The Perennial Monopoly: Organized Sadism

The Perennial Monopoly: Organized Sadism, simply called Sadism & War in game, is a political essay and book written and published by Xeroise Ronango'O following the War of Angel Altar. It was written on January 16th, 2022, shortly after the publishing of her book "Commentary on the Neoites" which tackles similar political themes. It is regarded as one of many Xeroist texts despite not explicitly being a socialist essay in any capacity. It is also a popular text amongst Krakhovites for its embracing of many Krakhovite beliefs.
The essay describes what she believed is a growing Neoite cause and faction across Eldham and the need for a "Voithite" coalition against it. She criticizes the group of SquatLand in addition to the nations of Uraka, Simulami, Goonguard, and Barbossa in the text.

An entirely mortal disease frequently plagues nations spanning both the words of Eldham and her sisters in Rathnir. With frankness one must address a certain elephant in the room that many everyday citizens have already come to with warranted alertness. The emergence of certain societies—ones that do not care about humanity and seek a Neotic sadist thrill from the dominance and crushing of others. Chances are I do not have to say names for a repertoire to appear in your head but in typical fashion I shall. This forewarned past evening in the War of Angel Altar may come to mind as the dominion of SquatLand—a fashioned terrorist and criminal organization—has evidently no real interest in their fellow man. They exist purely to make a material gain and any resemblance of empathy or sympathy is with practicality; entirely wiped from their minds. For those who have been living under a most massive rock, this group created a settlement outside the capital of the United Socialist States of Eldham this past week called the “Squatter Stock Market” whereby they would intimidate and terrorize locals and attempted to extort the government. The government, as one may expect, declared war on the settlement only to be barraged by a military stronger than most nations could ever dare try to muster. These were obviously no actual ordinary squatters though, these were talented warriors from the likes of Simulami, Barbossa, Uraka, and Goonguard, nations you are already well familiar with. A terribly fruitful military to destabilize those nations that bring any opposition to the reigning crown of so-called “faction-mentalitied nations” is precisely what SquatLand and it’s so-called citizens and associates are. This is not a new phenomenon however, perhaps you are familiar with the sheer dominance of peoples like the Ferrymen and Shirokaneza who are capable of altering the course of international geopolitics because of their unrealistic hatred for their fellow man and international money-funneling schemes. Obviously though, both of those groups in question were smited by the gods and I do not think anyone would be surprised if the gods gave similar treatment to SquatLand and her founders but that is not necessarily the point I am intending to arrive at today.Genuine reform must happen by the hands of the gods or through coalitional activism. Before us we are having the formation of what I’ve deemed a “perennial monopoly” on geopolitical power on Eldham. To many’s surprise, for once I am not inherently talking about the Eldham Entente which has made itself a recluse after the destruction of Shirokaneza and Uraka’s January Upheaval. I am talking about the abrupt reemergence of pirate and banditry states who are in their own right entirely capable of changing the fate of Eldham for the foreseeable future and if they shall will it, can destroy not only my nation—but yours with such ease that you’d swear they were a hot knife striking through butter and curdled cream. These are groups of people who do not care about how magnificent your castles and kingdoms are, how many works of art and literature you’ve made, the historical impact of your nation, or how “nice” and “kind” you may be. These are groups of people who want money by all means necessary and are perfectly intent and fine with striking your nation to the hells of the history books and encyclopedias. These are not people who inhabit most of Eldham, these are corrupted beasts driven by a virulent desire for power. No amount of public engagement or plea can stop them and I write this with such brutality that one may expect this to be hyperbole or mere fictional dystopia writing but this is the current world of Eldham that we live in.There is a very unironic discussion point that has been tossed about and that is the very real discussion of carving up Eldham underneath the banners of a few select powers to bring so-called “prosperity”, and it so happens that these select powers in question tend to be the same ones that have the allegiance and support of these warrior, pirate, and bandit groups. Is there any other name for this practice but a monopoly on power and state-funded terrorism? Genuinely, is this a world in which we choose to live in and is this one we want to nurture. If people do not stand up to the encroaching faction powerhouses across Eldham, only the gods can predict how many peoples and societies will be annihilated.While it appears everyone and their entire families have distinctly profound opinions on the usage of coalitions, what people are failing to notice is that one is forming upon our very eyes. We have the Eldham Entente which is a hypernationalistic formation of Eldhamite empires, Uraka and her allegiant allied states such as Barbossa and Simulami which are not only the richest of such dominions but have such a high population of bandits that they can force people unto their will with little effort and are already using their paramilitary groups in the form of SquatLand to execute this will, and then there's everyone else who is decades behind in terms of military power and actual organization. There is a distinct divide between Neoite Society—nations which form themselves on the basis of war, and Voithite Society—nations which form themselves on the basis of development, welfare, and worldbuilding. The difference is that in the present day this so-called Neoite Society is united in their will and is prepared to execute it onto the Voithites and no such coalition to oppose them has yet to be formed. This was done to a certain extent with the “Great Coalition” during the January Upheaval but it has since disbanded and no Voithite Coalition exists; bringing us back to the first grounds of vulnerability.I would most certainly propose that ALL nations who have interest in maintaining a just rightful society envisioned by the gods years ago light a practical fire underneath themselves and begin to work for a better, more secure Eldham. There is one reason for this and it is that if we don’t, we WILL lose what little we have to work with. I am not an optimist, but nor am I a pessimist. I most definitely believe in the People of a Voithite Eldham but what is required for that belief to sustain itself is organization, and a prompt act of solidarity.Bless the many souls of Eldham.XEROISE RONANGO’O
