#secessionists — Public Fediverse posts

People complain about #SovereignCitizens, but you know what, they bother me a lot less than state level #secessionists. Sovereign citizens have issues with logistics and universalizability, but at the end of the day they just want to be left alone, and they're going it alone when they do that, so I can respect it.

People who talk about state level #secession are talking about dragging everyone else around them through the logistical nightmare, one which they fail to even seem to recognize, of decoupling from a massive country without devolving into a third world country, especially since a lot of these states are heavily reliant on the federal government.

That's even before the fact that the last time people got those states to secede they murdered a bunch of people, set up dictatorships, and started a crazy war.

At least a #SovereignCitizen's decisions don't reach far beyond themselves.
