You believe that a nation should prioritize its own interests and maintain self-governance to achieve greater autonomy and prosperity.
Sovereigntism is a political ideology that emphasizes the principle of sovereignty, which is the full right and power of a governing body to govern itself without any interference from outside sources or bodies. This ideology is often associated with nationalism and can be seen as a reaction against perceived threats to national sovereignty, such as globalization, supranational organizations, and immigration.
Sovereigntists argue for the primacy of national laws over international agreements and institutions. They often oppose the transfer of powers from national governments to intern…

How do you think your day-to-day life would change if your country became more isolated from the rest of the world?
@9JLTC451yr1Y
Globally it would calm down across the board because many of the issues we deal with today were unresolved issues set in motion by our own government. Here things would improve because the funds we use to resolve all of these foreign conflicts that we started could be better spent domestically.
@9JLW5DH1yr1Y
Do not start endless wars or get involved in them but if an ally is being attacked give them full military support
@9JLWCPS1yr1Y
It would be worse because America doesn’t produce sufficient resources that are used by the people to isolate from other countries.
@9JLTG6HRepublican1yr1Y
It all depends on if our country is self-sufficient or not. I believe we should have friends and relations with other countries to spread peace and freedom.
@ISIDEWITH1yr1Y
How might the experience of immigrants in your community shape your views on a country's sovereignty and borders?
@9LFR2LR1yr1Y
In shapes it because people dont see their pov until they get to experience it or hear about it
@9LFQLQZ1yr1Y
people who are sovereigntism are either going to accept them or deny them
@9LFRNCW1yr1Y
This helps me recognize that humans need to be treated equally in our community compared to my country's sovereignty. Ultimately, It is important to equally treat our community within humanity.
@9LFQR9P1yr1Y
I say that borders should be able to allow immigrants to get through if they apply for US citizenship and pay for a cheaper price.
@ISIDEWITH1yr1Y
Would you prefer your school's rules be set by students or by an external board, and why might a country feel the same?
Set by a board. Students, specifically teenagers and young children, don't understand what's the best for them in a school setting.
@9LBQGT6Republican1yr1Y
Especially through high school, even teens can realize what skills they lack and what they need to be successful in the future.
@9L9WRDHProgressive1yr1Y
I believe that students should be strongly considers in the decision making when it comes to their educational environment.
@9L92XTS1yr1Y
An external board because there would be more of a struggle for consensus among student-created rules. Adults also have the added benefit of life experience, however this should not discredit the struggles and needs of modern generations. Appointing a male and female senior high student in each graduating class would allow youth concerns to be heard and considered while ultimately putting the responsibility of both successful and unsuccessful decisions on the external adult board.
@ISIDEWITH1yr1Y
Do you feel more connected to your local community or the global society, and why does that matter to you?
@9JLT45P1yr1Y
I feel more connected to my local community because I know people. This matters to me because connections are important.
@9JLSPR7Republican1yr1Y
My local community, yes global society matters. However I think the local community plays a bigger part in your everyday life than global society.
@9JLSQ4RIndependent1yr1Y
Being connected locally gives a sense of community, but global ties are great for broader perspectives.
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
Would you be willing to sacrifice certain technological advancements if it meant your country could remain more independent?
@9HFZW3FRepublican2yrs2Y
Not all technological advancements are necessarily helpful and some can actually be dangerous. Some technologies should be sacrificed to remain independent.
@9HFZR682yrs2Y
Yes. Technology has been great but there are also things such as weapons, that its been harmful more than helpful.
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
When has your life been affected by a rule or law that didn't seem to consider your individual needs?
@9HTW75B2yrs2Y
When they started forcing me to pretend a man was a woman or vice versa. Not all lgbtq, I like gay people because that doesn’t interfere with my life. But when they say I have to start using pronouns and living a lie, count me out. That’s not fair to me. I don’t require anyone to do anything special for me. No one deserves that so called “right”. All fine and dandy until a 60 year old man “identifies” as a 16 year old boy to get with an actual 16 year old girl. You can’t magically change your age, just like you can’t magically change your gender.
