All that nationhood needs to exist is its expression by the people who constitute the nation, not an abstract sense of ought-justice about history. "You don't deserve to have a country cos of what happened in the history" is an insane, childlike, morally illiterate position that could only be found in the worst corners of the internet, like minion boomer memes and austrian book site.

And anyway France has nuclear weapons and could turn America into dust. So whether they in particular deserve nationhood is immaterial. They have it and no amount of crying about American exceptionalism will get rid of it.

It's not about American exceptionalism at all my friend. Both France and Germany deserved to be crushed under the totalitarian boot of the mock philosopher-king Stalin. The savagery of the French post-revolution and the Germans are directly responsible for the incredible amount of useless bloodletting to drench the continent. I want our country to have no part of Europe.

Perhaps it deserves to die if it means not becoming a technopunk dystopia.

I imagine that the technopunk dystopia will not be particularly democratic either.

On the very least most of them thankfully won't or can't breed due to their own choice.

I need to get to work on transporting Roosevelt into the future. Its time for some trustbusting.

True, but it can be a family tradition if one tries hard enough.

I am referring to the fact some of these people tend to take the black pill and sterilize themselves in the ultimate act of rebellion against the system.

True, everyone always has one of those types of family members that's funny until you get into an argument with them over things like the "racism=power +privilege" sphere.

Power and Privilege are the same thing.

You're thinking prejudice+power, which is the equation for systematic/governmental racism, but not individual racism which just requires prejudice.

I mean, yes, the French Revolution and Nazi Germany were terrible, but are you really sure that balkanizing France and Germany is the best solution? At least the Germany has reckoned with its crimes and resolved never to let it happen again.

Yes. And doing that does not mean their ideology will die out, seeing as people can change their ideology. That's how Shakers existed for so long despite being celibate.

To be fair it helped that Shakers helped run orphanages thus gaining new recruits.

Powerful, wealthy individuals co-opting the press to legitimize their power and prevent challenges to the status quo? You don’t say!

I'm an ex-Mormon whose parents were both Mormon, so I'm maybe not the best person to be saying that to?
