Never mind the obvious permaban–and in certain countries, court summons–one would receive for replacing “Rural white Americans” with “black Americans” or “illegal immigrants” and then tweaking a few of the particulars in the post above. This even though such a message, while equally cruel and mean-spirited, would be more veracious.
Never mind that one reason for this is that red states are 26% blacker than blue states are.
Never mind that, as Andrew Gelman showed in Red State, Blue State, Rich State, Poor State, while across the country Republicans tend to be wealthier than Democrats, the trend is more pronounced in red states than in blue states. In blue states there isn’t much difference in class and status between Democrat and Republican voters. In red states, however, Republicans tend to be of higher status and social class than Democrats. In other words, a lot of the red state subsidies are being consumed by the blue denizens of those states.
Never mind that this is largely due to military expenditures and handouts to agrobusiness, benefits not enjoyed by most rural whites.
Never mind all that. If we accept Atkins’ perceived problem as a legitimate one, isn’t the obvious solution political separation? It’s immoral to force the blue archipelago to subsidize hidebound Trumpkins in flyover country, so let’s stop doing it.
Let blue conurbations have abortion on demand, highly progressive personal income taxation, open borders, generous welfare benefits, affirmative action, and the like. Let them never have to suffer another Brett Kavanaugh on the high court or a Donald Trump in the executive. No more family separation and children in cages. There will now be a direct, legally uninhibited path to sanctuary in the sovereign nation of California.
How could Atkins possibly object to this? Imagine, Mr. Atkins, if the 2020 Democrat nomination process selected the president instead of just a contender for the position. Your side is getting a bum deal as it stands, and there are irreconcilable differences in this marriage, anyway. Let’s end it.
The breakup is something we can negotiate. Worried racist Trumpkins will abuse minorities in the places left behind? Surely both–or all, depending on how we’re going to split this up–parties will be able to agree to a grace period prior to separate sovereignties where people so inclined to do so will be able to freely move to a polity of their liking.
If rustic red staters refuse to realize that diversity is their strength–to the extent that they have any strength at all–then provide big stipends for minorities to relocate to new countries more progressive than the United States as currently constituted could ever hope to be. Fund it by diverting the money currently being transferred from blue states to white proles riding around Walmart on their motorized scooters. That is welfare spending cosmopolitans will actually be able to feel good about.
And after dissolution is complete, there is no reason freedom of movement between Cascadia and Greater Montana need be any more difficult or cumbersome than movement between the US and Canada is today.
What about potential military conquest of one newly formed country by another? Nuclear-armed states do not get invaded, and there are plenty of American nukes to go around. Nukeless Canada is ripe for the taking now but no one considers American military aggression against it’s northern neighbor a threat. Rightly so, because it isn’t one. And the Greater Plains won’t threaten The Democratic States of California, either.
It is time to end the hate. It’s time to separate.
It’s unfortunate that in metropolitan areas the blue and red pieces of land are intertwined very closely at the county level, and it’s more like differences in census tracts in lots of places. I’m sure this would go even for parts of New Jersey and Massachusetts, the bluest of the blue.
I’d be willing to move, if a nice boundary could be drawn up. The ctrl-left ought to be glad, as any “reds” moving out are often moving from very high property-value locations. Some odd-ass lefty from rural Montana can buy that 1/5 acre lot in New Jersey and take over the $1,500 monthly property tax bill to help pay for that lefty stuff he LUVS, LUVS, LUVS.
That's mighty nice of you. So compared to repatriation, which would require the relocation of the mostly useless contingent of the US population, the more sensible solution is to require millions of normies (of either political persuasion; there are left leaning normies) to pack up, uproot their families, and move from their hometowns, some of which may been there for generations.

It takes a 2nd glance, A.E. to get the rhythm of it, once you understand “separate” is a verb, not an adjective there.

Must be some internal joke going on around this site. Owner, mods, and a group of authors.
This author character, who gets a mind block when words as “violence” or, God forbids, “shooting”

Anyone, any idea what that internal joke could be?
As for secession itself, well…….I guess we’ll see the start of some serious talk in…say….3 years from now. Not on the (public) Internet, of course.
Prior to this, though, you’d have to decide which are to be the red polities and which the blue. That would not be impossibly difficult, but it could get pretty damn ugly – particularly if the division is to include race as a criterion.
Still, it’s a line of thought worth pursuing. One of the great failings of democracy is that it forces us to live with people whose values differ tremendously from our own. To overcome this, we endlessly preach tolerance. But since it’s much easier to tolerate people different to yourself if you never have to interact with them, why not simply allow us all to go our own way and live around and be ruled by those like ourselves instead of imposing our values on those who are not constitutionally suited to them?
Are you being serious with this?
You could also add that red states as far as I know have more retirees per capita than blue states.
That’s actually not a bad rallying cry. It has this idea of being against hate, but just being realistic about the direction things are headed and wanting to remedy it before things get too horrible.
Someone can write a very well reasoned and mature case for it. Here, I’ll get it started:
“When in the Course of human events it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature’s God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation…”
And you can take it from there…
Peace.
This in no way prevents interaction across those lines. People of differing backgrounds can be friends, but only on an individual basis. Even Methodists and Baptists. Sometimes.
I noted that this dude Atkins lives in Santa Barbara. Santa Barbara. If ever a city was invented as a gated, whiteopia, implicitly designed to prevent blacks and browns from establishing a foothold, it is Santa Barbara.
Per the census, Santa Barbara is only 52% white and 38% hispanic.
White nationalists and "alt right" men need to stop pretending that blue states are homogenous hypocrite states. The average overeducated urban liberal SWPL lives near plenty of colored people. It's just that they are different colored people compared to red state ones.
In red states, colored people are mostly black and native american. In blue states colored people are mostly hispanic and asian.
The racial makeup of Santa Barbara was 66,411 (75.1%) White, 1,420 (1.6%) African American, 892 (1.0%) Native American, 3,062 (3.5%) Asian (1.0% Chinese, 0.6% Filipino, 0.5% Japanese, 0.4% Korean, 0.4% Indian, 0.2% Vietnamese, 0.4% other), 116 (0.1%) Pacific Islander, 13,032 (14.7%) from other races, and 3,477 (3.9%) from two or more races. Hispanics or Latinos of any race were 33,591 persons (38.0%). Non-Hispanic Whites were 45,852 persons (52.2%).
The only really drastically under-represented group appears to be AAs.
Critters is like David Adkins are way too smart to go for separation, in their heart they know about the lack of capabilities in the diverse hoards they will be left behind the enemy lines with, they don’t want them to be their airline pilots, nuclear plant operators, and oil rig operators.
Separation is going to be have to be demanded by red state whites, honestly I believe this time there’s gonna be no pushback from the blue state people, they just don’t have the guts or the energy to pick a fight.
Wow, what a choice; either an extreme Right wing country or an extreme Left wing.
No thanks. I’m planning on moving out altogether from USA, et al.
The idea of Constitution, liberty for all, freedom, and all the “rights”….were really nice while they lasted. Unfortunately, it worked best for the nation when White males dominated and minorities and women were “kept in their place”. So, the theory goes, anyways.
The world is constantly changing. Did you really think the party was going to keep on going for one group of people…forever? How did it work for that spotted owl?

It might be easier to build walls around all the major conurbations and let them starve.
Where Whites build, orcs soon follow.
If Redlandia isn’t prepared to build massive border walls and hand out the death penalty like candy at Halloween for ferals, it won’t work.
The trouble is there are only two parties and they have a gentleman’s agreement to refuse to compete for or represent white voters. Ergo, not only are we not overrepresented, we’re not represented at all.
“Never mind all that. If we accept Atkins’ perceived problem as a legitimate one, isn’t the obvious solution political separation? . . . How could Atkins possibly object to this?”
He’ll object to it because the people on the Left believe they can have it all. In a few decades, demographic trends will insure that a Republican presidential candidate cannot win a national election (at least not by espousing the values they do today). Why let the Red States go when you can simply crush them politically and keep the country intact? Unfortunately, if a political separation is to happen, there will be blood.
As things are today, there are not nearly enough people in America willing to consider secession. Things here will have to get much worse before secession becomes more than a fringe idea.
Catch: longer it takes to get there, less chance of success.
Leftists want collectives where everything is under their control. The thought of an independent entity outside their control frightens them, even if it means getting rid of people they don’t like.
This is why they are against separatism in general, and why they favor supernational organizations where the group can be used to collectively punish any dissenters. It’s basically the mentality of middle aged women.

