I mean... haven't you wondered why exactly we can't afford government healthcare?

Seriously... feel free to be number 1... get in all sorts of cyber wars and bullshit with China.

And we can have unniversal healthcare and spend less then we do now on government.

I'm not kidding when I say I would rather europe be number 1.

The problem is that the trend is in the other direction. Unless political trends shift, in 30 years Belgium, Britain, and Spain will cease to exist. Though Europe economically centralizes, more peoples are demanding local sovereignty as time goes on, and we'll see independent Flanders, Scotland, Wales, Basque, and Catalonia soon enough. A more peaceful nationalism seems to be the trend of the world, and the large states' days are numbered

Now i disagree with this, as i'm also of the "World State" mind. The larger states we can build, the more we can even out economic and social inequalities, broaden our ability to enforce the law and freely interact with one another, but the reality is that the world is heading in the opposite direction

EDIT:
hell, i'll add that the PlayStation 4 is unlikely to release in any nation called Belgium. That one will collapse that quicklyl

That is just a sad prospect. Those crazy nationalists don't relize what a huge mistake they're making. Hopefully the current states will treat these groups as terrorists and somehow surpress them.

Is this some sort of reverse reverse psychology?

I mean.... put it this way.

Name one thing the US has recently used it's "#1 status" to do, to tip things vastly in their favor that doesn't benefit europe almost as much to where it is orth it to spend tons of money to get slightly more benefit.

Treat people who peacefully pass mass democratic votes to split the country as terrorists...?

Nope.  Being number one in the world is in reality a real pain in the ass... and most people in the US would perfer to NOT be the number 1 country in the wolrd... but only hang on because the big competitor is the undemocratic Chinese.

We've long passed the age of stuff like the British Empire where being number 1 particularly benefited you in anyway.  If anything it just makes you a target now a days and you have to always be ahead and donate the most to other countries, you have to keep your tarfiffs and shit down... (i mean look at the levels of protectionism the EU gets away with vs the US.  We can't even consider a VAT of a couple percent without other nations getting pissy.)

You know who has it right?  Canada.  They just get to sit back, not be involved in practically anything, yet reap the benefits of western dominance.  Or like, Lictehnstein.  They don't even have an army I don't think.

I wouldn't mind living in Canada.  Except for all the snow.

Aren't there speparatist terrorist groups in those regions, who are usign propaganda to divide the people and destroy the countries?
