I have to admit, I made it up. I don't even speak Nahuatl. Pretty sure psychopatl isn't a word in that language. I was spreading misinformation on the internet and you caught me, well done. Another victory for Truth

And ultimately, if the relationship becomes abusive, they won't just take it.

That's where the analogy fails for me. You can't leave a state unless you enter a new state, a new abusive relationship.

People have wanted to improve their living spaces and communities for longer than we've had recorded history.

I get when people are proud of their city or ethnicity or dialect group or religion or football club or what ever. There have always been imagined communities (communities where you don't know everyone but feel connected due to a shared identity) and that's what modern nation stated exploit. They creat a shared identity by lumping everything together, diminishing local differences to creat an artificial imagined community based on forced commonalities and destroy the plurality and diversity "home" could be.

Thanks for listening to my TEDtalk

but they do get paid to skirt slavery just barely enough.

It's slavery explicitly banned in US everywhere except in prison?

The 1180s BCE were the original 80s. No one cares about the 1880s CE except some young dudes maybe, I'm not judging
