No Civil War, No Secession
Banned Hipster Every normal man must be tempted, at times, to spit on his hands, hoist the black flag, and begin slitting throats. — H. L. Mencken It’s a fantasy for right-wing white males. It’s a specifically male thing, because males like violence, and violence seems simple. The […]
US employers add only 194,000 jobs in September
What a lot of people still don’t realize is that during the past 40 years, the US has gradually moved toward a “Third World” (traditional) model of political economy with traditional levels of disparities between social classes. The period between the 1950s and the 1980s was a historical […]
Sorry, but a national split up just won’t work
This author inadvertently explains why conventional “federalism” or “states’ rights” are not sufficient, and why a more radical approach is needed.

The impractical but plausible fantasy of a national divorce
W.

The Pan-Secessionist Meta-Party Would Now Have 100 Million Sympathizers
Some years back, I rolled out the idea of a “pan-secessionist meta-party” as a means of implementing the wider ATS “anarcho-populist” strategy that I outlined some years before that. The most recent polling data, involving a poll taken by the University of Virginia Center for Politics, indicates that […]

Uber-neocon Bob Kagan, a founder of the Kristolite PNAC and husband of Vicki Nuland, pulls an AOCesque “I’m scared” routine and predicts that pan-secessionism, at least on a primitive level, will actually happen in the next few years. I wish I were as optimistic as Bob the Blob’s […]

Why the U.S. will fragment into smaller countries

US social fragmentation at multiple scales
By Leila Hedayatifar, Rachel A. Rigg, Yaneer Bar-Yam and Alfredo J. Morales Despite global connectivity, societies seem to be increasingly polarized and fragmented.

How Weed Legalization Represents Pan-Secessionist Success
We now have a number of test models for the pan-secessionist concept. Many ATS readers are younger people who likely do not recall how intense the “war on drugs” propaganda was in the 1980s and 1990s. At that time, the war on terrorism hadn’t yet begun, and the […]
Class Reductionists, Red/Brown Alliancers, and Maximal Culture Warriors are All Strengthening Pan-Secessionism
It’s like ATS now has a de facto mass army of inadvertent troops, comprised almost entirely of folks who have never heard of us and wouldn’t like us if they had. As most readers know, I have long been an advocate of a political realignment along decentralist vs. […]
