- legostormtroopr 4mo agoAnd replaced with what?
- BSDobelix 4mo agoHave you read the utopian book "Starship Troopers" from Heinlein ;)
- elictronic 4mo agoIt had a real Mary Poppins feel when interacting with the skinnies.
- glerk 4mo agoThat can be figured out after the dismantling process :) My personal utopian take: smaller communities/city-states that would naturally coalesce into more fluid confederations. A lot of these communities could also be distributed and non-local.

- altmanaltman 4mo agogood opinion and one that most agree with what most don't agree with: what happens next?
- yanhangyhy 4mo agocivil war?
- BSDobelix 4mo ago>all current nation states should be dismantled. Fun fact. Just people who live in a shitty country want that, maybe instead of change everyone else, change you own country?
- dostick 4mo agoI am from so called 1st world, how do you define “shitty country”, are there better ones?
- BSDobelix 4mo agoYes and it's really easy. Are the vast majority happy? = Good one If not = Shitty Example? Norway[1] = good, Sudan[2] = really..really shitty [1] https://www.bi.no/en/research/business-review/articles/2025/03/norwegians-report-high-levels-of-happiness-these-are-the-key-influencing-factors/ https://www.bi.no/en/research/business-review/articles/2025/... [2] https://interactive.aljazeera.com/aje/2025/sudan-voices/ https://interactive.aljazeera.com/aje/2025/sudan-voices/ To be honest, those two are so far apart it's not even comparable.
- 9dev 4mo agoGerman here, I want the same. We are one species inhabiting a single habitable world in a giant dead void. Nationalism is an idiotic game of no value that causes destruction of resources we need, senseless killing in wars over nothing, and ultimately merely a distraction from everything that’s really important.
- Auracle 4mo agoIt’s a nice goal, but no thank you. In my opinion, more of the world needs to be all but quarantined.
- SuddsMcDuff 4mo agoI expect there are many people who agree with this sentiment, unfortunately they might not agree on precisely which areas ought to be quarantined. And those who happen to live in the areas you want to quarantine might disagree most vigorously.
- Auracle 4mo agoIt sounds like we just need something like..national borders, eh ;)
- halapro 4mo agoI wish so too, but clearly this is not in any way practical. The EU is the closest thing we got to "fewer borders"
- glerk 4mo agoWe can always dream and then find ways to make it practical :) It's encouraging I didn't get downvoted as much as I expected I would.
- yanhangyhy 4mo agoif cannot merge into 1, at least we can make it a few. 200+ is a waste of resources on so many levels.. so many countries really don't need to exist and have shitty a government...
