Civil War Goes Mainstream

Secession Accelerates in America

The Idaho House has passed a bill in favor of Greater Idaho. Parts of Oregon have voted to join "Greater Idaho" and the Idaho House welcomes them.

Even if this bill passes the Senate and is approved by the Governor, and even if Oregon agrees, it then goes to the Congress. There's reason to think this can pass Congress though: it won't affect the Senate. A lot of secession plans won't get off the ground because they change the make-up of the Senate, but this plan is mainly moving lines on a map.

Another factor working in favor of this secession attempt is that, as the vote shows, the neighboring state welcomes the addition. Adding a huge rural area doesn't bring much to Idaho, but because Oregon has permissive drug laws, it would move the border from under an hour from Boise to more like 5 hours away.

HOUSE JOINT MEMORIAL 1

OREGON AND IDAHO BORDERS – States findings of the Legislature and resolves that the Idaho Legislature stands ready to begin discussions with the Oregon Legislature regarding the potential to relocate the Oregon/Idaho state boundary.

If Greater Idaho succeeds, it leaves a small rump of a state of Oregon with under 4 million in population. There are many places such as New York where a split is far more compelling with larger populations and economies at stake.

The problem for most secession plans is the local economy and national politics. Rural areas are poor. Most are subsidized by urban (corporate) taxpayers. As noted with the New York plan, instead of foregoing Wall Street revenue, upstate wants some type of reveue share. If a tax-eating area offers to leave, it has a far stronger offer for the rest of the state. At the national level, any plan that causes a shift in the U.S. Senate will meet resistance. Democrats push for DC statehood while in power because it gives them 2 more Senators. With the country split nearly 50-50 at the moment, any plan that gives one party an advantage will be opposed. Secession movements have to plan for this or they will go nowhere. With Greater Idaho, the main opposition will come from Oregon itself, followed by Congress who might oppose it simply because people fear "who's next?" If Oregon and Idaho can redraw the map, why not every state where there is agreement?

Greater Idaho

Unlike some moves such as Western New York breaking away, this move will not affect the evenly divided U.S. Senate. 'Greater Idaho' Moves Closer To Bi-State Referendum As Two More Oregon Counties Vote To Leave

“We’re about matching government to people and their values. You get rid of polarization and tension by matching people to the government they want,” McCaw told The Epoch Times.

Before Civil War was Cool

Civil war has grown into a hot topic, as social mood predicted.

2012: Civil unrest, civil war and secession coming to America? Or World War III?

2016: USA Social Mood: Civil War

2017: America Is On Track For a Breakup

"Civil war" is under secession because that's the same impulse expressed differently. Unless there's a formal move towards an actual war, the most likely path right now is radical decentralization, defacto secession via nullification. Funnily enough, the Red states are about halfway to a Constitutional Convention and one of the proposed amendments would let two-thirds of the states nullify federal laws or regulations.

Countdown to WW3 and American Civil War 3

The U.S. has fought two civil wars: the Revolutionary War and the Civil War. The next one, if it happens, will be far more brutal. VD: The USA’s Last War

No matter which way you slice it, I suspect the war will turn into a variety of sieges of Blue cities by Red armies. This is exasperated by the fact that every state in Team Red is geographically contiguous, while every state in Team Blue is split into about three or four islands. The Republicans in the Spanish Civil War faced the same problem, and Franco’s plan to defeat in detail was made the path of least resistance by the drawing of the battle lines.

These sieges will be an absolute bitch. Not only will the massive concentration of urban buildings act as a natural fortress, the United States Interstate System was built to simultaneously serve as military infrastructure and urban fortifications. Ever notice how the Interstates loop around major cities like walls? Ever notice spaces dug for mortar pits, ammo dumps, staging areas for motor-pools (rest stops,) and that each major city has an international airport within that loop of Interstate wall? This is to say nothing about Air Defense assets, which combined with the International Airport will almost assure local air superiority for the defenders of blue cities. Also consider that the Urban battlefield has become 4d, as metro systems and other such tunnels will need to be fought through and won.

The war’s outcome will never be in doubt. But it will be long, and it will cost more lives than we’ve ever thought possible. I can assure the dear reader that America will never be the same afterwards.

The map of the 2016 election helps one visualize why a siege war would unfold. Most purple states and even some blue states like New York are an island of blue in a sea of red.

From the original source of the quotes above:

This will not be the romance of 1861-1865. Names and legends will be born, as they are in all wars, but they’ll be a small conciliation to the sheer weight of loss that will follow. I doubt it will break America, but it will age it. Even our ideals on the Right-Wing side of things, our justified hatred of the current order and hope to change it, won’t be enough. We may even forget it after the first five minutes, when no one will remember why the war was fought in the first place. Only that we’re Team Red and they’re Team Blue.

I find it very strange. Not thirty years ago, Gettysburg (1993) was released to great reception across the nation. Reenacting was widespread and commonplace. Old men, many veterans of WWII and Vietnam, looked back on that long past war as a reminder of their new national unity. Confederate flags were rarely given a second glance. Robert E. Lee was regarded as a great man, and both northerners and southerners felt old wounds had finally healed.

Now, any bar in America has a MAGA Boomer talking about the Second Civil War.

Time is a flat circle.

