Sci-Fi Americas: Raimondo takes up the meme

Libertarian commentator Justin Raimondo has taken up the secession meme, arguing that America has never truly been a nation, but in fact a confederation of different cultures with different customs:

A nation is, after all, more than a state: it derives its identity from a common culture, one that is largely shared by all citizens, including not only language but a certain mindset rooted in custom and economic convenience.

Untied to GOP dogma, Raimondo points out that the states with the most militant anti-"socialists" are actually the biggest beneficiaries of socialism in the form of tax injustice:

However, when this cohesion is lacking – when tax-eating states, say, are arrayed against tax-producing states; or, to put it another way, when red states come up against blue states – longstanding allegiances are called into question and old bonds begin to dissolve.

The corporate media has been deliberately suppressing those statistics. If you start seeing stories emerge on this disparity, that might be a sign something is on the way. In the meantime, watch Brave New World for a sneak preview of our possible future...
