The Automek Technocracy

"The technocracy was the first form of government, if we look back to the first individuals who could make fire they were often the leaders of their respective tribes..."
- The Manual of Technocrats

The Unity Front

"We are the children of billions of years pregnancy, we were born from nature's womb and like children we ran a muck in her domain but now mother is calling back and like good children we must obey..."
- Return to Sender 22:7

The world is split down the middle, technocrats and naturalists at eachothers throats, the tension is rising and no one can see where it's gonna go. But all this is just backdrop, there is bigger evil coming and no one seems to know about it, The Middle Ground and if there is one thing the two sides can agree on it is that there can be no middle ground. As the old saying goes: "if you are not with me, you are against me."

I'm just testing the water.

How is it even possible that the naturalists could contend?

Numbers, I would assume.

Okay, so assume our people have 12,000,000 rebels against our current military? We'd be put down. :/

I don't think that the Naturalists could win with a futuristic setting unless there's like 1 Technocrat per 20,000 Naturalists or more.

Casual.

As for the rest of you, they have fanaticism, numbers and advanced genetics.

Who's to say they'd even meet on the same field, or if naturalism automatically implies that the naturalists would rather fight a tank with a spear than an anti-tank rifle. Both sides could theoretically use the same weapons or tools, but in the end want to see them used to different ends.

Or both sides are effectively as different as the UFLL and APR. Which is to say: there's nothing different at all, just words.

I was just fishing to see if there was any metaphysics involved in the RP.

You don't really need metaphysics or wild numbers to balance this RP. The Naturalists could use the same anti-tank rifles as the technocrats. But the Naturalists may not use the same chemical defoliants or napalm as the technocrats. What they do instead is become asymmetric and a boogy man. There's no -cide for a ghost. Dump some white powder in the mail and people stop using the post, or the trains, or whatever. And you use arsenic: harmless to plants but deadly to humans.

Then when the faceless people kill our faced people we feel in danger and feel our kin are in danger so we withdraw. It's what we did with 'Nam, and with Iraq. We lost 23 year olds from Iowa, and we know them and love them more than we hate the people with the scarves covering their face we want out. And then we got a more complex social framework any one side can take control of.

Much like you'd imagine, I thought the technocrats were the techies, dwelling into the technology of unknown power and utilizing it in everyday life, and maybe the naturalists steal their shit every once in a while and use guerrilla tactics against the techno's.

I could use the French, Belgium, or the Dutch and the point would still be equally valid.

It would but no politics, this place is for RPs and from what I've seen it brings people together, I don't want something like that to be ruined because of politics.

Ps. Dinh, are you a fallout equestria fan?
