a federated EU would be a disaster

2019-09-07 11:29:43 UTC  

too many different languages and cultures

The culture gap between, say, a San Francisco creature and a Texan oil rig worker is pretty tremendous.

2019-09-07 11:30:14 UTC  

yeah won't argue with that

2019-09-07 11:30:26 UTC  

But if people learn to live and learn from each other while respecting differences, the lesson could theoretically be universal

2019-09-07 11:30:29 UTC  

we have regional snowflakes here too

Generally, cultures in the US are aligned along fairly broad regions, though there are exceptions.

2019-09-07 11:31:00 UTC  

Hence the "moral good" in having states

The original idea was that states had full ability to run their own internal affairs, and the federal government was there to mediate between states and deal with foreign powers. States don't really have rights anymore, if you ask the federal government.

2019-09-07 11:32:10 UTC  

Yeah, but the states dont trust themselves

2019-09-07 11:32:59 UTC  

Everyone has hierarchies skewed and they see the higher ups as big daddy whom in which we all supposedly trust

2019-09-07 11:33:02 UTC  

I am an advocate of a World Wide Technoracy based on Meritocracy, but I'm going to die and wait 10 thousand years before that even comes to light

2019-09-07 11:33:28 UTC  

Maybe if china and america had a baby

2019-09-07 11:33:37 UTC  

and each entity has a council instead of a "minister"

2019-09-07 11:34:23 UTC  

yeah system crash

2019-09-07 11:34:34 UTC  

pretty accurate

2019-09-07 11:35:36 UTC

The shame about the downfall of American culture is that it's only making everyone unhappy. Before, if you wanted to live in a hippy trippy shithole, you could just move to california. IF you wanted to be left alone, you'd move to the midwest. But, they're being sorta forced into being the same, kicking and screaming the whole way.

2019-09-07 11:36:34 UTC  

Wtf happened to peace and love and shit

2019-09-07 11:36:38 UTC  

eventually things will run out

2019-09-07 11:36:52 UTC  

What will run out

2019-09-07 11:36:53 UTC  

parasitism is not sustained indefinitely

2019-09-07 11:37:15 UTC  

but the most vocal of them are kids that never worked a day in their lives

2019-09-07 11:37:18 UTC  

and have rich parents

2019-09-07 11:37:31 UTC  

and no sense of how to manage wealth

2019-09-07 11:37:38 UTC  

or be responsible with it

2019-09-07 11:37:57 UTC  

Fucking burning man

2019-09-07 11:38:11 UTC  

Festival goers

2019-09-07 11:38:19 UTC  

in day to day life this translate into them inheriting whatever their parents help build and they destroying it with their lack of discipline and common sense

2019-09-07 11:38:31 UTC  

driving everyone away

2019-09-07 11:38:34 UTC  

until they are alone

2019-09-07 11:38:42 UTC  

and the system crashes in totality

2019-09-07 11:38:58 UTC  

and they are swept away if there are mechanisms in place to salvage whatever it's left in their wake

2019-09-07 11:39:01 UTC  

Maybe youre projecting a wee bit

2019-09-07 11:39:12 UTC  

this usually happens in the private sector

2019-09-07 11:39:18 UTC  

with sheltered leftists

2019-09-07 11:39:27 UTC  

that inherit mommy and daddys businesses

2019-09-07 11:40:20 UTC  

Idk if thats really happened en masse quite yet

2019-09-07 11:40:40 UTC
