>Nation-States are bad because they undermine global stability.

Because having a centralized state is great for stability, right? Whoops, our central banking system steered the entire continent in the wrong direction, now the entire world economy is in a recession! So stable! I don't want to promote a living meme, but you seriously need to read some Taleb.

>What has been found is that the drive to form Nation-States results in the breakup and failure of established states with large regional minority populations as well as Nationalism being a driving force of major international crises.

All that you've proven is that multi-national states are unstable and that nation-states restore stability to a region by allowing self-determination to steer policy.
Who knew that unique groups of people with their own sets of values would want to rule themselves?

Go ahead, make another Rwanda, Bosnia, or Syria and see what happens. Just because colonizers drew some lines in the sand doesn't make the products "established states".

>I formulate my own opinion, but your "ivory tower" resentment tells me that you feel inferior to people who have education. Go get some Pell Grants poorfag

I'm pursuing a degree at Harvard you filthy plebeian. Effectively getting paid to do it because the financial aid is amazing. Go pretend to be an intellectual somewhere else where you can get away with parroting the same lukewarm corporate bullshit.

>unemployment is below 5%,

"muh U3 unemployment rate"

>get a fucking job

I'm going to an Ivy League university to study science, and I have a part-time job (among other pursuits). I'm not affected by neoliberal economics, but I still have enough empathy to realize just how much the average person is struggling to have even a tiny amount of disposable income. Look up some graphs detailing the growth of family incomes vs. the growth of living costs over the past few decades. It's fucking scary how much precedence Wall Street has over Main Street in American economic policy, and I'm glad that the pendulum is starting to swing back to the other side.

Besides, Clinton was the welfare candidate, while Trump was the jobs candidate. If people wanted a handout, they were fucking retarded to vote for the Republican Party.

And nobody said that abiding by political correctness and Marxist ideology is sufficient to be successful in academia, only that it is required in most departments lest you be attacked on all sides and snubbed by a prospective department.

Lmfao what? If you're being taught that garbage at a top-tier university, then it directly prepares you for that career. You think that there's higher standards at an Ivy League? I've got news for you pal. Wake up.