How likely is a civil war? I don't know. I do think that even in the rosiest of scenarios, the overturning of Roe points to the future. Blue and Red states are already ignoring federal laws on immigration and drugs. Red states and counties have hinted they'll ignore federal gun control laws. States are going to become very different places to live in. If worried about war, exit the cities. Live someplace that is deep red/blue because it's more likely those places will become more red or more blue to your liking if that's where you want to be, and to your frustration if not.

Will the GOP Pursue 2020 Election Results?

I haven't watched 2000 Mules yet, but this thread explains how there was clear ballot stuffing going on: Just saw #2000Mules. Why is it devastating?

For all the time spent on January 6, an election deep-dive investigation is warranted.

I don't know if they have the guts because of where it could lead. If there was organized fraud and the 2020 election was in fact stolen, and considering how the media and government have behaved, it would be impossible to stop whatever the public demanded.

Texas Can Legally Invade Mexico

The American people do not have a government. USG, the supposed sovereign, has abdicated control of the border. It has ignored a foreign invasion. It has abetted a foreign invasion. Under Article I, section 10 of the Constitution, the States are allowed to engage in war against foreign powers to stop said invasion.

“We’re at a breaking point. We’ve got miles upon miles of border that just aren’t patrolled because we have to deal with, frankly, an invasion,” Brandon Judd, president of the National Border Patrol Council, told The Epoch Times.

“When you’re dealing with over 200,000 illegal border crossings per month, I don’t know how you don’t call it anything but that.”

Article IV, Section 4 of the U.S. Constitution states, in part: “The United States shall guarantee to every State in this Union a Republican Form of Government, and shall protect each of them against Invasion.”

Article I, Section 10 of the U.S. Constitution states, in part: “No State shall, without the Consent of Congress, lay any Duty of Tonnage, keep Troops, or Ships of War in time of Peace, enter into any Agreement or Compact with another State, or with a foreign Power, or engage in War, unless actually invaded, or in such imminent Danger as will not admit of delay.”

An invasion of Mexico may not be necessary because Mexico cooperated with President Trump on the border. Perhaps it would cooperate with U.S. border states. If not, they're party to an invasion. Who will USG side with, a foreign invader or the American people? You have to think about your answer...maybe the civil war would be over before it even begins...

Texas Goes to the Truckers

To the list of things slowing and disrupting supply chains, add a border state that is fed up with being invaded from the south.

ZH: Texas Clogs Ports Of Entry As State Forces Attention On Illegal Immigration

DPS officers have conducted “enhanced commercial vehicle safety inspections” since April 6 at seven ports of entry—Brownsville, Los Indios, Pharr, Laredo, Eagle Pass, Del Rio, and El Paso. Texas has 28 land ports of entry with Mexico.

Significant slowdowns were recorded at the Pharr-Reynosa International Bridge, with the wait time increasing up to 4 hours, according to real-time data captured on the Customs and Border Protection website. Laredo and Brownsville bridges experienced the same. Wait time is recorded from when a vehicle passes the Mexican toll gate until it clears U.S. customs.

Under older concepts of law and sovereignty, USG has abdicated control over the United States by refusing to control the border. I say older, but not outdated. The Gods of the Copybook Headings haven't returned yet. When they do, the political movement/man who guarantees control of the border becomes "king."

Gab Launches Parallel Economy Fund

Technology is worthless on its own. The same people who claim blockchain or Bitcoin can liberate people are the same ones who though the Internet would liberate political speech around the world. Instead, authoritarian regimes have achieve more complete control over their nations, while Western authoritarians are now empowered by this technology. Blockchain will create the perfect totalitarian prison where all economic activity takes place under the government's watchful eye or doesn't take place at all, and anyone who doesn't play by those rules can start shopping for their prison gear.

There is a term that has fallen out of usage: political-economy. Law, economics and politics are all intertwined. To leave off one leg of this stool, or to get one leg wrong, will ruin whatever project is being attempted. Assuming one isn't starting from a wrecked base, where simply improving the law can generate extremely positive benefits. Think China 1978, Peru in the early 1990s and so on.

In the West, the advance of authoritarian leftism has gone unchecked for decades. Most of the nominally "conservative" politicians are leftists. Their highest value is anti-racism, aka anti-nationalism and in the American context, anti-white. Conservative politicians spend their energy fomenting for war against Russia and China, undermine border control efforts, deep-six healthcare reform and defend BigTech as it takes apart the lives of free-thinking Americans (and Canadians , Australians, Germans, English and so on...) on the left and right.

Nothing can be gained from debate because debate is illegal. Debate is not wanted. There is no debate with authoritarian power. Ask the truckers of Canada if protest is allowed. People who desire freedom must return to a fundamental understanding of power: the political-economy. Whether diversity caused it or not, America has split into different nations. The United States of America is a false construct. Where "we" would debate before, there is only expression of power now. People who hate America, Americans and Christians their history, culture, people, politics and God, do not debate things like history or economics. They tear down statues, they ban symbols, they have their enemies arrested, fined and/or imprisoned. The shut down their businesses. They imprison them in their homes, inject them with experimental drugs, treat their children worse than criminals.