You know, I get a lot of crap for suggesting repatriation of immigrants and negros here, but after reading the above, I am baffled as to how anyone can see it as a more logical, sensible, or realistic possibility.
Before I can expand on my opinion of this, first I must ask AE specifically: Who exactly gets what? Meaning, which part of the US goes to blue states (BS) and which part goes to red states (RS)?
One thing I can say is this: Even if a clean separation was possible, how long before the RS begin to be invaded by BSers looking to escape their new banana republic or merely plunder the wealth of the red states? I am supposed to believe that after a separation, RSers will suddenly find the will to refuse entry from foreign invaders, as well as forcibly remove aliens who have managed to enter illegally? How long before National RS Review is making the conservative case for more immigration?
As much as we like to deride the legal/illegal immigrant distinction, that too is significantly influenced by our conceptions of fairness. It is conceivable to me that a majority of Americans support the repatriation of illegal aliens in the future just as they have in the past.
As for who gets what, I don't know, there will have to be negotiations. At first approximation, very little will change, especially if the new countries settle along existing state boundaries. Federal withholding goes away, state withholding goes up, government services shift around--which for most reading here means nothing--and otherwise things pretty much stay the same.Replies: @Mr. Rational, @MikeatMikedotMike, @L Woods, @iffen

Call it divorce. Maybe we can’t all just get along. Most of us are already living separate lives. Segregation along racial, class and, indeed, sexual lines is already the living condition throughout the country. Except for government integration mandates, the separation would be even more extreme.
This in no way prevents interaction across those lines. People of differing backgrounds can be friends, but only on an individual basis. Even Methodists and Baptists. Sometimes.
Instead of blue states subsidizing red states, it is really productive people subsidizing non productive people. Overall, government wealth transfers don’t make the country better off. If the government takes a dollar from one person and gives it to another, then it is usually less than a zero sum game. Usually there is a politician who got elected by advocating the transfer, a government bureaucracy to collect the money, and another government bureaucracy to pass it out. The person who receives the money may only get 70 or 80 cents of the dollar collected at the other end. The politicians, the bureaucrats, and the recipients are all engaging in nonproductive activities that slowly impoverish the country. That’s who we need to separate ourselves from.
Not true at all.

I’m all for it. Let the coastal counties along the Pacific rim become their own country ( We get to keep the name USA, and our flag, since we love it and they dont) the interior counties in CA, OR, and WA will mostly want to come back to us, they don’t like their coastal elites either.
They get everything from San Clemente and North, we get San Diego and the military bases. (They hate the military anyway) In fact, we get pretty much all the military, and we promise to protect them like we protect Europe, unless they piss us off.
Oh, and we’re gonna build a big beautiful wall through the CA desert so the leftist retards will quit moving to Texas.
The rest of the coasts can go to the commies, socialists, progressives.

Audacious, seems to me a high roller who wants to make a splash would be eager to aggregate those high political questions in a think tank operating under his or her name.

Seems to me, much of Peter’s assumptions and views on the world are basically influenced heavily by his experiences in the Yugoslav civil war, so you can take them for what they are worth. That experience may provide insight into our situation or be completely irrelevant.
Mennonites kill??!!
I certainly hope not – as I’ve mentioned before, I’m for (and would totally vote for) a secession along White nationalist lines ONLY if they promise to ban Islam within their borders.
Now if we are talking Red vs Blue – not sure.
Well, the new entity would certainly be much more solid on preventing immigration than the current setup due to the opinions of the people in that demographic versus overall. Yeah some people would make a case for immigration, so what? Maybe some people will make a case you should be legally allowed to beat your dog to death. Just ignore them.

That said, his logic for rejecting it is wanting. Sure, white working- and middle-class flight from California has created a single party in the state, but that's not necessarily scaleable to the entire country. Sans immigration, it's definitely not.
IT IS TIME TO SEPARATE, BUT MANY GOPHERS IN THE SOUTH ARE UNWILLING TO ACCEPT THE DEMOGRAPHIC FUTURE
California is gone. New Mexico has been long gone.
Florida is on its way out and so too are Arizona and Georgia.
Illinois and New York are gone, not because the states are blue, but because of two big cities in each of those states respectively, Chicago and New York City, dominate the votes in those states.
The fix of course, is ceding these states to the Democratic Republic of America: California (except the far northern part), Nevada (the southern part south of Tahoe), Arizona, New Mexico, Texas (yes Texas, folks), Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, Florida, Georgia, and the eastern seaboard from Charleston, South Carolina to New York City. Oh and give them Puerto Rico and Hawai’i too.
The rest must remain in the hands of the USA and a people who want to restore the Republic, complete with negative-rights jurisprudence only, i.e., no welfare and no subsidy to anyone, ever.
The Republic must keep Oregon and Washington because successful countries must have warm water, deep-water ports. On the North American continent, that means ports for the Pacific and ports for the Atlantic.
The chief problem remains: The great divide over the USA is one over jurisprudence: positive-rights social democracy of socialists, social democrats versus negative-rights restoration of those favoring republicanism.

A lot of California’s conservative contingent completely left the state and went to other states. I have a cousin there who would like to leave but she is an auditor for the state government and is near retirement. She hates it there. All the new immigrants cause road congestion and it takes hours to drive anywhere. There’s no money to build new transportation infrastructure. The city sidewalks are filled with homeless people shooting up drugs and her grandkids have to see that when she takes them anywhere. Most of the remaining whites there either work for the government or are extremely wealthy and can insulate themselves from all the dysfunction. This is the new utopia the left has in store for the rest of the country?
Irony: being unaware what the audience sees.
Your cousin is "conservative" but does make-work for lawgivers, in essence, overpaid welfare.
If the US split into Redstan and Bluestan, Redstan would be like the US of the much-maligned 1950s – overwhelmingly White and Christian. Bluestan would be populated by members of every race, ethnicity, religion, gender and gender orientation on Earth and they would tear each other apart.
The Democratic Party consists of “warring tribes in the common pursuit of plunder.” They hate each other, but are united by a hatred of Whites. Different factions would fight for dominance. Eventually what might happen is that Bluestan will further split into two or more countries – I can see a Hispanic southwest, possibly dominated by White Hispanics (typical of Latin America) and a Black country.
Liberal Whites might eventually refugee to Redstan – should they be allowed to settle and, if so, under what terms? What about Asians, Indians and Moslems – do they get their own turf? Of course, what will be the fate of the Jews?

Contempt is the luxury of the powerful and hate is the reaction of the powerless.
Whites are powerless because they are individualistic which, in a time of “peace” makes each an easy target by groups that are more collectivist. However that individualism evinces individual integrity which, under a formal declaration of a State of War, unites them with equal integrity. This makes whites a potentially invincible military force against groups that are merey instinctively cohesive. What the powerful fear most is that the powerless individual, motivated by hate of the contempt in which he is held by the powerful, will unite with other such individuals of integrity, Declare War formally, and bring True Social Justice.
In the present instance, what these “hateful, ungrateful, rural white Americans” can and, if things do not change, most certainly will do, is blow the airlocks on the space stations known as urban counties.
Still, it's a line of thought worth pursuing. One of the great failings of democracy is that it forces us to live with people whose values differ tremendously from our own. To overcome this, we endlessly preach tolerance.

Ironically, this is how the FEDERALIST United States was designed. We all go our own way and only share governmental roles that can’t be devolved to the local polities: defense, trade, monetary policy, disputes between states. Everything else is a local issue.
But most Americans in their quest to rule over their neighbors (and live like princes in DC by buying votes) have pretty much forgotten that was ever part of the plan.

The rest of us could occupy the spaces between the cities. This would require a treaty spelling out which counties would be red and which blue.

Yes.
About a month before the late, great Lawrence Auster left us, one of the regular commenters redrafted a proposal which outlined a well-thought out program detailing just how a serious separation could be undertaken. While it isn’t perfect (what is?) the proposal has much merit.
The essay is quite long, but (in my opinion) well worth the read. It begins thusly,
It's just that they do not believe they will have to live with the consequences of their policy preferences. That's for other people to deal with.
1) Any moral appeal to whites must be founded on their heritable individualism, and without a moral appeal, it cannot form a credible basis for a Declaration of Independence or, in the event, Declaration of War that will unite whites.
2) The complexity of their proposals -- as simple as they are in comparison to the miasma of "political discourse" -- provides too great an "argument surface" (the political/legal counterpart to the cyber security "attack surface").
Sortocracy provides a framework within which their proposals can be realized. Based on individuals choosing to assortatively migrate AND allocate territorial value by those individual choices, it more effectively guts the source of violence.
That this leaves in place the womb-war that is civilization is the primary complaint -- and it is immediately obvious. However, what is not so obvious is that every other proposal also leaves this womb-war in place -- its just that there are so many other problems and so much complexity with other proposals that people never get around to realizing that civilization IS a womb-war -- or it is an eat-or-be-eaten level of evolution.
You don't like it? You don't like civilization.

Where does a half-Chinese, quarter-white, quarter-latino get “repatriated” to genius?
And if you manage to come up with a logically coherent scheme, why assume that is any simpler than deciding upon red/blue division?
Or any more morally plausible than a red/blue division?
What it comes down to is an aversion many people have to surrendering an inch of territory. That’s all it is. It doesn’t matter how impressive the promised benefits are, if it requires giving up land, then no way, no how.
Well, as Mao Zedong reportedly said: “Save people, sacrifice land – land can be retaken. Sacrifice people, save land – soon lose people and land.”
Deciding is the easy part. Bringing it to reality is the real issue. You and AE haven't even begun to consider the logistical challenge of separation. Compared to that, repatriation is a much simpler concept.

It's not just an aversion to surrendering territory, but also to surrendering the US state, which is a continental, imperial state, and its institutions.

