Let me make this pellucidly clear for the hacks

61. Our own country

is a colonial conquest. Ours was a "cotton republic" perhaps? A "tobacco republic"? Most, of course, were already "slave republics".

And Nations are mostly defined by what goods and services they provide. That is their "purpose", regardless of what their inhabitants might think about it.

When the royal families of Europe started losing power to the rising merchant classes, they cut a deal to quell the unruly masses. Let's give them "representation", which could be controlled. Oversight by a "House of Lords". A "cooling saucer" of a Senate. Any sort of "upper chamber" would suffice. God forbid any actual Democracy be allowed to take root!

Then there was the Industrial Revolution! Yee-haw!!!

Today, this unholy alliance between our ruling classes using technological innovation and militarized populace control, has reached its zenith (or nadir for most).

Now the whole planet is "colonized", and nature itself is stressed to the max.

Divide and conquer has had its day. It has served its evolutionary purpose. Time for a new Global Direct Democracy, where everyone, everywhere, gets to vote on everything. The rising Noosphere has made us all interconnected and smart. They don't like that, and are desperately trying to impose their control over it. It will not work.

The nation/state way of governing human behavior is long overdue for its "unplanned obsolescence".