There is no way to stop this without accumulating power. If it were possible to debate again in the future, that first requires establishing a power base. If debate can not happen anymore, then Americans must prepare for persecution and eventually war. In the context of 4G, war has already started, but most of the public doesn't realize it yet. One way or another, Americans are going to a need a new political-economy. Gab: The Parallel Economy Fund

Gab will be investing in early stage startup businesses who are working to solve a set of problems in the Parallel Economy. This could be in technology, media, healthcare, finance, or a few other areas of interest to us that we will elaborate more on in the future.

Some of our areas of interest right now include:

1. Making Bitcoin more user friendly and privacy focused for everyday use

2. Censorship resistant shipping & logistics

3. 3D Printed 2nd Amendment protection

4. Decentralized Christian healthcare options

5. Software for homeschooling parents

6. Distributed pasture grazed meat distribution and butchering

7. Christian Entertainment/Content

8. Mesh networks, radio technology, and alternative forms of off grid communication.

9. Technology for Churches and planting Churches

10. Christian AirBnb

Gab will invest 25-50k in startup capital, Gab Ads credit, Gab Cloud services for free speech hosting services, and access to the Gab community of entrepreneurs for mentorship and help with scaling and distribution.

Eventually, the parallel economy will develop a functional parallel currency, and that's when things will get very interesting.

Even if you aren't interested in politics, politics will be interested in you. It will be impossible to not choose a side in the coming years. As happened with vaccines and mandates, people who went along will suddenly find they don't want to go along anymore. The circle of acceptable thinking and contrary opinions will keep shrinking. As the failures of USG pile up, the currency will eventually crack. There's already talk of price controls because of inflation. The Baizuo blame high prices on greed, instead of incompetent government and central banking policies. Nothing but destruction is coming for people who passively accept the current political-economy. The only choice is to accept it or not. If not, then it is long past time to get busy building.

Putin Explains How Modern Ukraine Was a Soviet Invention

The Obama-Biden regime has destroyed Ukraine. The puppet government installed via coup in 2014 has severed the nation in two with its aggressive anti-Russia policies. Congratulations. Any futher destruction that falls upon the rump Ukraine is wholly the responsibility of the Obama-Biden regime and its puppets in Ukraine.

President Putin spoke to the Russian people on Monday evening. This is tweetstorm translating it:

"historically, the inhabitants of the south-western regions have called themselves 'russian' and 'orthodox'. we think this is self-evident."

"modern ukraine was completely and utterly created by the bolsheviks. this process began immediately after the revolution of 1917. lenin and his comrades did this in a manner which was very rough on russia proper, by cutting off a historical part of its territory."

he's elaborating on stalin & khruschev cutting off parts of russia, creating "soviet ukraine".

putin elaborating on the bolsheviks compromising with ukrainian nationalists to create the chimera of "ukraine". nothing you haven't heard on our episode on ukrainian history!

"why did the communists make such generous presents to the minority nationalists? this makes no sense, it is insane. but there is an explanation: after the revolution, the main goal of the bolsheviks was to stay in power by any means necessary."

"the leninist principles of nation-building weren't just a mistake, they were 'worse than a mistake'. this became extremely obvious in 1991."

"we cannot change the past, but we have to speak about it openly and honestly."

"ukraine was completely built and created by lenin. he was its architect, including his orders on including donbass in the ukrainian soviet republic by force."

"now the ukrainians destroy lenin monuments and want decommunization. you want decommunization? we can show you what REAL DECOMMUNIZATION means in ukraine."

New Yorkers Try Secession Again

My Champlain Valley: Proposal would divide New York into 3 self-governing regions

The proposal, supported by Hawley, would divide New York into three separate governments: The “New York Region,” the “Montauk Region” and the “New Amsterdam Region,” which includes all of upstate New York. Lawmakers said the goal behind the bill is to better serve the people of New York.

“The rest of New York State is totally under the thumb of New York City,” Republican Assemblyman David DiPietro said. “New York City controls every dollar and every aspect that happens in Western New York. It’s a totally different culture [here] than it is in New York City.”

The proposal, however, faces a financial battle, particularly because much of New York State’s revenue comes from the city.

“I think there’s a lot of questions that come up when it from a financial perspective,” Republican Assemblyman Philip Palmesano said. “15 to 20-percent of our state revenue right now comes from Wall Street. We have to take that into consideration.

The funny part is, I bet Wall Street would rather be taxed by the New Amsterdam Region. Additionally, a bear market will dent those revenues. It would be extremely short-sighted, high revenues or not, to vote down freedom over a funding issue that can be solved. I have zero respect for people who sell out their freedom for money, be they New Yorkers or Quebecois. The Founding Fathers pledged their lives, treasure and Sacred Honor for liberty and self-determination. If I was running this effort, I would offer to forego the Wall Street revenue. I would buy support for the bill, rather than worry about losing the revenue!

As for practicality, this would not require Congressional approval because it creates autonomous zones within the state, and wouldn't impact the Congresssional and Senate represenation.

Suspended From Twitter Again

Twitter suspended my account today because I said Kyle Rittenhouse is a good kid who was in the wrong place at the wrong time. He is not a hero, but he and everyone who was out there defending property, providing medical aid, cleaning up, etc. deserve recognition from the City of Kenosha for helping when the police were ordered to stand down, making it unsafe for firemen or EMTs too enter. Every town in the USA has dozens of people like Kyle who volunteer for neighborhood watch, youth sports, pick up litter, watch over their neighbors. They make the town a nicer, safer place to live in. The only crime that has taken place is his political prosecution. I support him and all the people like him who go the extra mile to help their neighbors.

