Or (and bear with me, I'm high as fuck on ketamine, so this might be all complete bonkers) the US could go into a revolution, decentralizing states, remove the rich and the controlling corps, set up support so anyone has access to food, drinking water, a roof, heathcare, education so people actually have a chance in life instead of being doomed from birth because being born poor.

Or you could fund the police, protect the rich, exploit the poor, fuck the world. Which is basically what the US has been doing so far. Maybe doing that with more states will break a record or something? Go for it! You go girl!

Organizing revolution in the country this size is pretty much impossible.

Well if that's true, there's no reason to keep the second amendment. But right now it feels a lot like America screams "no! We want the most of us to starve! We want school shootings, it's a part of our culture! We don't want to give up slavery, we are responsible slave owners! I want to decide what women are allowed to do with their body, I know better then them!" (yes, the US still has slaves. They ended slavery, with the exception of incarceration. There are prisons where people are forced to work without pay).

Revolutions tend to maintain the status quo just changing the rulers to those who can keep the friendly facade a little bit better

Those problems must be solved but revolution will probably hardly gonna help

Yeah but it gets delayed for a few hundred years.

Or, or! You drop 3 to become 47 states in their prime. Which would you drop?

Texas, Florida, South Dakota (just to fuck around).

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Fuse North and South Dakota into one big, irrelevant state.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 week ago

We could just give the Dakotas back, we clearly aren’t using them

Drop Hawaii by giving them back their independence

I don't care. The United States has been the main perpetrator of countless war crimes across the world. It has been born out of slavery, its land is built on the Natives that were once thriving, it has forced territories under its laws without representation, it has been an apartheid state with white people ruling over colored people, it has installed countless dictatorships to protect its economic interests, its "democracy" is a sham and the Netherlands did it first, it is chiefly responsible for crimes against peace and humanity in Vietnam and Iraq, its citizens are subject to total surveillance while many of them have a lack of water, food, and shelter, its government is bribed constantly by price-gouging corporations, it will gladly use military equipment on its own citizens, and it has strived against democratic elections that are inconvenient. The United States ought to be split up into all of its independent states so the world may be free of its tyranny.

Do you think 50 mini USAs with nukes would be better? Or would there be a couple decades of war until one state more or less took the same place?

I mean right off the bat the old CSA club will get back together. And Imagine the Pacific Northwest and California will work together. No individual state in the Midwest has the economy to stand on its own so they'll probably work together, leaving the remaining states to work together or be conquered.

Plus entities like the CIA and FBI and corporations will still exist and exert their influence.

"One nation, indivisible; except by itself and one."

And we all agree who that "one" is

Throughout US history, all of our battleships have been named after states, except for one: USS Kearsarge. The original ship of this name during the Civil War hunted down and sank the confederate raider Alabama and since that time the US Navy has ensured that one commissioned ship always has that name, I guess as a giant lasting "fuck you" to the confederacy. The battleship Kearsarge was commissioned in 1900, ruining an otherwise-perfect ship naming convention.

For this reason I support making Puerto Rico into a state - as long as they change their name to Kearsarge first.

That's really cool! The company I work for just make some equipment for them!

Or, hear me out, take those 3 and drop 6 states to make 47. I'll leave it to the readers to decide which 6.

Ah you must be working in marketing. Or just stirring shit for fun.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 week ago

Give Texas back to Mexico, then invade it for the oil.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 week ago

Mergers would work, too. Turn some of those tri-state areas into mono-state areas.

Can I drop Florida twice

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 week ago

whichever would separate east and west, just for shits and giggles

It was nice having a gulf coast

Nah we have to keep the mouth of the Mississippi, it's too economical.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 week ago

If I was going to keep one, it would have been Louisiana anyway.

Idaho is just sitting there, not doing much of anything . . .

This is a prime example of how it should be the prime directive for the country to reach a prime number of states. This can be taken on as the prime responsibility for the prime minister (if you had one.......you should make one).

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 week ago

Canada is killing it. We added Nunavut a while ago to make 13 provinces/territories and continue to have a Prime Minister.

United Kingdom: recreate the English heptarchy, keep Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland as separate things, and then give London autonomy too. Now we have 11 that are all of a similar scale. Cumbria becomes part of Scotland and Cornwall becomes part of Wales to account for the parts that weren't in the heptarchy. If Northern Ireland unites with the rest of Ireland, we create a united body to represent the crown dependencies and overseas territories and count that as the 11th

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 week ago

I'm onboard with this plan.

If we had zero states, we’d really be indivisible.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 week ago

But we wouldn't be one nation anymore, we'd be zero nations.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 week ago

Wouldn't that make everyone else indivisible by us? I think the military would like a word.

If you wanna go that route, The of America is more accurate to the current situation..

Well, not if we unite all of our

There's a bigger chance of The Beatles getting back together 😄

A government based on numerology can't be any worse than whatever the fuck is going on right now.
