A Time To Dig Trenches
The populist wave in the West, which crested in 2016 with the election of Donald Trump in the United States, the successful Brexit referendum in the United Kingdom, and victories for populist political parties across Europe in the last few years have lost momentum. What was once a confident, dynamic movement now more closely resembles a shadow of its former self – a tattered and tainted flag. Increasing numbers of Western conservatives and people on the Right are consequently now becoming disillusioned with the party political system and are beginning to look elsewhere for guidance for the challenging road ahead.

Even Lucas "The Eggman" Jackson realized no matter how many times you piss on the steps of the regime the government has the last laugh.
ReplyDeleteA well written article. I have often asked, where does one run to from America. There is no place that is more able to sustain freedom and independence than America. Run from one state to another? Pointless. Stay and dig in. Preserve your community; your state. Remember that the State, be it NH, MA, OR or wherever was and should be sovereign. I would like to see the state of New Maine, created from the merger of Maine and New Hampshire, to be a place where we, the residents hold the line and run our lives and government as we see fit. Evict the delusional, the ballot fixers, the Massholes and make the new state sovereign. Reject the federal monies and unconstitutional mandates, rules, and regulations.
ReplyDeleteProbably never happen, but I agree with the premise, it is time to dig trenches.
The sovereignty of the states was decided back in 1865.
DeleteRob: Only in the sense that the future of Russia was decided in 1917. Your statement has been prevailing thought for some time, but things change. In the early 1920s, the peripheral countries forced into the Soviet Union thought regaining their independence an impossibility.
DeleteJoining the United States was voluntary and I think that does make a difference.
DeleteBut... as you say, things do change.
Maine alone or Maine/NH could work. Frankly, much of southern NH is tipping in the wrong direction. Vermont to the west is certainly enemy territory after being completely transformed in just a few decades. Mass to the south is obviously hopeless. Maine has a lot of advantages in that there is much local productive commerce that involves actually producing something, such as timber/farming/fishing/ aquaculture. Maine still has strong boat and shipbuilding industries and a long coast with suitable ports for overseas and regional trade. The people here are independent and strongly rooted to the land. It would be a difficult state to invade and occupy for anyone.
DeleteGreat story and prescient Dave. I look forward to seeing many parasites in the no mans land area.
