I am eAmerica!
Jewitt
I was driving home last night and began to listen to some music from a local radio station. As I was driving down a stretch of hilly and curvy roads at about 50mph (Speed Limit: 35) I began to think to myself that I was being quite reckless in my driving.
I was doing something that was hazardous, but quite pleasurable. There are few things more invigorating, save for a few physical acts with other human beings of the opposite gender, than driving fast on a smooth surface; albeit hilly and curved. The act is purely individualistic, as Emile Durkheim himself once put it, to fulfill one's "internal desire to be pleasured by oneself."
Pleasuring Oneself?
I came to a revelation while driving: Everyone in the eWorld (yes, I do think about this damned game even when I am driving), especially eUSA, represent this individualist attitude. Like such, I began thinking about the active voices in eRepublik, namely the wannabe media moguls.
Constantly writing what the public was interested in, jumping on the bandwagon to reach the lists so more may be able to subscribe. Good examples are when the USWP was called "traitors" or with the PEACE-Atlantis problems.
Congress
This bunch sickens me. Some of them decided that an MPP Canada will worthless, since the event of Canada being attacked was low and many other reasons. What about our Atlantis obligations? What about good faith and moral meaning? Then...it hit me like my radar detector screaming "POP Gun Alert!"
eAmericans Suck
Seriously, they really do. We pride ourselves in hard work, loyalty, pride (priding ourselves on pride?), and freedom. We are contradicting all of those things. Many eAmericans use the decoder (not hard working...but good for productivity and I will not stop it), bash their own country and allies, degrade themselves by making fools of their opinions via the media, and sit back and watch as PEACE invades and puts down resistance wars.
Atlantis is Imperialist Too!
This is true, but not as an organization. Pakistan, Indonesia, and Iran all together alone hold up the largest mass in the New World. I, however, will not spare Norway or Romania, which both rival this trio's land size.
In a previous article, I referred to Indonesia, Iran, Turkey and Romania as the Axis of Evil of the New World. Now that I think about it, Romania is not evil at all, and neither is Norway.
Despite Russia breaking agreements and starting RWs way too early for the Norwegian-agreed freedom movement, Norway allowed it, and further allowed negotiations for freedom. When Romania attacked Russia, it was not out of imperialism, but for the sake of the game's enjoyment.
We, as Romania's ally, failed her. We began to distrust the war, and we began to second guess our abilities at success. The term "Fight with no weapon" was used like "Are you serious? That will kill us!" when it should had been "Good war effort for saving our tax dollars!" In all seriousness, fighting with no weapons does not hurt you, it only helps the country.
So...eAmericans act like real Americans. We second guess everything, and we are hateful towards foreigners. If we were attacking, say Mexico, for land and fun, we would have no problem and expect Atlantis to support it. I am sure the Romanians could say the same thing.
How about the "Axis of Evil"? Turkey has committed the eHolocaust and offered Israeli freedom after V1, yet they continue to overthrow Israeli-backed political parties and further oppress them. Indonesia has given no land up except two in Australia, and as far as I am concerned this does not free them from their South African and other injustices.
Iran is imperialist to the bone, gobbling up all of China for its own. This is intolerable.
As Atlantis, as a single organization, we need to unite, put aside our pitiful grievances, and look at the two "imperialists" in Asia: Romania and Iran.
When push comes to shove, Romania will support us. Romania will back us up. Romania will exhaust all of its tanks and resources to our defense (as they had done with Argentina, Spain, and other allies). They helped us secure regions in France when all seemed lost, and yet we abandon them? What will Iran do? Continue until all of China and South Korea is taken? How about Japan? I understand that it is a PEACE country, but it borders Hawaii and our western states. I see no problem with fair Japan bordering us, but what if Iran suddenly shared a border with California? Then what?

Eh im to lazy to send hate mail. (Is his prophecy true about eamerica?)
Excellent work Jewitt, though I cannot find time to send hate mail as I am in the midst of writing a torrid hate letter to myself for being exactly what you describe. Voted and subscribed.
hmmm. Very good. Thought provoking.
I was expecting a "And So Can You!"
I have to say, you have a few good points here.
Voted.
voted.
This is one of the best I've ever read Jewitt, nice.
Ha, I agree with Joe 🙂
This article has sex appeal. I like it 😃
AFAIK our ATLANTIS obligations do not require us to hold MPPs with every member nation (only 5 or something like that).
I don't think 30 G is to be wasted on symbolism. It should be rationally spent on worthwhile MPPs.
i like it
Voted. Subscribed. And now I feel like my country is a collective douche. Ah well.
Bravo. Voted.
thought provoking but I don't agree with all of it.
Good article
v+s
I am surprised no one got the hint that I follow most of these things too. Heck, we should all start running around yelling "I am eAmerica!" in Indo threads to prove a point....
You've been watching too many CNBC commericals.. lol
Voted and Subscribed ...
Jewitt you beat me to it 😃
I was gonna write an article similar to this. You'll probably still see something close coming 😉
Maddox? is that you playing eRepublik??