And what about those brought to the U.S. as slaves? Which African country are you going to repatriate them to?
I'd be willing to move, if a nice boundary could be drawn up. The ctrl-left ought to be glad, as any "reds" moving out are often moving from very high property-value locations.

“I’d be willing to move, if a nice boundary could be drawn up.”
That’s mighty nice of you. So compared to repatriation, which would require the relocation of the mostly useless contingent of the US population, the more sensible solution is to require millions of normies (of either political persuasion; there are left leaning normies) to pack up, uproot their families, and move from their hometowns, some of which may been there for generations.
Makes perfect sense.
For most Whites the very idea is simply unthinkable.
We'll see in....say.....7 years from now.
It's funny actually. USA, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, and South Africa were created, precisely, that way. By White people willing to "uproot".
Or South American states too, by White immigration from Portugal, Spain, and Italy.
By people willing to "uproot their families, and move from their hometowns, some of which may been there for generations".
That "move from their hometowns" is exactly what the immigrants are doing in this "replacement/demographics" change.

No fear. The "other" side will make enough of Whites hard enough, in time.

Put out a sober 300 pp. study drawn up by young lawyers and policy people showing with enough detail how separation or reparations or what-not offer strong benefits to people that are simply not going to be talked about under our current debate-deoxygenated system.

Wiki on the demographics of Santa Barbara in 2010:
The racial makeup of Santa Barbara was 66,411 (75.1%) White, 1,420 (1.6%) African American, 892 (1.0%) Native American, 3,062 (3.5%) Asian (1.0% Chinese, 0.6% Filipino, 0.5% Japanese, 0.4% Korean, 0.4% Indian, 0.2% Vietnamese, 0.4% other), 116 (0.1%) Pacific Islander, 13,032 (14.7%) from other races, and 3,477 (3.9%) from two or more races. Hispanics or Latinos of any race were 33,591 persons (38.0%). Non-Hispanic Whites were 45,852 persons (52.2%).
The only really drastically under-represented group appears to be AAs.
Santa Barbara is almost 40% Hispanic.
Physically speaking, we can not separate. We can not remove our respective sections from each other nor build an impassable wall between them. A husband and wife may be divorced and go out of the presence and beyond the reach of each other, but the different parts of our country can not do this. They can not but remain face to face, and intercourse, either amicable or hostile, must continue between them. Is it possible, then, to make that intercourse more advantageous or more satisfactory after separation than before? Can aliens make treaties easier than friends can make laws? Can treaties be more faithfully enforced between aliens than laws can among friends? Suppose you go to war, you can not fight always; and when, after much loss on both sides and no gain on either, you cease fighting, the identical old questions, as to terms of intercourse, are again upon you.

There’s a small idealistic minority with libertarian-ish views that sincerely believes in secession and allocating separate territories peaceably. But most don’t, even those who claim to support secession. Most regard it as a strategic retreat that’s necessary in the short term, with a long term expectation of reconquest. That’s why secession rarely happens without violent conflict.
It’s not just an aversion to surrendering territory, but also to surrendering the US state, which is a continental, imperial state, and its institutions. The US state and its institutions still have enormous power and prestige, and the various factions right and left want to obtain this power, which will disappear with the territorial breakup of the US.
Okay. Where was the decision made that it was going to be along strickly racial lines? AE needs to weigh in with his ideas.

The Democratic coalition is a great deal more United than the right. I’m increasingly beginning to think there is no such thing as a dissident right. Many are still stuck in the old politics of implicit whiteness that opposed the welfare state. That is now totally irrelevant as mass automation looms. Then there are the woman-haters, the boomer-bashers, the anti-Christians. All White people ever do is find reasons to hate each other.
The mainstream right is only united on two issues - they love tax cuts and they love Israel. .
As an actual political movement it doesn't exist. It's just a handful of keyboard warriors. On the whole they do more harm than good to the causes they claim to espouse.
If there ever is a viable dissident movement it will come from the Left because they know how to organise. Because they don't think in racial terms. There is no such thing as "white people."
The white middle class hates the white working class more than it hates non-whites. The white working class hates the white middle class more than it hates non-whites. Urban and rural whites hate each other more than they hate non-whites. White homosexuals hate white heterosexuals more than they hate non-whites.
Unfortunately today's Republicans do favor the welfare status quo and only oppose expansion. The irony is they support welfare for those who don't vote for them (single mothers, often non-white) while opposing any type of welfare that could benefit some of their voting base.
For most Whites the very idea is simply unthinkable.

Well, it’s a pipe dream anyway, Mike, but the point would be that if you had truly separate areas, then it would be worth it to me. In other words, if I were in a small island of red in a big blue splotch, it may be worth it to pack it up. The Free State project was something sort of like this, but there were nowhere near the numbers. There would have had to be 20 – 50 times as many people, meaning 100,000 to 250,000 (from the 5,000 number that I recall).
No, people don’t like to be uprooted, but I don’t have as old a ball of roots where I live as some do. As I wrote, the people who are at odds are intertwined at the country or census tract level.

That’s why that war could rightly be called “The War between the States”, rather than “The Civil War”.
I suppose if we are going to engage in hypothetical, I like the ones where the useless are removed completely and the heritage stock gets to stay put.
Many long years ago, a friendly Brit asked if the tag is a point of contention, why not just "Go European" and call it the "War of 1861"?

Last year, New York Magazine did a feature length article on the idea of peaceful secession, one that could hardly be described as hostile. This isn’t some fringe neo-confederate plot–it’s an idea that will continue to make inroads into American intellectual life.
Violent insurgency against the government, on the other hand? Probably not even going to crack the 1% mark. It’ll poll worse than Eric Swalwell.

But since it's much easier to tolerate people different to yourself if you never have to interact with them, why not simply allow us all to go our own way and live around and be ruled by those like ourselves instead of imposing our values on those who are not constitutionally suited to them?Replies: @JR.Ewing.78, @Audacious Epigone

Someone can write a very well reasoned and mature case for it. Here, I’ll get it started:
“When in the Course of human events it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation...”
And you can take it from there...

Why do something so abhorrent?
I say this only in half-jest, but do you think Pol Pot set out to slaughter a couple million people? No, he had a plan, and when a sizeable number of the population objected to it, there was no viable alternative to the slaughter.
The sustainable solution for our problem children, most of whom reside in the conurbations is not more UN Sustainability Agenda concentration of the populace in conurbations, rather it is to march them into the countryside and make them feed themselves and live sustainable lives where they deal with their own externalities, like their waste (human and otherwise).
IOW, the Pol Pot dilemma: Many will not go peacefully and would need to be slaughtered. Would it not be more humane to all involved to keep them out of sight and let nature take its course? You need the walls because, repeatedly throughout history, the city folks wander out to the countryside to plunder the overwhelmed and outnumbered farmers.
I don't say the following in jest: The so-called Sustainability Agenda and similar moves to put the mass of people in conurbations for better "sustainability " are canards; in fact, it positions the mass of humanity perfectly for the mass kill-off some folks have been hinting at when they say the ideal human population of Earth is only half a billion. I'd rather take my chances in the countryside.

While we see Democrat domination as inevitable, and many of them claim to as well, it’s not so clear cut. It’s certainly less guaranteed in the short run than many people realize. If Republicans were able to get 67% of the white vote–2 in 3 voters–they’d dominate politics at the national level through the 2030s. Two decades is a long time for blue checkmarks to wait.

Here in California, I am already separated, in the family/friends sense, having lost their affection and respect, all for the sins of being a moderate Republican, and sane. A bad person. National partition will never happen. The entire country will become a blend of Brazil, Venezuela, S. Africa, and Idiocracy. Daily life for proficient, conscientious people will become frustrating, humiliating, crumbling, and defensive. The only relief will consist of being, as a poet wrote, continually drunk, on wine, poetry, or virtue. Signing off from “Good enough — just get it basically okay” California.

Before I can expand on my opinion of this, first I must ask AE specifically: Who exactly gets what? Meaning, which part of the US goes to blue states (BS) and which part goes to red states (RS)?
One thing I can say is this: Even if a clean separation was possible, how long before the RS begin to be invaded by BSers looking to escape their new banana republic or merely plunder the wealth of the red states? I am supposed to believe that after a separation, RSers will suddenly find the will to refuse entry from foreign invaders, as well as forcibly remove aliens who have managed to enter illegally? How long before National RS Review is making the conservative case for more immigration?Replies: @silviosilver, @Audacious Epigone
WEIRDOs put a lot of moral emphasis on fairness. Forcibly repatriating people whose ancestors have been here for centuries is an enormous violation of that moral foundation so most whites are never going to support it.
As much as we like to deride the legal/illegal immigrant distinction, that too is significantly influenced by our conceptions of fairness. It is conceivable to me that a majority of Americans support the repatriation of illegal aliens in the future just as they have in the past.
As for who gets what, I don’t know, there will have to be negotiations. At first approximation, very little will change, especially if the new countries settle along existing state boundaries. Federal withholding goes away, state withholding goes up, government services shift around–which for most reading here means nothing–and otherwise things pretty much stay the same.
I don't know what a WEIRDO is. Fairness is secondary consideration to survival.
"Forcibly repatriating people whose ancestors have been here for centuries is an enormous violation of that moral foundation so most whites are never going to support it"
How is it any less a "violation of moral foundation" to forcibly require people whose ancestors have been here for centuries to relocate based on their political views? Separation might seem like a more gentle term than repatriation, but it's applicably no different.
More specifically, you are referring to blacks. Either plan requires a large portion of them to relocate. It has been established that blacks and whites cannot peacefully integrate en mass. Why does "separate nations" require the same continent? If blacks remain on the continent, they will require subsidy to survive, regardless of anything else.
"As much as we like to deride the legal/illegal immigrant distinction, that too is significantly influenced by our conceptions of fairness. It is conceivable to me that a majority of Americans support the repatriation of illegal aliens in the future just as they have in the past."
If you are a believer in the idea of demographics is destiny, then you would have to be willing to go further than that. "Legal" immigration is already permanently changing the fabric of the nation. You have to decide if you want what America was meant to be, or what it's about to be. Your high minded morals and sense of fairness are going to create quite a burden for your descendants and mine. Not so moral or fair to them in my eyes when it's put that way.
"As for who gets what, I don’t know, there will have to be negotiations. At first approximation, very little will change, especially if the new countries settle along existing state boundaries.

