That's not NRx, that's libertarianism
idk if that's something debatable @D.iogenes i guess its an axiom
The Problem with the US is that it needs to be made smaller
I would have thought an NRx would consider that degenerate
split into smaller nations
the US is too big to govern
and too "diverse"
Coastal Elite rule the middle states with no politcal influence
Imo a decentralized modified confederacy would work fine without splitting anything
@D.iogenes " Coastal Elite rule the middle states with no politcal influence". That is geopolitics.
Wow you're so smart
the regions with people who dont care about freedom would only be able to fuck themselves up locally, and so everyone else would be unaffected
No one knew what geopolitics was before you said that
kek
I like the idea of a confederacy
I'm only for federalism within a totally homogeneous nation
Like Ireland
We have strayed from the Founders' vision for America
It's small, and has very clear boundaries historically
a confederacy would be more true to the founders than what we have now
I'm still learning NRx. From what I understand, it's anti-democracy yet 100% freedom of association. Libertarianism is not 100% anti-democracy... Govm should be run as businesses, not as a corrupt political establishment.
Being an island makes things easy
tru
Agrarianism doesn't work in a post-industrial society
sadly
Wrong
Ireland is agrarian
Ireland is a strange beast though

@An Craoibhín Aoibhinn Geopolitics doesn't care what label you give the economy. Geopolitics change very little over a long time.
Ireland has low population density, barely any foreigners
If it can be done here other countries can do it
America would not be able to become agrarian unless there was some kind of widespread catastrophe
america is another beast entirely
Lower population doesn't matter unless you have foreigners coming in
Because you've subsidised animal like breeding in cities
Cut the money and it will naturally return
Ireland has it pretty well b/c they have very low corporate taxes which means a ton of American companies use it as a corporate safe haven
That's a meme, they don't pay any taxes
The taxes they do pay are bribes
