It really isn't.
a federated EU would be a disaster
too many different languages and cultures
The culture gap between, say, a San Francisco creature and a Texan oil rig worker is pretty tremendous.
yeah won't argue with that
But if people learn to live and learn from each other while respecting differences, the lesson could theoretically be universal
we have regional snowflakes here too
Generally, cultures in the US are aligned along fairly broad regions, though there are exceptions.
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.
Yeah, but the states dont trust themselves
Everyone has hierarchies skewed and they see the higher ups as big daddy whom in which we all supposedly trust
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
Maybe if china and america had a baby
and each entity has a council instead of a "minister"
yeah system crash
pretty accurate
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.
eventually things will run out
What will run out
parasitism is not sustained indefinitely
but the most vocal of them are kids that never worked a day in their lives
and have rich parents
and no sense of how to manage wealth
or be responsible with it
Fucking burning man
Festival goers
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
driving everyone away
until they are alone
and the system crashes in totality
and they are swept away if there are mechanisms in place to salvage whatever it's left in their wake
Maybe youre projecting a wee bit
this usually happens in the private sector
with sheltered leftists
that inherit mommy and daddys businesses
Idk if thats really happened en masse quite yet
ahh no
