Regional Independence Movements Within The U.S.

My Take On Regional Independence Movements

I have had a couple of different people ask my thoughts about certain independence movements in the United States (or just regional independence movements as a whole).

These inquiries came coupled with questions surrounding America being split into different nations/internal areas and how it would work.

All of these generally boil down to regional/state independence movements and what a segmented America would or should look like. We’re talking about things like Texit, “Yes California”, Southern secession, Cascadia, and the like.

In general, I am in support of all of these movements, even the leftist ones. For many reasons:

• From a moral standpoint, every people deserve to have their own right to self-determination. God made the nations. We should not destroy them through forced intermixing or conquest.
• From a practical standpoint, the only way we’re going to avoid the inevitable decline of empires is to grant national states their own right to exist. Empires cannot sustain. It is impossible. Nation-states can.
• From a personal standpoint, I want to live with my own people and be among them in a unified, even quasi-centralized manner. I don’t want to be a part of the same nation as the Californians or New Englanders. [Sorry to my readers who live there. I’m sure you all are great. But as a whole, I want you to have your own place and me my own.]

Some people would disagree with allowing the leftists their own lands. But frankly, I do absolutely want the leftists to have their own state where they can go wild. Unlimited diversity, free money, and trannies. They’ll destroy themselves without us and serve as a great warning to the rest of the world. Plus, it would be humorous to watch.

Some people would also disagree with my support of specific-state independent movements like Texit (in favor of a more unified “All-Southern” secession or similar). I will address this more below when I talk about the reality of such movements.

Then there is the conservative talking point I must address: I do not believe in a “Red State/Blue State” secession, which is what most people call for or think of when they imagine a partition. We’re not all ‘Americans’; whatever that word even means anymore. We’re too different as a people.

I certainly think red states should work together, maybe even in a confederation. But in an ideal world, they’d form their own bonds and go out on their own. The South her own, the Mountain states their own, and the Midwest their own. Each region would be happier that way. This is how I think regional breakoffs should work (again: In an ideal world).

A situation like the nations of Europe would be nice, where each independent American region and culture could form in their own lands and be cultivated over time.

Can you imagine what an interesting, unique land this would be after even just a couple of decades? Travelling from Florida to Washington State through those three newly culturally freed regions? What an exceptional experience that could be.

Maybe we could even toss in a less corrupt version of NATO (defensive pact), some trade pacts, and easy border travel between the newly independent nation-states. That’d be helpful.

With this kind of setup, we still get the vastness of America, but we could also preserve the uniqueness of her regions and peoples. And we don’t lose out on any defense or trade problems.

No more empire; Just a collective of happy, mutually supportive independent nations. With a few regions on the outskirts where we could toss all of our leftist refuse.

That is my ideal. What I think we should see, if ever given the chance.

With all of that said, I do need to note that there is near zero percent chance this is going to happen. While I adore the idea of regional independence, I also accept the reality that they won’t be successful.

We’re not going to have a peaceful split or partition. The American Empire has conquered the world; it will not give up its own internal land without a fight.

We require an imperial collapse to move forward at this point. No region is going to peacefully break off.

Once a collapse happens, regionalism will be natural. All empires revert to this condition when the empire crumbles. But it won’t be clean and easy like I have portrayed it here, or how your average regional independence movement person portrays it. Lands and people will be in conflict, with much fighting over who goes where and who gets what. We’ll end up seeing what happens and where the lines are drawn once the dust settles.

Right now, my belief is all we can do is peaceful noncompliance and local enclaving. Break away from the beast however we can, while we can. Under the radar as much as possible. We must wait and strategize for the grand finale of the American Empire. Once that day arrives, then we can make any moves needed.

I once believed in fighting for that partition. But I see it as too late now. A few years ago, sure. Which is when I wrote many articles on this very subject:

• The Only Path Forward For Americans
• For The Anti-Secessionists: Hope You Enjoy Living With These People
• The [Much Needed] Great American Partition

We still need a partition. But it will not come about by our movements, but by force when everything crashes.

So I do not want my readers to be deceived by thinking that the regional movements will be successful in themselves. They won’t. But they are preparing us for that day of collapse. They are preparing us perhaps better than anything else. We cannot discredit that important piece, which is why I still support them.

What do I mean by this? Well, the independence movements are great at helping the different regions think in terms of identity. This is incredibly needed.

These movements are also useful in building new institutions for when that collapse happens. For instance, I personally know a lot of Mountain State organizers that have small towns fully coordinated for if the federal government would ever stop being able to support them. Southern secessionists have also been doing that for decades.

Both of these are important: the regional identity factor and the institutions/systems to take over when the centralized entity fails. Regional independence movements get people in that mindset and make them actually start creating those kind of necessary precursors, which are absolutely beneficial.

So even though I recognize they won’t be successful, just by existing they are still a net positive deserving of our full support.

The regions that have stronger versions of these movements will also fair far better when a crash happens, because they’ll already be in a position to use such a crash to their advantage.

While we won’t see a nice reasonable split while the American regime still exists, the regional movements are building the foundation for what will come about after the current system fails. That is something we should all be able to rally behind.
