good

we cant let socialism spread

What's everyone's opinion on minarchism?

I guess I am close to it since I want the minimum possible government

Lol

I think this was already posted here

I discovered minarchy and i want to know more

As a bong I don't know what freedom is

States grow they don't stay "mini" for long

U mean the government or the territory?
@WayoftheRoad

both, it's about what they can get away with

The government does grow,the territory doesn't,look at Armenia,or Serbia,they used to be huge,now they're not

US is a rare exeption,because just like Russia on the border there were only backwards nomads,and they had guns and plague and technology

China doesn't are about Hong Kong or Tibet?

China is different,look up sinicization

Russia doesn't are about the Ukraine and Georgia etc?

The US monroe dortrine?

Ur listing great powers,and if they get territory,others loose it and it always balances out

Manifest destiny?

Most states loose territory

"great powers" "what they can get away with" it follows they can get away with more

Britian didn't give up their empire because they had a change of heart

Yeah it was unprofitable

Most colonies became more trouble than they're worth

India boycotted their goods,there were resistance movements,it took a lot of manpower to keep it and they couldn't afford it

French tried to hold on but eventually they figured out that they could release the nations and use a new form of colonizations

so literally what they can get away with

Russia be weak

China be weird

America be failing

India be afraid of loosing water

@BorisSlavSuperstar that is very true

ik

Slavs could replace the western natives if they just had more sex

The Trump lawyer team are sounding like they have a real case right now, they have a lot of legit lawyers talking big talk
Not sure why they haven't shown what evidence they have yet though
