It seems the idea of the nation-state is in decline. The way they broke up the Ottoman Empire put the idea to the ultimate test and showed it has limitations. A century later, it seems itās not even good at what we thought it was good for.
Spain is a political construct. Itās only marginally less artificial than, say, Belgium. Or Canada. Or the UK.
And what exactly is the EU anyway? Does anyone know anymore?
Can someone enlighten me on why the EU has been so tough on regional self-determination in Europe? If the split up states ends up in the EU anyway, how would that be different for the EU it self? I would think that each regions joining the EU would be better in the long run rather than a bunch of nation states riffed with internal conflicts.
Itās difficult, because in the Uk Iād consider myself a Liberal, in the US Iād lean towards the Republican party, in some European countries Iād support parties that are considered FAR-RIGHT even if they have semi-socialist programs (Swedish Democrats are a good example of that).
I like Mr Ko, is there something like Koism? I could be a Koist.
I think that calling me āKo-pistā would also make your life easier, Iām worried that typing āindependent covfefist sympathistā every time may lead you to being the triggered one!
