Texit, if you will. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] givesomefucks@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago (1 child) Nah, others will follow and they'll invent a reason to start a war. Probably something like claiming the US owes them their taxes back. If we give them money, they'll ask again later, if they don't they'll send peasants to "liberate" stuff from blue states. This shit ain't a joke, and they're not going to just peacefully exist next to the US. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] HarkMahlberg@kbin.social 3 points 2 years ago If we give them money, they’ll ask again later, if they don’t they’ll send peasants to “liberate” stuff from blue states. Like how they "liberated" Fort Sumter. Or how they "liberated" free blacks from free states, abducting them, and selling them as slaves. That's the thing about secessionists: they think they're the only ones who can claim "rightful ownership" of... anything. Women? Minorities? Taxes? Land? They're all just property, and as such, ought to be theirs. permalink fedilink source parent [–] page@discuss.online 2 points 2 years ago Secession is illegal permalink fedilink source parent
