if we balkanize the US, what stops Nevada from getting rid of a minimum wage or all taxation above a certain income? What stops Texas from fulfilling its dream of being a patriarchal white supremacist EcoFascist state? What will happen to California? The place that will inevitably take the place of Neoliberal “progressive” culture with backwards class analysis?
As long as they don’t have nukes (so they can’t wage war with impunity in a multipolar or BRICS/China-led world), let them. They’ll collapse in their own time. Yeah it’ll suck for people there, but they’ll be able to do something about it, unlike the people on the other side of the world that the US fucks with.
That’s a pretty good point, the nukes are the main issue. Anything that stops the US from participating in foreign policy of any kind is worth it but not at the expense of nukes flying
This is why I figure the people here will never be able to gain control over the state. There are just too goddamn many life-exterminating weapons of every sort and the chance that some random shithead from Alabama or Glassgow could snag one during the struggle is unacceptable to the rest of the world either.

Let them nuke themselves in peace
