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

[-] huf@hexbear.net 54 points 1 year ago

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

it may be difficult, but texan irredentism is always an option

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

[-] CthulhusIntern@hexbear.net 72 points 1 year ago

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

Odds on a lone Texas trying to fight Mexico and eating shit?

[-] axont@hexbear.net 30 points 1 year ago

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

[-] Frank@hexbear.net 52 points 1 year ago

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.

[-] came_apart_at_Kmart@hexbear.net 52 points 1 year ago

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.

[-] ComradeCmdrPiggy@hexbear.net 23 points 1 year ago

I thought that title went to Florida

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

[-] BurgerPunk@hexbear.net 24 points 1 year ago

inshallah president AMLO our people yearn for freedom

[-] axont@hexbear.net 41 points 1 year ago

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.

[-] Egon@hexbear.net 40 points 1 year ago

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.

[-] WIIHAPPYFEW@hexbear.net 31 points 1 year ago

AMLO pls the people yearn for freedom and soft shells

[-] TheGamingLuddite@hexbear.net 37 points 1 year ago

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.

Is it unconstitutional not to put this man on death row? Lmao

[-] daisy@hexbear.net 26 points 1 year ago

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.

[-] bizzle@midwest.social 40 points 1 year ago

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.

[-] 420blazeit69@hexbear.net 19 points 1 year ago

Texas leaving and the U.S. extracting its nukes would be the best scenario. Horrible for a lot of people in Texas, but better for the world at large.

[-] Evilphd666@hexbear.net 18 points 1 year ago

Good they can piss off too. Heck they can take all our nukes xi-plz
