Define america America the "country"? The administrative entity? The nation? The territory? The territory is here to stay, I don't think it's going to fall in the ocean anytime soon The administrative entity/the federation of individual states? With its federal structure, its political regime? Well, empires and governments come and go. Is it here to stay? Secession is an idea floating around. I also heard that the break up of america into separate regions is an ambition for some people, so idk, depends. Depends of the will of the people, to live together, to form a nation. The nation? Hm... What's a nation? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nation >>A nation is a community of people formed on the basis of a combination of shared features such as language, history, ethnicity, culture and/or society. A nation is thus the collective identity of a group of people understood as defined by those features. Some nations are equated with ethnic groups (see ethnic nationalism) and some are equated with affiliation to a social and political constitution (see civic nationalism and multiculturalism). Hm. "a combination of shared features such as language, history, ethnicity, culture and/or society." is going to have a hard time coexisting with "multiculturalism" if you ask me... It's kind of antinomic... Feels like that definition has been bent to fit a disaster in the making... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nation#Etymology_and_terminology >>The English word nation came from the Latin natio, supine of verb nascar « to birth » (supine : natum), through French. In Latin, natio **represents the children of the same birth and also a human group of same origin.**[14] By Cicero, natio is used for "people".[15] Old French word nacion – meaning "birth" (naissance), "place of origin" –, which in turn originates from the Latin word natio (nātĭō) literally meaning "birth".[16] Black's Law Dictionary defines a nation as follows: **nation, n. (14c) 1. A large group of people having a common origin, language, and tradition and usu. constituting a political entity.** • When a nation is coincident with a state, the term nation-state is often used.... ... 2. A community of people inhabiting a defined territory and organized under an independent government; a sovereign political state....[2] The word "nation" is **sometimes used** as synonym for: State (polity) or sovereign state: a government that controls a specific territory, which may or may not be associated with any particular ethnic group Country: a geographic territory, which may or may not have an affiliation with a government or ethnic group Thus the phrase "nations of the world" **could** be referring to the top-level governments (as in the name for the United Nations), various large geographical territories, or various large ethnic groups of the planet. **Depending** on the meaning of "nation" used, the term "nation state" **could** be used to distinguish larger states from small city states, or **could** be used to distinguish multinational states from those with a single ethnic group. **Wishful thinking**... So? So I would say that when people lose the will to live, they tend to become suicidal and sometimes they want to bring down the whole world with them, their entire ethnic group for instance, or more, and that's what shitlibs do. But I digress... Do you know what the word "religion" means? Where it comes from? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Religion#Etymology_and_history_of_concept >>The term religion comes from both Old French and Anglo-Norman (1200s AD) and means respect for sense of right, moral obligation, sanctity, what is sacred, reverence for the gods.[15][16] It is ultimately derived from the Latin word religiō. According to Roman philosopher Cicero, religiō comes from **relegere**: re (meaning "again") + lego (meaning "read"), where lego is in the sense of "go over", "choose", or "consider carefully". Contrarily, some modern scholars such as Tom Harpur and Joseph Campbell have argued that religiō is derived from **religare**: re (meaning "again") + **ligare** ("bind" or "connect"), which was made prominent by St. Augustine following the interpretation given by Lactantius in Divinae institutiones, IV, 28.[17][18] The medieval usage alternates with order in designating **bonded communities** like those of monastic orders: "we hear of the 'religion' of the Golden Fleece, of a knight 'of the religion of Avys'".[19] Interesting isn't it? Jews have survived for centuries without having a territory of their own, without their own country, and they preserved their community, their identity, a bond between each others, and that's not for random reasons So? So the question isn't so much about whether "america" is over or not, the question is more about what makes "america" a thing in the first place and where is it now, where is it going? And that's not just true for america
