    Here’s the part that scares me. The only reason those trials happened at all were other countries stepped in. Who will defeat USA and hold them accountable in a worst case scenario?

        Define “loosely”. You really think there’s more than maybe 3 or 4 states that’d have a chance to sustain themselves on their own? And if a bunch of states would stick together against the others, you’ve got civil war reloaded. With drones, nukes, and blackhawks. Fun times.

          That’s the point. No other country could take us. It’d be a civil war.

          And yeah, horrible for everyone involved.

        I’m well aware but the people that have the ability to influence that couldn’t care less. It’s kind of like worrying about a nuclear war at this point, if it happens we’re all pretty much dead, and 99% of us aren’t part of the decision to launch them.

        I’ve done/do as much activism on climate change that I can in the last 20 years. It’s basically as pointless as petitioning those in power to dismantle their nuclear bombs. No one in power is interested.
