Tinyism is a political philosophy that believes current empires and nations should be fractured, shattered, and dissolved into thousands of independent micro-states and city-states. This would vastly improve democracy and enhance economies — recent statistics indicate small nations are usually the happiest, wealthiest, and most peaceful. — Hank Pellisier

You would have to be really out of touch with reality to believe that tinyism would vastly improve democracy and enhance economies worse still o think that small nations are usually the happiest, wealthiest, and most peaceful.

I was born and lived in a small nation. Uganda. It is none of those things above. It would actually be happy, wealthy, and peaceful if it were not for leaders who prioritize their lives and those of their families.

In Uganda, the Motto on the court of arms reads as “For God and My Country” but the delusions of individualism and self-centredness have caused people to even jokingly say that the true motto is “For God and My Stomach”.

If you believe that tinyism is our future, you probably leave in a huge country where you have some feeling of powerlessness and feel like resorting to splitting up your country into several countries…
