    I’m assuming you meant strongest and autocorrect gibbed you. But yeah absolutely there’s discontent. My point was more about where that discontent is placed. For a lot of people it’s placed at some abstract thing, for others it’s at some invisible elite, and other still the very visible elite

    You’d need enough agreement to bridge the gaps there. Which seems feasible locally but not so much state-wide and definitely not nationally

    Part of the problem is those specific tools require enough of a consensus from the populous to see wide use. There’s a schism in the states in what is considered reality rn. So either that schism will continue or something will somehow reunite us. We’ve already seen the relationship between state level government and federal government become publicly hostile. So the smart money is probably on the former. If things continue the fed won’t go away or get reformed, it will just become less and less trusted by states who oppose it

    Depending on your political philosophy this might be for the better in the long run even if rn sucks . But the big elephant in the room is that no state (no not even Texas or California), is economically able to cede. The biggest and most obvious issues are water and food. If you can’t figure out where to get those other than the states you oppose or the fed you don’t trust, then you’re screwed

    So yeah I don’t think we’re in any sort of unified resistance era despite what Lemmy likes to suggest. Each state is too reliant on each other state. The slow grinding decay will continue on far longer than anyone wants
