billymg: what writers like this miss is that poor e.g. venezuelan families serve as fine cover for the military-aged young men |
| 13:22 |

it's not one or the other. cause a huge flood of poor beobles, plant your killers in the midst. |

> The picture below doesn’t show any poor huddled masses yearning to breathe free. It’s a well-funded army of mercenaries that only lacks weapons and orders to take action. |

I'm commenting on how everyone tries to make the part of the thing they care about the only part these days. |
| 13:23 |

to the detriment of their own argument. |
| 13:23 |
billymg |
ah, sure, bit of hyperbole |

I understand you realize this but am commenting on the article itself |
| 13:23 |
billymg |
right right |
| 13:24 |

personally i think the poor beobles can also fuck off back to their own side, good intentions or no |

airstrike anyone who crosses the border and it will stop immediately. |

they'd need to beef up the state military substantially. couldn't even defend against mexico currently. people larp about texas having a large one for a US state, but it ain't shit when measured against countries. |

would sooner expect that I end up in el salvador in 5-10yrs if they keep it up. |
| 14:05 |

afaik the only plausible path to texistan is if finally standoff with reich regular army and some % of the latter defects |
| 14:06 |
signpost |
yep, in context of a huge economic bust or similar devolutionary crisis |
| 14:06 |
asciilifeform |
bust already here neh |
| 14:07 |
signpost |
bust-ish, but feds apparently still somewhat operational. I'd expect more loss of general order required for texas to break free without an immediate us.mil occupation |
| 14:08 |
asciilifeform |
variant where 'occupants -- out, or we torch the wells' would be interesting |

current texan ruling class is not imaginative enough to e.g. start settling business in the port of houston in bitcoin |
| 14:09 |
asciilifeform |
q is whether there even is a meaningful 'tx ruling class' entity |
