re: land ownership and acquisition.
dear enlil,
obviously land can not be owned but play along. how does a nation acquire land (other than violence)? are there established and respectable or even "lawful" processes for nations to acquire more land (other than violence)?
dearly,
-mm

those are the only ways for a nation to acquire land legitimately? how is the treaty process supposed to work and are there any examples of treaty without violence? i realize these questions may be as much spiritual and/or philosophical as political but in the process of spiritual reawakening which is the return to the concept of oneness: the reverence and rememberance that all is One, survival demands abiding the rules like borders and fences and authority

yes enlil, lots of things are social constructs and we are all aware that it is just hocus pocus, thats like 4th grader stuff. if you dismiss the subject we will never get to the second page. we are not going to debate you on subjects that do not require opinions. the rules exist. try parking in your neighbors living room. try casually walking through a border checkpoint. power is the exemption; the rules exist, same rules that all nations/authorities are founded on. feel free to bring up a supportive example if you want

not me some dutch guy Per the Supremacy Clause of the U.S. Constitution, federal statutes and treaties are equally regarded as "supreme law of the land". The legally binding nature of treaties under the Constitution has been consistently recognized by the courts; as early as 1796, the U.S. Supreme Court, in Ware v. Hylton, applied the Supremacy Clause for the first time in ruling that a treaty superseded conflicting state law. Although the Ware decision did not address the Treaty Clause explicitly, it held that both states and private citizens were bound to comply with the treaty obligations of the federal government, which was in turn bound to the "Law of Nations" with respect to honoring treaties. Vattel's work profoundly influenced the development of international law. In 2015 the United States Department of Defense published its Law of War Manual. Vattel is cited after Hugo Grotius and before Francis Lieber and Hersch Lauterpacht as a subsidiary means and an authority in determining the rules of law of war.

Just ask the democratic resistance in Myanmar how important being able to 3d print firearms is to their survival
existence itself is resistance

i do not usually engage with terrorist sympathizers, but this is important and i want you to be heard. my statement holds true and is a supplemental correction and not an absolute contraindication to enlils statement (we were misinformed because so many have lied and the truth was hidden from us). what you are saying is antithetical to the sciences. not cool. try again if you want, let me know if you get stuck or need a supportive example
