Another mainstay of the apartheid regime is/was censorship

It was usually done to censor their opponents. But it was a far reaching measure implemented : books, music, movies. Generally everything.
So I dont really care that our government censors its political opponents. I mean if you want to play act a game like we did with dictatorships you I guess have to play act every part of it. Fascist regimes of the past usually used their majorities to suppress minorities . If they were elected to be honest. And we all know that voters was bussed in and recruited. And they lost the March elections but won due to bussed voters. So enjoy. Who cares?
here is Lionel Ritchie he was actually censored in apartheid South Africa.

Our government might want to appoint a Censorship Board to work out how to apply their strategic censorship duties.
In the past of course it was against the rules to exclude people. But dont find it in the rules anymore.
Anyway since we are all perfect strangers here is Deep Purple with perfect Strangers and thereafter another song by them.

and we can finish off with the Nina Hagen Band - TV Glotzer. Nina ofc lived in East Germany during the cold war. She somehow arranged for her birth country to kick her out. You can read up on it in wikipedia. I am not certain if information will be collected on all citizens of eRepublik and reported to some central commissar but ok. Enjoy

I always had the idea after watching that was it Japanese or Chinese film about the communes (Wolf Totem). See it was about the Mongolians can still remember the burial thing (they leave their death in the fields to be eaten by wild animals) . They kill all the wolves which leads to an imbalance in nature. Of a game founded in some commune.

Maybe not being a massive veiny dick to everyone in the thread would help your case.
It's a game not real life. There are no political prisoners in eRepublik.
such powerful imagery...
truly you are a poet!
lol but am i an equal d* to everyone does i apply my *ickery equally among all people. as stated this is a role playing game. would a rl newspaper ignore people being bussed in to win elections? No , so why should we. Certainly everyone has the right to be informed about what goes on in their eCountry. Lastly as a person in a war some of our members is getting extremely obsessed about anything related to the war. here we say a person hating someone eats a bit of the poison each time he thinks or say something about the other people. as a person coming from one of the most repressive regimes in history i would like us to be more relaxed about rl issues. discuss stuff with freedom. atleast we owe ourselves that freedom.

What I like about you say things straight to everybody
It is entirely possible to have an opinion, and express that opinion to others without verbally attacking them.
We usually learn such social niceites as children.
I think a public heartfelt aplology specifically over your words, not your opinions would go a long way to having others want to interact with you,
You won't of course, you're a communist invertebrate.
never apologize one of the golden rules so i dont care whether Armanych , Nerusia and every player that voted in bussed voters apologize to Kaitlinn. quasi fascist think their the chosen ones usually. we learn that in feminist archaeology and portray them as such in official accounts of the time.
I wish things did not go the way they did with us. I liked a lot of your ideas and the way you seem able to teach about the things you know. Also, like Chris said, you have a good ear for music. I also understand your stance on no apologies but alas, there's the rub.
i was one of 2 in the end mythology students in my university but had to leave before the last year . there is something called the catharsis theory . perhaps people should read up about it. people reliving painful events leads to some healing
well, respect goes both ways.
if you are helpful, polite and respect the community, they will respect you back.
i might disagree with you on politics/behaviour,
but you do post some good music!
