America should be broken down into thousands of small city states, each 36 square miles. So basically every township a kingdom.

In about 500 years the natural borders between whatever regions are still habitable will have mostly worked themselves out, but this feels a bit like talking about whether it’s time for Balkanization in the Balkans sometime during the reign of Diocletian.

You’ll never convince a moderator that you aren’t trolling once they make up their minds about such things. They tend to back each other up, too.

Often, that's because they are right, or at least very close. Adding the "(re)tard" suffix to an ethnic/national group is very clear.

Fair enough in this particular context. I just have lingering bitterness toward the moderators for a variety of grievances.
