Imagine there's no country. Politics and governments

sergey, you never criticize your own country from there alice
you have a country like in wonderland!

Yes, eren-youngwolf, I didn't do it. I didn't criticized Turkeysh government, Chinese government and many others. Do you think I should? Just for the sake of been fair? I don't know such cases. Can you tell me why should I criticize them? I'll do it if you tell me what Russian government did wrong?

Do you think that Chinese, Turkish, Russian government are perfect? No! They are not! But! Do we have to talk? Do we have to have some kind of diplomacy? Yes! We have to! Where is this organization? How we can talk with each other, if we don't have the common ground? Where do we start?

Yes, michael, I agree. Usually people are speaking about the things which they don't know much. Their mind is set by some other guys. They don't know what kind of guys. They are talking only about things that they have been told. It's the only wold they know. Why blame them?

When he says nevver, it's because you never do it even when the topic is calls for looking at your country more critically. You do it very well withh "Europe" or the "West" even when it's not the topic, yet, when it comes to Russia, nobody hears you anymore except to say "muh, no, criticizing a country is not useful; Russia never does anything wrong".

Lianshen, it's natural, I am trying to talk about a subject. Some people here are trying to speak about Stalin, about Solschenizin, Afghanistan and other ancient topics even here. But do you realize that the topic is - Imagine there's no country?

What makes a country a country? You first have to define that. Nowadays if you want to be a country you have to have territory, sovereinity, borders and it has to be exepted by other countries. There are a lot of countries in this world that never ever have been accepted by other countries. But there was a time that there was no nationalism and no country, you lived on the kings land and did not feel any relationship between you and that land. Maybe the question is what happens to a country that is not ruled as a country? What will the people do? Well there will be chaos, because people need a leader, otherwise we get crazy.

In my opinion, without countries it would be a good world like a beautiful dream. Helping each others. In the end countries actually don’t exist, we invented them but the Earth is one ❤️

I would mention the John Lennon’s song - Imagine

Imagine there's no heaven
It's easy if you try
No hell below us
Above us, only sky
Imagine all the people
Livin' for today
Ah
Imagine there's no countries
It isn't hard to do
Nothing to kill or die for
And no religion, too
Imagine all the people
Livin' life in peace
You
You may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will be as one
Imagine no possessions
I wonder if you can
No need for greed or hunger
A brotherhood of man
Imagine all the people
Sharing all the world
You
You may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will live as one
🙏🏻❤️

And again, John Lennon - Give peace a chance! It's his another song. When the war in Iraq started, Yoko Ono tried to say something about the peace, like some people were against the war in Vietnam. Many people said it's a different case. Was it different? I don't think so. Everybody knows now that all the talks about chemical weapons in Iraq were lies. What I am trying to say, politicians always lie. Almost all the time. So, it's not worth it to help them to do the dirty job.

Oh 😅 you mentioned Imagine before me 😅 I didn’t read before to share 😄

Thank you for posting the lyrics, Sara
For me it´s about unconditional love, peace
As long as there is judgement, someone who wants to be right ... 👎👎

We should believe michael: "Each individual should experience him/herself AND the universal basis (transcendence)"
.........................and Lennon: "and the world will be as ONE.

I do believe that they are not dreaming any more

To contrast with soem people: I'm very much against abolishing countries. Having countries add spices, flavour to the human world just like ethnicities does. I don't want to go to the other side of the world and see the exact same thing I see at home, with the same people. I want to experience new architecture, new food, new language, new faces, new habits, new thoughts.
