Leaving the region

[liliandra]

Hi everyone, it is with a heavy heart that I have to say I am leaving this region. I will not sit idly by and get bullied about controversial opinions I may have (I have fairly right wing opinions). I understand I may be brash and passionate sometimes, but for someone with social anxiety, it doesnt come easy. I have had some personal problems with others witthin the region whom I do not wisch (geddit) to discuss openly here. Many of you however have been real friendly, especially Sulenia. Thank you for being the first to communicate with me. And Kanta Hame, who I had a lot of fun chatting with. Oh and to the beloved delegate Wischland, thanks for welcoming me to the region. I am not quitting NS permanently but the region which I will leave within 24 hours. Convince me why I should stay in the region, if you can. I will also leave my political party within the 24 hour period as well.

And as Stan Lee would say,
Excelsior

P.S Spero Venire

Thank you everyone, and goodbye for now

Despite i have noticed the usual differences of opinion tho i have not really seen them due political reasons nor that you would have been bullied due them, so it feels like overreacting. How ever i cant really know how you have experienced them yourself so i am sorry if you feel that way. There is no way avoid difference of opinion anywhere so need to learn to deal with that somehow anyhow. As personal advice for running from own problems for decade instead facing them i wished i would have stopped sooner. So i think its not you who should ask from others, but rather ask your self what you want. If you think this place is right for you, you should stay, and if you think your better of elsewhere, then you should try find whats best place for you. Goal is that you make decision that you would think regretting less / feel like right one. Also if things don't work else where you can just come back. At least that is how i see it.

That doesn't sound good. You're bullied and the person/ppl on the other end isn't being punished/banned?


EDIT: I've looked through your posts and discord and I can't find anything which would indicate what you're talking about. The closest I could spot is one person named jontua writing a shitpost on discord. It must be in DMs, in which case i'd urge you to report them to the admin. Nothing else I can say about this matter.

Don’t leave me alone!!! I’m probably the most conservative person here irl. Always good to have a sympathetic person who agrees with you.

Sad to hear you’re leaving Liliandra. I’m super conservative too. I just stopped talking politics on the RMB because it felt like a one-way debate, actually less of a debate and more of a lecture. Tbh, it feels that way even more so in real life. Politics is an inflammatory topic, and it’s easy to feel outnumbered in a game with left-leaning issues, but the nations here in 10000 Islands are, in my opinion, some of the nicest in Nationstates.

Exactly

[Kanta Hame]

Just to point out got resolved and is back

[Aersoldorf]

Very happy to hear that

I don’t know you, so don’t expect my words to have much impact, but as someone who is quite comfortably a lefty in many respects, there is a real value in being around people with views to the right. One, it can help us understand that what we think are obvious foundational truths may not be as obvious or universal as we lazily assume (and hopefully then be a little less purist and more appreciative of context). Two, and maybe more importantly, reminds one another that we are not just our politics, but people.

“ We are not enemies, but friends. We must not be enemies. Though passion may have strained, it must not break our bonds of affection.”

Anyway, here’s a non conservative stranger hoping you feel welcome here!
