It's definitely much whiter It's a little whiter than the north island if you exclude Auckland which being the big city gets most of the immigrants and the traditional precontact Maori strongholds of the far north and east. As to racism, idk, hard to measure, but I'm mostly based around Oamaru which is about one quarter Tongan and I have never heard a bad word said about this fact or any Tongan in particular. Ymmv in Canterbury though. Same poo poo applies in at least one of Napier/Hastings though. Conservatism wise, like I said I don't think it is a particularly useful lense to look at nz politics through, but left and right mostly splits urban and rural.   https://thespinoff.co.nz/politics/04-11-2023/a-better-visual-breakdown-of-the-2023-election-results

Thoguh posted:There is a non zero chance that some Democratic staffer is writing up a pitch about how Texas seceding would be a good thing because it would turn congress and the presidency blue for years to come. And there is a 100% chance that pitch would get serious consideration from the DNC. That's how they treat their constituency already. "Well we can win without these people so dump them" etc etc Makes sense to treat the country the same way.

It's definitely much whiter i mean yes, but it's also considerably more rural than the north island. so i guess it's geographic to an extent but not in a way that i think is analogous to the american north/south divide Peanut President posted:get the gently caress out of here you moron australians this is a thread for america no

The Brits had to threaten the Austrian mine owners and cattle ranchers to confederate, much later than the other Commonwealth states had central organization, and Australia always had a weak federal government subverted by them at every turn, so they’re the prime candidate to fracture into states. I think during covid it was all over the place with no common Australian standards?

Medical care in Cyberpunk is affordable to the point where even the poorest can get limbs and organs for aesthetics. There are literally street gangs that are all furries. Compare and contrast with the good 'ole USA.

super nailgun posted:the rugged individualist self-image chuds up there is completely divorced from reality... but what else is new. I mean, all secessionist thought is completely divorced from reality since the administrative arrangement of the United States is utterly incompatible with any kind of balkanization along state lines. Even states that are 1:1 with federal funds are still sending that tax money to the feds and using federal infrastructure for services in return. The really big states like CA and TX would be in particularly bad places since you'd have a combination of desperate capital flight back to the "proper" US and wild internal divisions among rural/urban divides. It was a pipe dream during the civil war and it's even less feasible now.
