Is advocating for secession from the United States a good idea? (lemmygrad.ml)

I've been looking for ways to weaken the United States from the inside and I wonder what you guys think of U.S. secession movements. How much emphasis should be placed on them? How should people go about them? I've been thinking about this for a few years. I suppose I would meet up at a secessionist group and talk about Parenti's work.

Edit: There are lots of different answers:

Yes.

unequivocally a good thing. ... Whether it is realistic is another question.

I’m not really sure how much of an effect that would be

Not really.

I suppose this is a good thing, because since there is undecided territory, that means an answer can be formulated. It is best to think tactically. Ultimately, material conditions have first to be met, and the population doesn't seem to want it outside of small groups. Secession should not be pursued before there is a solid grasp of Marxism-Leninism by the general population and sufficent progress toward a worker's revolution, if at all.

EDIT: I meant the plurality of different answers on this is a good thing, not secession.
