Fellow citizens of the Curia,
Firstly, I would like to thank mishkin for reminding me of how much this specific candidate deserves to be given the citizenship for his exceptional contributions in the D&D fora. In what concerns the subject of the thread, Kritias, I personally consider him to be one of the most active qualitative contributions in matters of politics, history and even morality. He initially came to my attention approximately one year ago, during the heated discussions over the Macedonia Name Dispute. Kritias made a very positive impression, thanks to his maturity, serenity, sophistication and particularly interesting answers, always supported by coherent and convincing arguments often referring to certain perspectives I had not even imagined.
Kritias himself presents a very comprehensive list of his older and more recent contributions, so here I will only cite his latest thread, which examines the relationship between Orwell's 1984 and current right-wing narratives. It accurately demonstrates the scholarly level of Kritias, his reliance on solid arguments and duly referenced serious articles and his ability to resist against the temptation of a hostile flame-war. Especially in what concerns the latter, you can see how Kritias, in the discussion about Portland (linked by the candidate below), refuses to respond in kind towards clearly bad-faith debating and passive-aggressive trolling. On the contrary, Kritias' comments offer the site a sorely needed breath of fresh air, by increasing the quality of the debate and adding some new variety to a place somewhat marked by reactionarism and extremism. Therefore, I believe that Kritias' contributions to the political-historical section of the forum, as well as his older writings, match and surpass the requirements expected from the Civitates, which is why I confidently propose him for the citizenship.
