A good rule is the more united an area of the map looks like, the less likely the person who drew it lived there.

Atlanta and the strip of cities between it and durham would probably be there own sovereign.

But there are a ton of people I remember from the Carolina's who were all hard up for dukes of hazard and treason flag trucks.

The problem with the balkanization idea is that most of the differences between people that would lead to such a thing are based on ideology. It's not "the north vs. the south" or "this semi-autonomus region vs. the rest" it's cities vs. everywhere else. It would be such a clusterfuck.

The I95 corridor would have to be one long dick shaped country with hostile neighbors to the west and sometimes east (until Richmond at least)

Have you been to any of the major cities in the south recently? Atlanta for instance is pretty dramatically anti chud.

Atlanta has had a Democratic mayor for the past 50 years and they're blue as gently caress. State is red but Atlanta is blue.

This is pretty much it if we ever get to that point but if we haven't already gotten there, I am not sure we ever will without it getting much, much worse.

This is a dick thing of me to say, but if someones solution to child jails and child deportations is to protest and wait for the next election then they approve of the system we have that allows for this kinda horrible poo poo.

I only know of one place that has done a reboot on their system and it was a mexican town plagued with political and police corruption as well as gangs.

They kicked out all of the politicians and police from the town, set up a militia border check, and started from the ground up.

We will probably never even get to that without it getting much, much worse.

I look at that map off to the right and i think

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x-iZgkkGuME

America is an irradiated wasteland.
Within it lies a city. Outside the boundary walls, a desert.
A cursed earth.

Inside the walls, a cursed city, stretching from Boston to Washington D.C.
An unbroken concrete landscape. 800 million people living in the ruin of the old world and the mega structures of the new one.
Mega blocks. Mega highways. Mega City One.
Convulsing.

Choking.

Breaking under its own weight.

Citizens in fear of the street. The gun. The gang.

Only one thing fighting for order in the chaos: the men and women of the Hall of Justice. Juries. Executioners. Judges.

This is from a few years back, but if you mix diesel fuel in equal parts with kerosene and motor oil (1:1:1) it makes something called Vegan Barbecue Sauce. Supposedly it burns hot enough to collapse most structure frames and the fumes are toxic enough that the fire department won't touch it.

I've never seen it personally, but it's supposed to burn a car to it's core in 15 mins flat.

Just recreate the march to the sea, but when you hit 285, split and go around the city core, because the people inside the perimeter are ok. Just about everything outside the perimeter would have to go though.

What is the process that allows those to become a trinary superchemical? You'd think it would have more uses than the one listed.

e: or did I get snookered by a "source your quote" post?

ee: VVVV yep, recreating crude without the bunker oil. The viscosity of oil will help with sticking to vertical surfaces, diesel's longer burn time will help with getting surrounding flammable material to ignite, and kerosene will make the initial ignition easier. (But mixing them all together will make each's advantage less effective)
