“There simply isn’t the political will to murder millions of fellow Americans over a purely political question of secession.”
I’m starting to disagree with that. Why are we wanting to secede? Because we’re tired of being the benefactors of the slothful and degenerate. If we threaten to secede will they stop being slothful and degenerate because their benefactors refuse to pay? Will they starve? They won’t.
No, they'll stop being slothful and degenerate when they no longer have access to the fruits of our labor. Only real secession will accomplish that.
