Nah, that’s nonsense.
You think the safety of the planet is dependent on being in a confederation with New York and California? Seriously?
A self governed autonomous region would still have ties to the rest of “America”, which is rapidly becoming “Mexico Norte”. So if the need existed, alliance for common defense would still be on the table. Britain just left the EU, and the world didn’t end.
As for nooks, who the hell do you think invented them? Aboriginals? I had relatives at Los Alamos.
An autonomous region in the Northern Intermountain West would do just fine. My family settled those mountains as we settled the deserts of Arizona and Southern California over a century and a half ago.
If the Bolsheviks in DC ever wanted to dismantle their New Deal bureaucracy and give up on the idea of a federal currency backed by a federal tax, maybe we could talk again. But those same deranged people want to elect a new people, as Brecht said about the DDR government.
But like 1860s Northerners, they seem to believe they have a right to determine the character and policies of States they have nothing to do with. Whether they have a good reason for that (like ending chattel slavery) or bad reasons (like diluting the white population into a hated minority), it’s not a good thing either way. The States are regions that should determine their own future.
The Swiss Federation will soon be voting on whether the vax mandates are to be retained. Their union features a very weak central government whose shenanigans can be nullified by popular vote. Imagine that. And now imagine a region of America where that could happen. Hell, imagine all of “America” being like that.
We wouldn’t have to rap about secession.
“You think the safety of the planet is dependent on being in a confederation with New York and California? Seriously?”
Seriously. Two words: Nuclear bombs.
Or as Tom Lehrer wrote to his “mommy” when he went off to bag a commie: “I’ll look for you when the war is over, an hour and a half from now!”
Yes, New York and California are up to no good. And the thing to do is defeat them, not run away and try to get on without them. It won’t be happening. If Lincoln had a nuclear bomb, it wouldn’t make a rat’s a$$ of difference how good a general Robert E. Lee was. In this much, Foe Jiden is right.
So what’s to be done? Guerilla warfare of a non-symmetrical kind. He can’t nuke Washington DC or New York or LA, and if deplorables are engaged there in civil disobedience, general strikes of the sort that are materializing over the jab mandate, and riots are being quelled—not be emasculated police forces with their hands tied by local mayors—but by armed citizens defending their homes from rooftops and alleyways, and if coyotes smuggling invaders with cute faces and sh!tloads of Fentinol and sex slaves get shot dead before they can bring their charges into US territory (the above list of options have occurred to me personally, but feel free to add and modify), then Foe can take his F-14s and nuclear bombs and shove them right up his own a$$.
Or, you can go hide out in Idaho like an ostrich and hope that Foe isn’t in the pay of the Chicoms and isn’t inviting them in to finish you and yours off.
“No man is an island” indeed.
