    Texas successfully secedes from the union then immediately has another civil war and fractures into 14 competing microstates run by oil and gas tycoons.

    I really wanna survive long enough to see the US go through Balkanization, not because I think it would be a good thing and I would probably end up getting merked by some 19 year old dipshit wearing American flag crocs, but because it would be really funny in a fucked up kind of way.

      It certainly would be one of the most deserved things in human history so far. It may not be kosher for me to say it, and the probable human tragedy is a concern in some degree (though all of it, and the circumstances leading up to it, are wholly self-inflicted as well), but it’s true

      If Texas no longer has the protection of the US military the cartel owns the state in 2 weeks.

      It would be a place with no functional government and the cartel could get their stuff directly into 4 states with Colorado and Kansas being 30 empty miles away.

      Texas would just be the battleground for the war between America and rhe cartel.

      If the US shattered and balkanized there are entire hemispheres of humanity that would benefit. It would be a good thing.
