Opinion: The Sand War and Grainist Accusations are destructive

u/u01aua1

Many people has different opinions about the Sand War. I personally think it was destructive. I am also going to discuss about the "Grainist" accusations about Clayers.

Firstly, the sandapocalypse clearly defied intersoil laws. It broke peace in the entire compass, encouraging war crimes and violence within the borders of every soil nation. The people are the nation's sole power. Some people think that Sandites are oppresed because of r/againstsandsubreddits, but the fact that an Anti-Sand subreddit appeared on the sidebar is due to the fact that people dislike Sand. Sandites already have a bad reputation, and starting a war did not help it at all. In fact, it worsened the Sandites' reputation. Trying to shut down extremist ideas because they are 'bullying' sandites is totalitarian thinking. Yet you claim that the CNA is "ClaySoc". People claim that a war is helpful for a deserted subreddit, but us clays have accomplished the same thing, without any sort of violence. When they gave back the land to every soil type, it was a result of strong dislike towards Sandites. It created puppet governments of Sand in every nation, and dragged every single nation (except for Sand, of course) into poverty. Sand Propaganda is tricking people into believing in the surface level of information, and hiding the real facts from people. Some conspiracy theorists think Purple Clay is created for exiling criminals. However, the territorial size of Purple Clay is by far the smallest. If you visit there and see for yourself, you can see that there isn't enough space for concentration camps or prisons. The 2 nations are literally a river away. According to stats from Totally-not-made-up Research Center, 40% of Clay Immigrants are Sandites. How are we identitarians then? Some Anti-Clay looters claim that Clayers are "Grainists", yet generalizing all Clayers as Identitarians. During the Era of succession, many nations seperated from the 4 major powers, Sand, Clay, Silt, and Loam. Do you know why we have so much territory? Because we didn't let our citizens down. They didn't want to leave because of democracy in our nation. Now compare that to the Kingdom of Sand, a Absolute Monarchy. Of course, nations would want to leave this dictatorship. This very fact made your nation's territory the 2nd smallest. And the wall culture? Simply untrue. The war was built 300 years ago originally to stop Loaman Nomads from invading. This is not used at all now, and it is seen as a tourist attraction, not an isolationist culture that propaganda led some people to believe, which is a sad reflection. Before the Soil Renaissance that happened a week ago, more than 78% of the posts were made by Clayers. Sandites are simply posting after it got popularized by DervotNum4, to get Karma. How narcissist. Civilization is built with Clay. Bricks, Walls, Castles, Pathways, they were mostly built by Clay. And when did we start to see other cultures as bad? After Sand's initial Anti-Clay policies! We don't have censorship in The Republic of Clay. Anyone can access any news network, including Sand propaganda. Clearly, some people are just seeing the surface of things and claiming things that are simply untrue.
