Cut the Crap... Let's face the Facts
•
by AugustusX
This will be no fancy article full of jokes and love, but it is time we faced the facts. The sickening mess that is our nation and its politics.

I am disgusted by the in fighting our nation is experiencing. The abuse, the petty complaints, the arrogance, the rudeness, the lies, the mockery that is our senate and the downright disrespect to your fellow human being! It is driving many away, myself to the edge and many more just on the outside in the cold. Alone. Not knowing what to do.
Its time we stopped. This non-sense is just out of control. There is no specific person to blame, there is no one innocent in this. We are all to blame, all parties, all people, all senators. We as a nation have failed. We have failed each other, we have failed our allies and most importantly, we have failed ourselves.
It hurts to see that, as people, we can treat each other like this. There is no respect or understanding for each other and it just disturbing to the core to witness. Many of us are real Australians, and we as a nation have always been considered a nation of mateship. Many say we are the most caring of nations and the most accepting. We are.
But this representation I see on this game is not that same nation. It is just a mess of arguments. They are not even useful, meaningful or nor do they achieve a thing. We have lost our way as a nation. We saved ourselves from the PTO, we managed to band together and form one resisting force... We won.
But what I see now is just a complete representation of what happened before the PTO. The arguing, the useless fighting and the divide of a nation that welcome the PTO like an infection to an open wound. We are weak and a PTO or an invasion from an allied nation is ever likely and an ever growing threat.
The damage in fact that we have done to our allies recently, it is no surprise that an allied invasion is not likely. Yet the most depressing part is, we are too busy at war with each other, we do not realise this. We do not face this. We do not DEBATE about this. We debate about if this part of the law was followed... if we should have apologized or not... whether the seal, which is AN IMAGE was used correctly.
Our senators cannot see. Yet they represent ME and YOU, the people. It is time they awoke to this and did something that could let our nation into the light!
We are so low on funds, we are missing 3 of our regions, our alliances are in tatters and we cannot do anything but argue.
Petty grievances have gotten in the way of us leading ourselves out of this hole. Almost everyone is responsible. But forgiveness is a virtue and could be the one thing that saves us all. Forgive and forget the wrongs, the rights, the mistakes, the envy for anothers success and move forward together.
Let us unite as one. There are those of us who want change but it seems futile. But as one, we can do it!
As a nation. As eAustralia. As eAustralian's.
The time has come.

Derp, Good Idea, It's been tried before...
eAus is a Troll Fest.
Always has been, always will sadly...
Good Luck trying bro...
This speaks about one million kinds of sense
I agree....
your like Bono...but you know.... not Irish
or good at singing
Welcome to eAustralia, the eCountry that never changes 😉
Imagine ....
Wow Flatty. And I thought I made epic articles.
I agree, wholeheartedly. This needs to end.
Very nice article. And, I don't usually pay such kudos.
Well done. V&S.
Guess the only reason citizens have had to talk up the problem of trolling lately is that there has not been any. About the only issue in the past month we need to complain about is someone trying to make a public apology for the fact we are so great. Anyone who needs to apologise to the world for our greatness probably does not deserve to be a part of it. I am sure he can find a more subservient nation to join.
Excellent article Flatty.
great article.
Are you auditioning to become the next Barack Obama, Flatty?
Same old same old
Fantastic article Flatty.
did anyone listen to the song+read?
that was hard.
all i could do was mix the songs words and the articles words.
but most people couldnt be faulsley medically diagnosed with austism such as myself? xD
It's easy enough to write an article like this, but following through and actually making a difference is easier said than done. The only people that can really fix the problem are the people causing the problems, and well, most of them have shown in the past they don't want to.
It's been a long time since the country united for anything. Not even the PTO united people, it was not much different to now, last month, or any other time in eAus.
lol Hino
I've written easier. And sought harder change.
I liked it, flatty. Keep doing what you do.
God, how I love this song. : )
You speak the truth, Flatty. Too bad most people never change. I've given up on eAus a long time ago. : /
Fact of the matter is Ranger, one can write inspirational, fancy articles all day long, and people can pat them on the back and go good job, great work, but all they are are words.
Perhaps I'm being harsh about it, but I hear or read all this talk of unity and working together and fixing things, but nobody every tries to, and the more that people get egged on writing but not doing, the worse things get as people just stagnate.
I had personal experience back when we were PTO'd, people spoke about uniting against the Indos, fighting them back with ATO, yet nobody wanted to pull their weight.
Same with most senate ventures like the eUni or the Housing exchange, great idea to talk about, nobody wants to do it.
What an amazing article, I have never read anything closer to the truth. Good work flatty, not just for this article, but for telling eAustralia the truth, something that is increasingly hard to find.
Loved it 🙂
The Seekers are Australian and awesome. This article is awesome and I had a shitty day at school today. This just made it good. Thank you!
Maybe because we're OLD Hino.
Let the next generation have it's turn. We are done.
true that ranger true that.
Uh... what does age have to do with anything I said? And anyway, the people who pulled their weight during the PTO were just as much if not more the older players, the people who are more on the sidelines and avoiding conflict with each other are the older players, the ones that do the best work are the older players.
New players are great, sure, but assuming older players should be passed over and new players should be the wave of the future will lead to ruin. Just look at senate, it already has.
MY GENERATION > ALL

