    I was talking to my bro a few weeks ago, after an edible and a joint mind you, and I had the idea that the best thing the rest of the world could do is to stop acknowledging the US as a whole and ONLY recognize individual states as independent nations.

    This would cause so much chaos

      That would mean the EU or various other unions around the world would have to expect the same treatment in return

      Also most countries like the UN rules

        I mean there are many reasons that would prevent it from happening. But thinking about the ramifications if the international community just had enough of the US’s bullshit that they decided to do it that way would be very interesting.

        It’s not without merit either, as the “states rights” people in the US might even support it, which would be absolutely wild.

        Just a thought experiment, fueled by an altered state of mind, produced happy thoughts
