Round'm up, put them in a room, make them all be friends. They all have that in common.

Jokes aside, maintaining relationships is not easy, and the capitalism does not make it easier.

Lol, I mean lmfao even.

Happy Birthday comrade

Do you like being the global economic superpower with hegemonic influence over the world economy? Because this is a good fucking way to get other nations to tell you and the World Bank to fuck right off. Can't seize assets that are not part of your banking regime, and this definitely incentivizes de-dollarization.

• And who is it that will decide the right to rule? Be it us, he who were born to work the fields, such as God has willed it? What a fool's idea! It is called the Devine Right to Rule, we shalt not question the Lord's grand design, to do so is to take the path Satan walks! Those hedonistic, half naked, layabouts who rule through Democracy, worship gods apart from the one true God, are shameful heretics.
• So if there is no Vessel who owns the land, then what? Is it we who own the land? What a silly notion. There are so many of us, how would that even be enforced? Are you then to tell me that to enforce the rule of law we would also have to establish our own lords, with whom we provide the swords, and shields and horses? What laws would these Lords of the People even enforce? The King is a decedent of God and his rules are God's rules! I've never talked to no God, have you? How insane a system to describe.
• Write me a law right now, a law that makes this all make sense. What if I was a man who wanted to own many lands, and wanted to collect taxes on that land, but those people within that land ALSO wanted to own portions of that land?? What would that law even look like?? This theoretical nonsense about free markets and self-governance all sounds great on paper, but you can't even give me one example of a law under that system that makes any sense.
• You're just describing Feudalism with more steps. What do you mean, the King will always want his throne? You can't just abolish the monarchy, there are parts of the Feudal system that are totally fine, and I don't understand why we should throw every part of it away. King Ulrik III is a great ruler, and I'm sure his son would be as well.

Could this result in a balkanization effect? Lots of exit talk in the last 10 years (caliexit, texit). Could conditions be reaching similar states that invoked things like The Hartford Convention?

My thinking is there would probably need to be more external intervention for that to a happen. Which I think aligns with history.

Did something change since this: https://www.dailysignal.com/2023/10/19/democrat-senator-blocks-hawley-resolution-condemning-antisemitism-college-campuses/

It should be a default imo. Even just an instance icon would be fine.

That's how parliament works in the UK. Bunch of dictators over there in the Queen's England.

Didn't you know? It's the 20s all over again. Musolini came into power in 1922. Welcome to the 100 year backslide.

Close to half of American adults eat propaganda for breakfast.

Should he though? He's trying to be a debate pervert on a Lemmy post from his mastodon account. Maybe that's deliberate, so he doesn't have to see all the down votes.
