Locke Dunnegan posted:I may have too much faith in the American public, but I don't buy in to the idea that the states would turn on each other if they were independent. Not everyone's a power hungry politician. If my home state was attempting to annex Arkansas I sincerely doubt there would be a majority supporting it. The hypothetical states wouldn't literally send troops at each other like a game of Risk. There are other forms of domination and annexation. Lets take a hypothetical Free New York. Millions of people in neighboring New Jersey and Connecticut depend entitely on NYC for their livelihood, whether they commute to the city for work, deliver their products to stores in the city, etc. Now New York has leverage on those other states, and can do things like put in tariffs, hike the toll fees, in order to get those states to play nice with any interstate agreements that they make. This leads to state policies dominated by the neighbor state, and eventual annexation

down with slavery posted:who the gently caress cares, the whole point is to remove the influence the shittier parts of the US have. I don't care if Alabama goes to hell, if you aren't actively planning to escape a region like that you're just a moron So all the underpowered minorities in the bigot states should basically be left behind?
