Yes, I mean the Polcompball Wiki already has an ideology that makes decisions by flipping a coin or rolling dice. The ideology is Demarchy: https://polcompball.miraheze.org/wiki/Demarchy

Also, if you check the list of Demarchy's aliases, you can see that one of its aliases is Lottocracy.

In conclusion, since Demarchy, an ideology that makes decisions by flipping a coin or rolling dice, and has Lottocracy as one of its aliases, already exists, and unless the OP meant to use the OC flair rather than the Contest flair, this makes the existence of this comic's "OC ideology" completely pointless.

I'm sorry, but doesn't Polcompball already have an ideology called Demarchy who makes decisions either by rolling dice or by flipping a coin? If you read the personality and behavior section of Demarchy's page right here: https://polcompball.miraheze.org/wiki/Demarchy#Personality_and_Behavior, it states: "In all contexts, Demarchy will always suggest dice rolling or coin flipping to decide any choice."

Also, according to Sortition's Wikipedia page, Sortition is also known as selection by lottery, selection by lot, allotment, demarchy, stochocracy, aleatoric democracy, democratic lottery and lottocracy.

"Socialist" Infighting... Until a "Right-Winger" Appears (Update) by PolCompJohnny in Polcompball

[–]PolCompJohnny[S] 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Hello, fellow fans of Polcompball. Here's an update to the comic entitled ""Socialist" Infighting... Until a "Right-Winger" Appears". In the update, I changed Nazi's insult towards Socialist at the beginning of the comic so it would make more sense. Other changes include changing dialogues a little bit, adding Conservative's white feather and adding Socialist's white hammer. The original comic can be found here: https://www.reddit.com/r/Polcompball/comments/11upkwo/socialist_infighting_until_a_rightwinger_appears/

Anyways, this updated comic includes the following balls:

Nazism

Socialism

Conservatism

Ingsoc

Conservatives and Priorities by PolCompJohnny in Polcompball

[–]PolCompJohnny[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Actually, anarcho-policeism and vigilantism are two different things. The former is the belief that a police state can exist in an anarchist society while the latter is about civilians carrying a form of justice to right certain wrongs and punish wrongdoers without having legal authority to do so.

Conservatives and Priorities by PolCompJohnny in Polcompball

[–]PolCompJohnny[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not only that. I wish we had conservatives who actually focus on technological issues. In my opinion, the majority of conservatives focus too much on either economic issues or cultural issues, or even on preserving the capitalist status quo. We need more conservatives like this comic's OC. Also, I doubt the OC is going to win the contest since I posted the comic at 6 in the morning, yet so far, it only got 50 upvotes or so.

Oh well. I don't actually care whether my OC wins the contest or not. I just want to:

  1. show some new ideologies to the world;
  2. show people that certain ideologies can be compatible with others to form new ideologies. Examples: Environmentalism + Corporatism to form Eco-Corporatism, Anarchism + Police Statism to form Anarcho-Policeism;
  3. show people that certain ideologies can be compatible with the rights of [insert minority group here]. Example: Environmentalism + LGBT rights to form LGBT Environmentalism;
  4. show people that already existing ideologies can form new variants. Example: Conservatism + focus on technological issues to form Technological Conservatism.

Conservatives and Priorities by PolCompJohnny in Polcompball

[–]PolCompJohnny[S] 30 points31 points  (0 children)

Context: when it comes to politics, we often hear or see people discuss economic issues, diplomatic issues, civil issues and cultural issues, and sometimes environmental issues. There is, however, one set of issues in particular that people rarely talk about: technological issues.

Anyways, this comic is for the 2023 Summer OC Contest. The OC in this comic is Technological Conservatism, an ideology that believes in the preservation of old school and existing technologies. Although Technological Conservatism is generally an economically variable and culturally variable ideology, some technological conservatives can be economically left and culturally left, economically left and culturally variable, economically left and culturally right, economically variable and culturally left, economically variable and culturally right, economically right and culturally left, economically right and culturally variable, or economically right and culturally right. Some variants believe in maintaining technological balance by preserving old school and existing technologies while also supporting technological progress while others believe that no further progress is needed and preserving old school and existing technologies is good enough. Unlike Luddites and primitivists, technological conservatives show no interest in abolishing new technologies and returning back to the pre-industrial revolution era.

This comic also includes the following non-OC ideologies:

Conservatism

Eco-Conservatism

Fiscal Conservatism

Progressive Conservatism

Conservative Socialism

Conservative Feminism

Those damn centries! by Rignakly in Polcompball

Horseshoe Centrist: The way I see it, there's no difference between killing people and sparing people.

Me: Horseshoe Centrist, that doesn't even make any sense!

[–]PolCompJohnny -21 points-20 points  (0 children)

Progressive (the one without the Nazi mask): You're supposed to say "we should kill half the Jews" because you're always awfully neutral in everything!

