Hello
While I was browsing through the daily South African media, I came across an article that suggested we compromise with our Hungarian oppressors.
First off, Enbaros, I would like to commend you on your courage to bring this to everyone's attention. It takes true courage to say something on one's mind, without caring about the resistance one may face. I would also like to mention that, although the resistance may be strong, you want what's best for South Africa, and I applaud that.
Now, I will view this from an unbiased point. I will discuss both points, from the pro points to the con, and I will let people decide what to support. I expect some venting in my article, like what is present in Enbaros' article, so I ask that you at least keep it civil.
The pros:
Well, let us look at this from a nonpartisan point of view:
The struggle for political dominance would possibly be over. A compromise could be worked out, which would possibly even out the political climate, giving True South Africans a higher percentage in Congress. We would possibly be able to start funding the legitimate outfits of the eSouth African country, and finally be able to support the population.
We could finally stop the constant bickering between the parties, and possibly live in co-existence. We would no longer be subjected to a specific list of people to vote for to gain political influence, and Hungarian citizens would finally stop being criticized and segregated. We could all live a somewhat peaceful existence.
The cons:
Once again, from a nonpartisan point of view:
We would be bending to the will of our oppressors. We may get 'short-changed', meaning our political influence may remain the same, or even weaken. Our oppressors would continue to siphon funds from our hard working citizens to fuel their own pockets. There has been undeniable proof that our oppressors cheated to gain their power, and to bend to their will would only encourage cheating.
The bickering would remain, co-existence would be impossible, and very little good could happen. The honor of fighting for our country would get us into more trouble than good.
As you can see, I may have strayed slightly from the pure definition of pros and cons, and verged onto a path of 'what could happen'. However, I believe everyone can see what I am trying to say, on both points. One must also consider both short-term and long-term effects when thinking. Do we compromise and ease our efforts for a possibly better lie, or do we continue to work night and day to fully regain control of what is rightfully ours? Some individuals have different opinions of what is 'best' for eSouth Africa and its people, and they should be able to say, without fear of persecution, exactly what they believe that to be.
What do I believe? While I believe that working with our oppressors may be the better choice for the short-term time frame, I cannot condone complying with those that went against the game rules to gain power. It only shows that, as long as you cheat, you may gain. I personally believe fighting every inch of the way, against those that find it necessary to cheat to gain, is the only way South Africa can go from here. If they had legitimately PTO'ed us, without the use of multis, then I would consider a compromise, because if they could legitimately PTO us, then we were obviously in a poor state to begin with. However, with their unethical actions, the only course of action is to resist. To resist is to enforce the rules, however vauge and weak they may be, handed upon to us. As long as we resist, we are better than our oppressors, and we will inevitably win.
I have discussed this, in what I hope is an unbiased, informative explanation, viewing both sides of compromising. While I hope that the comments remain civil, a glance at the article I am referencing argues otherwise, and I hope that those that comment at least attempt to remain civil.

no compromise, we kill em all!
This is insane!
1 - They'd make us associate with PENIX. We don't crawl in bed with the enemy.
2 - We'd have to agree to a state of OPPRESSION! Would they allow a true eSouth African to hold the presidency? To form MPPs with our EDEN brothers? No!
I don't want to live in a pseudo-Soviet dictatorship. I'll surrender my freedom after my gun is ripped from my cold, dead hands.
Hail South Africa - Hail EDEN - Hail the RESISTANCE!
^ WOO
Dycey Farley, That would be some of the conditions. Mixed Presidency (one month we, one month you), and be actively neutral (one mpp with Hungary, one mpp with US, or similar).
Hail the RESISTANCE!
woah! Griff didnt you 🙂 surprising
I'll surrender my freedom after my gun is ripped from my cold, dead hands
What is so surprising about it?
As long as you keep resisting we can have it all, do whatever we please. If you cooperated, we would have to sign an MPP with the US or give you the presidency, etc.
So Hail the RESISTANCE!!
I love how these PTOers say they want to oppress us one day, then say we should be friends the next. The hypocrisy amuses me so much.
Oh, you must have misunderstood me. Now I do want to "oppress" you and I do not want to cooperate at any level. And there has to be a huge change in your attitude to even consider otherwise.
Enbaros,however, believes in the cooperation between us, just like I used to.
With no hope in sight, I can't say Enbaros' idea is incomprehensible. If we resist, we're still outnumbered by PTOers, and if we give up, they continue PTOing, business as usual. I'd rather resist and remain true to the real South Africa than let everything fought for just go to ruin. I realize how hypocritical it is to say this, considering I've abandoned eSA in the past, and perhaps I will become jaded once more to have my opinion changed, but right now this is what I believe and what I will act towards.
All we can hope for is Hungarians getting bored or allies finally making an effort to assist us. And not just the "we'll send you a few members to help out," I mean a full on ATO effort.
