If pressure builds up over time eventually there is a final straw, the difficult part is predicting where this will happen. Maybe the best way to find where, is to look at what state media refuses to cover, would need to be somewhere with existing tension against the expanding State and geographically logical with multiple narratives which can be shifted towards a United cause, immigration differences, wealth gaps, suffering caused by clearly definable source, isolated but still controlled, some historical precedents and identity. Whatever region it should effectively behave like in island. Also the typical escalation responses from the state must be very Impractical or obvious in the situation. For example troops or navy being deployed on technically "home soil" in a Western country. (If the state were truly afraid of this region we would see in Times of trouble conveniently timed governmental trips to the to deflect the News and control the situation... "to strengthen ties") All states eventually bring war home to maintain and grow there Power. Where do you think the visible tide will turn against this century of statist maximalism? #asknostr #ideas

Is Pride evil? One of the most critical tasks your life will be to build/earn your identity. The result of individual actions and accomplishment. Is it only healthy to take pride in your identity if you have earned it, simply subscribing to a mass produced identity package can ever be considered an achievement. In regards to the definition of good and Evil, it could be defined as anything that increases the individuals agency should be considered good. So when an individual subscribes to a cookie cutter identity subscription all of the in group biases take hold, the identity package itself must remove critical thinking in order to perpetuate and then consumes in all cases the agency of the individual participants, destroying value (freedoms) for both in group and out group actors as civilization / value creation flourishes only through freedom of exchange... cooperation. Identity subscriptions are also called government, nationalities, religions, many ...isms, sexual preference, ancestry, race or any collectivized group where the emergent behavior of the subscription package consumes the agency of the participants and the pride movement is nothing more then a modern new agency consuming identity subscription, as dangerous as all previous. Yes pride movement is evil same as other organized religions. #ideas #pride #religion
