i don't have a problem with nation-states i know about the history of state formation, to be clear, i am thinking of statism as
'significant governmental control over economic, social, and individual affairs with the state as a central authority in managing various aspects of society, often at the expense of individual autonomy'
i object to the significant part and i am pro-individual freedoms. i object to things like a social credit score and being punished for being a 'bad citizen' the same way i object to the UK or eu trying to ban diesel cars.
I am absolutely pro individual freedoms too, but it is up to us to exercise and retain and build on them.
Instead we have stood by and allowed corporate bankers to come to own and operate our governments to far great a degree...that is due to our apathy and stupidity...we need to fight back and regain decent government- but sadly its seems unlikely at this late stage of the decline.
Most of what I hear on SNs is black and white 'the state is bad' nonsense.
The state can only come to over reach and dominate us if we allow it...and we have.
Responsibility comes back to us...as we are all the government.
