@ArdainianRight Xenoblade 2 is home to a bunch of fully realized and unique civilizations, none of which are really evil (not even the one that becomes a Hostile Power later on, that's just the leader being a dick), and that pays off in terms of said comfy levels. Xenoblade 1 has a limited number of comfy areas because most Homs Colonies have been destroyed by the Mechon. Xenoblade 3's colonies generally become very comfy (especially Fiona and Valdi's colonies) once they've been freed and the party has proven itself to the soldiers.

In the end, it's important that the world created is a world you WANT to protect, to save or to make better, depending on the story.
@ChristiJunior Exactly. Man needs a homeland, a place to call his own, to belong, to fight for. There is no "Universal Man" or "Citizen of the World," everyone has a mother and father, a place and time of birth, and you need to create a feeling of "home" worth protecting to appeal to human instincts and create that kind of investment.

TRYING. TO. RESIST. LIBERTARIAN. SPERGING.

But in all seriousness, learn that nationalism vs globalism is a false dichotomy. Me not being a nationalist doesn't make me a globalist.

@xianc78 @ChristiJunior How is this supposed to be about libertarianism? Libertarians want to protect their Galt's Gulch or Shire from totalitarian outsiders too.

@ArdainianRight @ChristiJunior I thought when you meant homeland, you meant country, not private property.

@xianc78 @ChristiJunior The idea of a homeland transcends any political organization or institution or lack thereof.
@ArdainianRight @xianc78 Because this guy is a spiritual tranny who has to make EVERYTHING about his gay meme ideology.

@ChristiJunior @ArdainianRight I may be autistic but transitioning has NEVER crossed my mind.

@xianc78 @ChristiJunior I spent like seven years as an ancap. I've explored that rabbit hole plenty.
@xianc78 @ChristiJunior Elections are heavily manipulated and mostly irrelevant anyways in the absence of a real spoils system that lets you purge permanent bureaucrats and install your own supporters.
@xianc78 @ArdainianRight @ChristiJunior @xianc78
The system technically (but probably not practically since Hitler) allows that, but why would the ruling parties, who are two sides of the same coin ever make use of that?

@ArdainianRight @ChristiJunior Then support The Seasteading Institute and we can create a better society out in the ocean.

@ArdainianRight @xianc78 @ChristiJunior Both you Nazis and Libertarians rely on ridiculous conspiracy theories to justify your claims. You are both out of touch of reality.
@hachi you're an authoritarian globalist who thinks that gender fluid is a real term. Sit down @ArdainianRight @ChristiJunior @xianc78

@rightwingsjw @ArdainianRight @ChristiJunior I used to be a civic nationalist before learning about the shadow governments that control everything and that Voluntaryism is the only solution.

My libertarian views are from me being a paranoid conspiracy theorist. I'm not really a fan of weed, hippie shit, and stuff like that. And no, my mixed ancestry has nothing to do with it. It's just me realizing that ALL politicians are puppets.

Politics really falls into a trichotomy, not a dichotomy. Here are the three most noteworthy political ideological families (almost all people hold political views that fall into one of these categories):

Nationalism: It’s my people vs your people. My people own XYZ territories, or should own them (irredentism), etc.
Liberalism: Leave me alone. Fuck the DMV and the IRS, banks need to get the fuck out a nigga face while he tryna make a living
Socialism: All for one and one for all. I hate white people. Blacks deserve infinity gibs. Learn my pronouns.

These are, naturally, oversimplifications, but I want to keep this post somewhat short. Globalism vs nationalism is not a “false dichotomy,” but one of the more common axes to measure things, and it makes perfect sense if it’s a topic you care about. Liberty vs tyranny being another really common one people care about.
