I am pro US balkanization. It would help make the US less of a global pest if the states are too busy fighting each other
only problem is, it’s difficult to draw more unhinged borders for this balkanization than the existing state borders.
so we cant really make funny images like they like to make about a balkanized china or russia
only problem is, it’s difficult to draw more unhinged borders
Don’t ask what happens in the denazifying zone
Aww you chopped the adirondacks in half.
Only problem is Hawaii under China instead of finally independent
it may be difficult, but texan irredentism is always an option
This was the founders’ real original vision, and probably a better idea. A loose collection of individual nations with open borders among themselves and a shared currency. Fed was supposed to administer commerce and settle disputes between the states exclusively, but of course it’s been expanding ever since it was instituted.
It would, however, be lovely to live at least some small part of my life not in a system purposely tilted toward slaveowners. Like, what if each and every person was allowed exactly one vote in how to do things?
Quiet, Pooty.
Post in facebook group Texas Patriots for Secession: “Will we still get our social security cheques if we secede?”
spoiler
Honestly can see the libs still sending them money because “otherwise what if we secede and then they would do the same thing to us”
Paying social security benefits to goatee sunglasses car picture guys in open revolt because it’s the moral high ground.
Yeah, it’s lib
time
Texas. Texas. Think for a moment. If you secede, you’re a foreign country with oil. And what does the United States do to them? Think.
if a Chinese province did this it would be headline news for a week like the weather balloon
Cool with me, that state is going to be a 140 degree hellhole in a few years and I don’t want to pay for it
Flashbacks to 2009
The jokes write themselves
Secdee nuts
Doesn’t this happen like every year though?
Anyway I hope it goes as well for them as brexit has for the brits
It’s honestly more often than once a year.
I know it’s pointless to point out republican hypocrisy but it’s literally virtue signaling
Odds on a lone Texas trying to fight Mexico and eating shit?
Yeah I made a guess a while ago that an independent Texas would hand over the government to the Sinaloa cartel within a year
Estado Libre de Chapo
“But history repeats itself, first as a farce, then as something that will totally work this time around, trust me guys”
Texas delende est. We should invade their country, kill their leaders, and force them to convert to Marxism.
Texas, like most southern states, has a large minority of people who are not chuds. Some are libs. Some are politically disengaged. But they’re all stuck under the thumb of Christian Fascism with no real way out.
Texas leaving the US would really open up competition for the title of Worst Shithole in the US.
also, it would be hilarious to see the Tom Segura “you ask me we’re building the wall on the wrong side of Texas” come to life.
I thought that title went to Florida
Florida and Texas have been battling it out since the beginning, but Texas has always managed to start and end strong by operating with literally the most unreliable and expensive energy distribution infrastructure/grid in these United States while it’s extraction infrastructure is an unsafe Byzantine network of pipelines vying to create another Biggest Spill in History at any moment.
it’s a dice role of meteorological forecasting, but I am betting the most extreme mass casualty event to kick off the official climate apocalypse (North America edition) is gonna be Texas, because they are not going to be able to keep people warm or cool for a critical period of time during some phenomenon.
If we’re not counting that blizzard a year or two ago that killed a bunch of people in Texas, I honestly think that the mass casualty event is a real roll of the dice. Sure, you’ve got a power grid held together by chicken fencing and EU banned chewing gum in Texas, but the higher hurricane chance and much older average age in Florida keeps it very competitive, as far as I can tell
This would it easier for Mexico to liberate their rightful territory that is currently under temporary illegal and unprovoked occupation by the yanqui orcs.
president AMLO our people yearn for freedom
lol no one wants this. It’s explicitly a white nationalist project for a state where white people are a minority. It’s also financially unsound. Wealthy Texan capitalists are the least likely to care about this because they already have everything they want.
I should bring up that Texas is considerably poor compared to other states of comparable population. It doesn’t seem that way on paper but that’s because all the money gets sucked up by literally like 3 families. Construction here takes forever, the education system collapsed years ago, and the only profits are being made in flipping real estate and oil.
Yeah let’s secede and lose all that federal highway money.
YES PLEASE. Do it. do it do it do it do it. I’m begging you do it. Please do it, balkanize the US.
Gut reaction aside I hope the many texans stuck with their repressive government receive the aid they need.
AMLO pls the people yearn for freedom and soft shells
Texas independence is one of the most absurd claims of any state if you investigate it. Louisiana has its weird French common law and parish system, California has a big EU-style consumer regulation regime, Texas uses the multistate bar exam and functions identically to fuckass Wyoming except you get to choose from a list of 3 power oligarchs who will all shut your service down the second it gets below freezing.
