    Like seriously? Who puts Liberty in their username? Nations exist to oppress and enslave us. Liberty… What a fucking joke.

      You can be an anarchist if that’s what you believe is best. But belittling people who don’t think like you is stupid and childish.

      Did I give some indication that I disagree with that idea? Lol

      I find that “recognition” is just a tool that powerful nations use to oppress less powerful polities. That’s why I am arguing against it.

      There’s no contradiction between this argument and anarchism. As I said elsewhere in the thread, I don’t believe states should exist. But giving the US, China, and other imperial powers the right to decide which ones are acknowledged or dismissed is part of the problem.
