History lesson for the secession larpers:
Three Kingdoms Period in China = millions dead from war and genocide.
Anyone romanticizing splitting up the US needs to understand this isn't some peaceful divorce scenario. It's total war, then ethnic cleansing.
The balkanization fantasy ignores how quickly neighbor turns on neighbor when central authority collapses. Yugoslavia. Rwanda. Syria.
You don't get clean borders and trade agreements. You get resource wars, refugee crises, and mass graves.
The USD as global reserve currency? Gone. Your portfolio? Worthless. Supply chains? Obliterated.
Political grievances feel huge until you're rationing food and dodging checkpoints.
Separatism sounds romantic until it's your city under siege.
