reality does not care about your feelings, bucko

That is, the US - for the sake of our species- can't go back into the isolationism of the years of yore.

I mean it's not just species

you'd also lose out massivley

as the polity

you get chep shit from around the world for a reason

you'd have to RESTRUCTURE you ENTIRE monetary system

you'd lose huge amounts of power

it's not ever possible to predict, I don;t think, the problems you would cause to yourselves

because a lot of what you get and are accustomed to

is a direct or indirect result of your Empire status

it's not just a matter of there being wars abroad. It;s also about internal wealth

Generally Empires that stop being Empires don;t get *richer* in that process...

Right, the thing is that the world economy is a particularly vulnerable beastie.

On an earlier note, politics *is* entertaining.

So is CKII tbh

True, true.

but if you do politics for entertainment

you a tard

go play CKII

Though CKII needs multiple people to be really entertaining.

And, what's so off about politics for entertainment?

same thing that's off about raising kids for entertainment

it's deeply immoral

Nah, that's different.

it's not

politics is even more responsibility then raising a kid

*Raising* children is an action directly involving children.

politics is an action directly involving the tax man and armies

which may or may not affect millions of children

Politics? Commenting and discussions on the subject matter is part of politics- that are not policy.

well, discussing politics in a bar, as I said, is not really politics in my mind
