America as Several Smaller Nations (lemmy.blahaj.zone)

I've been wondering about how well a lot of American states could function if they where fully independent states. I'm not thinking every state would be it's own country but states banding together and becoming there own countries. An example of this California, Oregon, and Washington.

I'm thinking that kind of like the Fediverse it is easier to manage and do more the people on a smaller scale.

What do others think of this?

Yes. I've been slowly advocating for the west of North America to break away from the greedy East stuck in the past. We embrace the future on the west coast and we hold a lot of resources and links to the world through the Pacific. It's about time we get what we deserve and stop being dictated to by the East Coast conservatives.

Bring in Alaska, BC, and the Yukon and we are golden! We'd hold some serious power if we could ever reach out and take it.

Bring in Alaska, BC, and the Yukon

Excuse me? Alaska is yours, the others are not. Are you a 51st stater?

No, I say we all break off and fuck the rest of both countries. I love Canada, but out here we get the shit end of the stick. The West can survive on its own, especially if we add the 4 states mentioned and Yukon.
