It just seemed like an inapt comparison given the the ppl living in these places seem to feel very differently about their respective “occupations”. Maybe you disagree.

Im not an expert on local sentiments but do majorities in any of those places actually want independence from the US? Im certain that it’s not the case in Hawaii or PR? Why would you include those?

Yep, I think Joseph campbell’s monomyth theory was a big part of jung’s popularity on the left in the 20th century

the idea that a handful of conservative legal scholars have an understanding that should supersede a settlement affirmed my generations of american is astoundingly arrogant, and the idea that trump — or any president — can unilaterally overturn that settlement is just despotism

the court is going to be reformed one way or another, conservatives on the court are making a very strong argument that they should not be consulted about those reforms
