Secession. Now, it’s time.
How are you going to have secession when literally the street you live on is divided?
I don’t want secession. Secession means ceding land and resources. Our enemies are inherently imperialistic and will never leave us alone. Their worldview demands that from them. The only solution is conquest.
I will not argue against your point
However, secession is a political act and requires political control. Direct action by citizens who have lost their freedom may be needed to provoke the cowardly politicians to act.
