Actually, yeah, for the most part, that's exactly how nation states are formed. Poland and Lithuania are two separate nations now for a reason. Scotland is free to fuck off from England for a reason. I don't see Serbia as part of Austria and I can name about six little nations of people who want fuck all to do with Russia.
Well, see, now we have gotten back to the fact that you seem to define almost all nation states as ethno-states.
And, the history of Serbia and Austria isn't rosy. In fact, the whole of the Balkans has been less than rosy, which is why the sort of Balkanization being suggested is usually treated with, at least, a little suspicion. The current situation between Russian and ex-USSR states isn't rosy. The history of England and Ireland or Scotland, or the US isn't rosy.
Peaceful partition is the exception.
Nah, man.
Europeans are only now starting to acquire the same sense of racial identity that emerged in the United States over the past two centuries or so. Until very recently, an ethno-state in Europe was literally a nation state, and quite a lot of their wars were really about nations of people trying to break away from multi-ethnic empires. The multi-ethnic empire looks good on paper, but rarely works out for long in practice. The Austro-Hungarian Empire was the classic example of what theoretically should have been the superpower of the twentieth century but failed because the individual ethnicities couldn't get along. It just disintegrated and dragged all of Europe into WW1 with it's disintegration. WW2 was arguably an extension or resumption of hostilities that began with WW1, but the entire shtick of the axis powers was a return to ethnic nation states instead of the multi-ethnic empires (like Great Britain).
The multi-ethnic empire faction was saved by the Soviets and the fact that America joined. But America, though a nation of immigrants from multiple ethnicities, was framed as a "white" nation. We basically invented the idea of whiteness here. It's how we assimilated people into one nationality. What we call American culture is the synthesis of all the ethnic cultures and values of Caucasian peoples.
The big lie here is that we can somehow extend that process to nonwhites. It doesn't make any sense. You can't integrate nonwhites into a common white culture. This idea backfired recently, which is why now we have the Multi-Cult -- the idea that everybody can just come here and retain their own ethnicities and cultures within the borders of the United States, and that's perfectly okay. That's where several of you are right now. The problem is that most of the nonwhites coming here are coming here as colonizers. Especially the Latinos. They are very motivated in their mission to replace and colonize us. Their ethno-nationalist organization, La Raza, controls benches in federal courts, state legislature seats, and even at least one congressman (Gutierrez is an avowed ethno-nationalist). You guys just don't want to recognize it because it's difficult to process that you quickly reaching the point the Indians once found themselves in.
Theoretically, you could argue that we could just create some new pan-human ethnic conscious, but I think evidence to the contrary is overwhelming. The people coming here are for the most part ethno-nationalists themselves who are intent on colonizing us.
They are conforming to American law, and working within the strictures of the American constitution if they are on the courts. That isn't really colonizing, as I understand the word. That is integrating into the American system of rule-of-law.
I have faith in our institutions. If La Raza starts trying to pass unconstitutional laws, Gorsuch'll strike 'em right the fuck down, and make no mistake.
Just one of the many benefits of constitutional government and the rule of law applying to everybody,
regardless of race.
Amirite?
