this is why we need bigger countries to just remain neutral and say fuck off. Not just some small specks.

@CapitalB I would say that the focus on countries really overlooks the more important factor of individuals, making sure that people are able to get honest information if they care about the situation.

The focus on countries instead of people promotes nationalism that all too often buys into the propaganda. Either put out by or supporting those countries.

My example is Swiss neutrality as defined and enforced in 1815. We need more big institutions to just remain neutral. Be it the IOC, BIS, ISO or...Walmart.
Neutrality from top down enables individuals to seek alternative ways. It is like a unplanted plot were those living there can wait and see and learn by doing.

Neutrality does neither mean doing nothing nor ignoring the world. It ranges from silent time to reflect to outright help the commoners from the start.

@CapitalB but that pattern of thinking results in empowering organizations over individuals, institutions over the democratic process.

I don't think it works.
