On the bright side, if the USA split up because of internal tensions it would probably be easier for individual states to turn socialist, and that would have a ripple effect around them each time

The US could never actually do that though. Libs love to compromise and to simp for the republicans.

Even if it didn’t, a balkanized US is better for the world regardless of the politics of those Balkanized states.

I'd rather the americans bomb each other than bomb random people around the world

Won’t it just lead to nuclear war

USSR was Balkanized without nuclear war

Even if it did, it’s a band aid we have to rip off eventually

I don't think so. Post-Soviet Russia had a lot nasty internal struggles like the war in Chechnya and nuclear weapons never went off then.

[–] Saeculum@hexbear.net 6 points 2 years ago

Chechnya had no access to nuclear weapons.
