A Post-American Alliance in the North?
The United States today is a darker, crueler version of itself compared to where we were just over a year ago. Now, everyday, regular people are now considering the possibility of a “post-America” landscape, whether through a civil war or agreeable national divorce of some way.
According to the City Journal, “A new poll from the University of Virginia’s Center for Politics finds that large portions of the American public now favor blue and red states going their own ways to form separate countries.” If you think this is just something pundits and academics are talking about, you need to pay attention to those taking real actions towards a secessionist movement.
Geographically, it’s intriguing how Alberta and American states within its vicinity are making gradual moves towards some form of separation from their respective nations. For example, over the years there have been murmurings of eastern Washington separating itself from the rest of the state. Similarly, large parts of Oregon along with northeastern California and eastern Washington are toying with the idea of latching on to Idaho to form a Greater Idaho.
The aforementioned regions combined with states such as Wyoming and Montana form what survivalist blogger James Wesley Rawls labels as the American Redoubt — a movement of people who migrate to the rural northwest for the purpose of escaping big city life and states who are looking more like facsimiles of Washington, D.C. This would take the phrase “which way, western man?” To a whole new level.
Who can blame these people? Progressives have destroyed urban life throughout the country with violent crime, extreme costs of housing and living, poor performing schools and communities that have simply given up on themselves. We only have to look at the madness that occurred during the ANTIFA driven riots of 2020 to see the future of American city life.
The inner northwest of the US combined with an independent Alberta could perhaps form an independent block of political sanity and social cohesion on the North American continent as things only get more volatile. While any kind of separation is a long way away from ever coming into fruition, the very fact that people are discussing the idea shows that there's a growing feeling of transnational alienation among Canadians and Americans who have become fed up with their respective imperial centers’ political preferences.
A recent poll from the Western Standard Online shows that public sentiment is aiming in this direction, stating “As for public opinion on separating from Canada, a May 2020 poll by Northwest Research discovered that 41 percent of those surveyed are in favor of an independence referendum, while 50 percent are against the move and 9 percent are undecided.”
Another shocking new poll from the Center for Politics at the University of Virginia shows us that over half of Trump supporting voters surveyed, and 41% of Biden voters, are in favor of blue and/or red states seceding from the union.
Focusing on the family as the core unit of a community, economic populism, and respect for private property and individual rights are what the foundation of this new union could use to draw mass support throughout like-minded people searching for new opportunities outside of the totalitarianism we’re seeing race towards us all.
North America may be in the initial stages of a significant re-arrangement of borders. The northwest rural constituencies of the continent appear to be united in their discontent with their respective central and progressive governments. As identity politics and cultural marxism become increasingly embedded in major cities, the estrangement will intensify, thus making nullification, changing of borders, and even whole-sale moves towards independence look rational in comparison.
While secession is not happening overnight, the sentiment exists and will continue to grow if the US continues its socio-economic downward spiral.
