@Bjorn - MD True. As is, it's France + Germany and some rootless cosmopolitans throwing their weight around.
Yep.
Hopefully we can get Italeave (sounds better than Italexit) as the biggest domino.
...but no flag, no anthem, no constitution, no fully unified military structure. Just limited duplication of existing structures to facilitate enforcement and defense of the external border.
Yeah, Salvini and Conte seem to be working in that direction.

Yall see Gavin running around with a samurai sword?
Not to balkan-post, but I think a post-USA confederation of states (Cali, Cascadia, Midwest, Mormons, Texas, South, New England) could be a good solution to prevent civil war. Keep a common currency and mutual defense pact, but immigration and internal laws can be independent. That would unironically solve Left vs Right tension.
Can states not individually vote on immigration now?
@Wood-Ape - OK/MN Yeah, but unfortunately, as it is, there's no shortage of good ideas. It's a question of divergent interests and will. They won't allow us to conduct a Czechoslovakia-esque velvet divorce, because everyone else has a parasitic relationship with regard to us, and one group in particular seems to possess a sense of outright malevolence.
But the powers that be will never let that happen of course
@Asatru Artist - MD If only...
@Wood-Ape - OK/MN Exactly.
@Nemets That's a feature, not a bug!

@Nemets Jazzhands and Ethnarch actually did a really awesome deep-dive a while back on the machinations behind the initiation of the constitutional convention, as well as the drafting and ratification: http://fashthenation.com/2018/07/ftn-focus-we-the-people-an-american-coup-detat/
lmao that video of gavin just pulling a sword out in the middle of like 10 cops, wonder what he screamed
@Bjorn - MD LoL, I almost mentioned that. Yeah, Charles Beard's book really dampens sentimentality about the Constitution.
I have yet to read it, but it's on my list.
Ethnarch is the biggest brain. He should be in I.E. He's very straight-laced and proper for TRS contributors.
Eric Striker is my fave TRS affiliate at this point
@Bjorn - MD Even better. thirteen months until we hear Tucker refer to "the Tyrant Lincoln!"
How long until Tucker supports secession from the Sodom below
@Ald That's a bridge too far.
The filter seems to be Dissident Right > Red Ice > Steve King > Anne Coulter > Tucker >Trump
@Wood-Ape - OK/MN Holy crap, dude, I was literally just going to say that, lol.
@Wood-Ape - OK/MN *Chews gum and twirls imaginary hair* Oh, my God... It's like we're, like, the same person and stuff..." *Pops gum*
My open official policy to shill for Calexit. Let the left secede peacefully and have their gay ethnic orgy forever. I'm sure as heck not going to put on the union blue and march to stop them.
Oh, and Calexit means the rest of the US becomes 70% white OVERNIGHT.
@Nemets I see that point. I also see where Identity Dixie is coming from.
It's history now, and we're in the same boat as White North Americans
@Nemets I struggle with that as well. I tend to identify more with the Bloody Kansas types who wanted to prevent the spread of slavery, partially for moral reasons, but also to prevent the spread of the types of people who were usually the slaves. That said, though, by 1861, those kinds of voices were about as prominent among unionists as rational centrists are among Democrats today.
It was a brother war and didn't need to happen. And Reconstruction was also the prototype of USA imperialist foreign occupation and Poz-injection that took place elsewhere since then.
Musonius Rufus is an unapologetic neoConfederate, but I like his big brain take that the American Revolution and Failed War of Southern Independence were both simply cultural continuations of the previous English Civil Wars. Cavaliers vs Roundheads/Puritans.
I obviously agree, though, that it would've been best if it hadn't happened. They should have just followed through with the American Colonization Society in Liberia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_Colonization_Society
I always liked revolutionary war history better than Civil War history
@ThisIsChris It's less fraught, that's for sure.
better outfits too
Revolutionary War = brothers war, too 😔
We still exist with national/cultural animosity within the empire.
