Just make them like Puerto Rico where they are neither a state nor a sovereign nation.

I figured ice would be too rough on tidal systems.

I think we definitely are in agreement here. My one quibble is I don’t know that religion is the antithesis of government so much as a more primitive form of government. The earliest religions were a form of law enforcement in world without police or judicial systems.

If it’s just you and someone else alone in the wilderness, why shouldn’t you just kill them and take their stuff? There are no consequences. Religion adds the consequences. “God will punish you. You’ll burn in Hell/Hades/Tartarus.” Why shouldn’t I steal? “It’s a sin.” Why shouldn’t I sleep with my neighbors wife? “It’s bad karma.” It’s all just laws enforced by a mythological father figure instead of a real guy with a gun.

Let’s remember K.H. literally said she wanted to start a new war with Iran

Citation fucking needed.

she wanted the “most lethal army in the world”.

That has been the explicit US policy of the US regardless of leadership for 80 years.

If you think Harris and Trump are equally crazy, YOU are the one who needs psychological treatment. Trump literally wanted to nuke a hurricane, pulled us out of our nuclear deal with Iran, encouraged the US to develop and test “low yield” nuclear arms, and encouraged South Korea to build their own nukes. Harris along with Biden has simply continued the standard nuclear deterrent policy the US has followed for decades in spite of the first direct nuclear threat by another country since the Cuban Missile Crisis.

The one core reason is that 73 million Americans are vile ignorant pieces of human garbage.

Solar is more efficient in the cold even if the sunlight is less intense. Wind power is probably a good option too provided they can solve the icing problem.

Half of the reason government exists is to stop terrible people from being terrible. Religion is supposed to reign in the terrible people too, American Evangelicalism just creates terrible people.

I kinda think the 73 million who voted R might be the bigger problem here.

None of those excuses justifies voting for a clearly insane man. You don’t look at a normal person and a guy screaming about eating cats and say “that cat eating guy is the one out of the two who should have the nuclear codes”. It’s fucking moronic.

Any sane adult should have beat Trump. He won because 72 million Americans want fascism.
