    @Larry I must really suck at writing.

    The printing press helped foster the nation state as a political construct.

    Before that city-states were the dominant political entities.

    As common languages and ideas solidified - common identity began to coalesce across cities into a nation.

    Re-read what I said with that in mind.

    I’m saying the nation-state as a concept is under threat from social media.

    No one is trying to start a modern nation state or city state.

    You spend too much time navel gazing over nonsense and not enough time getting to the meat of a problem. I don't give a damn about printing presses and city states. None of that has a damned thing to do with this.

        You're already sitting in the greatest nation the world has ever seen.

        How does that square with the fact that the people in that "greatest nation" vote, often with a majority, for people who are according to you the greatest idiots on earth?

        Will it still be the greatest nation if Biden wins?

        No, if Biden wins the country is toast, because the idiot has no principles. He just wants to be president before his mind is totally shot. He will hand things over to whatever leftist group he's told to.

        As for the idiots voting, I already said that their numbers are growing, and will continue to grow, eventually outnumbering people with goid sense.

        It seems that 3 people, one from England, on from Germany, and one from India think they have this all figured out. All 3 of you need to spend your time fixing the mess your country is in instead of telling me how mine should be run.

          I didn't say that. But it doesn't surprise me that that was all you got from it.

                    Actually, you're the one who thinks he has it all figured out. I'm just making stupid jokes. I know, I know, we all come to TNCR to save the world, but sometimes I need an evening off.

                              To be serious for a second, as far as saving my country goes, I'm just trying to make an honest living.

                              Not to virtue signal, but it strikes me that if more people on both sides just focused on doing that, the country wouldn't need saving.

                                        You spend too much time navel gazing over nonsense

                                        That’s sorta my thing

                                        I'm more of a take charge, cut through the navel gazers and get shit done kind of guy.

                                        @Larry one doesn't preclude the other.

                                          I think it does. Navel gazers get in the way.
