Since i'm talking about Balkanization today, this is you cut your losses. The white parts are a foreign civilization that can only corrupt up. The light green is a boundary zone where people have to decide where they belong. The dark green is where we remain connected to our roots and can rebuild.
It's better to give up land and people who do not want to be part of you than to allow their discontent to continually infect what is healthy. Nationalism puts people first - it's time we actually think that way instead of seeing it as just another way to shape the system that is the state.
A nation is the collection of people who reside in shared identity with one another. @realcaseyrollins
