Yeah, that's the culture war.
I don't want to eliminate everyone who's NOT American.
I just want America to be America.
I want Texas to keep being Texas, specifically.
There's people who don't like America as it is. And they see everything as something bigger.
To bad they cant be independent kek
If everyone was America
America wouldn't be superior anymore.
:/
If Everyone was Texas, Texas wouldn't be superior anymore. :\
^ True Texan here.

If everyone is America then nobody is America
For me, I think there's a far bigger issue at play and that's local control.
As the state gets bigger, it gets more distant
You can have the best State in the Union but I get the best Commonwealth
And can tend to greater corruption.
small scale government has lacked attention imo
It really has.
it goes unnoticed
people just vote for whoever they vaguely know
And is being threatened by the internet
Abso-fucking-lutely.
Local Control
the more local the better.
The Nation can't dictate your home's rules effectively.
The state can't dictate your city's rules effectively.
It's not just that the internet is bringing together larger groups. It's bringing people who are geographically disparate into the same echo chambers.
Some People lives in a shit hole, even though their's in an awesome State, keep it local
The United Nations can't dictate my life effectively.
the Federal System is supposed to allow for bottom up to some degree
That's the whole idea, really.
It's supposed to be bottom up entirely.
To prevent local governments from fighting each other and organize common defense.
UN cant dictate anything techincally
I know. I'm just saying.
In the US, the federal constitution didn't apply until the last century.
the members arnt really obligated to follow it
CA could literally ban guns and it wouldn't have been an issue. TX could ban abortion.
The UN's bigger issue is that it's a complete mess.