If the Scottish independence referendum succeeded–and it will be tried again–does anyone really think there’d be a violent response to keep political independence from Great Britain from happening?
So, for instance, you cited the situation in Scotland seceding which will likely be a political process just like it was ultimately a political process in uniting it with the rest of the UK a few centuries ago.
Now if the island of Bali wanted to secede from Indonesia, you could expect a few divisions of grim-looking Kopassus to arrive in a couple of days, dissidents to start disappearing, and bodies start piling up very quickly. Different context, different history.

The Democratic Party consists of "warring tribes in the common pursuit of plunder." They hate each other, but are united by a hatred of Whites. Different factions would fight for dominance. Eventually what might happen is that Bluestan will further split into two or more countries - I can see a Hispanic southwest, possibly dominated by White Hispanics (typical of Latin America) and a Black country.
Liberal Whites might eventually refugee to Redstan - should they be allowed to settle and, if so, under what terms? What about Asians, Indians and Moslems - do they get their own turf? Of course, what will be the fate of the Jews?Replies: @Rosie, @John Gritt, @John Gritt, @Audacious Epigone
There are aspects of the Democrat coalition that “plunder” but there are many productive members of the coalition as well. Most of the modern capital structure, in fact, if we want to face reality head on.
There will be demographic differences between the new countries but nothing like ethnostates. The fraction of people of any race who want that–especially explicitly–is quite small.
White flight from regions is happening - I know two people here in NJ who plan to move to Idaho. Blacks are returning to the South. Even without a breakup of the US, there will be reshuffling of the US population with different groups in different regions.
Just on homosexuality.
Whites are powerless because they are individualistic which, in a time of "peace" makes each an easy target by groups that are more collectivist. However that individualism evinces individual integrity which, under a formal declaration of a State of War, unites them with equal integrity. This makes whites a potentially invincible military force against groups that are merey instinctively cohesive. What the powerful fear most is that the powerless individual, motivated by hate of the contempt in which he is held by the powerful, will unite with other such individuals of integrity, Declare War formally, and bring True Social Justice.

Shit happens. Things change. It's called history. This is why we say "It came to pass".
Auster, Doolittle, Robertson, etc. aren’t going to be able to organize sufficient numbers of whites for two reasons:
1) Any moral appeal to whites must be founded on their heritable individualism, and without a moral appeal, it cannot form a credible basis for a Declaration of Independence or, in the event, Declaration of War that will unite whites.
2) The complexity of their proposals — as simple as they are in comparison to the miasma of “political discourse” — provides too great an “argument surface” (the political/legal counterpart to the cyber security “attack surface”).
Sortocracy provides a framework within which their proposals can be realized. Based on individuals choosing to assortatively migrate AND allocate territorial value by those individual choices, it more effectively guts the source of violence.
That this leaves in place the womb-war that is civilization is the primary complaint — and it is immediately obvious. However, what is not so obvious is that every other proposal also leaves this womb-war in place — its just that there are so many other problems and so much complexity with other proposals that people never get around to realizing that civilization IS a womb-war — or it is an eat-or-be-eaten level of evolution.
You don’t like it? You don’t like civilization.
And the other half of the WN contingent are gay, as they have openly admitted.
40% (and rising) of White Nationalists openly say that they would rather have sex with a white man than a black woman, since race loyalty trumps sexual orientation, and producing no baby is better than producing a mulatto baby.
So that is where a lot of them are coming from.

It's funny actually. USA, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, and South Africa were created, precisely, that way. By White people willing to "uproot".
Or South American states too, by White immigration from Portugal, Spain, and Italy.
By people willing to "uproot their families, and move from their hometowns, some of which may been there for generations".
That "move from their hometowns" is exactly what the immigrants are doing in this "replacement/demographics" change.

No seriously, you're definitely a Hispanic. The Muslims that go to the US are infinitely better than the Hispanics, because they aren't such intellectual laggards, and because they don't draw up the costs and the burden of the welfare leeching habits of the Hispanics. Blacks are obviously not included. Anyways, the numbers and crime rates speak for themselves. Unless they are black, muzzies in the US don't really do anything. Hispanics have a negative tax impact, high welfare usage rate, and we can already see California and Dallas. But no seriously, nice try Hispanic.

We can fix all of this with one wierd trick: democracy.
The overwhelming majority of White voters (men and women alike) have always opposed displacement-level mass immigration, but elite machinations subvert the popular will. We need a strongman.
Democracy cannot work because it is inherently corrupt. It is political prostitution - the buying and selling of political favours. Democracy will always become corrupt. Democracy cannot deal with internal crises.
No, people don't like to be uprooted, but I don't have as old a ball of roots where I live as some do. As I wrote, the people who are at odds are intertwined at the country or census tract level. It's not like the situation in 1860 (even, though, granted, there was some brother-against-brother action and places like Kansas).

Robots are about to become cheaper than crimmigrants. We already have automated lawnmowers. Shortly there won’t be much in the way of gardening labor required either.
The ultra-rich might enjoy an immigration cutoff which forces the merely-rich to have robot servants and reveal themselves as not being able to afford human labor.
Robots won't do that.
As an EU member Britain gets an unlimited supply of cheap labour from impoverished eastern European EU member states like Poland. After Brexit that supply of cheap labour will be cut off. So immediately there will be whining from the corporate sector that they must have cheap labour. And where will it come from? From the former British Empire. From places like Nigeria.
There will be horror stories in the media about the critical shortages of workers.
And with an unprincipled clown like Boris Johnson as PM the immigration floodgates will be opened wide.
But I thought that Brexit was going to destroy the corporate sector. :)
Have you heard the chants of “BUILD THE WALL” at the Trump rallies?
But a wall is only as good as the will to keep people on the other side of it. Hanging invaders from it, or putting their heads on spikes at the top, is a damn good way to show that you mean it. It wouldn’t take too many before they stopped coming.
Or maybe what you need is to have a moratorium on democracy? In times of crisis the Romans would appoint a dictator with a time-limited term of office. A dictator might be the only way to drain the swamp.

I don’t know what a WEIRDO is. Fairness is secondary consideration to survival.
“Forcibly repatriating people whose ancestors have been here for centuries is an enormous violation of that moral foundation so most whites are never going to support it”
How is it any less a “violation of moral foundation” to forcibly require people whose ancestors have been here for centuries to relocate based on their political views? Separation might seem like a more gentle term than repatriation, but it’s applicably no different.
More specifically, you are referring to blacks. Either plan requires a large portion of them to relocate. It has been established that blacks and whites cannot peacefully integrate en mass. Why does “separate nations” require the same continent? If blacks remain on the continent, they will require subsidy to survive, regardless of anything else.
“As much as we like to deride the legal/illegal immigrant distinction, that too is significantly influenced by our conceptions of fairness. It is conceivable to me that a majority of Americans support the repatriation of illegal aliens in the future just as they have in the past.”
If you are a believer in the idea of demographics is destiny, then you would have to be willing to go further than that. “Legal” immigration is already permanently changing the fabric of the nation. You have to decide if you want what America was meant to be, or what it’s about to be. Your high minded morals and sense of fairness are going to create quite a burden for your descendants and mine. Not so moral or fair to them in my eyes when it’s put that way.

