This was during the republican period of Rome and the secessions eventually made for the plebeian voice to be heard in Roman politics, over the course of a couple of hundred years:
It would be nice if everyone can cooperate against the elites. Sadly, this seems impossible. Then again, there’s infinite possibilities so who knows. Maybe one day once humanity is desperate enough.
If I could get up and move, I would vote with my feet tomorrow. The complication of fixing this house, getting rid of stuff, and then sprucing it up for sale, and buying a new house… Fuck, its all so inefficient.
Politically, I worry about how dead areas work in the US. Often, hyper-rural places have a lot more power than they deserve. Where I am finally had its district expanded to include more cities rather than packed to isolate the rural voters. And frankly I’d love to not have to worry about that and just… Be moving.
