do you know what a nation is castille? It's not the cities or towns, or roads or rails etc A nation is group of people who define themselves in opposition to other's. British. American. Chinese. On and on. I want to get rid of that mentality. I want people to see humans instead of nationality.<hr size="1" /></blockquote><span class='postcolor'>


You're right - nations are formed by opposition. But isn't every type of faction formed by opposition?


Example: Lets imagine 1 big tribe. Tribal tradition dictates that you have to have sex with your sister to procreate. But what if some people disagree? Then they'll split apart, and form their own tribe. What if the new tribe has differences? Then more tribes will form.


Sure, maybe Communism dictates that everyone must be robots (and share the same opinions), but in real life factions do exist.

Even a family can split to create factions. So the husband divorces, maybe his dad is on his side, his mum on the wife's side.


Think about this: If I did your mum and paid her $5, wouldnt you be annoyed? But why? Simple: factions. You see yourself in a similiar faction as your parents. Family is a form of faction. Unless you hate your family (but then you simply form another faction).



If you really want to make an impact on the world, instead of South America (no matter how hot those Rio chicks are!), why not try Asia? China, Japan, Indonesia hold something of 1/3 of the world's population, and all 3 countries are springing ultranationalist groups faster than you can say Nationalism.


Ideological loyalty is the act of giving your soul to a vague concept, to be manipulated by people smarter than you.
