Anyone who has traveled internationally knows that the most racist place in the world is not in the United States

@ToKTeacher @justalexoki we did not originally do that. we called ourselves virginian or new yorkers or whatever. that’s what I am trying to telling you. the US is what the EU intended to be
English

@LauraFlowD @justalexoki No nation was “a nation from the outset”.
It’s a moot point in anycase. ~All Americans agree with the existence of the United Stated and will call themselves Americans first (and maybe Californians second).
Completely unlike Europe. People are Italian, French, British, first.

dumb question maybe but wouldn't it be better to actually try to change the European Union rather than just leaving it?

🚨GERMANY WANTS TO WITHDRAW FROM THE 🇪🇺 EUROPEAN UNION! 🇩🇪 Germany’s RIGHT-WING party (AfD), the Alternative for Germany, is rapidly gaining popularity across the nation and wants to LEAVE the European Union if it secures a victory in the upcoming election.

@ToKTeacher @justalexoki ?? not talking about the eu with that comment, the eu is definitely undemocratic. talking about the articles of confederation.
odd to me that the eu didn’t take lessons from the other successful supranational body
English

@LauraFlowD @justalexoki That one thinks a government like the EU was “too libertarian” and not sufficiently authoritarian is in line with Continental European philosophy. Plato -> Kant and more thinking citizens lucky to be granted any rights to anything it all by their betters - the ruling classes.

@ToKTeacher @justalexoki this is why the Senate exists, to protect the sovereignty of states. as does the tenth amendment, for all that we’ve mostly bulldozed that now
English

@ToKTeacher @justalexoki it was not a nation at the outset, and had nothing resembling institutions or law or tradition
maybe rebelling, considering the whiskey rebellion
English

@ToKTeacher @justalexoki the US is a supranational organization. EU was just badly done from the outset
we needed two tries, but our first was too libertarian, not too authoritarian.
English

@justalexoki No. Supra-National organisations tend towards being undemocratic for various technical reasons. Moreover it is almost always better to devolve powers closer to where the rulers and the ruled are in close proximity.
These arguments were had, and won, during Brexit.
English

@justalexoki better to try again, yes. but that’s too much work, and germany has always been all or nothing

@NoContextBrits having been to england, the solution is to go outside.

Wait...why are people in disbelief? He said whole hvac system. So unit plus the stuff in the house right?
I mean it depends on the house. We have 2 units i could see it easily costing that much.
JLP@AFMBlog
My neighbor is replacing their HVAC system today. Their house is slightly bigger than ours. Total cost for everything: $34,000!!!!! What in the hell? He said they have tripled in cost since COVID. What a crock of crap.

@breaking2morrow I think you’re misinterpreting what ‘on fire’ and ‘cooking’ are supposed to mean

Hybrid Athlete Guy@Hybridathlete
Yep, if you can bench 225 you are almost certainly on steroids.