I guess you live in District 13.
Dividing the US into Red and Blue nations seems so complicated and controversial that the idea will probably never get out of the realm of fantasy. A much simpler (and therefore doable) idea is for the US to devolve from a nation-state to an EU-style transnational organization, with the 50 states (or possibly more at the time of dissolution) becoming independent nations.
Here’s a basic outline of the plan: https://www.unz.com/freed/civil-insurrection/#comment-2267711
But in the meantime we could propose dividing or redrawing various state borders. AE mentions Cascadia and Greater Montana as possible future nations, which is an excellent idea. Here are some others: https://www.unz.com/anepigone/saving-the-union/#comment-3059219
Unfortunately any plans for dissolution will inevitably butt up against the most powerful force in the universe: inertia. It will be extremely difficult to get the secession ball rolling, and I don’t think the impetus will come from within the US, but from Canada. And not from Quebec either, but from Alberta, the disgruntled paymaster of the federation.
And this could happen a lot quicker than almost anyone realizes, particularly if Trudeau is reelected this October. Already support for secession is polling at about 50% in Alberta, but the movement is hopelessly divided and without even common goals. Should the endgame be an independent Alberta, a Western Canadian federation, or possibly even Alberta as the 51st state?
There is no agreement on such a basic question as this, and no leadership capable of uniting the various factions into a single-minded, laser-focused machine. But all this could change very quickly if the right leader came along.
Consider John Adams, the prominent citizen of Massachusetts and loyal British subject who, owing to the hostile actions of the British government, gradually became a firebrand patriot and one of the foremost leaders of the revolutionary cause. He went from working for change within the existing system (and shunning radical patriots such as his own second cousin Samuel Adams) to leading the movement to overthrow the British regime altogether.
The equivalent to Adams in Alberta is Premier Jason Kenney. Though loyal to Canada (for now), Kenney is very hostile to the federal government, and if that eco-extremist fedgov is reelected, it poses an existential threat to the lifeblood of Alberta’s economy, the energy sector. The population of Alberta will be outraged beyond belief, and Kenney may be swept up in the secessionist tide, just like Adams was in his day.
If Jason Kenney (or a similar prominent, charismatic figure) flips from loyal Canadian to Alberta separatist, Canada is over, finished, kaput. All the movement needs to succeed is good leadership, and there’s no way such a brittle federation like Canada could survive the loss of Alberta, Quebec or any other province. The country would quickly disintegrate into a half dozen or more independent
nations.
Then, and probably only then, would secession fever hit the United States. If Canada could provide a template for the peaceful separation of an unwieldy, too-big federation into smaller, more culturally and ideologically homogeneous nations, then I believe the US would almost inevitably follow suit. So if you’d like to see the breakup of the US into smaller, more manageable units, then you should pray for the continued electoral success of the clown-prince who will inadvertently make it happen, Justin Trudeau.

Of course, there are many productive members of the Democratic coalition – I would say a majority of the working-age people – they’re not all welfare recipients and government employees. The productive members complain about taxes and government regulations, but still vote for the Democrats.
White flight from regions is happening – I know two people here in NJ who plan to move to Idaho. Blacks are returning to the South. Even without a breakup of the US, there will be reshuffling of the US population with different groups in different regions.

Social Democracy reflects Jewism, the ethics of humanist Jews — multi-racialism, open borders, abortion, positive-rights welfare. They are the advocates of Mohammadans.

Jews are caught between the proverbial rock and a hard place. On one hand, a Jew may or may not consider herself White, and the lefties don’t seem to, but non-Whites regard them as White. Uber Whites, if anything. Non-Whites don’t care about Israel and may even sympathize with the Palestinians, regarding them as an oppressed POC, victims of the world’s last White colonial power. On the other hand, more and more White gentiles realize that Jews are a hostile elite and Jewish individuals and organizations have been in the forefront of political radicalism and cultural subversion in the Western world since the 19th Century. Which way they jump is anyone’s guess.

The irony of all the moral hand wringing surrounding the idea of deportations is that American constantly and voluntarily uproot themselves throughout their whole lives to pursue their “careers.” We’re basically “deported” every time our position is made redundant, or whatever.

It is a tiny, despised and profoundly alienated minority that perceives this.
I guess that, say, 10 % of people posting, even reading, here have gone through a scenario or two re "secession".

What was the point in that (imagined, of course) process/chain of events, when the "Authority" sends armed police to arrest some people?

The Reuters Poll found that a staggering 47% of military personnel favored secession.
If dissolution is democratically enacted, there will be no military effort to stop it.
There was a Reuters-Ipsos poll commissioned five years ago that found 25% support for “your state peacefully seceding from the federal government”. New York Magazine has written about it recently. When the impending currency crisis hits, the floodgates will open and everyone will be forced to think about it.
Similar polls in Alberta find majority support for secession, considerably higher than even Quebec.

A rightist movement not supported by the corporate sector is going to end up with no money and no resources and no organisation and will be demonised by the media as Nazi.

No seriously, you’re definitely a Hispanic.

Blacks are obviously not included. Anyways, the numbers and crime rates speak for themselves. Unless they are black, muzzies in the US don’t really do anything.

There was a Reuters-Ipsos poll commissioned five years ago that found 25% support for “your state peacefully seceding from the federal government”.
Similar polls in Alberta find majority support for secession, considerably higher than even Quebec.

I would prefer a guaranteed income for everyone or no welfare whatsoever (except for the physically disabled). What I don’t like is the current welfare system that picks winners and losers (the childless).
Unfortunately today’s Republicans do favor the welfare status quo and only oppose expansion. The irony is they support welfare for those who don’t vote for them (single mothers, often non-white) while opposing any type of welfare that could benefit some of their voting base.
When did protecting one’s citizens and punishing evildoers become “afwul?”

The people who matter in this country have no time for “civic unrest” on behalf of invaders. They’re at work during the day.
No, all it would take is the will to look the other way as the people who matter dispose of the traitors and leave them for trash pickup.
Remember the BLM clowns who blocked freeways with human chains of barrels with their hands locked inside? One guy with a machete to separate the barrels and a pickup to push the barrels out of the way is all it would take to make sure NOBODY ever did that again. Or somebody willing to use a bit of gasoline other than to propel their vehicle. These protestors have no idea just how close people are to doing that.

We can do it as punishment for crime, though. Particularly habitual criminality or obvious depravity that starts early on (such as the horde of “teens” who beat down the man at the Washington Hilton the other day, or the ones who nearly killed Steve Utash). Just have a points system and for some failure score they get shipped out and don’t come back. Encourage their families to “reunite” in Liberia or Ghana, perhaps with a lump-sum payment of 5 years worth of whatever benefits they’re getting. Use that high time preference to move them out; we might even be able to do it at a savings.

A rightist movement supported by the corporate sector is going to end up being a tool of bankers and billionaires. And bankers and billionaires want open borders and degeneracy. What will you get from such a movement? More open borders, more degeneracy, more tax cuts for the rich.
A rightist movement not supported by the corporate sector is going to end up with no money and no resources and no organisation and will be demonised by the media as Nazi.
The mistake the alt-righters made was in thinking that the Right could be used as a vehicle to oppose open borders and the Poz.
Maybe it would have been a better idea to try to infiltrate the Left and create a leftist populist nationlist movement.
But they won’t be told that they’re turning their guns on the civilians they are sworn to protect. They’ll be told that they are turning their guns on Nazis who are trying to destroy our great nation.
Shooting your own civilians is morally problematic. But shooting Nazis is good. It’s virtuous.

We're comparing two different versions of radical change, and neither are the type of radical change that is mostly likely to happen. The left's incrementalism goes back 100 years, in my observation, but you're correct about the winning. I do not see any scenario where a strategy of incrementalism returns the US to a version of its former self.
"Proposing forcibly removing large portions of the population that have been here for centuries is going to strike the vast majority of people as horribly immoral."
You said this already. To which I replied your proposal of splitting the nation also requires forcible relocation for millions of people. People who, in my opinion, hold the better claim to remaining in place. It's funny though, you make the correct observation that the left wins by receiving small concessions from the right but then you propose a solution that concedes half the current nation's land mass to the left. Your proposal is soundly defeatist.
"Peaceful separation, on the other hand–well, R-I showed it getting about 25% popular support, which is roughly the same amount of support as Calexit got. It’s a long way from a majority, but it’s not a fringe position liking kicking blacks out to Liberia or something is."
My idea may be fringe, but at least it isn't passive aggressive. It addresses the issue directly. 25% is remarkable, but 95% of those respondents likely never gave the issue any further thought than "It sure would be nice to not have to live near people who don't think like me." None have a clue as to what separate nations would require just to have a small chance.
Anyway, repatriation doesn't have to be violent. A sweetener can (and should) be offered to any individuals willing to leave peacefully and promising never to return. Others can stay if they submit to voluntary permanent sterilization. All workers' visas revoked and all resident aliens returned going back 20 years. Violent and career criminals are the easiest to remove immediately. Ending welfare entitlements would likely get a couple million to return to their homelands voluntarily.
Repatriation isn't absolutist either. A vetting process would be imperative. But the US must be returned to 90% Euro, preferably western Euro, in order to have any chance.Replies: @dfordoom
Explain a few of the potential problems to them and that support will drop dramatically.
And then when the media really gets going explaining to people that separation is a fascist plot that support will drop even further.
Then tell people that their newly separated state is certain to be hit with savage economic sanctions and see how much support is left.
It might be worth pointing out that most of those who will comprise the Red regions have shown zero signs of having the character and stamina to engage in battle even when it’s a purely political battle with no chance of getting shot at.

The key trait of the neo-lib era is that both sides aggressively promote that which they are the worst at (conservatives and their economic Darwinism, liberals and their goofball cultural experiments) while forgetting what they once did well (liberal economic fairness, conservative cultural stability).

