5991. Nice walnuts not getting imminently broken is paradise / Countries are like walnuts: they only taste good when you crack them open -> came up in multiple MDem scraps. the concept is that within Existentialism, national autonomy is never truly taken seriously for any country. people assert platitudes about countries needing to be "free", but what really happens is the sheer population of living people constituting the country is not respected until it's cracked open by force and all the people are forcefully assimilated into one huge Napoleonism or global socially-linked friend circle of capitalists and Careerists. in asserting the right to use force to liberate the "isolated" people of a country from "the thumb" of their country, the State of the outside country extends over like a storm cloud and carries out the democratic decisions of somebody else completely unelected.
      imagine a world where people took child abuse as seriously as they take "authoritarian countries". 1000 people, probably with weapons, would flood the abusive household and throw out the parent. they wouldn't care if that was illegal by anybody's standards, they'd just do it. but also, if that sounds like a genuinely good idea to you, just keep in mind that you'd also get 1000 reactionaries tossing people's parents out of the state for letting them be transgender, or letting them go to a school that teaches inclusive history. at maximum democulture, all the children turn into walnuts that you have to crack open and carry over to the reactionary-school bowl. those hypothetical kids are not free. they're captured by the Social-Philosophical System that decided to define what Freedom is and leap its personal State over them. don't think too hard about what that analogy might be saying about literal Social-Philosophical Systems in daily life. the only thing I'll say there is, I'm really tired of hegemony politics and everything being run by Filaments. none of it makes any sense, and up to now nobody's said anything about it that's true. like, everything anybody tells you about Liberalism is some kind of small lie. what's up with that?

      what people think they're saying: build a better world through education and voting, because education is a benefit to everybody politician and not, and makes everyone make better informed decisions, allowing the country to build itself up through a firm foundation of Freedom and Free Will.
      what people are actually saying: education builds up a larger pool of skilled experts, and this is inherently good for everybody because it results in better decisions and more choice, therefore whenever other countries are so poorly developed in their systems of education they only have one candidate, or make decisions that appear to slow the rate at which they will open more universities and accumulate more experts, including refusing foreign capital and gigantic abusive debts directly used to abuse their populations, they must not believe in freedom or democracy and we must crush all their governing structures threatening their civilians until they allow us to conquer their ethnic group and thus free all their individuals, specifically the talented ones who are not useless pieces of shit (pronounced redacted), you know, we're not nazis, because we have no idea what those are in this country so we couldn't be. freedom and democracy! don't you love voting?
      The United States was more democratic than the Soviet Union + Stalin became mandatory because there wasn't a large enough pool of mainstream Marxist-Leninist experts = Democracy is the abundance of skilled experts
