It's still an Advertising System more than it is an Operating System.

WWI and WWII were both won through alliances. WWI was the fall of empires (except for Russia). WWII was an attempt to build new empires. It is through alliance and individuality that the world is preserved.

Empires have a way of crushing individuality and stomping on individuals. Organized anti-imperialism? That is a damned good fucking thing to have.

It has worked for our enemies. It has worked for religion. It has worked for new concepts too. Some things take off, become successful, and take on a life of their own. Sometimes it is for the worst, and sometimes for the best. Movements have members.

It comes down to growth. I can't organize or direct #NAFO. This is down to all of us. If it endures it could grow like any sorority/fraternity or any other organization. A kind of shield against those being uncivilized or barbaric. Not cops, but an unseen force.

Well #NAFO assembles for operations for those who volunteer, and then those squads disassemble. Efforts by teams pulled from the standing army pool (which is indeed, decentralized).
It's not complicated.

In other words, no change at all, just a rebranding and marketing themselves in a different way by changing the store front. Times change, I guess, but people seldom do to any large degree.

The lesser of two evils, and yet, none of it is about civil rights are civic rights, but about rights to power by a singular person and a dynasty. The obsequiousness must be some kind of drug they constantly need.

Theists LOVE monarchies because there is synergy between church and state. As an atheist, this is abhorrent to me. It requires people to replace their brains with crayons and scribble on the insides of their skulls with some obscure verse to justify their selfishness and expect deference for it.

My biggest problem with religion and with "conservatives" is this perpetual desire to think in backwards ways, and impossibly keep attempting to drag the world to a past that never existed in a way they think it did. Victorian Era loving slobs, or worse, Medieval slobs.

And if they are in the USA, then need to get rid of these notions of Monarchy and assimilate, even wishing to curse Iran with monarchy. This is 2025 not the fucking "Golden Age" of Islam. They refuse to modernize and want to go backwards.

Ahhh. Yeah, Iran isn't required to have a monarchy either, nor be a Theocracy. It used to be the most advanced and Western of the Middle East. Now it has fallen prey to theocrats.
Fucking fed up with Medieval thinking. Monarchists don't turn to far-right. They always are. That's the point.

Monoarchists? We did away with that in 1776. The Republicans have always been that way, however. I lick no boots. I don't believe singular wisdom is possible. Diapers need changed often. Politicians do for the same reasons, and dynasties suck ass and have always sucked.