This message is considered "condoning violence" by the sociopaths who run Twitter. Eventually, they will decide owning gold and maybe even crypto is hate, saying positive things about Republicans is violence, etc. Jack's days are probably numbered with his discussion of hyperinflation. I recommend not using the site to anyone who wants to avoid being targeted by a mob, doesn't want their personal information hacked or who doesn't want to engage in self-censorship. Being on Twitter, Facebook, Instagram and all the other BigTech platforms beholden to sociopathic leftists is like voluntarily choosing to live in 1970s East Germany. Freedom is only a click away on sites such as Gab and Twetch. More simply, if you stay on Twitter, then it tells the world that you don't value the first amendment or freedom of speech because it obviously doesn't exist there, anymore than it existed in East Germany. Not everyone who spoke out in East Germany was targeted after all.

Stocks Are About to Converge With Social Mood

UVA: New Initiative Explores Deep, Persistent Divides Between Biden and Trump Voters

Significant numbers of both Trump and Biden voters show a willingness to consider violating democratic tendencies and norms if needed to serve their priorities. Roughly 2 in 10 Trump and Biden voters strongly agree it would be better if a “President could take needed actions without being constrained by Congress or courts,” and roughly 4 in 10 (41%) of Biden and half (52%) of Trump voters at least somewhat agree that it’s time to split the country, favoring blue/red states seceding from the union.

The headline is misleading because they call it committment to democracy, but this is the ruling class bait-and-switch that says the current system, controlled by them by authoritarian means, is democracy. There's nothing undemocratic about secession, in fact I'd wager than the Biden and Trump voters who strongly support secession are the most committed to democracy in this nation. It's just that they want a functional democracy that represents their interests, aka they want independence. Something USG regularly supports around the world with missiles and bombs.

Everything except the stock market says the social mood is extremely negative and deteriorating. I see no sign that the ruling class will change its ways. I do see signs the stock market will.

Social Mood is at an Interim Peak and Secession Polls at 50 percent

Nearly 50 percent of Democrats in the Northwest and more than half in the South want to secede from the Union during these "good times." Will any of these movements come to fruition when the 4th Turning accelerates into the nadir of social mood?

Bright Line Watch: Still miles apart: Americans and the state of U.S. democracy half a year into the Biden presidency

As in our previous report, we caution that this survey item reflects initial reactions by respondents about an issue that they are very unlikely to have considered carefully. Secession is a genuinely radical proposition and expressions of support in a survey may map only loosely onto willingness to act toward that end. We include the question because it taps into respondents’ commitments to the American political system at the highest level and with reference to a concrete alternative (regional unions).

Support for secession under the specific hypothetical unions format is illustrated in the map below. As in the previous survey, levels of expressed support for secession are arrestingly high, with 37% of respondents overall indicating willingness to secede. Within each region, the dominant partisan group is most supportive of secession. Republicans are most secessionist in the South and Mountain regions whereas it is Democrats on the West Coast and in the Northeast. In the narrowly divided Heartland region, it is partisan independents who find the idea most attractive.

The map understates the desire for secession, except in the South because that is the only map that accurately reflects a potential nation. Half of independents and two-thirds of Republicans would support Southern secession. The numbers will only rise with smoking-gun evidence of electoral fraud emerging in Georgia and the federal government's moves to stop any and all investigations.

These patterns are consistent from our January/February survey, but the changes since then are troubling. Our previous survey was fielded just weeks after the January 6 uprising. By this summer, we anticipated, political tempers may have cooled — not necessarily as a result of any great reconciliation but perhaps from sheer exhaustion after the relentless drama of Trump. For instance, the historian Heather Cox Richardson posited that sustained consideration of the Big Lie narrative would diminish political ardor among Trump supporters, which she related to waning popular support for secession in the Confederacy during the spring of 1861.

Yet rather than support for secession diminishing over the past six months, as we expected, it rose in every region and among nearly every partisan group. The jump is most dramatic where support was already highest (and has the greatest historical precedent) — among Republicans in the South, where secession support leapt from 50% in January/February to 66% in June. Support among Republicans in the Mountain region increased as well, by 7 points, from 36% to 43%. Among Democrats in the West, a near-majority of 47% (up 6 points) supports a schism, as do 39% (up 5 points) in Northeast. Support jumped 9 points among independents in the Heartland as well, reaching 43%. Even subordinate partisan groups appear to find secession more appealing now than they did last winter, though only increases for Democrats in the South, Heartland, and Mountain regions are statistically discernible at the 0.05 significance level. The broad and increasing willingness of respondents to embrace these alternatives is a cause for concern.

