Go see the history of all recent attempts in creating new countries, including guys willing to build islands from scratch... all of them ended badly, even bombings happened.
- _andromeda_ 10y agoThank you. That's exactly my point. If no envy exists, why stop someone from creating soverign territories. It is no wonder Keynes said, 'In the end we're all dead'. He might as well have added, '...so long as it is all of us'
- vacri 10y agoHow about using the definition of 'envy' that is the one English-speaking people used? 'Envy' does not mean 'desire to maintain power'. Significantly redefining a word is one of the worst aspects of libertarianism (eg, the redefinition of "violence"), and it's done intentionally in order to confuse the issue and put other people offside.
- vacri 10y agoHow is this 'envy'? The UK hasn't stomped on Sealand, and isn't envious of it. How about giving some examples of these supposedly envied places, rather than just leave it to the imagination?