I LIKE CEREAL AND PEOPLE WHO ARE NOT CHEATERES AND THE PLEASURING ACT WITH THE... NO NEED TO GO THERE AND EVERYBODY WHO READS THIS IS THINKING IM SHOUTING BUT IM NOT JUST TO LAZY TO STOP TYPING AND HIT THE CAPS LOCK BUTTON NOW I WILL HAVE TO STOP TYPING AND MOVE THE MOUSE OK HERE I GO I DID IT.......OOPS
Bravo Jewitt! Thanks for saying it out loud... now maybe the next move for eAmericans would be to stop writing page up and page down on internal matters that are best discussed in the usa forum, and start listening and learning from other nations. As of now the inward focus and race for individual stardom is stifling the need for adaptability and structured organisation. Justin, take leadership and make us part of something greater!
I would write a hate comment right now but I am too tired. Pointless article. By the way, I hope you'll get a ticket.
We need to start a war or something soon. I DIDNT SIGN UP FOR A 24/7 ECONOMICS SIMULATION
There is a decoder? I'll take two...Can someone please lend me some Gold?
Thanks for pointing out the Oblivious,...What do we stand for as a people? We have let our current government provides us with some of the worst Schools, Health care, Justice system in the world. And we the People just sit here and take it.
Here is a little something for you to think about, Seeings we really have no vote in this country anymore. Other to elect who the put in front of us and no say in what they do {our Government}, The $700 Billion dollars that they spent to bailout these corrupt and Irresponsible companies! Here is a NEWS flash, If it was divided up and given to the citizens that paid it in, This would include everyone over the age of 18, that is right at 300 million people, Every person in the entire United States over the age of 18 would get a check for $250,000 each!!
So ask yourself who is lookin out for who?
Ahem, to avoid confusion, this is Jewitt's org.
I appreciate all hate comments and support 😃
Madheadquarters: This is eRepublik, not Real Life. Please, keep in mind the difference between the two. I do not want real life politika taking over my article, thanks. This was intended for eRepublik use and relevance only.
And So Can You?
Fact check. Its Pakistan that has invaded China. Iran an Japan are fighting against Pakistan's imperialism.
@Shadow: Dammit, you got to that before I could 😛
Jewitt is a man's man fer sure.
Haliat: eRep History Lesson...
Pakistan did, in fact, invade India and China. However, via agreement with Pakistan (most of which the details are unknown) Iran is now taking key portions of China and India from Pakistan. If they really are fighting Pakistani "liberation," why did they invade sovereign China? Why did they fight with Chinese just wanting to keep one free province? They are no better imperialists than Pakistan was, in your eyes.
And Indonesia, stopping imperialism? It holds more territory outside of its original claims than Iran did before it invaded Pakistani China. Australia, South Africa, and Argentina to name the highlights.
Thanks Leviathann😁
Indonesia in 4 continents, isn't that great?
"youve been watching too much cnbc" thats all i ever watch... makes for good sleepy time
Well Jewitt I think your also doing this to get more subscribers but you bring up good points but I also wanted to say is everyone has a line where the game is fun and unfun. When it comes to unjust wars against nations that probably would join Atlantis that is stepping over the unfun line. When someone is making funny comments towards a country that is stepping over the fun line. You got to also remember you may be stepping over the fun line but you may be shoving someone over onto the unfun line. Think of all the Russians whom overnight lost their country because 2 nations behind their backs worked out a plan to take them over and stop them from joining Atlantis. Just cause it is fun for you, doesn't mean it is fun for everyone.
Armandez: I never intended to get more subscribers but it seems I have nearly doubled my previous amount :/ If you have read any of my other articles, you would know I do not write for attention, but for awareness or convaying my own opinion. Quite frankly, I was inspired to type this out of being angry and you know the rest. I am not at fault if I made my first Top 5 article and did so legitimately.
I am semi-aware of this "fun line." Turkey invaded where I was technically eBorn, Israel, and that definitely was enjoying to fight to keep wellness up until I could not any more. If you have seen my other articles, I have criticized all acts of permanent expansionism and putting down resistance wars. I also clearly stated that Romania is no saint either, and I have even called them as part of the "eAxis of Evil."
hoorah! Jewitt you have sucessfully bashed us all, right in the nuts where it hurts, and we all praise you for it!

YES! YES!
LETS GET BACK AT IRAN!
