Where does everyone align politically?

[Bushido0 65]

As we know political gameplay is going to be a big part of this game with careers in law and order, journalism and writing, gangs and crime, and government. I am curious to know where everyone aligns on the political spectrum, or if not at all. And more importantly, what we're going to be aligning our roleplay with. This should be an especially fun thread for those of us who plan to dabble in the political part of the game. 

 

I know that political discussions can get heated, so maybe save debating for another thread, the main purpose of this thread is to gather some fun and potentially useful information, and to have a good discussion and share stuff about ourselves with each other. Sorry if I forgot anything, I have done my best, feel free to expand in the posts of the thread! 

For the record, I will be voting (classical liberal, libertarian left, and centrist).

Lets keep politics, social justice warriors, political correctness and the rest out of video games. Games are where I go to get away from all the real world bullshit!

I find it interesting because if this sim is worth it's salt we might see how some real world political ideas play out in a microcosm. 

I too have a strong Classical Liberal affiliation. I'd like to see a functional minarchy in whatever server I'm in.

Tell it to Hangar 13. They kind of ruined the image of my favorite game series of all time, by cramming politics and other things into a game that was supposed to be about the COSA NOSTRA, but actually became a game about politics in the 1960s.

Then I hate to tell you this, but you are playing the wrong game. This game is going to simulate life including politics. ^^;;

In real life, I never talk politics to nobody. I keep my thoughts to my self, its not a good idea to talk politics, especially in the days of today.

 

That being said, I do believe in in-game politics that has nothing to do with the real world and maintaining a non-bias attitude.

I think you misunderstood Forcedchaos  .

He is talking about real life politics.

 In-game politics should be and is part of the game, that I can agree with. Personally I think we should keep the civil war that separates our country in half with this "Trump haters" vs "Clinton/Obama haters" out of a game that we fictitiously play in and want to be part of to enjoy the game.(If we ever can...)
