Novice question re: Plymouth geopolitics

How does one go about joining GH and supporting the cause?

Due to disorganization and failed management you cannot. You can simply make them great gear for them to wear that the Tribe will inherit each time we kill them. This way you are essentially supporting both factions.

The best way to support GH is to buy from our stalls, trade with us and generally just be a decent person lol We're willing to answer the questions that you may have and to trade some goods to get you started normally. GH does not have one central base anymore, so a good way to help is by simply asking what you can do to help our small colonies grow and spread out. At the moment I'm in the process of expanding fields and the bakery in order to fill all of the orders I've been receiving, so clay and bricks are always a great help

I get it. The Tribe is essentially the mob, making people pay what amounts to "protection money" so they and their lands don't fall prey to an "accident".


Forget that.

Forget that.

Or the government, requesting taxation to ensure the safety of the participating community (proven time and again) and the continuation of public works projects (the Reservation). But yeah, forget that. Who needs taxes?

That is a ridiculous and specious argument and you know it. Sell it to the tourists, I ain't buyin' it.

First:


Second: google for: Death of Muammar Gaddafi approx it for Chief and rest of stinky Tribe. If not now, then someday. Government is chosen by people, not gained through rape innocent newcomers or Jorb's fields.

Actually, in the history of society, government of any kind is rarely chosen by the people. And by rarely, one could technically say never. It's the illusion of choice that placates the masses into idleness. The argument could also be made that revolution never truly changes things, just shifts power.

Of course they government doesn't threaten to kill you and destroy all of your things if you don't pay your taxes. They will fine you in excess of what you owe.

If the tribe took what they considered the treaty payment, plus say a hefty fee, but left you to live and keep most of your stuff, I think you'd have more payers. You could always do the same the next month. Since the Tribe kills you and takes anything they want if you miss a single treaty payment, many, many people are turned off by that.

There may have been true democracies back in the days when people lived in small tribes where people got to vote over matters concerning the entire tribe.
This is the exception to the rule that "might is right." Most of the states excisting today is the result of warfare and established on the basis of who has the biggest gun.
The existing democracies of the day do allow you to vote, but as Tylan say it cant be compared to a true democracy. In order to have a real democracy the group cant be very big. In states there is too much bureocracy and middlemen to be able to call it "real" democracy.

And the Germans kill the Jews
And the Jews kill the Arabs
And the Arabs kill the hostages
And that is the news
And is it any wonder that the monkey's confused
He said Mama Mama, the President's a fool
Why do I have to keep reading these technical manuals
And the joint chiefs of staff
And the brokers on Wall Street said
Don't make us laugh, you're a smart kid
Time is linear
Memory's a stranger
History is for fools
Man is a tool in the hands
Of the great God Almighty
And they gave him command of a nuclear submarine
Sent him back in search of the Garden of Eden
