We're not with the debt-gobbling, multipartisan political/regulator class (balkanizers). We're against onerous regulations and fees. We're for human beings becoming more self-sufficient, less dependent and more free. We build, experiment, teach and assimilate instead of balkanizing.

"The US is now a hodgepodge of red and blue and purple in various shades and I don’t see that changing anytime soon."

I see it changing, as the debt regime collapses and becomes more powerless. Many of those who are trimmed from the shrinking debt regime by their bosses--red, blue and purple--eventually learn from us to become more technically inclined and less balkanized. Arrive like a hipster, any color of ethnic fascist or even one from the Balkans, and if receptive, become a technically capable American (or in the U.K., a technically inclined Briton, or anywhere else).

We can build or fix just about everything, while most of us are licensed, accredited or approved for nothing. We have no organization while being quite cohesive.

The same process and trend toward self-sufficiency has also been ongoing in many other countries and has turned to steel. For each in various nations, their nationalism will be more properly based on good deeds, not fascism. The effete may show off their fine, Cavalier stockings and styles while huffing and puffing but have no great effect.

Pride goes before the fall.