-As stated by the man, the myth, THE Ben Shapiro.
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
How might the culture and identity of your own community be preserved or changed if decisions were made by external organizations?
@9HDKR6WRepublican2yrs2Y
as a christian I believe we should let God the only Father take care of that for he has a plan
@9HDKLXXProgressive2yrs2Y
My community, the Black community has disproportionately been underrepresented and unheard by the government, so I'm very resistant to anybody but us speaking for us.
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
How do you think globalization affects a nation's sovereignty and should nations resist this influence?
@9H6TJ3K2yrs2Y
If this is referring to trade and border policy, no. If this is discussing changing the way a government is run to be influenced by other countries, yes, as this would no longer reflect the needs of the citizens.
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
@ISIDEWITH1yr1Y
How might your choice of local versus global brands reflect a sense of sovereignty in everyday life?
My choice of local versus global brands reflects of a sense of sovereignty in everyday life by picking things that would rather benefit me rather than the community.
@9KS9BJJ1yr1Y
Choosing local brands rather than large corporations can reflect sovereignty, as it can be an example of nationalism.
@ISIDEWITH1yr1Y
What if the sports you play or the music you enjoy had to conform to international standards; would that be acceptable to you?
@ISIDEWITH1yr1Y
If a foreign entity decided what sports could be played in your community, how would you respond?
@9LCLJH31yr1Y
I would not be thrilled. I play an abnormal sport, and I love it.
@9LCLFD2Independent1yr1Y
I would respopnd well because this is my community why would they have a choice in what is allowed.
@ISIDEWITH1yr1Y
What local festival or celebration in your town could be impacted by outside influence, and how would that affect you?
@ISIDEWITH1yr1Y
How does your favorite family tradition shape your understanding of why a country might value its independence?
@9L9DMQ3 1yr1Y
Independence is valuable because it allows us to express ourselves
@9L9DJM61yr1Y
My favorite family tradition, celebrating our cultural heritage through annual gatherings and rituals, instills a deep appreciation for preserving identity and autonomy. Similarly, a country's commitment to sovereignty often stems from the desire to safeguard its unique history, culture, and governance from external influence, ensuring the preservation of its national identity.
@ISIDEWITH1yr1Y
Could there be benefits to your community if your country decided to opt-out of certain international agreements?
@9JLBB8P 1yr1Y
Yes, we are a constitutional Republic and we should have more sovereignty as states. We shouldn't be taxed to fund international agreements that other benefit other countries more and they don't pay as much as we do.
@9JLB2K21yr1Y
I would say that the community should benefit the interantional agreemtns wisely.
@ISIDEWITH1yr1Y
How would you feel if a foreign language was made mandatory in your school because of an international agreement?
@ISIDEWITH1yr1Y
How would you feel about your country rejecting a popular global trend in order to preserve its traditional values?
@9JM3VNM1yr1Y
We new and a better way to have our global be a better one.
@9JM3KHW1yr1Y
I think it's important for a country to preserve its traditional values, but it's also essential to find a balance between tradition and progress. It's natural for cultures to evolve over time, and embracing some global trends can bring positive change. What matters most is finding a way to honor our heritage while also adapting to the changing world.
@ISIDEWITH1yr1Y
Why might it be important for your city to have more control over its resources, and how might this reflect a country's needs?
@9L93HNBIndependent1yr1Y
I think the city having more control over its resources might be important because they can focus on the problems that need to be solved in their city.
@9L934CW1yr1Y
even if there was more resources they would not use them correctly
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
Imagine if internet content in your country was controlled by an international body, what would be the positives and negatives?
@98QBPS9 2yrs2Y
I would want the terms of that international body to be clear and publically voted on by a direct vote. No electoral college. No ranked voting. No representative voting.
