The Anti-Travis League, commonly shortened to the ATL, was a coalition of anti-drama pro-democracy users of various political views on the SpongeBob Fanon Wiki. It is the first political party, and one of the few active ones. It was founded on January 4, 2018 as a response to then-administrator The Terrible Travis' draconian ideals. Though in its' rise to power in early 2018, the party was authoritarian and hawkish, the group today, under the leadership of Locknloaded23 to support user rights (right to vote, freedom of speech, etc) and to maintain a drama-free wiki environment. The league was closed on June 20th, 2021

The Party Leader position is called the "Prime Minister," because Squidnerd thinks it looks attractive and the fact that prime ministers are the party leaders of the largest political party, which the ATL is in the wiki.

When the ATL first started, and peaked in February 2018, the party had a hardcore right-wing populist stance, to the point of mob rule. The ATL has committed fascist actions during its' January 2018 Travis Demotion Campaign, including: banning rival political parties such as the British Fish Alliance, banning Travis from voting, and forcibly seizing fanfiction. However, a reformation program that started in February 2018, as well as a shift to the left-wing after Locknloaded23's adoption, brought the ATL to a new age of leftist populism, where it still stands today.

The league was given back to Kelpy G in March of 2020, but on July 13th Lock proposed adoption of the league once again. The proposal passed July 20th, 2020, making Lock the official owner of the league.

History

After months of tension between unpopular administrator The Terrible Travis and the users of the wiki, Squidnerd took it upon himself to create the league on the breezy evening of January 4, 2018.

The British Fish Alliance, an opposition party, was created the day after by The Terrible Travis to further carry his socalist and anti-user agenda.

The ELILA was created as an affiliate of the Anti-Travis League. The two parties agree on all stances except on content restriction, where the ELILA takes a more liberal approach.

On January 27, 2018, Squidnerd left the wiki and announced that DanzxvFan8275 would take over the Anti-Travis League soon. The next day, Squidnerd transferred ownership. His last action to the political party was changing the motto to "Eternally faithful to the wiki no matter how bad it gets," a slogan used by famed ex-admin Ponyo Fan.

Shortly before Squidnerd transferred ownership to DanzxvFan8275, he issued a statement condemning fascism and instructing party members to always choose community consensus to gain power.

Just three days later, DanzxvFan8275 resigned the party leader position and gave it back to Squidnerd, and the latter accepted it despite notifying members he was leaving three days ago. Squidnerd stated that his new agenda would move the Anti-Travis League away from the right and into the centre-left.

One week later after that, Squidnerd resigned from the Anti-Travis League due to a treaty he signed with Travis, with the terms on him being that and withdrawing a proposal that would give him all of Pineapple Entertainment. In exchange, he would receive Leader Plankton!. Even though the ATL would lose significant gains, the leaders of the ATL agreed to sign it due to reducing controversy (roughly half of the SBFW population oppose adoption by community consensus) and making peace with Travis. The new party leaders are ElectroElf and DanzxvFan8275.

On May 1, 2018, user Mr. Bailey created the New Anti-Travis Organization. Despite having the ultimate goal of ending Travis, it's highly authoritarian policies made Squidnerd immediately condemn it. On the issue, Squidnerd said that "[NATO and the ATL] are anti-Travis, but that's where the similarities end". The ATL is far more popular than NATO.

On May 8, 2018, the ATL entered the entertainment industry with the five-part miniseries We Don't Need Your Kind Here.

On May 14, 2018, Squidnerd called a ceasefire with Travis, wanting to improve better relations. On the issue, he said "there are some very fine people on both [fascist and democratic] sides, and with both hands working together, a better SBFW could be built".

On August 23, 2018, Squidnerd made an announcement in which he regretted creating the group and how it created more harm than good. However, he still thinks that the ATL had been "notable" and will not back down on it's pending featured content nomination. The ATL is by far Squidnerd's most recognizable contribution to the wiki.

On July 23, 2019, user Locknloaded23, a strong supporter of Travis, proposed adoption of the league. The proposal passed, and as of July 30, 2019, Lock is the official new owner of the league. On that same day TheJasbre202 retired from the organization after feeling "burned out" and bored of the league. Squidnerd initially did not recognize the new ownership of the party, but did so on October 12, 2019, when a prime minister coalation treaty was made between Squidnerd and Locknloaded23.

During her sole reign, Locknloaded23 removed more extremist provisions from the party platform (ex. abolishing the proposal policy), and on September 28, 2019, she changed the league's logo to resemble the flag of ANTIFA.