I have begun to question this objective. Certainly the seizure of power by Lenin and Mao degenerated into mass murder and coercion. Now “our democracy” seems to be on its last legs. As you pointed out, should we be able to defeat the Borg and place the power of the state in service for the benefit of working people and the majority, it would merely be a reset with the seeds of degeneracy contained within and the clock would start ticking. I don’t think people have the capability of sustaining it. The hyper-individualist that connects to the empire power is not a good model. In fact, it is little different from the commie and fascist model whereby the individual’s purpose and being is to serve the state.
I’m coming around to the little platoon and local group power model as the way to sustain a complex modern society.
How to avoid this? Hitler's idea was that after conquering the east Germany would turn its back on industrialisation and urbanisation and Germans would live simple frugal virtuous lives in an idyllic rural world of small family farms. Like most of Hitler's ideas it could only have been brought about by coercion (and of course by the mass murder and/or enslavement of the existing populations of the east). The only way Germans would have been persuaded to embrace such a future was at the point of a gun. And it would have required the forcible destruction of cities, which Hitler hated.
I guess Pol Pot's idea was rather similar - Year Zero would be achieved by killing everybody likely to be an obstacle.

It’s a problem. I’m not sure how you can stop the descent into degeneracy. Or the descent into some kind of tyranny.

All power has been swallowed up by the Borg. The individual stands alone against the elite. This is not hierarchy anymore. There are no layers in between the individual and the elite clique. All alternative power centers have atrophied or been gutted, whether family, community, religion, fraternal organizations, local government, state government, academia, “free” press (ha), etc. All of our eggs are in one basket. If the basket makes a wrong move, we will all go down. Another way to look at it is to view the country as an organism. Organisms need variation as insurance for long-term survival.

These are reasons, of course, why I continued to ask "Who gets what?" and received no answer. To really think about the idea of a Blue State/Red State secession would require thinking about some icky things about the nature of conflicting tribes. Anyone who thinks the Blue state left would just become content living next to what they'd see as Naziland post secession is fooling themselves.

Most.
You lost me there.
As for
That’s what the PROPER work on the topic should be all about. You know….smart people, think tank….time/effort. Not all this blathering about here.
Haven’t personally, seen any SERIOUS study about the topic, let alone those objections of yours.
Never occurred to you the concept of “wiping out” could work the other way around or both ways? It’s O.K.
You want to receive an answer to those question here? In the current social climate? Icky things in particular?
Hahahaha……oh man.
More likely, yes.
The thing is…nobody knows.
Did you see that chant “Send her back” coming before that rally?
So…..there could be other chants. And consequent actions.
Keeping options open is, in my book, the smart thing to do.
Granted, nobody says “we” are smart enough.
I guess, in time, accelerating, more and more of smart people will get on “our” side.
See….there are a couple of threads going on here about secession/whatever as we speak.
Unthinkable just five years ago.
Three years from now…hehe……
Re serious study, perhaps even (initial) planning for it, well, I am sure several “teams” are working on it as we speak. Majority of them, how to put it, unfriendly.
Not in public, of course; definitely not those couple on “our” side.
What could be interesting, and coming soon I feel, is somebody asking, as:” you know…we do zillions of studies about some things which are just dumb….so…why don’t we do one about secession?”.
Some naive soul believing in free speech, intellectual freedom and other ….dumb things…in this paradigm.
The guy will, of course, get “Holocaust TM” treatment, but, as with that other taboo, it will open the gate.
Get the ball rolling. A small snowball along the slope; those tend to grow big fast, sometimes.
It'd take more time than I have here to tell you how free this country is even more recently when I was young.

There’s also little appetite for engaging in actual violence on the left now with all the rhetoric flying around. Yes, there are some street larpers, but it’s very small number, much smaller than in the 60s and 70s. And with dissolution, the attitude of a sizable number will be “good riddance!”
We've seen w/stuff like the 1999 WTO fiasco, BLM, Occupy WS etc., that many ordinary Americans have little patience with heavy civil disruption. Much of this can be attributed to the fact that the average American is far more likely to be 50, or 60, or 70 years in 1999 or 2019 than he would've been in 1969.
Also, since the 70's America has been increasingly focused on older people, and less and less willing to give "youth culture" any credibility. So Millennials came of age with Boomers constantly dissing Gen X, and eventually Boomers and Gen X decided to gang up on Millennials. This has had the effect of alienating many Millennials (and Gen Z) from any sort of collective mission that involves any sort of risk or dissent (Boomers came of age when older generations encouraged intellectual risk taking and youthful ego, subsequent generations came of age when America was descending into an intellectual dark age w/growing levels of Stalinist repression).
Mass murders commited by lone individuals have become a major problem in the US over the past 30 years, largely coinciding with the fall of the Soviet Union*. In the New Deal era, lots of restless Boomers had frequent meetings to hash out plans designed to take on the system; and note that Boomers in the 60's targeted hated authorities for the most part, rather than random average strangers (during the Great Compression of 1930-1980, Americans generally respected each other and did not feel so alienated and depressed that it seemed ok to go on a mass murder spree).
In the New Gilded Age, we see that all generations have a much weaker ability to galvanize together for the sake of some collective goal, while also, despair is much more common now that it was during the Great Compression.
*Peter Turchin says that the US was already declining in the 70's and 80's, and the fall of the Soviet Union only slightly sped up the disintegration of America's culture and psyche; the 1990's was the decade when both the Dems and Republicans mostly gave up on many important safeguards. Paradoxically, the mass movements of the 60's can actually be thought of as a sign of cultural health; better to have protests and riots performed by people with a common goal than to have medicated video game addict nihilists picking up a gun and shooting a dozen people to death.

The trouble with clinging to fantasy is that fantasising doesn't change anything.
If Unz Review had existed in the 1770s the would-be American revolutionaries would not have bothered organising an actual revolution. They would have posted lengthy articles that would have started, "Let's assume that the British just give up their North American colonies. Now we can talk about all the awesome things we're gonna do now that the British have gone."
In 1910 Lenin would have been posting articles starting, "Let's assume that the Tsarist regime has disappeared. Now we can talk about what we'll do next."
In the 1930s Mao's articles here would have started, "Let's assume that the Chinese Communist Party controls the whole country. Now we can plan our next steps."
Luckily for those would-be revolutionaries there was no internet then, so instead they settled down to the awesomely difficult task of actually gaining power.Replies: @L Woods, @Audacious Epigone

In the case of the US, there is also the national guard, state police, etc to contend with. Military action against a state or group of states peacefully voting to withdraw from the federal government, something that would be wildly unpopular both in the seceding states and the remaining states, would be a PR disaster. If the withdrawing states are blue, it would also require going Andrew Jackson on the judiciary because there would be all kinds of injunctions against it on posse comitatus grounds.
They don’t need to engage in violence. They control the police and the military. They pay people to do violence on their behalf.

The Dissident Right opposes the post-1980 conservative rhetoric that the modern Democrats are “liberal” (experimental), while the modern GOP is the countering “conservative” party (traditional and stabilizing). America was not founded for the purpose of bending the national knee to any foreign country, up to and including Israel. America was not intended to be a police state and an enemy of reason and enlightenment. For 40 years, it’s been plainly obvious that the GOP, far from being a force for stability, has instead allowed American politics and culture to be hi-jacked by goofball Israel first fundamentalists and war-mongers. The modern GOP has allowed ignorant fools to bankrupt us and dissolve national sovereignty. That is what the Dissident Right understands.
America has a much older population than it did in the 60’s and 70’s (no more young Baby Boomers causing the average American to be like 45 years old, as was the case 50 years ago).

Hey man, don’t you dare point out that the Reaganite Right allowed American to culturally and socially dissolve via their decision to create a New Gilded Age (the 1990’s were the point at which this became clear, but the Reagan loving frauds claim they “rescued” America from stagflation and Jimmy Carter, even though the Reaganites began to aggressively debauch our economic and foreign policy in the 80’s) after 1980. First it was the “conservatives” debauching economic policy in the 80’s, then it was onto liberals openly beginning to undermine every single piece of cultural tradition in the 90’s. Much like how the neo-lib Left never really tried to bring back the New Deal’s econ. policies, neither has the neo-lib Right ever fought all that hard to protect cultural tradition and stability, save for token action on abortion.
The key trait of the neo-lib era is that both sides aggressively promote that which they are the worst at (conservatives and their economic Darwinism, liberals and their goofball cultural experiments) while forgetting what they once did well (liberal economic fairness, conservative cultural stability).
It can’t be said enough times that the New Deal era was economically liberal, and culturally conservative.

