3.8% of Taiwanese want to declare independence, yet numbers of people in US who want their state to secede are in double digits in most states. Therefore, China should help them achieve that. Right?(lemmygrad.ml)

It’s crazy just how high these numbers are, the lowest is 13%. I wouldn’t have guessed it was so bad.

Yeah, I didn’t realize just how volatile the situation was either.

With that much separatism America wouldn’t recover from a second civil war.

I had a hunch that the recent situation with Texas disobeying the federal government and involving the Texan national guard was very under reported for how bad the situation seems for America This kind of confirm my intuition.

I imagine a lot of US mythology feeds into this actually. People are brought up thinking that US is built on rugged individualism, and to mistrust any sort of a central government. So, it’s only natural that they will increasingly blame the federal government for their problems as they start falling on increasingly hard times.