Great Article.
But now we need people (influential people) to act upon the words you describe. Giving up is not the answer, but neither is trying for something you can't achieve.
I would love to help Australia unite. But frankly, who is going to listen to me? No one.
Only the most experienced players (the ones who are respected and well known) can really make a difference, people like me can just try their best, but in the end it won't suffice.
I believe this country seriously needs to be run by new management. Those who cause the most problems in senate because they are a part of a party which has differing views from those around them and maybe also the CP need to think about resigning.
The only way eAustralia's government can bring us forward is if it's individuals are open-minded.
Thats just my opinion.
you quit after one week in cabinet flatty so i guess you're not cut out for politics. your articles are the same whining every week. politics is rough and tumble - get used to it.
Infin - he quit because he was MoD and the PM didn't tell him about the war he was starting - ANYONE else would quit if that happened.
IMPEACH! http://www.erepublik.com/en/article/the-big-red-button-time-to-use-it--1677649/1/20
good article, but as others have said, things will never change. V+S
good article but I never see many changes in eAustralia.
Unity is a great principle.
In reality, in order to achieve unity, one side of each argument needs to back down. I have been around long enough to know nobody is willing to take that position, yourself included. So, as long as we have two or more sides to any situation, and no side is willing to submit or concede to the others, there will be no unity.
The only other option is for the public to take notice, get involved, pick a side and use their vote accordingly. As long as 80% of the population sits on the fence, we will continue to be led by the same individuals, having the same arguments, month after month.
"Infin - he quit because he was MoD and the PM didn't tell him about the war he was starting - ANYONE else would quit if that happened."
x2
It was one of his hardest decisions but the right one to make.
On ya, Flatty.
@Hinokai "Same with most senate ventures like the eUni or the Housing exchange, great idea to talk about, nobody wants to do it."
The housing exchange was actually a great example of talk becoming action. Dozens of houses went to players that otherwise would not have had access. The only reason it stopped was the V2 changes making houses durability expire meaning there was no longer a supply of lower quality houses from people that had upgraded. Admins also later announced houses would be deleted, although yet to happen - go figure.
Feel free to move to eMalaysia if you do not like what politics have become in eAustralia. In eMalaysia the 'haters' have been driven out of power. In its place is a rising tide of egalitarianism. Although technically there are two political parties, the people are of one. The separate parties simply exist so that there would be some measure of competition for political office.
Speaking of political office, we are in desperate need of trustworthy people who will come and run for Congress for ATO purposes. In fact, if we regain Peninsular Malaysia before the Congress Election, there will be available seats. Word of warning though, it is a long-held Malaysian tradition that Congressmen donate some or all of their CM Medal Gold to our national treasury. But you will have the opportunity to serve in a Congress where all hate has been swept away and we do not judge based on RL nationality.
e aus politicians are just a bad joke! look at what is left of the country... its a joke, and pretty obvious whos fault it is.. lol no suprizes here..
great org post, who are you?
mabe you all should create another comitee... Dept of Failures... then you can unite the country.. tie it together with your red tape.. lol
the joke is on you!
I like good jokes.
And drinking pina colada, getting caught in the rain.
Have now read 3 times. One of the better articles i've read so far.
Unfortunately, people have different views on the same topic, that's why we actually have political parties.
You say we are missing three of our regions, everybody wants to get them back but we all have different views on how we can return them.
I think part of the problem is the red tape we call senate.
I took some time out of this game and come back to see the same old crap about the senate. It is about time we simplify things and stop playing the same old silly power games.
Nice article, but when everyone is power hungry nothing will change.
I hope it does...
Welcome back Arthinian!
Also i think these have been the most constructive times in ages so i don't mind if DIYPA and ANP babies are having a bawl.
