Ergo if a bunch of Mexican suddenly replaced everyone in Israel, given they had Israeli citizenship, they would be Israeli and citizens of Israel. They may then change the name and allegiance of Israel. If they are not citizens and attempt to do so, Israel will remain Israel.

@DrRisen no

A nation is a large body of people united by common descent, history, culture, or language

That occupy an area

A nation-state is the government aspect of a nation

A country is not a nation, a country has no common culture or history or language

A country would be the United States in it's current form

The U.S is *not* a nation

Most European countries are infact not countries but nation-states

The nation-state is what nationalists protect, not a country inheritly

The right for a common culture to govern itself

Yes

This is indeed not what America ius

*is

@Deleted User A caveat then, by the standards everyone *actually ends up using* because seeing the US as a state is convenient.

@DrRisen Convenience leaves out important details, just because most people are too lazy to know the differences doesn't mean they are right in doing so

@everyone Daily Question 🔖

- Is the modern prison system adequate? If not, how would you change it?

Focus more on rehabilitation

In the United States?

Focus more on punishment

Less on punitive justice

Replace prisons with labor camps

We should do what Norway does

As it leads to reconvictions

Which is what we all DON'T want

@Deleted User actually a good idea

Replace prisons with labor camps and make it not by time but by income

retarded

Plus less minor offences should get prison as it leads to overcrowding and is more burdensome for the tax payer

If you commit a crime such as theft worth $10,000 you must labor until is is equal to double your crime

yes slavery

awesome

Labor Camps

Maximum sentence 20-40 years.
Give prisoners more freedom, redesign the actual prisons to be better on mental health.
Legalize hard drugs and make addicts go to mandatory rehab.

no its not

Absolutely not

make the prisoners do something useful

Drug dealers should be hanged

usa has like a million or so

in jails

most of them
