A neo-Nazi front group is demanding that New England secede and establish itself as a white nation. Decrying ā€œenemiesā€ that are ā€œall around usā€ and vowing to defend racial ā€œintegrity,ā€ the Peopleā€™s Initiative of New England published a revolutionary manifesto on July 27 advocating ā€œseparation from the United States of America.ā€

    Itā€™s sad the times weā€™re living through. When I was growing up and getting smarter in school, I expected the rest of the world was too.

    Yet, its 2023 and we still have Naziā€™s out there thinking itā€™s okay to hate and people who think the world is flat.

      Thatā€™s exactly how I feel, I thought the world would get better and better, not take a hopefully temporary nose dive. Now I think itā€™s like a roller coaster that goes through fire or water on the bottom and we have to not let the world go too far down or stay there too long. I wish we knew more when we were at the top of the hill too.

      Also thinking that somehow the NE states could be self-sustaining. Exactly what cureency would this country use? How would they feed their citizens? Do they think that population could survive on just cranberries and maple syrup? Would they expect to be allowed to stay on the electrical grid without paying for the infrastructure upkeep? Do they have refineries to process crude into useable fuels?

      As usual, those who dont know history are doomed to repeat it and these dools obviously slept through history class and disnt pay attention to why the CSA was dooned to fall.

        There are countries that import things which they cannot produce domestically. Though not sure who would want to do business with such a country. Actually sadly probably a lot of US states would want to. Not like this would ever happen though lol.
