I'm dabbling with federalism and seeing it would work with the UKMso I'll get back to you on that one
@sandwitch Wrong
Local problems are ignored more in local government than in federal government
Have a local problem? File a complaint with the government and it'll be taken care of.
Then make local problems a local government priority central government should be for the nation
@sandwitch How do you ensure local identity dosent exist
?
@sandwitch Giving autonomy to regional governments may lead to rebellion, regional identity, etc
Ah I see
I'll use the UK as an example because a lot of people sort of want independence from us like Cornwall for some reason
So maybe teach children about unity, make sure representatives have all their voices heard
True, let China keep control of hong king, Tibet, uighars, etc
Very woke
Yeah you really can't stop people from feeling linked to where they are born
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
No federal government
London's a great place but if you look up to the North of England you see the disparity
Federal government should be there to help negotiate with inter regional issues and international issues
It should be a voluntary choice to be a part of a federal beuracracy
If states see a value in it, they will join
If it serves them little purpose and just centralizes power for itself, states can leave
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
Shut up libertarian
Thats not a valid argument
Name calling
Extreme Unitarianism is the only way
Political power grows from the barrel of a gun - Mao Zedong
Its just common sense, government is just a tool to make our life better, thats it
Wrong
That is not it's only goal
It is
No
Wym
Explain, stop just making claims then just not explanaing lol
As we can see from the west, better "lives" have led to degenerate behaviors and extreme materialistism
Fucking mobile excuse my typing
The state should be designed to encourage virtue
Degenerate behaviours and materialism is the fault of the society's philosophers, teachers, and parents, not cause of a result of people having better lives
