As a socialist, you naturally resent the city's success and view it all as illegitimate.

I am not a socialist. I hate those bastards and everything they stand for. It is not my job to "share the wealth."

But I have learned that Nazi style "crony capitalism" is also a threat to liberty. When influence becomes so large that it can set government policy, it has become a threat to the rest of the nation.

We rejected you. Us unwashed, uncivilized, non-DC/NY-living nobodies rejected you, and now you can’t even get your phone calls returned from that 24-year old guy in a MAGA hat down at the Old Executive Office Building. You’re a nobody, a punchline, writing articles nobody reads for magazines no one remembers.

So now it's about Nazis? A sure sign you're losing it.

For better or for worse, we have big businesses in America, but those aren't all concentrated in one city or one part of the country.

Nor were they really in 1860. One city was bigger than the others, but it wasn't government edicts that made it large or profitable.

Government action -- splitting up the country -- wouldn't suddenly achieve your goal of "social justice."

When influence becomes so large that it can set government policy, it has become a threat to the rest of the nation.

Slavery wasn't an interest so large that it could set government policy?

Land hunger wasn't an interest so large that it set government policy in Jackson's day?

It's not just "special interests" in faraway New York that can be dangerous.

P.S. Your ideas really aren't that interesting. People just respond to you because you're always posting some nonsense or other.