How to avoid this? Hitler's idea was that after conquering the east Germany would turn its back on industrialisation and urbanisation and Germans would live simple frugal virtuous lives in an idyllic rural world of small family farms. Like most of Hitler's ideas it could only have been brought about by coercion (and of course by the mass murder and/or enslavement of the existing populations of the east). The only way Germans would have been persuaded to embrace such a future was at the point of a gun. And it would have required the forcible destruction of cities, which Hitler hated.
I guess Pol Pot's idea was rather similar - Year Zero would be achieved by killing everybody likely to be an obstacle. Environmentalists are prone to similar daydreams but they tend not to mention that their eco-friendly sustainable utopias could only be achieved by first liquidating most of the population.
Utopias are a bit like that.
Maybe the Chinese can pull it off by keeping capitalism under strict control and by avoiding democracy. Good luck to them if they can do it. A fine idea, if there was a chance of being allowed to do it.
I'm sceptical as to whether any long-term functional society can be achieved without a measure of authoritarianism. Maybe there's a way of decentralising that authoritarianism. Authoritarianism tends to be nasty on a large scale, not so bad on a small local scale.
Or (just throwing wild ideas around here) maybe some kind of neo-feudalism, if a way could be found to achieve a kind of benevolent paternalistic neo-feudalism. Feudalism sounds quite attractive in theory, but then everything sounds quite attractive in theory.Replies: @iffen, @iffen, @Feryl
One could argue that the sheer size, and resounding (to this day) power and influence of the Boomer generation, is heavily responsible for the rapid speed at which Western society was flayed apart since circa 1970. The Boomers had no first-hand memories of a time in which electricity and sanitation weren’t necessarily a sure thing, banks often robbed people, famines occured, striking workers were gunned down, and the world being beset by not one, but two “world wars”. Thus the Boomers were fated to take the (relative) prosperity, peace, and technical achievements created by older generations for granted, thereby making them likely to undermine and eventually throw away so many admirable things. And this evidenced by how often Boomers fall for, and promote, the most rancid BS in all realms, whether religious, scientific, political, or economic.
Westerners widely understood many key concepts of science, politics, and economics, and respected them, in the early to mid 20th century. That’s changed big time since then, largely due to the ideological derangement (and frankly, questionable sanity) of many Boomers, who have done so much to spread wrong-headed and toxic ideas.
This largely stems from the early-mid 1970’s, the “Me decade”. It’s just that what was remarked upon as a curious new trend at that time (narcissism, materialism, careerism) has only intensified with each subsequent decade. “Greed is good”, “irrational exuberance”, “free trade”, etc.

Prior to the growth in public works efforts of the Progressive and New Deal era (roughly 1900-1970), few blacks lived in New England or the Midwest. The winters were just way too punishing; you had to be quite hardy to live in these regions before the improvements in housing, heating, food distribution etc. began around 1900.
One thing that will never let America become Brazil is that the mid-upper portion of the US is really damn cold for 5-6 months of the year. That just reinforces why we should’ve let the South secede; it’s climate is a big reason why it’s culturally and ethnically different than the North. We should’ve made peace with that, and let the South go.

The military selects for conformity, any way*. Even if we had compulsory service, the least conforming people would act up and be drummed out, or else would just bide their time until the minimum time had been served, and would then high-tail it out of there.

It’s worth pointing out that the situation was similar in other Anglosphere nations. The Attlee Labour Government in Britain (1945-51) was economically quite left but socially conservative. The Curtin-Chifley Labor Governments in Australia in the 40s were also economically quite left but socially conservative.
Dissolution is the only viable course at this point.
1. After 2024 (at the latest), there will never again be a single republican federal judge appointed. Donald Trump will be the last republican president due to immigration-caused demographic change, so all future judges will be activist democrats. With checks and balances removed, things are going to get very bad for conservative white freedoms. Gun rights, speech rights, assembly rights, and many other traditional American liberties are going to be removed in the future. I’m sure they’ll censor the internet, too.
The constitution won’t protect you or your rights because it is up to the judiciary to interpret the laws, and leftist judges have shown in the past they are willing to base a ruling on their politics first and then concoct an argument to justify it later. All judges will be members of the democrat party, the same party that has agitated for removing or curtaining those rights for years. There is certainly the precedent for this when you consider Silicon Valley’s repeated deplatforming (read: banning) of political opponents. Amazon now bans books, something straight out of Orwell. In the recent past, several democrats have openly suggested that Fox News be banned along with “hate speech”, as they define it. Obama didn’t want to give Fox a press pass because they reported things he didn’t like. He almost got away with it then. In the future, one of them probably will.
2. There is no place for whites in the democrat party, so that’s not a viable refuge. White candidates are being voted out in democrat primaries en masse. That’s why we got AOC; her white male opponent was stupid enough to show up to a debate and reveal to his racist constituents that he’s white. He lost the race, of course. Policy doesn’t explain this as several other white candidates have gone down to non-whites of more conventional, establishment orientation. Even within the party’s non-elected ranks there is a purge of whites underway. From the Daily Caller:
“A top Democratic fundraising executive resigned Monday from the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC) due to a lack of diversity. Allison Jaslow, who served as the executive director of the DCCC, announced her resignation at an all-staff meeting, according to Politico. The move reportedly comes after two Hispanic lawmakers, Democratic Texas Reps. Vicente González and Filemon Vela, called for Jaslow’s resignation Sunday, saying the committee needs to be run by a “person of color.”
3. Politics in the future will be explicitly race-based and revolve around endless appeals to fringe groups at your expense. Soon, all American presidents will be decided by the racist antics we see in the current democrat primary: racist dog whistling and appeals to fringe groups through otherizing you. Consider the second democrat debate. There were over 90 references to racist buzzwords like “diversity”, “discrimination”, “race”, “police shooting”, “white supremacy” etc.; nearly every candidate supported decriminalizing illegal immigration and giving them healthcare (national suicide); very few references were made to explicitly white issues. Apparently, you don’t count in this future.
4. Economic catastrophe awaits. In any significantly diverse society, there will be socioeconomic stratification. The breeds envy and resentment. In Zimbabwe and South Africa, this has led to farm seizures and racial oppression of the white minority; one-million whites have fled South Africa since the end of the Apartheid regime. A similar future awaits the United States. So far, the government has been able to placate minorities with fanciful tales of whites keeping them down (institutional racism, white supremacy, patriarchy).
Obviously, this is not true. There are studies that show it is not true. For instance, studies have shown police are more likely to shoot white suspects than black suspects; there is no appreciable wage gap as a result of discrimination; women are more likely than men to receive many coveted appointments in academia due to hiring quotas and reverse discrimination; blacks are the beneficiaries of massive reverse discrimination in their favor with over half of low-scoring MCAT takers getting into medical school compared with just 8% of whites with similar scores. But these lies will only last as long as the audience for them believes the perceived racial gaps are closing.
After a while, when they don’t, the majority-minority may just seize wealth from “the other” to soothe their resentments. We see this in the nascent reparations movement (no mention of the mass wealth transfers to blacks in the form of welfare and government jobs that has already taken place). With the GOP out of power permanently thanks to short-sighted immigration policy, this trend will greatly accelerate in the future. I wouldn’t be surprised if they started using eminent domain, backed up by democrat judges, to seize valuable real estate for POC in the near future. Although, I expect the upperclass will be somewhat less impacted than middle-class whites who can’t afford to lose their homes.
Just as the Housing Crisis of 2008 was caused by a foolhardy plan to put more poor minorities into homes, you can expect similar crises to visit the country in the future under progressive POC leadership. Every decade there could be a huge downturn in the economy as the result of some failed wealth-transfer scheme or social engineering experiment – reparations, racial equity programs in home and auto loans, private sector hiring requirements, corporate board representation, student loans, etc. This will be dramatically worsened as the country faces stiff competition from China, a country that is not likely to damage its competitiveness with similar measures.
5. There is no way to reform the current system. The left has a monopoly on all the levers of power – the news media, the federal bureaucracy (including law enforcement and criminal prosecution), the military’s officer core, the financial sector, academia, the entertainment industry, high-value employers (corporate America), a large majority of the nation’s wealth (activist billionaires), and most NGOs. You can’t fight head-first against that kind of power. If you want to win, you have to flank the enemy. Dissolution/partition/secession does that. In one fell swoop, it deplatforms most of the establishment left since it is primarily based in a handful of areas, places such as NYC, Los Angeles, and Washington D.C.
Afterwards, Red States could repopulate their institutions of power with their own people. Issues such as immigration could be addressed in the interests of the silent majority, meaning it would be restricted or abolished. Whites would then implicitly have their own homeland where they would be free from racial oppression, free to express themselves without fringe leftists attacking them.

