Amid the ongoing shutdown, the HHS secretary wiped out entire offices that investigate disease outbreaks, manage infectious disease responses and collect data.

    The fall of america was guaranteed when they made the choice to remain an imperial state.

    Like butter over too much bread, the US has spread itself so far, so thin, as to dilute its identity and contain too many, too different ideas.

    The interconnectedness of the modern World was always going to result in the downfall of the US as a single entity. California is effected by Florida’s decisions because that’s how this country works. But now they can Fight online about it. Tensions rise. The powder keg will blow.

    Edit: spllng

      This sounds DANGEROUSLY close to immigrants bad. And, like, do you want to leave the tyrannies of the world unanswered. I’d certianly prefer the hegemony of 2015 America over any modern Auth hellscape

        No no no that’s not what I meant. I ABSOLUTELY see what you mean though.

        I was more speaking on the idea that people with similar ideas tend to congregate, but when you’ve got such different places as Florida and California for example, there is bound to be significant infighting. That’s like the UK sharing a tent with Iraq. They’re separated by like 2500 miles, these are people’s with different priorities, different lifestyles, different cultures. Its not to say they can’t get along, but it should be under a federation more similar to the EU, a coalition of independent smaller Nations. NOT directly under the same national flag, and forced to be under the same code of laws.

        Like, I get that this is skating the line of being xenophobic, but my intention isn’t to prevent people from coming into a space, it is to prevent the space from expanding to contain people who don’t want to be in it.

        Edit: my distance was wrong, its still the same frlm place to place though

          Different cultures? Hardly, the only reason there so much fighting is because the southern strategy was so effective they took it nation wide. Its intentional. Its not hard to get all of us to sing along we all loved James Dean for 50 years before this and it wasn’t an issue. The only thing that was promised is when the rich have more power than entire countries they will use that to solidify their rule. America is a testing grouns for hostile corporate take over of a nation.
