economic control & high social control. this seems to be what you view as 'left'.
- authoritarian-right would be like nazi germany (or USA version of 'christian Republicans'). minimal economic control but high social control.
- libertarian left would be like an anarchic commune. economic sharing w no social controls.
- libertarian right would be like free-market individualism (USA version of 'Libertarian'). unregulated economic individualism w no social controls. this seems to be what you view as 'right'.
I also dont know how to submit images on mobile, but you can google 'political compass' for a visual! Spacesignal posted a more detailed explaination above me.
(also im american so thats why i used USA references, one of yall brits can add more relevant references)
I truly feel very sorry for the new government and the previous governments before that had to suffer every year from this dictator.Thank you to all the members of the previous government and new government.♥️You all did your best, even during the worst moments of dictatorship. ♥️Please do have a good time in Ximboland and a much better weekend. ♥️Sincerest apology for all the bad moments you all have to experience. ♥️May your Days be Blessed and your Nights be full of Joyful moments. ♥️
