Time to take a stand

The Kingdom of Unixploria has never been politically correct. We speak, write, and think how we perceive things, not how others perceive them. We have always regarded that particular facet of contemporary society as a forebearer against free speech, leaning towards censorship.

The political developments have, however, made us reconsider some of our former stances. We cannot accept fascism in any way, shape, or form. We believe the extreme right-wing movements, Islamists, Christian fundamentalists, and other groups in Europe and elsewhere go against everything we hold dear.

Being a Christian nation, we also find that the hate rhetoric and egotistical speeches are far from what we would support to improve society. Political life resembles ethics in so many ways.

To leave minorities without protection, tax the poorest in society, swipe decades of emancipation under the rug, and disregard the scientific fact that humans cause climate change goes against the core of the Unixplorian nationhood.

To show the world we support equal rights, we’ve recently begun waving the rainbow flag at all public spaces and buildings. The ones opposing that particular flag are also the ones who are against democracy, equal rights, and the very freedoms we take for granted in Western civilization. It is a small way to show that the New Covenant still plays a vital part in Unixplorian society.

Immoral Leaders

Our macronational neighbor, Sweden, politicians, and elected officials are lying through their teeth and seem to have no ethical compass whatsoever. The head of the Swedish Civil Contingencies Agency went on vacation to the Canary Islands in the midst of an epidemic. His only answer was: “It was a necessary trip. I’ve had to cancel several of my trips this year.”

Duh! What about the rest of the population? They have been told to stay at home, not socialize, and certainly not make unnecessary travel plans. Heck, they can’t even go abroad since they check all passengers. If you board a private plane and show a passport for diplomatic immunity, the rules of the game suddenly change. It’s distasteful.

Does Unixploria have an Official Policy regarding Euthanasia?

The Kingdom of Unixploria does not have a policy yet. We consider life to be holy, and as such, no man should interfere in the natural process of life and death. However, members of the royal family have experienced family members who would willingly end life to avoid terminal diseases that cause them nothing but pain and suffering. All such decisions must, of course, be made with a sound mind and sound judgment. It would not be taken lightly and would also affect others. It might not even be a decision that one person can make alone since it would involve other family members.
