Let them. Didn't the Weather Underground only manage to kill its own operatives?
Their bungling of terror acts made them change tactics to the "long march through the institutions," which was a complete success. We are now left with the task of either abandoning or reforming our institutions and bureaucracies.
Abandonment and retrenchment in an alternate society seems the way to go. Secession seems certain.
P.S.
The irony is killing me. I remember when many of the heads of the 1960s were rejecting the dominant culture and fleeing the cities for some inchoate utopia, with no central plan or organization, just a bunch of ignorant tribes horrified by conditions looking to flee.
Same thing is happening today but secession by the right appears to be--at least at this stage--more well-thought-out and practical. There's a long-term strategy emerging for retrenchment into Libertarian enclaves, which makes organized secession a practical matter and not some vague pipe dream.
I agree and have been promulgating this idea for some time. The US is not the country it was 270, 150, or even 70 years ago. I would rather we do a soft balkanization where the Red States form a union that can negotiate with the Blue States contingent.
But I can also see the Blue States not liking that arrangement since Red States don't really need much from Blue States.
Waaaaait a minute, this is starting to sound awfully familiar to another civil war we had in this country....
The Red States will suffer under the weight of a large portion of their population losing the welfare that a lot of them live under their entire life.
Now, will the Blue States with their empathy and pro-race stances suddenly take in the massive black populations when they get expelled for that welfare problem? Oh funny. Which leaves a pretty big problem that will not just disappear.
Welfare people will lose out, dummy. Good. Go away.
