Give people in those regions sovereignty to choose their borders. For example, the republic of new england (which would probably join with NY and NJ, or maybe those two would join with PA to form their own). Also Cascadia, west of the Cascades is quite progressive and while the eastern parts of OR and WA would gladly choose Idaho over remaining with them, I could see the eastern regions joining with California.

With no more federal congress, gerrymandering is off the docket. Wisconsin stops being fucked over and actually gets the progressive government the people want. With that, I can see Illinois, Wisconsin, Minnesota, and Michigan all joining together to form some Midwest progressive nation. Indiana, Ohio would probably join the South. Iowa is up for a toss with how they would choose.

Again, there would be multiple wars fought here. People wouldn’t just choose and live happily ever after without reunification attempts or expansion desires from conservative regions, especially the Great Lakes.

That’s the coolest possible shit. Everything is just resonance

I love Libreoffice but the dictionary on there is abysmal. Like fully wretched.

I’m sure there’s a way to add others but I just haven’t discovered it yet.

Always interesting how people down vote without any dialogue. Like… Sure you don’t owe me any explanation, but idk it would be cool to hear people’s opinions instead of just some downvotes.

It’s just capitalism reaching it’s end stages. Fascism arises either when capitalism is threatened or when it has eaten itself and its contradictions become too great for liberal “democracy” to ignore.

With climate change, refugees from wars and disasters, micro plastics and other pollutants, the waning of social programs, job market collapse across the world, collapsing birth rates, inflation, energy, and a hundred other things, capitalism is reaching its end stage.

There really are only a few options from here. And honestly I only see two major ones: either the rich win and we have literal slavery world wide (not wage slavery, actual no pay, no benefits, no nothing slavery) held up by hyper surveillance and armed bots/drones, or we break capitalism and move onto something better.

Very poorly

That’s the pun. It’s intentional

I have a routine that unless my phone is connected to my wifi, it turns off biometrics and only uses pattern.

If you live in the USA, the cops can now legally force you to unlock your phone using biometrics. And I mean I guess they can also illegally (and whose gonna stop them) force you to open your phone with a passcode or pattern as well. But it’s a lot easier for them to hold your finger on a scanner or your phone to your face than make you type in the code.

Fuck Disney. They’re gearing to buy the show when the Tories axe the BBC even more.

Fucking disgusting.

That’s not even funny. Exposing yourself to kids is… Not right.