America is a pool of gasoline in search of a match. Consider that none of these areas has a serious secessionist movement underway, not at the national level. There are secessionist movements calling for reshaping state boundaries, for suburbs to leave cities, and so forth, but no major movement calling for independence. That won't be the case for long if these numbers reflect serious attitudes though, because this is an intermediate-term peak in social mood. As bad as you might think partisanship might be, these are the good times. Republicans are still talking to Democrats. When mood goes towards the nadir, the stock market will be far lower. Unemployment will be high, perhaps as high as during the pandemic, with no hope it will end. The U.S. dollar will start collapsing at some point, meaning the Federal Reserve and U.S. government will be unable to spend money to boost the economy. Their actions will only increase unemployment and accelerate the collapse of the currency. There will be out of control riots all over the cities. Democrat areas will not deploy police, looters will run wild. The federal government, if controlled by Democrats, will likely arrest white people, including police officers, who defend their property or do their job. There will come a point when being in the union will offer nothing but economic pain. Core functions of government such as law and justice won't exist in the USA. We could see a region such as the South go from zero to independence in a very short period of time. Once one area goes, the nation will split because that nation is so evenly divided politially. One or two key states would tip the balance of power "permanently." Then you will see the United States dissolve like the Soviet Union did in the early 1990s.

I wish I could say that is an extreme fantasy scenario, but the way police and citizens were treated when they confronted rioters in 2020 says it is not. The riots of 2020 were a product of the forerunner of critical race theory, it was created by indoctrinating students during the 1990s and 2000s. What is being taught in the 2010s and 2020s (if critical race theory isn't banned) will be an order of magnitude larger outburst of violence and mayhem.

More broadly, support for secession can rise with social mood when there is a unifying theme behind it. Breakaway movements most often benefit from negative mood however, because it requires reaching the point where union is no longer tolerated. There are multiple local secession movements in the United States alone, along with various movements around the globe. Few achieve anything because it is a very difficult step and mood seldom reaches the point where it sparks action. Even if both sides on the issue agree, consider how long it took the United Kingdom to achieve Brexit, and that wasn't a national breakup. The sstates created by the fall of the Soviet Union were already nations, they were simply returning to their natural state once the empire dissolved.

With mood headed for a great decline in the decades ahead, secessionist movements that grow today and prepare for independence will likely see a moment when the general public will support independence. If somewhere like the Southern U.S. develops a serious move towards sovereignty, such as a joint governors' council between the states that coordinates on major political policies, including those where it resists or ignores federal power, then the framework for an independence declaration will begin forming. Fully formed independence movements in Scotland, Catalan, etc. already have taken this step. Odds of secession are highest in those regions.

If America Doesn't Expel Its Ruling Class, South Africa is Its Future

If you're wondering what the future of America looks like, look to South Africa. This is inevitable. Inevitable because the current ruling class only maintains power by setting one race against another. A solid third of the nation, including most of the ruling class, not only see nothing wrong with critical race theory, but think it is actually good. Similar ideas exist in South Africa and you can see them bearing fruit. The battle over CRT is only a battle though, because it isn't so much a theory, an acadmemic idea, as what the ruling class believes. Think of CRT more like the Immaculate Conception. Imagine a big group of Catholics were teaching this in public schools all over the USA. A lot of people want it banned because it is religious, but many public school teachers are Catholics teaching all sorts of Christian theology, moreover while the various Protestant sects unite against IC being taught, they're also teaching Christian theology and are actually 90 percent aligned with the Catholics. The fight over IC would be a great kabuki theater for the Christian takeover of the public schooling system. Similarly, what is called "wokeness" is the new religion of the godless American pagans, with original sins such as being born white and penance such as defunding the police. America's ruling class is anti-American, anti-white (if you're not aligned with them) and anti-Christian because it cannot abide competing religion.

The racial rot is so deep that even right-wingers believe in the core ideas behind wokeness. Here is a book review from Law and Liberty: Telling the Hardest Truths about Race

Today we are bombarded with arguments about “systemic racism.” Those on the left insist that most the American institutions are inherently racist. Those on the right claim we have purged racism from our public institutions. Seldom does one hear a cogent explanation of what “systemic racism” means. In his final chapter Murray offers this useful distinction: “Many of the problems are systemic, but they will not be solved by going after racism. They will be solved, or ameliorated, by going after systemic educational problems, systemic law enforcement problems, systemic employment problems.” Murray makes a convincing case that we cannot begin to address these educational, economic, and law-enforcement problems without facing the two “truths” that he describes.

Another way of saying this is that half a century after the civil rights revolution of the 1960s, we continue to grapple with the long-term consequences of centuries of slavery, Jim Crow, and racial discrimination.

It goes without saying that improving on these problems requires wholesale rejection of the concept of racism. But why do otherwise intelligent people believe nonsense like the legacy of slavery and Jim Crow? A comparison of test scores and crime rates across the globe shows similar differences between European, East Asian, African and South American societies. The differences we see around the globe are imported into the USA by immigration. Look at the data through this lens and one can see America is already an ultra "anti-racist" society because the outcomes for most its racial and ethnic groups is better than in their homelands.

The idea of racism sticks around because it is good propaganda, nobody likes being called racist, and to accept racial differences at the group level is to be a "racist." Additionally, many people believe Blank Slate theory that assumes humans are not products of evolution or culture, or even simply different, but are merely chemical computers produced like widgets in some factory, all with the same abilities, temperment, intelligence, athleticism, etc. Common sense says people have distinct traits, and these traits are inheritable because they run in families, and that ethnicities are large extended families, and racial groups even larger families. Pluck an individual from any group and you may have some stereotypes about them, but really nothing to judge them by except themselves. To condemn or praise them for their group membership would be bigotry. However, that is what the ruling class of America does. It condemns the nation and the entire category of "white people" aka Christians, Americans who fly the American flag, etc. as "racists." Unforunately, even if most people accepted that the ruling class were the bigots, until the lie of the Black Slate is refuted, they would likely fall back down the hole because they'd be at a loss to explain why there are group-level differences in various life outcomes. More pressingly, America will never defeat the ruling class currently hurtling the nation towards civil war.

