TranscriptA threads post saying "There has never been another nation ever that has existed much beyond 250 years. Not a single one. America's 250th year is 2025. The next 4 years are gonna be pretty interesting considering everything that's already been said." It has a reply saying "My local pub is older than your country".

nation is a construct based on race and culture. nation is artificial, think it like a club. if you have a citizenship means you are included to nation but it doesnt mean to you are a part of race or culture. for more reading like there is a science branch called sociology!

Social science. Nothing written there is accepted as facts.

There's plenty of areas in this world where multi cultural people live with eachother and view eachother of the same nationality.

USA is probably the best example of this, because it lacks an original culture.

But I gotta admit, it's difficult to convince lots of diaspora that they are Belgian even though they are fucking born here lol