6. All proposed alternatives are unrealistic pipe dreams. For example (one among many), I sometimes come across people who advocate reforming the system such that only net-tax payers can vote in elections. That’s never going to happen – same for all similar proposals. The reason for this is simple, albeit seemingly missed by most proponents: people won’t vote for that, so there is no way to ever enact such a proposal in the current system. Obviously, those without means aren’t going to vote their own freedoms away, so it’s a waste of time to consider this or any similarly-minded proposal. They’re all pipe dreams. Independence, on the other hand, isn’t. There are enough voters in some Red States for proposals to strengthen our system so that it never becomes divided into normal white vs anti-white left again…once those areas become independent, that is.
7. Bad times lie ahead. The radical white left isn’t going to treat you well as a minority. They can’t if they are going to stay ahead of the brown tidal wave they created. This is why the left continually signals against whites and men: if they don’t, they will be devoured by the encroaching POC mob, just as that white democrat fundraiser recently was. Consider the following: every late night “comedian” is now a partisan hack who focuses solely on Donald Trump as a proxy for whites so that some POC doesn’t point out that all of these people are white males; California cities signal against Chick-fil-a (San Jose erected gay flags around one restaurant) because lots of poor Hispanics live near valuable real estate populated by rich liberals, and it’d be a real shame if those POC rose up to take it away; New York passed a hair texture anti-discrimination law for their black demographic for a similar reason (they can’t let blacks know they are getting rich by chasing them out of NYC, so they divert their attention to imagined slights from supposedly racist white males elsewhere in the world … even though the concept of hair discrimination is largely nonsense). It’s an effective ruse, though. As such, you can expect these kinds of diversionary antics to continue and even accelerate in the future as the demographics continue shifting. The rich will get scared and you will pay the price. Don’t think it will stop.
8. Separation is already happening. Left-wing states and cities across the country have defied federal authority on immigration for decades. They are actively aiding and abetting a foreign invasion. The California AG once threatened companies with fines for cooperation. Nullification of central authority is basically dissolution in small bites. The left started this, why not finish it for them? What’s good for the goose is good for the gander.
9. Conservatives have conserved nothing. They are abject losers who use the movement to pad their resumes and future job prospects. These people have shown they have no interest in defending you, so don’t expect them to conserve anything when democrats become the permanent majority. They are already preparing for the day when they switch sides by rebranding themselves as “conservative liberals”. Conservatism is a one-way ticket to oblivion – yours. There is no future in this movement. Don’t depend on it.
10. Real freedom will not come under the current order. Imagine that you’re an aspiring director or book author or video game developer. Do you think the current entertainment industry would allow you to make a faithful representation of your work without race and gender-swapping all the characters? Can you write honestly about race in this country? Or crime? Can you say politically incorrect things without being fired or deplatformed? Is comedy still a thing or has it largely been banned? The answers to these questions are obvious. But ask yourself with the answer in mind, “in what sense is this a free country?”
Freedoms have largely been abolished because some truths are both obvious and problematic: whites produce more and better entertainment; whites contribute more to scientific discovery and less to crime; jokes offend stupid people and there are more of them in this country every day. Do you think these uncomfortable truths will become less problematic in the future? If not, then you can expect to hear fewer of them. That won’t change until we have a home of our own, a place where it is not a problem. Some of us value freedom of scientific inquiry and artistic expression. In the past, Red States were not the place for much of this due to a conservative disposition, but the left is getting so far out of control that I can see the day when these areas become a relative abode of such freedoms.
1. If the Republican Party dies (which would be an excellent thing) that would allow a new party to emerge and have a real chance of winning elections. The two-party system will tend to re-assert itself since it's pretty much built into the system.
2. What's more likely is that if the Republican Party dies the Democrats will split into two definite distinct factions. The general election will become irrelevant. The primaries will decide the presidency. And the primaries will become a genuine contest between competing ideological positions. The factional split will most likely be between the socially radical wing (the Coalition of the Fringes) and the old school economic left Democrats (the Bernie Sanders style Democrats). It's possible that you'll end up with more actual democracy. More actual choice.

You are irretrievably stupid (and thus wrong) to the point that you are a waste of time and energy arguing with. You can’t even correctly articulate political definitions.

Stop trying to ape intelligence and stop making a fool of yourself, monkey. Just be gone.
1. After 2024 (at the latest), there will never again be a single republican federal judge appointed. Donald Trump will be the last republican president due to immigration-caused demographic change, so all future judges will be activist democrats. With checks and balances removed, things are going to get very bad for conservative white freedoms. Gun rights, speech rights, assembly rights, and many other traditional American liberties are going to be removed in the future. I'm sure they'll censor the internet, too.
The constitution won't protect you or your rights because it is up to the judiciary to interpret the laws, and leftist judges have shown in the past they are willing to base a ruling on their politics first and then concoct an argument to justify it later. All judges will be members of the democrat party, the same party that has agitated for removing or curtaining those rights for years. There is certainly the precedent for this when you consider Silicon Valley's repeated deplatforming (read: banning) of political opponents. Amazon now bans books, something straight out of Orwell. In the recent past, several democrats have openly suggested that Fox News be banned along with “hate speech”, as they define it. Obama didn't want to give Fox a press pass because they reported things he didn't like. He almost got away with it then. In the future, one of them probably will.
2. There is no place for whites in the democrat party, so that's not a viable refuge. White candidates are being voted out in democrat primaries en masse. That's why we got AOC; her white male opponent was stupid enough to show up to a debate and reveal to his racist constituents that he's white. He lost the race, of course. Policy doesn't explain this as several other white candidates have gone down to non-whites of more conventional, establishment orientation. Even within the party's non-elected ranks there is a purge of whites underway. From the Daily Caller:
“A top Democratic fundraising executive resigned Monday from the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC) due to a lack of diversity. Allison Jaslow, who served as the executive director of the DCCC, announced her resignation at an all-staff meeting, according to Politico. The move reportedly comes after two Hispanic lawmakers, Democratic Texas Reps. Vicente González and Filemon Vela, called for Jaslow’s resignation Sunday, saying the committee needs to be run by a “person of color.”
3. Politics in the future will be explicitly race-based and revolve around endless appeals to fringe groups at your expense. Soon, all American presidents will be decided by the racist antics we see in the current democrat primary: racist dog whistling and appeals to fringe groups through otherizing you. Consider the second democrat debate. There were over 90 references to racist buzzwords like “diversity”, “discrimination”, “race”, “police shooting”, “white supremacy” etc.; nearly every candidate supported decriminalizing illegal immigration and giving them healthcare (national suicide); very few references were made to explicitly white issues. Apparently, you don't count in this future.
4. Economic catastrophe awaits. In any significantly diverse society, there will be socioeconomic stratification. The breeds envy and resentment. In Zimbabwe and South Africa, this has led to farm seizures and racial oppression of the white minority; one-million whites have fled South Africa since the end of the Apartheid regime. A similar future awaits the United States. So far, the government has been able to placate minorities with fanciful tales of whites keeping them down (institutional racism, white supremacy, patriarchy).
Obviously, this is not true. There are studies that show it is not true. For instance, studies have shown police are more likely to shoot white suspects than black suspects; there is no appreciable wage gap as a result of discrimination; women are more likely than men to receive many coveted appointments in academia due to hiring quotas and reverse discrimination; blacks are the beneficiaries of massive reverse discrimination in their favor with over half of low-scoring MCAT takers getting into medical school compared with just 8% of whites with similar scores. But these lies will only last as long as the audience for them believes the perceived racial gaps are closing.
After a while, when they don't, the majority-minority may just seize wealth from “the other” to soothe their resentments. We see this in the nascent reparations movement (no mention of the mass wealth transfers to blacks in the form of welfare and government jobs that has already taken place). With the GOP out of power permanently thanks to short-sighted immigration policy, this trend will greatly accelerate in the future. I wouldn't be surprised if they started using eminent domain, backed up by democrat judges, to seize valuable real estate for POC in the near future. Although, I expect the upperclass will be somewhat less impacted than middle-class whites who can't afford to lose their homes.
Just as the Housing Crisis of 2008 was caused by a foolhardy plan to put more poor minorities into homes, you can expect similar crises to visit the country in the future under progressive POC leadership. Every decade there could be a huge downturn in the economy as the result of some failed wealth-transfer scheme or social engineering experiment – reparations, racial equity programs in home and auto loans, private sector hiring requirements, corporate board representation, student loans, etc. This will be dramatically worsened as the country faces stiff competition from China, a country that is not likely to damage its competitiveness with similar measures.
5. There is no way to reform the current system. The left has a monopoly on all the levers of power – the news media, the federal bureaucracy (including law enforcement and criminal prosecution), the military's officer core, the financial sector, academia, the entertainment industry, high-value employers (corporate America), a large majority of the nation's wealth (activist billionaires), and most NGOs. You can't fight head-first against that kind of power. If you want to win, you have to flank the enemy. Dissolution/partition/secession does that. In one fell swoop, it deplatforms most of the establishment left since it is primarily based in a handful of areas, places such as NYC, Los Angeles, and Washington D.C.
Afterwards, Red States could repopulate their institutions of power with their own people. Issues such as immigration could be addressed in the interests of the silent majority, meaning it would be restricted or abolished. Whites would then implicitly have their own homeland where they would be free from racial oppression, free to express themselves without fringe leftists attacking them. No more feminism, no more hateful rhetoric, no more limitations on our artistic and economic freedoms.
6. All proposed alternatives are unrealistic pipe dreams.

But you have to get to that civil war first, and there will be no popular support for it.
In the case of the US, there is also the national guard, state police, etc to contend with. Military action against a state or group of states peacefully voting to withdraw from the federal government, something that would be wildly unpopular both in the seceding states and the remaining states, would be a PR disaster. If the withdrawing states are blue, it would also require going Andrew Jackson on the judiciary because there would be all kinds of injunctions against it on posse comitatus grounds.

One obvious problem with that is that there is no moderate contingent in the Democrat party. They are virtually all on the same page wrt open borders, destroy ‘white supremacy’, free health care for illegal aliens. The ones who deviate, like Jim Webb in 2016 or the guy in the first Dem debate this week (whose) name escapes me, poll at 1% if they’re lucky.
There are almost certainly lots of moderate rank-and-file Democrats but they get ignored by the party elites.
I’m not entirely sure about that. They have to take those positions given the current party structure and party culture. If the GOP dies and the Democrats split into formal factions there’ll be more opportunities for moderate Old School Democrats.
