Secession: The Constitutional, Historical, and Moral Case

SHOCKING Number Of Americans Want To Secede From The Union

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 […]
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. By Karol Markowicz New York Post Is it time for a national divorce? The idea has understandably gained steam — though it can’t possibly work and shouldn’t. […]
National Divorce Is Expensive, But It’s Worth Every Penny
By David Reaboi The National Divorce discussion prepares the ground for crucial thinking about what comes next in America, as the country grows even more divided, bitter, and angry. For the last several years, I’ve been among a handful of commentators (along with good friends Michael Malice, Jesse […]
The impractical but plausible fantasy of a national divorce
W. James Antle III, The Week Citing irreconcilable differences, many commentators on both sides of the red-blue divide have begun channeling country singer Tammy Wynette and contemplating a national divorce. The sentiment appears strongest on the right. Claremont Institute fellow David Reaboi warns of a future in which “the […]

That and a closely related topic, the radicalization […]
The New Secession Movement

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 […]
Majority of Trump Voters Want to Split the Nation Into ‘Red’ and ‘Blue’ Halves
Approximately 52% of Trump voters (about 38 million of 74 million people) and 40% of Biden (about 32 million of 80 million people) now hold at least casual pan-secessionist sympathies. My guess is that the percentage of non-voters (about another 80 million) with a favorable view of pan-secession […]

Majority Of Trump Voters Favor Blue States Seceding To Form New Country
This latest poll indicates the greatest amount of support I have seen to date for macro-level pan-secession. The speaker in the video is correct that simply dividing the nation into a Blue country and a Red country is impractical. We need far more diversity and decentralization than that. […]
Why the U.S. will fragment into smaller countries
By La Resistance Media The Balkanization of the Union It is not news that there are irreconcilable political, economic, and cultural divisions in the U.S. What makes these divisions a force of fragmentation, or social cleavages, is that these tend to overlap between each other and a geographical […]

David French’s New Book Arguing That the U.S. Will Break Apart Is Too Optimistic
David French, a Bill Kristol flunkie, is concerned an American breakup will ruin the neocons’ plans for world domination.

The Boogaloo movement has a new strategy
These guys appear to be an actual on-the-ground, pan-anarchist, pan-secessionist movement. And whether left-wing anarchists like these guys or not, left-wing anarchists who are developing mutual aid networks of their own or creating separatist movements like CHAZ are in the club as well. I suspect that as pan-secessionist […]

Texas Nationalists See Secession Looming. Does Anyone Else?
Secessionist sympathy has nearly doubled in the last decade. Micro-level and intermediate-level secessionist actions have taken place.

Is This Where Secession Begins?
The earliest polls concerning the popularity of modern secessionist movements began in the late 2000s at the end of the George W. Bush era. At that time, about 1 in 5 Americans expressed a casual sympathy for secession. Now it’s up to almost 2 in 5. However, no […]
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. […]

Why It’s Time to Take Secessionist Talk Seriously
By Richard Kreitner, The New York Review Disunion is hardly a new theme in American politics. In this moment of tumult, it would be unwise to rule out its return. fter what even Republican Senate leader Mitch McConnell called, with surprising accuracy, a “failed insurrection” at the United […]
Chris Hedges – What Will Trigger Revolution in America?
There is no one in leadership currently on the so called “Left” has the will or the intestinal fortitude to stand up to the ruling class. Even if there was someone who was capable of fighting back, that person would be immediately eliminated… So we’re screwed!
Secession: Not When or Why But How?

Billionaire hatches ambitious plan to create an entire new city in the US
As concepts like startup societies and pan-secessionism become more pervasive, it is likely that such activities will originate from many different sources, including billionaire philanthropists, communes, religious communities, eco-villages, and many other things. By Adam Williams New Atlas American entrepreneur Marc Lore has revealed an incredibly ambitious plan to […]
The United States so reviles itself, it might actually break up
Increasingly, I am coming across more and more articles of this kind, both in the liberal and conservative media, including in publications like GQ that aren’t primarily political. When I first started promoting the idea of pan-secessionism, most sympathizers were, as Matthew Lyons pointed out, “a wide variety […]
Billionaire hatches ambitious plan to create an entire new city in the US
This is obviously a mixed bag because it is reminiscent of the “company towns” of the industrial revolution but, big picture-wise, I believe this helps fuel the pan-secessionist strategic paradigm in the same way that CHAZ/CHOP was a step in the right direction from the other side of […]
Will The United States BREAK UP?
Some interesting commentary from a hardline Red Tribe perspective. When all mainstream institutions are captured, is the right answer to break up from the techno-fascist state?

Will the US ever break up into smaller, more philosophically homogeneous countries?

Toyota just started building a 175-acre smart city at the base of Mount Fuji in Japan. Photos offer a glimpse of what the ‘Woven City’ will look like.
There is an upside and a downside to this kind of thing. On one hand, I am all for private cities as an alternative to states. On the other hand, many of these could end up being modern versions of feudal fiefdoms or company towns during the industrial […]

Your Next Government?: From the Nation State to Stateless Nations
Governments across the globe have begun evolving from lumbering bureaucracies into smaller, more agile special jurisdictions – common-interest developments, special economic zones, and proprietary cites. Private providers increasingly deliver services that political authorities formerly monopolized, inspiring greater competition and efficiency, to the satisfaction of citizens-qua-consumers. These trends suggest […]

Which Model of Pan-Secession is Best?
My guess is that the constituents for pan-secession will include conservatives who do not feel they can ever win under the current system but do not want to go down the road of overt authoritarianism, liberals and leftists who have a “better off without them” attitude toward conservatives, […]
Reflections on “Allying with Fascists”

We should chop America up into 7 different countries. Seriously.
