Then local problems don't get recognised thus they begin to fall back when it comes to capital cities and other majority cities

2019-10-20 00:22:41 UTC  

Localization is good for subdividing power and keeping things balanced to the area with the right tools. If all you have is a hammer, you’re going to use it on all your problems. Local governments act as a metaphorical toolkit.

2019-10-20 00:22:56 UTC  

I'm dabbling with federalism and seeing it would work with the UKMso I'll get back to you on that one

Local problems are ignored more in local government than in federal government

2019-10-20 00:24:44 UTC  

Have a local problem? File a complaint with the government and it'll be taken care of.

2019-10-20 00:26:02 UTC  

Then make local problems a local government priority central government should be for the nation

2019-10-20 00:28:44 UTC  

@sandwitch How do you ensure local identity dosent exist

2019-10-20 00:29:16 UTC  

?

2019-10-20 00:30:47 UTC  

@sandwitch Giving autonomy to regional governments may lead to rebellion, regional identity, etc

2019-10-20 00:32:49 UTC  

Ah I see

2019-10-20 00:34:07 UTC  

I'll use the UK as an example because a lot of people sort of want independence from us like Cornwall for some reason

2019-10-20 00:34:49 UTC  

So maybe teach children about unity, make sure representatives have all their voices heard

2019-10-20 00:35:24 UTC  

True, let China keep control of hong king, Tibet, uighars, etc

2019-10-20 00:35:26 UTC  

Very woke

2019-10-20 00:36:16 UTC  

Yeah you really can't stop people from feeling linked to where they are born

2019-10-20 00:37:03 UTC  

Nothing wrong with regional identity. Humans are meant to live in small communities, and having bigger systems with more control isolates everyone

Take London for example

2019-10-20 00:37:57 UTC  

No federal government

2019-10-20 00:38:01 UTC  

London's a great place but if you look up to the North of England you see the disparity

2019-10-20 00:38:36 UTC  

Federal government should be there to help negotiate with inter regional issues and international issues

2019-10-20 00:38:41 UTC

2019-10-20 00:39:39 UTC  

It should be a voluntary choice to be a part of a federal beuracracy

2019-10-20 00:39:48 UTC  

If states see a value in it, they will join

2019-10-20 00:40:12 UTC  

If it serves them little purpose and just centralizes power for itself, states can leave

2019-10-20 00:41:28 UTC  

Otherwise you get people like the Chinese President who said he will destroy the bodies of people who try to have states want to leave China, and turn their bones to dust

2019-10-20 00:41:32 UTC  

Shut up libertarian

2019-10-20 00:41:41 UTC  

Thats not a valid argument

2019-10-20 00:41:46 UTC  

Name calling

2019-10-20 00:41:46 UTC  

Extreme Unitarianism is the only way

2019-10-20 00:42:04 UTC  

Political power grows from the barrel of a gun - Mao Zedong

2019-10-20 00:42:21 UTC  

Its just common sense, government is just a tool to make our life better, thats it

2019-10-20 00:42:29 UTC  

Wrong

2019-10-20 00:42:34 UTC  

That is not it's only goal

2019-10-20 00:42:40 UTC  

It is

2019-10-20 00:42:43 UTC  

No

2019-10-20 00:42:47 UTC  

Wym

2019-10-20 00:42:59 UTC  

Explain, stop just making claims then just not explanaing lol

2019-10-20 00:43:28 UTC  

As we can see from the west, better "lives" have led to degenerate behaviors and extreme materialistism

2019-10-20 00:43:57 UTC
