Unless you are taking over the entire world (through peace somehow), countries are what we have. Honestly doesn't really matter the name. Call it what you like but the concept is going to exist.
How are you going to keep other groups from just conquering you?
If I'm not understanding, can you explain what level I'm supposed to be thinking at? Is this some sort of anarchy thing where everyone exists as their own tiny little sovereign homestead?
What country has ever been won through peace?
My personal guess is that while the stated goal of 'do whatever as long as it doesn't affect others' is good, our human biology will fail us in achieving this goal.
I already feel that humans aren't built for the world we made, that we can't handle societies as big and diffused as our current global culture. It breaks our capacity for cooperation and empathy by deliberately abusing the limits we have on caring for too many people or people far away.
Likewise, I think the end state of social progressiveness is going to butt up hard against core biological limits that will constantly try to push some of us towards bigotry due to outdated instincts that worked great when we were small tribes of monkeys, but are extremely destructive and unhelpful to modern human society.
I absolutely love when games do that. Just a random, faceless dude for the second player that isn't acknowledged at all by the plot. My favorite coop games growing up were all like that.
As far as I'm aware millennials are only just now gaining the power to affect kids education on a broad scale. And even then it's still mostly in the hands of Gen x and boomers on school boards and various state and federal offices.
I remember being flabbergasted the first time I had to explain this to some of the boomer teachers and admin staff with my part time college job. The secretary had no idea how to find documents outside of word recent list.
The idea that young people are even worse than that secretary is scary.
AI's get the fun part of everything right now. AI gets writing, humans get editing. AIs get drawing, humans get fixing hands and details, etc etc
I started skipping a couple of marvel movies after endgame and now the trains kind of left me behind. Interconnected movies are awesome until you fall behind. Then you've got a bunch of movies you have to watch first. Or at least that's what my brain feels like I have to do (even if it's not true).
Scrolling through my old tab groups is a great way to see a history of my past hyper fixations. Hundreds of tabs deeply researching something only to get closed and never revisited.
Honestly probably AI generated
I played the first one as kind of a fluke. It's absolutely not my typical interest. I usually hate games with punishing resource limits, but some quirk of fate lined things up where I was in the right kind of mood for that one. Absolutely loved it.
Haven't (and never plan to) played the sequel. Just don't think I'll ever be able to top how magical the first one was for me and I was pretty happy with the original ending.
Our neighbors are literally the fashies right now. They're dismantling our government as we speak. We're literally being conquered.
You said violence isn't 'secure' but then said you need violence to protect yourself from tankies and fascists, unless they're already in your country I guess?
I'm just not following. And I'm not sure how your last statements relate to the idea of 'nothing won by violence is secure'? How is the embarrassment that is the Democrats related to fighting back against tyranny with violence if necessary? If anything Democrats are the argument that peaceful methods are failing, not an argument that violence will gain us nothing.
