'Murica! There really is no rival. But what I love about it most is that it was the one nation in history to escape, even temporarily, from the shackles of oppression. I hate Communism, but it's not wrong about one thing. There are always oppressors.

Mostly, people choose them out of ignorance, with no idea what they are doing. A law for "safe labor conditions" is also a law to prevent competition, and inevitably will be. It will also inevitably create a self-growing bureaucracy, evolved to protect its own job, rather than actually serve.

ONLY the US ever figured out a way around it. The Constitution strictly limits the power of the national government, and what power remains is enormously decentralized. That way, people can be stupid, or clever, and move to what works. It's a dynamic, self-repairing system.

Despite the natural efforts of every human on the planet to be opportunistic, the US ALONE rose to such lofty heights, based upon this mechanism, because it leverages it. No empire or nation in the world even comes close to the earth-shaking power of such freedom, when it is united.

I can't think of any nation or empire more beautiful than what the US represents, but we are alone in our splendor and power. No other nation ever bothered copying what actually works, and so we have no competition. That's what created the sad state of the US today. Leftists have taken over almost the entire world, and half of this nation. But they cannot make that final push.

We're the one nation that actually resisted overbearing government control, even if it's only half of us at present, and our strength is such that it still gives the world pause. I wish all peoples, from all nation, could have that kind of power. Imagine where we would be if we weren't bogged down in petty political struggles to limit human capacity and control it. Everyone already lives glimpses of it every day, through miracles of technology and industry they take for granted.

But, to quote Andrew Ryan from "BioShock": "The Parasites say NO!"

I asked chatgpt to simplify this
America stands out as a unique nation that has managed to break free from oppression, even if just for a time. While I strongly dislike Communism, it does highlight that there will always be oppressors.

Often, people choose these oppressors unknowingly. Laws meant to ensure "safe working conditions" can also limit competition and create unnecessary bureaucracy that prioritizes its own existence over serving the people.

The U.S. has successfully avoided these pitfalls by having a Constitution that limits national government power and decentralizes authority. This allows individuals to choose what works best for them, creating a flexible and self-correcting system.

Despite the challenges, America has achieved remarkable freedom and power, unlike any other nation. This unique structure has made it exceptionally strong, but it also means that many countries haven’t adopted what truly works.

Today, while leftist ideas dominate much of the world and parts of the U.S., America remains a beacon of resistance against heavy government control. I hope that people everywhere can experience this kind of freedom. Imagine the potential if we weren’t caught up in trivial political conflicts that limit our capabilities. Many people already enjoy glimpses of this through technology and industry.

As Andrew Ryan from "BioShock" said, “The Parasites say NO!”

British, a small country using relatively little force ended up controlling a large percentage of the world.

The Inca Empire. The Spanish kind of helpfully chewed up most of the history they had, but what we do have left is absolutely fascinating to think about, both in the context of the Americas, and the greater context of the world.

If read this right sometimes figure the Greatest is,

The Arctic

not a continent per say
belong's to OCEAN
countless life that churn through their micro universe
preventative of becoming prime real estate to mankind

Tired of continents being accused or appointed for this reincarnation of a post.

One where fire then wheel then sandwich was invented in that order.
Make fire to treat self to warmth to fashion wheel to grind wheat to make bread to have SANDVVICH!
One that didn't allow pets in the homes.
Those who create & continue with tails of drag on storylines that continue to fuel DLC and most adventuring.

There are places that have a freezing space in underground hay storage with mountains in the region of snow with cliffs along seas and deserts as a boundary 4+ times bigger than Germany which is two times bigger then California walnuts and dates and concrete suburbs as fences then metal ♥♥♥♥♥ with herbs and spices and roundabouts of merchants with teas and honey public pools and roads that get watered instead of asphalted... then again people(s) oif other places and countries all want to make it into their own so hard to live there maybe even more difficult beneath the waves of The Arc tick(ride the lightning)
