    I don’t care. The United States has been the main perpetrator of countless war crimes across the world. It has been born out of slavery, its land is built on the Natives that were once thriving, it has forced territories under its laws without representation, it has been an apartheid state with white people ruling over colored people, it has installed countless dictatorships to protect its economic interests, its “democracy” is a sham and the Netherlands did it first, it is chiefly responsible for crimes against peace and humanity in Vietnam and Iraq, its citizens are subject to total surveillance while many of them have a lack of water, food, and shelter, its government is bribed constantly by price-gouging corporations, it will gladly use military equipment on its own citizens, and it has strived against democratic elections that are inconvenient. The United States ought to be split up into all of its independent states so the world may be free of its tyranny.

      Do you think 50 mini USAs with nukes would be better? Or would there be a couple decades of war until one state more or less took the same place?

      I mean right off the bat the old CSA club will get back together. And Imagine the Pacific Northwest and California will work together. No individual state in the Midwest has the economy to stand on its own so they’ll probably work together, leaving the remaining states to work together or be conquered.

      Plus entities like the CIA and FBI and corporations will still exist and exert their influence.