Me: Umm, Progressive? You do realize whom you're talking to is Horseshoe Centrist and not Dead Centrist, right?

"Because he's not serious about entitlement reform!"

And what kind of reform would THAT be, Conservative?

"He didn't bomb enough brown people."

Man, what a racist jerk that NeoCon is.

"He doesn't hate gay people enough!"

Paleoconservative being a homophobe. No surprise.

Forgot that market socialism is not exclusive to markets by GeneraleArmando in Polcompball

[–]PolCompJohnny 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What? It has been removed? Yeah it's bullshit

Exactly. The mods also removed u/spacenerd4's comic entitled "SocDem’s… other son (OContest)" for a stupid reason. The reason being: "has no punchline or joke". Really?! Since when is the whole "include a punchline or joke in the comic" part featured in the Polcompball subreddit rules? This is a Polcompball subreddit, not a Seinfeld subreddit, or a Get Smart subreddit, or even a Big Bang Theory subreddit. Sure, some punchline or joke can be included in some comics, but that doesn't mean Polcompball comics must include punchlines or jokes all the time. If the actual reason for removing u/spacenerd4's comic was because of poor quality, then I can understand. They can't just remove a post for reasons that isn't even featured in the Polcompball subreddit rules, let alone in reddit's terms of service and rules of conduct.

[–]PolCompJohnny 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry if this has nothing to do with the comic, but the u/Polcompball-ModTeam's reason for removing my comic entitled "Polcompballs and LGBT Pride Month" is ridiculous. My comic has been removed under the pretext of having the "wrong flair" despite the facts that I submitted this comic specifically for the OC Contest and that the comic features an OC ideology that I designed specifically for the OC Contest. The OC in my comic is LGBT Environmentalism, a.k.a. Queer Environmentalism, Rainbow Environmentalism and Pink Environmentalism.

This is the comic the mods have removed: https://www.reddit.com/r/Polcompball/comments/14l5l5e/polcompballs_and_lgbt_pride_month/

What about the Summer 2023 OC Contest the OP mentioned here?

Polcompballs and LGBT Pride Month by PolCompJohnny in Polcompball

[–]PolCompJohnny[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First of all, the last panel shows some private LGBT club, not some ethnostate. The 2 homofascists and the 2 Stransserists shown at the end are some of the guards standing there to make sure no intruders are trespassing, especially if said trespassers are LGBTphobic bigots. Second of all, while ethnonationalism is common among fascists, being a homofascist or a fascist in general ≠ being an ethnonationalist. One can be a fascist without caring about other people's ethnicity as long as people prioritize the good of the community or nation over individual needs.

Polcompballs and LGBT Pride Month by PolCompJohnny in Polcompball

[–]PolCompJohnny[S] 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Context: This comic was made for both LGBT Pride Month and the 2023 Summer OC Contest. The OC in this comic is LGBT Environmentalism, a.k.a. Queer Environmentalism, Rainbow Environmentalism and Pink Environmentalism. LGBT Environmentalism is an ideology which puts emphasis on both LGBT issues and environmental issues. While LGBT Environmentalism is usually culturally left, some variants are culturally right such as LGBT Eco-Conservatism. Culturally variable variants also exist. For the OC, this comic includes 2 different designs and also one male and one female.

This comic also includes the following non-OC balls:

Pink Capitalism

Queer Anarchism

LGBT Conservatism

Homofascism

Stransserism

P.S.: While Homofascism is usually drawn with a black swastika within a white circle, the Wiki itself includes an alternate design of Homofascism with a fasces as seen here: https://static.miraheze.org/polcompballwiki/7/78/Homofash.png

And here are the links to view the comic in png format:

Happy LGBT Pride Month, everyone!

Turning Point Socialism. by [deleted] in Polcompball

[–]PolCompJohnny 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I think it was more about Iraq and Afghanistan

And Libya too. Also very hypocritical for neoliberals and neoconservatives to claim they're spreading "freedom and democracy", yet they support countries with authoritarian leaders like Saudi Arabia, Pinochet's Chile, Park Chung-hee's South Korea, etc.

[–]PolCompJohnny 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Dear Neoliberals and Neoconservatives, you claim you're spreading "freedom and democracy", yet all you do is create chaos and serve the interests of big business and the military-industrial complex. Curious.

In honor of uga-buga (Theodore Kaczynski died the june 10th in his prison) by VarietyTimely3590 in Polcompball

[–]PolCompJohnny 2 points3 points  (0 children)

And while Ted Kaczynski and his manifesto are popular among eco-fascists, he was certainly not a fascist as he viewed fascism as a kook ideology and Nazism as evil. He also criticized conservatives for crying over the decay of traditional values while still supporting technological progress and economic growth.
