San Francisco ain’t commandeering shit 🤣
This is basically how the country was meant to operate. Power was supposed to be at the state and local levels. States were supposed to govern their own people and make their own decisions independent of the federal government. The federal government was supposed to provide (limited) oversight, protect our rights, and provide safety
Even now how we see the president as the "Leader" of the nation, when his role is more of "overseeing", except we gave him the power to command the military.
That IS how it works. So happy us!
To add to that. Government was never meant to control all of our money either but it seems after generations of greed from our leaders who pick away piece by piece at the very economy we built for ourselves. Putting our hard earned money right into their own families pockets AS IF WE OWE THEM SOMETHING?! I mean seriously. Think about it. At some point a man sitting behind a desk, with clean hands, decides he oughta be worth more than the average working citizen, not because he works harder than them, just because his name has a title next to it. He’s “special”. Typically the leader in any kind of group is the last one to eat. Not the first, let alone the second third and fourth.. until there’s nothing but crumbs left for us working people, the same working people who get up every single day and agree to uphold this blatantly biased system that only benefits those above us. Congrats! you worked 50 hours of hard labour this week, just so the government can pay an overweight white man, who does nothing for you, twice as much. He also gets more vacation days than you, apparently getting home at 3 o’clock everyday isn’t enough vacation?? Geez I sure thought it was!
Unfortunately we did nothing while our federal government became more and more powerful.
@@CrimeForCrimetell that to the ATF, FDA, EPA, CIA, FBI, and CDC.
Your the man Theo!!!
Stav reinvents human history.
Not only was Algeria a French colony but it was also actually a part of France until the sixties
member when usa made up liberia
They’re paying for that shit now though
I think it will eventually be split up into 5 regional countries with a union like Europe. We can't go on like this, where no one agrees, and corrupt people fight for power.
I would be down for that. It could allow for better management and governance for those areas, but it could also not have much of an effect considering global capitalism seems to be a force of nature that is borderless.
@@ChandlerSavage lets hope it doesnt require a civil war. buy and clean your guns. stock up on apocalypse supplies. you can always eat them if nothing happens XD
America is a *huge* continent & an American is from the Continent of America.
There are *many* countries on the Continent of America!
Rome conquered & ruled for 1000 years. The Europeans conquered America & are breaking apart not even 250 years later.
@@RipPimpCScrewstonTX similar downfall: overextended military conquests and political corruption at home. It's the fate of every democratic republic. The rich and powerful always take over. They even make new laws to suppress the people and increase their power. It's unsustainable.
The Congo vs Belgium soccer matches must be wild
Good thing is that these endless and useless wars of Imperial aggression would finally cease.
To visiting non-Americans, America already feels like this
Born and raised in Texas.. we're good 😂
Clearly most of usa is not like california and that we can reflect on.
There would probably be 5 to 8 major coalitions but I think that it could work.
There was actually a book written about how that works culturally:
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Nine_Nations_of_North_America
Respect on the Jeff Gordon jacket Theo! 24ever!
This baby worked on the coast as a fisherman a couple years, picked up some sailor jargon
Our country was built on the right to secede. It’s literally in the declaration of independence as a God-given right to Abolish an old, formal government, and establishing day one for no other reason, then the pursuit of happiness
As true as it is no state even a one you’d expect to try to secede like Texas won’t because they know it’s better for the country as a whole and them to be united
How did that attempt turn out for the South?
@@subo88how did it go for the colonizers that broke away from Europe
I think California would definitely become its own country maybe also combined with Oregon. Texas is without a doubt going to be its own country. Same with Alaska and Hawaii for obvious reasons. I also think Florida would become its own country. As for the rest I think certain states would group together culturally. You’d have your Rocky Mountain states, Midwest states, desert sw states, Appalachian states, New England states, etc. I’m sure things wouldn’t get cut perfectly at state lines either as geographically and culturally states aren’t always perfectly consistent.
California, Oregon, Washington would instantly be a coalition.