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
If your family had to follow rules set by your neighbors, how would you feel, and is this comparable to a nation’s sovereignty being influenced by others?
@9HRLGH82yrs2Y
No. I hate HOA's, and why would we give tje government any more power than it has??
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
If you had to choose, would you live in a country that prioritizes complete independence or one that is more interconnected globally, and why?
@9HCXQSP2yrs2Y
Living in a country that prioritizes complete independence would be beneficial for a small population however with a country the size of the united states, it’s important we stay globally connected
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
How would you balance a nation's right to self-governance with the need for international collaboration on issues like climate change?
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
Do you think sovereigntism promotes unity within a country or does it encourage division?
@9H4QLXF2yrs2Y
it promotes unity to form what we know as the constitution and the foundation of how we came to be.
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
How do you feel about the idea that decisions made in other countries can have a direct impact on your life?
@9HSX9922yrs2Y
US Law should outweigh any other nation’s laws for US Citizens
@ISIDEWITH1yr1Y
How might your perception of your nation change if it took a stance on an issue that contradicted international consensus?
@9KHLLPB1yr1Y
I would side with my nation. I believe in loyalty so if my nation stands alone against everyone then I will stand with them.
@ISIDEWITH1yr1Y
When your personal values have clashed with broader societal norms, how have you navigated that, and does it parallel a nation's quest for sovereignty?
@9KNMPWM1yr1Y
I just make sure that I toe the line and stay in the middle because that's where i believe its correct
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
When you think of your favorite local food disappearing due to international trade agreements, what are your thoughts on preserving local industries?
@9HR9L9H2yrs2Y
Local industries are essential, and the lifeblood of the country.
@ISIDEWITH1yr1Y
How does it make you feel when local businesses have to compete with international brands, and does this impact your view on national economies?
@9LH85RZ1yr1Y
I think everyone should get a fair chance but, that's life, and it may be harder for small business to make it up but it's still possible regardless of those brands.
@ISIDEWITH1yr1Y
How does the idea of compromise play into your understanding of national sovereignty, especially when facing global issues?
@Aodhan.L 1yr1Y
Respect sovereignty of a nation, yes-- however when a nation gets a gigantic share of its budged from our aid, like Israel, and in turn uses the aid to better its people's lives while ours suffer under unaffordable college debt, unaffordable medical cost, unaffordable housing etc and when the other side of that aid, the arms they get from us, are used in a campaign of extermination, a genocide, we ought to be able to check them on that--
@ISIDEWITH1yr1Y
What local tradition or custom do you hold dear, and how might its preservation be affected by decisions made on a global scale?
@9KPDKSS1yr1Y
I believe the government should be run mostly by the people and be able to make laws
@ISIDEWITH1yr1Y
How would you balance the need for individuality within your school or workplace with the benefits of following wider policies?
@9JLRVHS1yr1Y
I don't cause I don't really think or talk about them
@ISIDEWITH1yr1Y
In what situations do you think your country should rely on its own capabilities rather than international assistance?
@9JCBJGF1yr1Y
Energy, we have cleaner ways to harvest fossil fuels than problematic countries that we end up funding like Russia or Venezuela.
@ISIDEWITH1yr1Y
Which is more important to you, your ability to make personal decisions freely or abiding by rules for the collective good, and how does this compare to national interests?
@9K8RTV61yr1Y
I think the majority of Americans agree with my own preference for freedom to make decisions.
@ISIDEWITH1yr1Y
What emotional response do you have to the idea of your nation's culture evolving due to international pressures?
@9KPGT73 1yr1Y
I think this nation's culture has needed to evolve for a while now.
@ISIDEWITH1yr1Y
Do you think one-size-fits-all policies work for schools, and how does this translate to nations and international policies?
@9L6RW5N1yr1Y
no cause it takes away from other peoples choices.
