    Sounds like an announcement of intent, from here.

      The south can rise again if it wants, but next time it gets put down for good. No more half assing with these racist goons.

        Let them leave. They aren’t worth the trouble at this point. They barely grow any ag, they don’t provide much to the economy, and they have the highest levels of incarceration by multiples and the worst quality of education. The US would be closer to Sweden in most metrics if we got rid of the south.

            In what way does the US exploit the south in particular?

                That’s not the United States exploiting them. It’s their employers exploiting them and them not unionizing because they’ve been brainwashed into thinking unions are bad.

                  And the federal government has the power to not let that sort of exploitation happen. But we do

                    While we should be doing more to protect and support unionization, when results are different based on where you are, those people need to take some responsibility. I know some of the conservative states have it tough, but they operate under the same federal laws that Michigan does for autoworkers.

                  How do you not think that the government isn’t the capitalist state? The one who regulates commerce among capitalists, and those rules get put in by input from the collective capitalists. They are one and the same.

                    You may want to work on your double negatives.
