  • While I agree with the general sentiment and am firmly in the camp of wishing for an amicable breakup, I just dont see the mass movement needed for a country to formally split. The prevailing public opinion seems to be that the country is in danger and needs saving, with each side having vastly different ideas of what that means.

    Personally, I foresee the US transitioning more akin to Rome. A Republic and then gradually an Empire. I think we are in that transition now. The republic is already dead in all but ritual and I think the goal of Trump/Elon/Republicans is to begin the phase out of those rituals so that the new Empire can stand.

  • That's not have averages work. 96% of people are not as smart as the average score. Most people are on one side of the average or the other. The problem is that those that are lower or even at average intelligence are the ones that cause most of the world's problems.

  • You assume catastrophe isn't the goal for those idiots. Remember, the only reason Hitler and the Nazi party rose to power was due to economic collapse from sanctions after WW1. They used that as an opportunity to breed nationalizm and fear.

  • I tried twice to recover one of my favorite NSFW subs that was deleted due to being "unmoderated" but was denied both times. The sub was fairly active and I was on it daily and didn't notice any real spam problems. There is a channel for it here on Lemmy NSFW but it's not really active yet since it was a niche interest.

  • Yes, the one aspect of the civil war that I have never agreed with was that a stare can not choose to leave the Union. If a terratory can vote to join the Union, I see no reason why they couldn't vote to leave it. On that note, I would also support the idea that the other states should have the right to vote out a state they no longer want in the Union.
