We were talking if light terror starts to become a much more common occurrence.

2018-10-30 00:36:29 UTC  

People will get sick of it.

2018-10-30 00:37:15 UTC  

Like in Tims vid about the HQ being shot up. If that happens more and the cops don't do anything then the people will do someting.

2018-10-30 01:04:32 UTC  

Has Tim ever voice opinions about Secular Talk, I'm so conflicted with Kyle nowadays.

2018-10-30 01:11:37 UTC  

I've never not been conflicted with Kyle

2018-10-30 01:12:49 UTC  

But on the subject of potential civil war/destabilization of society, nationalist Terrain Federation equivalent when

2018-10-30 01:15:23 UTC  

Don't get your hopes up, history is a story of centralization and decentralization. Right now we are nearing the end of the age of globalism.

2018-10-30 01:18:10 UTC  

Globalism lead to the mass centralization of culture and wealth in the hands of a few, once the EU falls and things start falling apart there will be mass decentralization and geopolitics might return to something akin to a pre League of Nations climate.

2018-10-30 01:18:26 UTC  

What part of that undermines my "hopes"?

2018-10-30 01:18:40 UTC  

Or was that aimed elsewhere?

2018-10-30 01:19:05 UTC  

A global government is undesirable

2018-10-30 01:19:32 UTC  

Too much compromise in policy would have to be achieved in order for it to work, and such compromises would make for a sub-par system.

2018-10-30 01:19:44 UTC  

"pre League of Nations climate" Um, so WWI or WWII?

2018-10-30 01:20:07 UTC  

Before the Great War.

2018-10-30 01:20:21 UTC  

Meaning lots of wars

2018-10-30 01:20:37 UTC  

The post WWII world has been the most conflict free in history

2018-10-30 01:21:00 UTC  

Yes

2018-10-30 01:21:53 UTC  

The current system the West is in was put in place in fear of Soviet aggression.

2018-10-30 01:22:38 UTC  

The United States funded the current world order to ensure peace and stability and to limit Soviet expansion.

2018-10-30 01:22:41 UTC  

Not initially

2018-10-30 01:22:53 UTC  

No, early on it was to help with reconstruction.

2018-10-30 01:23:14 UTC  

Exactly. And to avoid another German War.

2018-10-30 01:23:44 UTC  

Or perhaps more accurately, European War

2018-10-30 01:23:52 UTC  

I wasn't talking about a global government, I was talking about a nation-equivalent

2018-10-30 01:24:04 UTC  

The principles are the important part, not the size of the society

2018-10-30 01:24:51 UTC  

Once the EU falls when an inevitable recession hits the United States should return to a policy of isolationism and concern ourselves with North and South American politics.

2018-10-30 01:25:56 UTC  

We can lend-lease to former EU ally states but we shouldn't become belligerents in foreign wars unless there is a global threat again like the Nazis or Soviets.

2018-10-30 01:26:43 UTC  

I would also cut ties with China and watch as their entire economy falls apart while moving industry back home and to other American nations.

2018-10-30 01:27:47 UTC  

Exports to the US alone make up approximately 12% of their GDP.

2018-10-30 01:28:11 UTC  

And in total exports make up approximately 40% of their GDP.

2018-10-30 01:28:24 UTC  

Tbh I wouldn't mind the commonwealth becoming a proper trading bloc, as a leaf

2018-10-30 01:28:30 UTC  

I agree

2018-10-30 01:28:43 UTC  

Rescue the UK from Europe

2018-10-30 01:28:52 UTC  

The entire anglosphere would benefit from increased solidarity.

2018-10-30 01:51:04 UTC  

If anything the Commonwealth is slipping more apart.

2018-10-30 01:51:29 UTC  

When QEII passes, Australia and probably Canada will take the opportunity to become republics

2018-10-30 01:52:00 UTC  

Australia is just waiting for the grand ol' dame to pass since they don't want to do it to her.

2018-10-30 01:52:06 UTC  

Charles on the other hand...

2018-10-30 01:53:03 UTC  

Are...are Canada and Australia not already republics?

2018-10-30 01:53:25 UTC  

No. They still look to the British Crown as their head of state

2018-10-30 01:53:57 UTC  

They don't have an elected head of state, just a prime minister just like Britain.
