Probably the perfect union of the United States in at least an historical concept.

Thanks, Al Hamilton.

Don't look at me bitch. My family was trying to get out west and away from you crazy fucks.

P.S. I am not a Texan. Though I have the utmost respect for what they did. Probably close cousins.

That there was no such concept until after the Enlightenment and it's predilection towards state centralization. That state centralization obliterates kin bonds, community bonds, racial and ethnic bonds, and so on. It does things like create a standing army to maintain its power and prerogatives or seizing control of health care and charitable programs; and in so doing, it eliminates social duties like mustering to a militia, serving the poor in your community, etc.

The very concept of individualism belies a rejection of your social duties to your kin, your community, your ethnic group, and even your nation. This doesn't happen until those duties are removed or become optional.

Yet in creating a highly individualistic, centralized nation state, we also create weakness and sow the seeds for the kinds of dysfunction we experience in our own time.

Nicely put.

What or which "highly individualistic, centralized nation state" or states are you referring to?

Name some, or one, and I'd like to discuss with you.

All of western civilization now. Start with the United States, probably the showmodel of state centralization combined with high individualization.

Have you gotten on board yet and chosen your totally unique gender, identity disorder?

Yes, it's obviously much better that the "quality of life" be parceled out by the state.

This master planning is really hard! It's prolly best to let the really really smart folk work it out for the rest of us.

Nurses are in the best position to make the call. They see the suffering minute by minute. It's harder to make a good decision when the only contact with a loved one is a weekend visit.

Just man up and suffocate your parents already, boomer. Ffs you're making us all pay the price and threatening a resurgence of the democrats we just kicked out over this nonsense.

Obviously, the nurses are where the rubber hits the road in this budgetary process.

Nuff said, I think.
