Very interesting

the massachusetts legislature threatened to secede in 1841

see the european union wouldnt be so bad if all european countries didnt start off hating each other

thats what the us was

little known fact

imagine the european union but all the member states actually like each other

that was us

also less autism

The EU wants to become its own country like the US <:ree:378697077066039297>

yeah but they cant

That’s the good part

because they all hate each other

germans hate frenchies and frenchies hate italians and so on and so forth

They like to leach off eachother too

Greece needs all the shekels it can get

yeah the small ones are basically the dont talk to me or my son versions of the big ones

not even 20 years after threatening secession from the union, massachusetts was sending its boys to kill their southern brethren for seceding

*I r o n y*

the secession was perfectly legal reeee

lincoln was a rude dude for not allowing it and then trying to work it out during his presidency

>letting your country fracture itself whenever it wants

the problem started when the union just outright told the states to fuck off before listening to what they wanted

lincoln should have been assassinated MUCH sooner

"you should not be able to impose laws on us territories that aren't states yet"

that's literally it

Eh, i could never advocate for assassination but i see your point

>not working with your countrymen to better understand the issues they face that are totally different to the ones you face in the north and instead just saying "eh we'll just crush em in like 6 months" but then you get your ass handed to you for 5 years straight

yea that

Read Guns of the South if you want a book about the confederacy winning the war

assassination of political leaders is a gray area in my book

It also has time traveling South African boers

not in mine

they need to have skin in the game

if you don't like your leaders kill them idfc

think about how shitty someone has to be to get assassinated

Assassinations are just morally wrong the way I see it, but I can see a point being made for them

either that or how insane someone has to be to assassinate someone

and telling them how you feel about assassinations probably wont do any good

i think it was montesquieu whose preferred form of government was “monarchy tempered by the occasional assassination”

<:bigbrain:385729869209665536> Assassinate leaders of other countries so they can become destabilized and the Jews can have one less enemy

there are very, very few assassinations that can be justified. Even if someone deserves to die, killing the leader of a nation will often spiral it into chaos unless it has a good enough system to ensure it doesn't.