On October 12, 2019, former party leader Squidnerd introduced a proposal to have the party transfered back to him. Squidnerd shortly after withdrawed the request, since he and Locknloaded23 struck a deal that Squidnerd would be co-prime minister.

The party, which was previously known as the Anti-Travis League, was renamed the SpongeFan Prosperity League on October 18, 2019, following a bureaucratic campaign by Travis on stopping wiki drama which has ravaged the wiki starting January 2019 and still aches to this day. Squidnerd and Locknloaded unanimously agreed on the decision the previous day. On this, Squidnerd stated: "it's time to stop this stupid socialist nonsense, and re-direct the party to actually make this wiki prosper. And that includes changing its' name to something which doesn't disapprove of the user who made this place prosper very much."

On January 22nd, 2020, Locknloaded pulled out of the agreement and renamed the league to its former title.

Kelpy was given the league back on March 22nd, 2020 after Lock agreed to it. However, on July 13th, 2020, Lock once again proposed adoption of the league, stating the league "deserved her," starting the "#GiveLockTheATL" campaign. Lock regained ownership of the league on July 20th, 2020.

Lock officially shut down the league on June 20th 2021, due to the long period of inactivity. Soon after closing the league she published a blog explaining her reasons for closing it.

Anti-Travis League Ownership Dispute

main article: Anti-Travis League Ownership Dispute

Under Construction Yeah. This article is coming. It'll be here in a few minutes.

on July 23rd, 2019, current ATL owner Locknloaded23 put up a proposal to acquire full ownership of the ATL since Kelpy G was inactive. The proposal passed, and Locknloaded23 was given full ownership of the league.

However, Kelpy G disapproved of this, stating that Lock "stole" the league from him while he was inactive. On October 12, 2019, Kelpy introduced a proposal to get ownership of the league back. The proposal was closed however when Lock and Kelpy struck an agreement.

the league was renamed to the SpongeFan Prosperity League on October 18th, 2019. However, in January of 2020, Locknloaded23 ditched the deal and renamed the party back to the ATL.

since then, Lock and Kelpy have been fighting for ownership of the league.

Platform

• Protect Freedom of Speech.
• Subsidize quality spin-off's with promotion and (upon request) extra help.
• Oppose fascism and dictatorship.
• Oppose war criminals.
• Support the creation of the SpongeFan Criminal Court.

The initial platform of the ATL was quite extreme, and included repealing the proposal policy and creating a government-owned spin-off network, but these ideas were taken off soon after Locknloaded23 adopted it.

Prime Ministers

Prime Ministers are the leaders of the party—they normally give the official sponsorship, initiate Discord meetings, and are primarily asked by the media on what policy the ATL has.

Party Meetings

Party Meetings will be held on at least a day's notice on Discord, and they will discuss the affairs of the wiki. They usually occur at a time of intense drama.

Party Conventions were proposed during January 2018, but were cancelled on October 13, 2019, after the 2018 and 2019 conventions, which were scheduled to take place in April of their respective years, weren't formally started.

Fascism Allegations

While being accused of holding fascist worldview by it's insane opponent, it actually hosts the largest concentration of liberals on the wiki. Many users known for their liberal standpoint, including DanzxvFan8275 and Rocky Lobster, are longtime ATL members, with the former holding the prime minister position from January 27, 2018 to January 30, 2018 and again from February 7, 2018 to May 1, 2018.

On March 21, 2020, founder Squidnerd admitted that some actions taken by the ATL under his leadership could be rightfully considered fascist, characterized by the disenfranchisement of political opponents, as well the seizure of their property and handouts of those gains to ATL supporters. Squidnerd has also branded DanzxvFan8275 as a traitor, due to him being a key figure in the ATL government in 2018, but then switching sides to the British Fish Alliance and is now a leading proponent calling for Squidnerd's arrest and trial on the wiki. Less than an hour after making this statement, though, Squidnerd announced he has forgiven DanzxvFan8275 after he announced his support of the ATL being under the full control of the former.

Slogans

• "Eternally faithful to the wiki no matter how bad it gets."
• "Stopping damn fools from controlling this wiki since 2018."
• "Kelpy is a god amongst men"

Awards

Due to the Anti-Travis League's hardcore populist stance during the Kelpy-Travis Conflict, many users, from regulars to bureaucrats, have approved of the party.

Liz Approves This This very article has been approved by FireMatch.

DanzxvFan8275 Seal of Approval Anti-Travis League has been given the thumbs up by the sexy socialist damn fool bureaucrat known as DanzxvFan8275. If you see this on an article, then it should be pretty damn good. Or, at least good by my standards. Either way, it’s worth a read.
