Taxman:
As a Nationalist, I'm quite naturally opposed to mass, unrestrained immigration (both illegal and legal), open borders, and multiculturalism (although not necessarily multi-racialism, where different ethnic groups stick to themselves and avoid intermarrying or "enriching" the other), so it is natural that a great concern of mine is after we do manage to establish diplomatic ties with Equestria and open the portal, that the resultant contact with mankind does not wash-out or subvert the native culture.
>>>Tax is going to be our ambassador to an alien world of magical talking ponies, you guys. I think it's safe to say humankind's first impression upon them will be quite memorable.
Avoiding the nightmare of uncontrolled, illegal mass immigration like we see with the "migrant" or "refugee" crisis in Europe, or on the USA's southern border, is one of my deepest concerns. For our beloved Equestria to suffer the same fate as the civilized Western World on Earth would be a tragedy of titanic proportions.
>>>All humans are evil, after all, and converting to ponies (as Tax mentions later) clearly won't fix that. Even though it'll fix himself.
Therefore, I propose that not only do we continue to keep this project low profile, but when we do make contact with Equestria, we are very discreet about who we make privy to that knowledge. We must be HIGHLY selective when it comes to who we allow to cross over - blue pilled cucks, SJW maniacs, and cancerous "progressives" should never be allowed to set foot on Equestria, nor should any corporations or greedy plutocrats be allowed even the slightest chance to despoil this paradise. Brain-dead, iphone addicted, football watching proles of the type who make up the majority of sheeple would be excluded (they are hopelessly asleep and beyond saving), as would fedora tipping atheists: if they refuse to believe in the Truth of the Alicorn Goddesses or the existence of spirits and the multiverse, they have no place with us. Tulpamancers who believe it's "all in their head" or just a "mental trick", and not that their tulpas are actual beings summoned from another world in ethereal form, would be excluded too.
>>>Equestria can't reliably manage its own immigration issues, you see, so it's up to this stuttering druggie prophet of ponies to police who goes through. You know, because that's not biased, and only he has access to the drugs apparently necessary to cross over. Also, Lauren Faust is, if I'm not mistaken, a feminist and progressive.
On a personal note, NONE of the treasonous, back-stabbing former members of this forum, who now reside on Waifu Central, will be allowed to cross over, unless they prostrate themselves before me and beg for forgiveness. Even then I can't guarantee I'd grant them pardon, as merciful as I may be, these blackguards hurt me deeply, like a knife to the heart. Equestria does not need scoundrels like that crossing it's borders.
>>>"People hurt me on the internet! I blame them because I'm good and can do no wrong! Even though I'm giving up my life to cross over to this totally new one and begin anew, I'm still going to remain salty about something that should no longer matter!"
Back to topic: race and ethnicity of potential new citizens wouldn't matter too much I think, since the option to "convert" into a pony will be available, therefore making issues of race as it relates to mankind a moot point. So long as they are true believers and have a good heart, they could be allowed the chance to start anew. With our new pony bodies and pony partners and friends we have on the Other Side, assimilating will be much easier. Undoubtedly, our new country would provide services and classes to help as well, after all Equestria is a benevolent kingdom.
>>>Jesus. This is sounding like its own religion by this point. "Follow me and we shall enter the kingdom of Heaven together! Which just so happens to be a land of magical cartoon horses as prophesied by Hasbro. You must have a good heart and truly believe, and you shall have a new body and live happily in paradise!" What am I even supposed to say to that?
Pretty much what it comes down to, is I think the only people who should be allowed entry are those who belong to our group: those who have realized the truth of Ponies and believe in the Alicorn goddesses, and who contribute to our CTB project. Only the true believers who we and the Ponies have judged worthy will cross. There are just too many wicked people for us to risk making this public; too many who would do harm to Equestria, exploit it's citizens and resources; too many who are impure and simply unworthy of paradise. If you object to my strict standards, or would simply like to provide your own opinions, then please post below. I realize that not all of you may be as jaded or misanthropic as me, so for you optimists out there, now is the time to debate.
>>>"Humble yourselves before the Ponies, which are apparently capitalized, and grovel before them for their approval so that you too may ascend and become one with the Master Race." It's funny... I don't even have to be original with my jokes; just echoing what Taxman is saying is hilarious enough. Or possibly depressing, depending on how you look at this. To be completely honest, I don't know how I'd top this with humor. I like satire and sarcasm, but this is just... so beyond the point of delusion that any sarcasm I could come up with, at least right now, is utterly droll in comparison to what's actually being said.
Curio has personally assured me that I am already fast-tracked for Equestria's version of a green card, and I plan on taking the option to convert to a pony. I can't wait for the day when I wake in bed next to my handsome husband, stand up on four hooves and trot outside to breathe the glorious, fresh air and take in the mesmerizing vistas of the pristine Equestrian landscape... Soon, soon we shall have it.
>>>"I can't wait to be disappointed!" All of this is based on assumptions only affirmed by what is more than likely to be delusion, according to any semblance of logic. He's putting all his hope in this one thing, and you've gotta admit, the image of green fields and fresh air he paints sounds pretty nice, but there are two problems with that: The first is that he'll never get to see the Equestrian landscape, and the second is that we already have green fields and fresh air if you live in the right place. Some people just see despair here, but there's more to the world than meets the eyes. Its beauty is diverse, and one's preference is bound to exist somewhere, if you're not too out there or picky.
Fringe:
It has never been my intention to permanently relocate to Equestria. I only wish to study their magic, enjoy a brief holiday there and return, perhaps with a few souvenirs on top of the knowledge I will have gained.
>>>If anyone actually brings back souvenirs from Equestria, especially magical ones, the entirety of science and all that we know might just collapse. The likelihood of tested theories failing versus drugged-up assumptions however is practically non-existent.
Equestria's interdimensional borders must remain strong. I would personally refuse to allow someone to use any portal I had control over if I'd deemed them unsuited to Equestria. We also obviously have to acquiesce to any requests by the Equestrian authorities on matters regarding our relations.
>>>"If I'd deemed them unsuited," he says. Have you noticed that the opinions of those faithful few involved in this pointless project are what come into account on the matters of serious issues, and not political logic or sound, unbiased reasoning? They treat their opinions like facts.
Not only should we thoroughly screen all people who want to go, this information should be freely shared with our Equestrian counterparts so they can make a judgement too. Anyone who is unwilling to submit to these examinations should immediately be disqualified from further involvement with the project.
>>>"Because I'm right, always."
The point of keeping this information among trusted individuals only cannot be stressed enough. There are definite risks involved with this sort of thing, people have been killed for less. Despite the perceived silliness of the concept to most, this has probably already caught the attention of certain forces which are opposed to our ideals. They'll likely be monitoring all public communications about this. Keep any major developments off the grid.
>>>Yes, forces like the evil Jew wizards and the Illuminati. Hey, this might be off-topic, but I just heard that pigs have learned to construct basic catapults so they can learn to fly!