However, defeating racism as a concept also means "going to war" with the ruling class. Racism has become their raison d^etre along with climate change. If America doesn't have a racism problem (and if climate change is overstated), then it has a ruling class problem. Institutions such as the Democrat and Republican parties, nearly all universities and media outlets, along with public schools and most of government are filled with people who should not be in those institutions. Moreover, the public cannot discern fact from fiction. The ruling class already calls secure elections, math, Christianity and the nuclear family "racist" and "white supremacy." They are already fighting a "race war" against the American people.

The difference between South Africa and the USA is a few decades. Demographically, the U.S. is still dominated by whites, but they are already a minority group if we count by children. When today's 5 year olds grow up, they will live in a non-white USA. The glue that held the nation together will be gone and, at the current trend, racial identity politics will take over. Unlike tribal South Africa, whites will remain a major cohort. America probably won't break down all over, but localized collapses will happen because whites will flee and form racially homogenous communities. Assuming the left doesn't turn America into Zimbabwe or Rwanda, a white racial identity movement will make sure this happens and that the government must accept it to keep the nation functioning and united. Whole states will turn into something like Baltimore or Mexico and others will look like Vermont and Idaho do today. A key consideration for any family or businss should be where they are located in the United States. Are they surrounded by friends or enemies? Civilization will persist in pockets, elsewhere it disappear in an instant, perhaps never to return.

The secession movement has already started. Buckhead, a suburb of Atlanta, is moving to secede from the city: Buckhead secession group calls for emergency hearings over plan to leave Atlanta

Growing up in Israel, she saw a suicide bomber blow himself up outside her family's pizzeria. Her mother taught her at an early age to duck below the car windows whenever they passed a particular patch of road known for terrorist shootings. She's had stones thrown at her and spent much of her early childhood looking over her shoulder. Kovitch thought those days were behind her when she moved to the upscale community of Buckhead in Atlanta, but she was wrong.

Kovitch and her boyfriend Jason Eades were dropping off their car one rainy summer night last year at a Mercedes Benz dealership in the tony part of town.

As they waited for their Uber, a man came over to the couple and started harassing them. He asked for money, and when they said no, things got violent.

The suspect, identified as felon Fakhraddivin Moore, reportedly pulled out a knife, called the couple racist, told them they were in the "real Atlanta now," and threatened to kill them.

"He pointed the knife at me and told me over and over, 'White b****, get on your knees and beg for your life,'" Kovitch told the Washington Examiner.

When she wouldn't, the man reportedly punched Eades in the left temple and then turned his anger toward Kovitch. She tried to block his fists, but after the second hit, she was on the ground and unconscious. The incident was caught on camera. Moore was arrested and charged with seven felonies, but those were downgraded to misdemeanors.

If we had an objective press, they'd call this incident what is really is: ethnic cleansing. Left-wing racial forces are unleashing racial violence on their enemies, defunding police and letting ethnic cleansers off on light charges. This is how areas go from mixed race to racially homogeneous very quickly. For individuals, the choice is stark. If you don't live in a collapsing state, you'll be fine. If you do, you'll probably experience rape and murders first or second hand. Your home will have zero value. You'll count yourself lucky to escape with your life.

ZH: "It's A War Zone" - South Africa To Deploy 25,000 Troops As Country On Brink Of Civil War

In the past seven days, South Africa has never come closer to becoming a failed state. The riotous looting has reduced Gauteng and KwaZulu-Natal, the two provinces hit hard by the social unrest into what resembles warzones. The country quickly descended into what could be the beginning innings of a civil war, prompting the government to call up military reserves and seek deployment of up to 25,000 troops to quell the violence.

South Africa didn't reach this point overnight. It slowly deteriorated over decades. Yet when it reaches the tipping point, something as simple as a riot can turn into the collapse of civil order.

Why have the Obama and Biden administration been purging right-wing soldiers from the military? Why are they hunting for Trump voters in the military ranks? Because they cannot trust the military will be loyal to them in a civil war. They are planning for a South Africa situation. They have shown you the game plan of removing police and letting criminal mobs run wild for days and weeks on end. Are you preparing by moving your family to a more secure geographic area or will you become a nameless, faceless victim of "random" criminal violence?

Secession Talk Gets Serious: Oregon Counties Want Out

Insider: 'Greater Idaho' took one step closer to being a real thing this week, as 5 more counties have voted to secede from liberal Oregon in hopes of joining conservative Idaho.

Seven rural Oregon counties have already voted in favor of an effort aimed at leaving Oregon and becoming part of Idaho and organizers of the Greater Idaho movement say more counties will soon have the option on the ballot.

