The states of the US (or Brazil or Mexico or China, etc.) have all developed with a common body of law language and customs, so I don’t think it would make sense for them to devolve (a federal system devolves a lot, compared to centralized systems).

Nation states still make sense (one day when we become a monoculture perhaps it’ll bd different). We have our peculiar takes on economics, government, culture, norms, etc. I’m not ready for a one world government.

What happened to the cry for “self-determination of nations” that was the rallying cry of people on the left? It’s a complete 180 on this.
