Kind of a vague question. But I guess anyone that responds can state their interpretation.

Edit: I guess I’m asking because everything I’ve learned about America seems to not be what I was told? Idk how to explain it. Like it feels like USA is one event away from a civil war outright corruption and turning into a D class country.

    I find nations problematic because they are units that are too large and therefore are controlled by groups not easily overseen and almost impossible to make accountable by the population.

    The USA is not only a nation but an empire, which is like a nation with an integrated, violently imposed pyramid scheme.

    If only we could find a way to organize into independent smaller units that federate into larger units and remain tolerant of the differences of the smaller units. Ironically that is what the USA seems to have attempted to do with their united states thing?

      The US tried that. It was called the Articles of Confederation. It didn’t really work out.

      I could not observe any attempts at reorganizing (except Trumpeltier’s little vomit recently) during the last decades.

      So: wtf are you talking about?
