''yeah thats kind of the problem right. I view history as a lesson, not something to take a side on in my personal life today. It happened it's over, move on. My point of view today is to not repeat these mistakes. So while I may have an opinion on a previous point in history, I don't believe in continuing mistakes.''  
  
.....and that's what I noticed about 'The Civil War, and the Confederacy'.   Many Americans, especially in the South are still livid about it, and I've read some of their books, and it really opened my eyes; here's one example.  
  
https://www.amazon.com/South-Was-Right-21st-Century/dp/1947660985  
  
Have you ever read the book?   Have you even heard of it?   I found out more or less accidentally, and it was an eye opener, and it led me to prove Ayn Rand was a fraud, as a historian/economist, but a good novelist.  
  
I intend to use what I learned in this book for my stories.  
  
I believe, the idea of restoring Confederacy (with improvement from the old one) has a merit after the implosion.  It is compatible with my idea of imperial federation, setting people/individual, cities, state from Westphalian tyranny.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Westphalian_system  
  
The problem with Westphalian system is that it is very conniving form of monopoly; it gives the illusion of people having the 'right' to be free from 'foreign' domination, but actually it prevents people from having the right to be free from 'domestic' tyranny, by transferring the allegiance, instead of having to go through wars/revolutions.   
  
 It puts people under bondage of whatever the form of government a certain geographic area takes place, no matter how oppressive, how irrational, just because they happen to be born in a particular geographic area.  
  
Why shouldn't small cities/rural areas have the right to secede from a state run by corrupt government, to another state willing to make better offers?  
  
......then the problem of 51% robbing 49% 100% of time, even sacredcow acknowledges.

''And the forever wars, they arent really wars, they are even ruining the definition of the word WAR now. What even is a war? These forever wars arent wars, they are tyrannical oppression to control power and influence.''  
  
  
...and that is the curse of Westphalian sovereignty.  Why I also oppose this 'professional volunteer' military aka wholesale mercenary system, instead of going for broadly based citizen militias, backed by a small contingent of mercenaries, with mandate that any politician at the national level supporting a war must resign and serve at the most dangerous front, in the most dangerous capacity that he is minimally qualified for, indefinitely till the war he supports is over.   
  
Actually, Tulsi Gabbard personally told me it was a good idea, but will never be implemented by D.C. elite (back when I was at Tulsi's local forum before she got DNI job from Trump, and as you know, she kinda 'sold out' since then, but I don't judge her; I'd rather she stay at where she is, to be a witness to this Iran war madness, and to tell the truth someday in the future).
