  • Any country larger than ~100k km^2 - simply because even at that side there are vast cultural and economic differences that require different governing styles, and have different attitudes to certain topics.

    With smaller countries come smaller, more localised decision making that benefits the most people of the region, and thanks to being small, it puts emphasis on these smaller states working together instead of being antagonists of their neighbours.

    Oh and it also solves the issue of a small percentage of the population electing a complete buffoon with unfettered access to nuclear launch codes.

    Hell, bring that 100k down to 20k and it’s still a manageable system that better represents 80+% of the population than a large government of a large country.






  • That’s all because the US is such a lawsuit shithole, you can get sued for literally anything. You’re the land of frivolous lawsuits.

    It’s possible to mis-operate machinery accidentally, then have an idiot lawyer chase your ambulance recommending you to sue the manufacturer because they didn’t label it accordingly, therefore they’d be liable. Of course in most cases liability is on the person, but safety measure regulation increases meant that companies were held liable for any small mistake, including lacking appropriate labelling on products even the most mentally challenged would recognise as dangerous…

    Some say it’s a nanny state issue, IMO it’s just a measure to force companies to make safe (as safe as possible, that is) equipment that has gone too far.








  • Pathetic, little dick energy murder of most likely innocent people. Nothing more than fear-mongering towards SA countries.

    If you identified actual narco traffickers enough to send a “kinetic strike”, why not follow them? Why not track the ship to wherever it lands, and arrest both the suppliers AND the buyers, confiscate the drugs, and have a photo op with your big success?

    I know why: because this admin isn’t interested in providing actual results, they want anything they can dress up as a quick win, and hey, if a handful of innocent brown people die in the process, it’s all worth it, amirite? Given a majority of the admin believes that if you’re even a degree off the “acceptable skin colour” range, you must be guilty of something, there’s no surprise this shit keeps happening.