"We want out from underneath Oregon's governance and go underneath Idaho's governance, which we tend to match up better with, as far as our values go," the group's president, Mike McCarter, told Insider. "Now for 20 years plus, we've been trying to change the makeup and improve the makeup of the Oregon legislature but when you haven't got the vote, there's not much you can do about it."

The ballot measures called on officials in each county to start considering the move and are the first step of adding the region to Idaho.

Secession is going to become a huge issue in the rising generation. The odds of states breaking apart is very high. The potential for a total breakup are also high if decentralization and steps such as letting state shift their borders is prevented. Secession on some level is an outlet during periods of negative mood. Voters in Oregon leaving for Idaho, for example, will be busied with the political change if they move into Idaho. Should their frustrations be intensified under the current framework, they will look for solutions at the national level, be it secession or voting for nationalists.

Georgia Legislators Lose Employment Over Voter Protection Law

No sympathy for anyone in power getting wiped out because they didn't lift a finger when it happened to others. Townhall: Cancel Culture Comes to Georgia and Comes for Me

Last week, in a span of 24 hours, my reputation and business were destroyed by a series of tweets in which The Lincoln Project knowingly lied about me. Among other things, they falsely accused me of trying to “suppress voters and people” in several tweets that also tagged my employer and several of its well-known clients. The goal was to cancel me and inflict as much harm as possible, and they succeeded. Unfortunately, disgusting tactics like these are becoming the norm and the truth does not seem to matter anymore.

The truth is that I co-sponsored and voted for bi-partisan Georgia Senate Bill 62, which provides ballots in the state of Georgia to have a watermark, seal, and other security elements to include the precinct number—which are best practices. I did not sponsor or vote in favor of other recent bills in Georgia that sought to limit no excuse absentee balloting and reduce weekend voting. As a matter of fact, some groups attacked me for not supporting these other measures. My record is crystal clear. I believe voting is a sacred right and should be available, transparent, and secure for all citizens. I am proud of my work in this area.

The fact that I serve in elected office does not justify what happened to me. I am also a husband and father, as well as a source of income for my family and many other people who worked for me in the private sector. In Georgia, we are a citizen’s legislature and considered part-time. I do not earn my living serving as a state Senator. In fact, I donated my $17,000 a year salary to charity. I earned a living in business. I worked with incredible people, built a great team, and we were very successful.

Hilarious that the pedophile project is still getting people canceled. Let that sink in for a moment. A corrupt political PAC headed by a pedophile has the power to remove state legislators from their private employment. There is no "threat" in the future. You're living it.

Vox explains why there's no sympathy from the right-wing for those being canceled.

VD: The cucks cry

Even after being successfully canceled, conservatives still don't learn. They would rather cry about "disgusting tactics" to the enemy media rather than author a fucking law to do something about it. But those "disgusting tactics" are not becoming the norm, they are the norm. They were becoming the norm back in 2005 when people like me were being attacked by the SFWA and the ADL, with the full approval of conservatives who were more than happy to distance themselves from "extremists" and "nationalists" and "supremacists".

Don't ever support a conservative. There is absolutely no point in doing so. They don't fight. They will never fight, not even when their backs are up against the wall. They permitted the weaponization of social media by making the technology companies legally unaccountable under Section 230 and their own literally blasphemous free speech dogma.

I see that people sometimes wonder why the Left keeps pushing its agenda when so many conservative Americans are armed.

It's because they know perfectly well that all those conservatives are ever going to do is issue dire warnings and wag their fingers about the possibility that someone else is eventually going to do something about it.

Only last month, Texas Governor Greg Abbott attacked Gab, an alternative social media platform for right-ewwingers who were canceled by Twittet and Facebook.

Gab: Addressing Texas Gov. Greg Abbott’s Statement About Gab

Tonight Texas Governor Greg Abbott, a “Republican,” issued a despicable and false statement smearing Gab as an “anti-semitic platform that quote “has no place in Texas.” This is the same Gov. Abbott who just five days ago said he was “taking a stand against Big Tech censorship.”

Gov. Abbott’s statement will likely not sit well with the nearly 800,000 Texans who have visited Gab.com in the past 24 hours alone. What is even more strange is that the Texas GOP itself is on Gab with a verified account.

Gab is not an “anti-semitic” platform. We protect the political speech of all Americans, regardless of viewpoint, because in this age of cancel culture nobody else will. That means unpopular viewpoints may be found on the site.

The enemies of freedom smear us with every name in the book because they hate America and they hate free speech. It’s a shame to see a GOP politician fall for this trap when conservative values are under sustained attack all over the country.

There is near zero representation for right-wing Americans in government. Even the top leaders in the GOP are all too happy to get Woke and shoot their own side in the back. This makes it clear again why Trump went from joke to president in 18 months and why that's likely to happen again, because things have only gotten worse. Trump solved nothing. This is now the consolidation phase of the game where rigth-wing Americans are turned into Dalits and the left implements a full authoritarian system that puts them in the same position as the CCP in China.

Socionomics Alert: Two Oregon Counties Vote to Join Idaho

KTVB: 2 Oregon counties continue push to join Idaho

Epoch Times (archived): Feeling Disenchanted With Left-wing Politics, Two Oregon Counties Vote to Begin Process of Joining Idaho

KTVB: Movement to form 'Greater Idaho' gains steam as two rural Oregon counties vote to consider joining Idaho

With a Democratic supermajority in the Oregon legislature and increasingly left-leaning urban areas, conservative rural Oregonians have long felt left out of state politics.

