As a non-American I have seen no end to the evidence on display that every single state in the USA believes itself a country unto itself. The fact that apparently states can just up and make laws that disagree with everyone else, just fucken because, is a good example. Oh, you aren't meant to beat people to death? gently caress you, we (Texas probably) have passed a law saying it's okay.

Oh, alcohol is legal? Not in this state buddy! Oh, even if it is this specific county is gonna say "gently caress you" and say it's illegal now.

Libertarians aren't that weird, they're just honest about the fact that they're doing what every single step in the American governing system is already doing. That is, I do what I want and no one else tells me what to do.

I don’t think most states think of themselves as countries. Probably would be more specific to geographic regions but even that varies significantly between urban and rural areas

Also America has 350 million people. It wouldn’t really make sense to have the same laws everywhere. There are dry counties (can’t buy alcohol) in my state but the entire county has a population of like 10k in a state of 10 million so it’s not going to affect anyone who doesn’t live in that county, which they voted for

Crazy how Ohio has two NFL teams and two MLB teams and they all just loving suck. You'd think one would be good, but no, all just terrible franchises that bring only pain and misery to the state.

You don't watch football if you think the Bengals suck. I mean, gently caress the Bengals, but they certainly don't suck.

They were there for a while, but not really. Corn is Indiana. Ohio used to be a major industrial center and where the aviation industry was born and centered.

Not anymore, though, it's been dying for a long time and this poo poo ain't doing it any favors.

Americans are acting like Ohio is another country and this doesn't apply to them because they're in Mississippi or something when you should just be worried about this thing happening in your country at all.

america is really big ok. i live in a regular size state (va) and it can take 8 hours to go from one end to the other. ok. so caring about something happening on another state is like caring about the moon. its super far.

Ohio is exactly equidistant from Chicago and the big east coast cities

so while new yorkers move inland to buy houses and colonize New Jersey, and New Jersey moves further inland to own land in pennsylvania, and Chicago has monied settlers populating a similar kind of zone of influence within 100 or so miles,

Ohio is right in the middle and too far for those groups to bring money/industry/civilization with them, it becomes kind of a null zone

and then due to:

Not anymore, though, it's been dying for a long time and this poo poo ain't doing it any favors.

the main population left in the state now have a kind of cultural memory of blue collar factory work that doesn’t exist any more and there is a kind of sullen bitterness in the air at times

it doesn’t quite have the level of picturesque natural beauty that say Michigan has if you like trees, water, and weather too cold to be outside half the year

housing costs are really low, like buy a house for cash low, but you’d have to bring your own money to live off of

also now, deadly toxic murder poison
