Yes because if it isn't perfect may as well not even try.

I'm sure glad that United States never decided to split away from England and was unable to influence the entirety of Western democracy to form.

Without USA, you never get the French revolution as Thomas Paine never publish common sense without French revolution. You don't get free France without free France. You don't have European democracy.

By contrast to literally every other country. Yes very much in that time period. Believe it or not, most monarchies were also completely fine with slavery and plantations. And their citizens had even less political power.

Based on your instance, I'm going to have to assume you're Canadian and thus not informed on the minuta of state level politics and how they vary state to state. Some of the 2a people love going balls deep on authoritarian cock not all of us.

It's more like the building is on fire. Six people live there. One of them immediately evacuated and called the fire department. Within the first 10 minutes three of them are outside. The two still willfully inside are saying that the three outside have smoke derangement syndrome. The last that wants to leave is trapped inside with the two cultists who blocked the hallway out of spite.

So what you're saying is I need to go full diogenes and get a barrel?

 

Just wondering as an American watching the EU pool resources and mostly work for the same common goals over my lifetime.

To clarify, I'm not saying that this would be a part of the United States of America, but a separate world power.
