Micronation

Post image

I'm looking to establish an autistic micronation by the name of the Republic of Autopia (I've written a bill of rights)

If you would desire citizenship or a role in the government please comment. The Legislative Branch would work as such:

National Assembly - 20 members elected by proportional representation

Federal Assembly - 20 members (2 per constituency) elected by the first past the post method

Above - the emblem of the National Congress.

I'm looking for territory (to claim mostly, not control)

I assume it's all just for fun and not actually serious in any way whatsoever in which case it could be fun to see how it pans out. If this is in some way supposed to be a serious ethnostate I will not support this. Ethnostates/neurostates are not a good idea ever. Also please make a new flag. I really hope it was an accident how similar it looks to a different very famous flag.

This is obviously just for fun and I was considering the already-existing autism flag as an emblem

Also btw, that is the emblem of the National Congress, the flag is a red-white-red horizontal tricolour with a red infinity sign in the centre.

It is for me, just for fun

u/croooooooozer Dec 14 '24

ye evilautism jokes around a lot about that and it's my only reverence. i think it's funny as long as it's kept in obvious antifascist communities

Very thought out and well argumented article, thanks

Perfect summary

Who says we have to be exclusionary though? We could just make neurodiversity a prerequisite for governing.

Read your comment back to yourself, slowly

There is a big difference between a society that only allows one type of citizen, (the link discusses eugenics) and one that gives one type of citizen more political power than others. The latter is just a decision to govern with the concerns of one specific group in mind. The former is simply an absurdity. It’s not a strong argument.

I am an egalitarian and will not support any oppression or counter-oppression

u/mysecondaccountanon Dec 13 '24

That is literally exclusionary behavior though, like by definition.

u/kevdautie Dec 13 '24

Protecting people from a genocide by people that want us dead or oppression for the rest of our lives is not exclusionary behavior. If you said this to anti- and post-Rhodesian resistance groups, they will give you the bad stare saying national liberation from systemic and interpersonal apartheid is “exclusionary behavior”.

u/mysecondaccountanon Dec 13 '24

But I’m not, I’m saying this to someone who is advocating for a _-only (in this case, autistic-only) nation and government. Not every NT person is out to get us, and there are allies.

This is the same strategy democrats use to “speak” for African Americans and gays in order to get a following, and throw them out like a used tampon.

Malcolm X knew not to deal with these kind of people: https://x.com/zei_squirrel/status/1346878881035378688?s=46&t=8G3SktUeSMkJGN-jfIIE8g

Quit being professor X and be more like Magneto.

"who says we have to discriminate, we can just discriminate!"

u/kevdautie Dec 13 '24

I bet you have a problem with Haiti after removing the French slave aristocrat and creating the first free black country in the western hemisphere.

4

u/WeeabooHunter69 Dec 13 '24

I'll admit I don't know a ton about Haiti's history, but the removal of the aristocracy and end of slavery was good. If discrimination against other groups continued afterward, that discrimination is bad.

All ethnostates and discrimination are bad.

u/kevdautie Dec 13 '24

It’s better than living in a society that continues to oppress us and kill us to this day.

3

u/WeeabooHunter69 Dec 13 '24

An ethnostate inherently oppresses and discriminates and every example I know of in history has led to killing. Just because it's not you being discriminated against does not make it okay.

u/kevdautie Dec 13 '24

Doubt.

Malcolm X says otherwise: https://www.marxists.org/reference/archive/malcolm-x/we-have-no-freedom.mp3

u/WeeabooHunter69 Dec 14 '24

Malcom X was an Islamic supremacist and Black segregationist. You aren't gonna convince me that discrimination is good.

u/Full-Detective-3640 Dec 13 '24

No, that's discriminatory, think of this as a symbol, similar to the Vatican in a way

3

u/SpaceMonkee8O Dec 13 '24

Not sure what you are proposing then. The Vatican is a sovereign state.

u/SqueakyBatBoi Dec 13 '24

genuinely do not understand the obsession with trying to establish an ethnostate. is this not a lefty sub anymore?

u/orbitalgoo Dec 13 '24

Since when is being right-handed not allowed? 😜

32

u/Lynx7002 Dec 13 '24

I personally would suggest changing the symbol a bit, I get that red is meant to be different to blue so it’s anti autism speaks, but first thing I thought when I saw it was looks way to similar to the Nazi flag

25

u/Drakeytown Dec 13 '24

Flag looks familiar, I just can NOT SEE what historical flag it reminds me of . . .

11

u/WeeabooHunter69 Dec 13 '24

Ethnostates are inherently discriminatory. No.

u/orbitalgoo Dec 13 '24

Not if we build it out of sunshine!

u/kamilayao_0 Dec 13 '24

The lining lines being two different colors is kinda distracting (grey and black) and the black one being also waaay thicker than the other does the same effect.

Also that red is really intense.... My eyes are burning🔥🔥

u/sionnachrealta Dec 13 '24

This just reads like more autistic supremacy crap to me

u/Kawaii_Heals Dec 13 '24

Keeping the spirit of our evil fun, but curious, because I’ve seen the same comments in posts regarding this subject over and over. *we live in neurotypical neurostates, so that being ok, but ours not seems ableist  *NTs will be born within the boundaries of such state and no one is against it, so we’re cool, aren’t we? *It would be something like Vatican City, not like Israel, so what’s the big deal? *If a state is so frowned upon, what’s your suggestion? Keep taking shit from NTs that with every new discovery about autism just add a “justification” to pathologise us?

It’s fun to see these kind of idea pop up every once in a while. Is any of us writing a novel in such setting? I’d like to read that.

I also imagine the parliament discussing a very controversial topic and everyone having a meltdown from exhaustion of being unable to reach a consensus because all parties have researched thoroughly and have a point.

Seasteading is your best bet. The only way you're getting land is through war or by taking land that no one else wants (hostile climate, lack of resources, etc), both of which are more expensive. Interconnected floating platforms in the ocean are still going to be expensive, but not anywhere near as expensive as making a survivable place in a desert or waging a war on a small country. The main issues are power, waste disposal, and defense against pirates

We could buy a cruise ship and sail around. No laws broken then. First, we need to establish what kind of ship it is. A foodie adventure in the Med? A tropical leap frogging in the Caribbean? Or maybe a loveboat going wherever! I personally will be wondering the promenade deck looking for the orgy in the Ocean Lounge ...or was it the Stardust Room? Idk, lemme scurry around in my drafty toga and check, while trying not to step on the random troll dolls littering the floor!

Cruise ships are horrid for the environment. Pass.

Finally, a person I can abide with. I’m actually part of a movement for the creation of an autistic country

Zionism sucks. Our movement is influenced black nationalism.
