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

    Post in facebook group Texas Patriots for Secession: "Will we still get our social security cheques if we secede?"

    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.

    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.

    This would it easier for Mexico to liberate their rightful territory that is currently under temporary illegal and unprovoked occupation by the yanqui orcs.

    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.

    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.

    Last time states tried this the Americans all started killing each other. Considering that I support this and am excited to watch the Second American Civil War from afar.

    Before everyone jumps on the "good riddance" bandwagon, please keep in mind that the main US government facility for building and maintaining nuclear weapons is in Texas.

    The government would never let Texas leave the union, and if by some miracle they actually did I'm sure those weapons and facilities would be forcibly repatriated.

    Texas can't even keep their own lights on, I think it would be hilarious to watch them try to go it alone. But it won't ever happen.

    They do this during pretty much every election cycle. Still funny to imagine them trying it
