I'm beginning to think.

Let them secede.

I'd love it. I'd want them to. I can't think of anything more damning then to watch them fail.

Lets take a quick map.



3 Countries.

Eastern United States of America.
Western United States of America.
Jesusland

It has to be... I'd love to believe that there's a way to work out our differences, but, unfortunately, we live in two different realities which I don't feel can be resolved. It's best that we go our separate ways. I'm sure you'd understand.

Anyway, there's so little that we can do outside of breaking this shit up. It's impossible to break the machine of ignorance, so, might as well give them the opportunity. They can take new mexico, if we can have indiana and ohio. Florida will float like Alaska off the edge of the map.

Imagine what it'd be like if this actually came to be?

Every single major center of industry, finance, creativity would be in western and eastern america. What would jesusland have? Atlanta, Houston, Dallas, Phoenix, St. Louis, Denver, and New Orleans.

So, they'd build their new ones. Let those who wish to be part of the Jesusland experiment go to it. Let them live their libertarian/conservative wet dream of corporationality.

Suppose that 25% of completely irrational america with no use for fact, fact checking, science, history, and other logical constraints... Just picked up and moved across the border to Jesusland. What would it be like?

Forced state religion. Jailing of non-christians, deviants, oppositionists. A gigantic military (of contractors). Lax corporate policies... FEMA? out the window. EPA? Non-existant. Superfund sites? What's that? A place, without opposition, that mandates everyone should own guns, there should be no income tax. There should be no taxes period. The government shouldn't exist. Why don't we just go straight to anarchy, 7 day work weeks? Forced labor camps? Haves vs Have Nots? It'd be hysterical, if only because this is what people ask for. You'd create more liberals from that country than conservatives from the united states. People who finally grasp what inequality is, what poverty is, what happens when you don't have regulations, and the only source of control is the dollar (er the jesus, i'm sorry, if you didn't know it has jesus on the front, and washington and tocqueville on the back).

What about the real America? You'd see real dissent, not of the backpedaling Jesusland variety, but of conflicting opinions to what is the best way to encourage progress. That's the difference between Jesusland and America. Progress. America deserves progress. Destroying progress by removing barriers that encourage progress is... well, NOT progress.

So, at that point, when this comes. Let people pack up and choose. Move to states, and lock them down. I'll be the first to say, if you don't like a world with actually progress, go, go to jesusland. Please. Get off my back, telling me what you think is unfair. Live in your world, literally for once. Lets have an experiment of what a real conservative 'america' would be like. Who are you going to model it after? 'Liberal' Germany?

Sweet God. I cannot wait for the day.