Some of these conservative Oregonians are trying to leave the state all together to preserve their values. But they don’t plan to physically move anywhere — it’s Oregon’s borders they want to move to form a “Greater Idaho” (the movement's slogan, not a suggested name).

Move Oregon's Borders aims to adjust the state borders so 22 eastern Oregon counties, and several northern California counties, become a part of Idaho. The movement’s leaders say that Idaho, with a Republican majority, will be a better fit for conservative residents in eastern Oregon and Northern California.

Socionomics Alert: Democrats Wargame Secession of West Coast

Breitbart: Democrats’ ‘War Game’ for Election Includes West Coast Secession, Possible Civil War

In that scenario, California, Oregon, and Washington then threatened to secede from the United States if Mr. Trump took office as planned. The House named Mr. Biden president; the Senate and White House stuck with Mr. Trump. At that point in the scenario, the nation stopped looking to the media for cues, and waited to see what the military would do.

It's Happening: Secession Heats Up Across the West

Secession is a subset of the nationalism wave.

In As Goes California, So Goes the Nation, I discussed how social mood would increase the amount of secessionist sentiment:

Secession is coming. Secession at the state level will slow the push for national secession, but the creation of more states will turn America into even smaller and separate identities that will make the nation as a whole more ungovernable. However, in terms of social mood, these movements have to strike at the right moment and if there is enough state secession, it could suck the energy out of the secession movement as social mood then improves. If these movements fail, there will be an organized national effort that will likely erupt when the U.S. suffers a fundamental economic crisis, perhaps with the U.S. dollar at stake. When such a fundamental crisis erupts, anything goes.

Secession demands will erupt at whatever level of government allows it. Let states break apart into smaller states and they will remain united. Think Catalonia in Spain and Scotland in the UK, both of whom want to stay within the EU. A similar trend is seen in the U.S. where parts of states want to declare independence or merge with a neighbor: Secession fever spikes in five states as conservatives seek to escape blue rule

“Oregon is controlled by the northwest portion of the state, Portland to Eugene. That’s urban land, and their decisions are not really representing rural Oregon,” said Mike McCarter, president of Move Oregon’s Border for a Greater Idaho. “They have their agenda and they’re moving forward with it, and they’re not listening to us.”

The U.S. does not have a good argument against secession. The State Department supports most secession movements around the world. It has intervened militarily to defend secessionists, most controversially in Kosovo. As U.S. power wanes, it will fall victim to its own promotion of self-determination. Both political parties have secessionist tendencies. Democrats have "sanctuary cities" that ignore federal immigration law. Many states ignore drug laws. Republican areas have created "second amendment sanctuaries" in anticipation of future gun control legislation. Any attempt to centralize power and pass "one-size fits all" legislation will spark constitutional crises. Diversity has exacerbated secessionist sentiment. Diversity will explode in the next two generations as whites become a minority in the USA.

Additionally, should the U.S. dollar eventually loses its reserve status, the federal government's ability to use the purse will weaken. Depending on how things shake out, it's possible areas such as Silicon Valley or the oil patch from Texas to North Dakota and Alaska, or the breadbasket, will become the main source of government funding as happened in Canada.

National Post: Nearly 80 per cent of Albertans think the country is in the midst of a unity crisis: poll

One-third of Canadians think Alberta is the greatest threat to national unity, while 50 per cent say it is Quebec. Twenty-three per cent of Canadians expect that Quebec will separate in the next decade, while 19 per cent of Canadians think Alberta will secede in that time.

The most troublesome numbers for Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s government may be that in both Alberta and Saskatchewan 78 per cent believe that Ottawa has “lost touch with average people” from the two provinces.

Alberta could join the U.S. and touch off a crisis there. It could declare independence and break Canada into pieces. It could spark secession movements in natural resource U.S. states who could form a continental power from Alaska to Texas. Many possibilities open up once "the red line" is crossed.

Government becomes more robust as power moves to the local areas and more fragile as power flows to the increasingly unstable center (the root of diversity is div, division, divide). If the government doesn't allow local control or reformation of states, secessionists will escalate their demands to the national level and threaten the larger union.

Finally, it cannot be stressed enough that social mood will determine whether this secession wave becomes an historical oddity like Western Canadian threats to secede in the 1970s, Quebec and Scotland's failures, or whether it completes like Brexit. What is different this time is that these are the good times. Social mood is relatively positive. Prior secession waves peaked with negative social mood, high unemployment, historically low stock prices, high inflation, and positive demographic forces. Western Canada is already threatening secession, but the economy could see a downturn far worse than the 1970s. U.S. states want to break apart, but record high stock prices and a strong dollar has not added the bitter economic fights that come out when spending gets cut. Demographic forces will turn highly negative with aging and increasing diversity. Inflation could soar, stock prices could tumble, unemployment could climb. Consider what would happen to the Canadian currency if Alberta was seriously moving towards independence. It could accelerate the very forces that will push the movement to victory. These secession movements have years and perhaps decades to grow, with underlying societal forces likely to work in their favor.

It seems impossible today, but remember how many people thought Brexit and President Trump were impossible only hours before they happened.
