The founding fathers made a system reliant on most of the voters being literate landowners.

It kinda worked in such a situation, because it was (among those voters) relatively egalitarian.

It was also supported by functional free press.

Now things have changed to the point where mass media are not very good, censorship is a real problem, even if it’s not by the government, and, ahem, political mechanisms have gotten a bit rusty even compared to 50s.

Isn’t Canada closer?..

Or French Guiana. It’s EU, and at the same time you get tropical beaches and wonderful nature.

Or one of the Scandinavian countries.

I mean, if you want Germany, then fine.

I’m a German citizen as well. So Germany is what makes the most sense.

You can live in any EU country being a German citizen, but OK.

Yes, but my wife will not have citizenship of the EU until she stays in Germany for three years. Also, the salaries of other EU countries are not great.

French Guiana.

Moving closer to the equator is likely to be a bad time in the near future, what with climate change and all.

Parts with jungle are better than parts without though.

OK, you are right. I just don’t like something about Germany.

Being part Jewish and meeting arrogant Germans thinking that the whole Holocaust thing is something they are authoritative in because of being German.

Being part Armenian and meeting arrogant Germans thinking that the whole Armenian genocide thing is not as important because all people in the ME are apes anyway.

And somehow thinking their country is normal now, being friendly with Turkey and helping Israel to resolve their complex of inferiority in the worst way possible.

The humid jungles near the equator will have more wet bulb days than any other place, most likely.

Yeah exactly. This system was made for a completely different scenario, and is very easily exploitable by disinformation campaigns and fascisms with its populist campaigns in general.
