this is the conflict of identity
talking about the initial reasons for it
no way than actions of warfare can solve it
it will happen sooner or later
Americans will never be willing to vote for some representatives in Westminster
none of those living in the colonies wanted direct rule, but they were willing to wait for devolved powers to be granted to them
the Canadians, Australians and kiwis got dominion status sometime in the 30s
they didn't use violence to try and take those powers
fair enough, the Americans did
i just don't think it was worth spilling the blood of their fellows over
at first it is quite mild
but all the time things suddenly got heated
like explosion
no one planned a revolution from the beginning
but in the end, it had to be like this
i'd agree with that
the countries under britain's control only remained there for so long as britain had the power to keep them
as soon as british power waned every colony was pushing for independence or more autonomy
it's the fault of the british government for losing the power and influence required to maintain the empire
and another thing
but then they realize that the British tradition is corrupted
so they decide to segregate from that
at least britain and america have remained allies
been listening to the history of rome, fascinating stuff
very frustrating to look our statesmen and politicians today, when compared to even the most mundane leaders from history, no will to truly lead
i think in america this problem stems from our decaying homogeneity
how can you even earnestly lead a country like america and appeal to "the people" when half of them will eventually never agree with the interests of the other
in recent months i have grown further and further anti democracy
i think the most reasonable return into a real republic is to set maybe wealth and military service requirements for voting and serving an office
this wont completely eliminate minority and women voting but will reduce it
a repeal of race/gender suffrage directly would never pass for along time
The feasible way to do that is to limit the franchise to taxpayers
If you don't pay taxes you don't vote
even that is too broad i think
are all republics democratic?
maybe certain tax brackets
no
democracy =/= republic
republics can have democratic tendencies
but are not truly democratic