@@travisboyd6272 I could see Hawaii also joining in solidarity and for the friendlier ideologies/politics and for commonwealth reasons. The "Pacific Coalition" would control the Pacific ocean and trade routes to the East. They would probably become the wealthiest "country" on the planet.
Texas already has its own Texas Military Department and we are building a base on the southern border. We are also considering TEXIT. Succession. I’ve signed the petition!
As an albanian, the albanian jokes were hilarious 😂😂🇦🇱
I WANT THIS
All the Red States would have to turn off the lights at nite.
50 countries would be awesome
the states would end up grouping up into small units and fighting each other
Common currency, federal military, federal taxes to maintain roads bridges and basic infrastructure, but states make their own laws on everything - no withholding of federal tax dollars for infrastructure based on states laws.
Everyone would still be trying to move to FL & Texas
It would be nice if you can just move to a state that you identify with the same values. It would actually bring us together as a nation if everyone could choose to live the life on their own core beliefs and just come together as a nation when we all need to protect are overall belief of Freedom which what this country was built on.
This might have sounded segregating but people would be a lot less hateful people towards people with a different ideology or lifestyle if they could pick a place to live that agrees with how they want to live.
For context I live in California the Silicon Valley to be specific and have my whole life of 31 years. Not only is their to much BS sympathy in this state but my 1 Bedroom Apartment costs 2800. Should I not want to move states? @@N238E
Why did I even waste my time responding the only two playlists you have on your channel are "Ukraine" and "Israel" @@N238E
Like it start when immigrants first came over here. Stayed with their own
The problem is some people who live there and don’t like it, who try to change it from the inside instead of moving away.
The rest of the country doesn't want the whiny conservatives from california, dude. You're free to get the fuck outta here, but don't think that the texans or whatever are going to like you any more than we do.
Splitting would be really bad. Not only would states probably go to method where you need a certain id to travel to another state but civil war would probably happen. People would migrate to other states for better opportunities and stuff because I don’t think Alabama and other states like it could self sustain they don’t create a lot of gdp like California or New York does.
But they do create a lot of food which big states like new york need.
states which have received more in federal funding than they pay in taxes (like california, Dakotas, alabama, etc) would be hurt but states which have always received less in benefits than they paid in taxes (like texas, colorado, alaska, etc) would benefit and actually get a surplus in a way, have more money to spend on their own people. Additionally, I'd assume that the military would just serve for the state they are from (that's how it was at the last civil war) so Texas and california would each get about 1/3 of the current military, and the rest would be divided into the states they are from
@@jansonshrock2859 You really think a third of the military would decide to fight for california? I definitely don't think so.
Unless of course california also split from north and south.
@@jansonshrock2859 No. The bases would just go to the state they are in.
I Fuuuck with this
Kansas, Oklahoma, and Texas would team up. I figure they could conquer the whole area in a few months.
NO!
Texas must and will stand alone!
No more unions!
TEXIT!
Not Florida
With who?
Missouri and Arkansas as well
@@mike93eh welcome to the team.
Im glad y'all are enjoying the end of days, its good to see
“End of days” she says hahahahahahaha
@@CrimeForCrime are you retarded?
Only thing keeping the USA together is the US Petro Dollar. Once that goes, so goes the nation.
Then introspect, deeply for a little self respect and some pride and maybe these ignorant views will change. Good luck
Why not just split it through the Maxon Dixon line again and remake the Confederacy but based on politics rather than slavery?
This is so funny.
Definitely not 50 countries, but if the regions broke into about a half-dozen countries it would make sense. Like the New England states would be one country, for example. No one thinks the "country of Rhode Island" would make a lot of sense.
we say this but places like Monaco exist etc. The reality is is that we really do not know what that scenario would realistically look like. You are probably likely to see some coalitions of states, but you are also likely to see some states just bully others into submission due to culture war, economics, etc. We really do not know. NY is a perfect example, as in the state itself there are 3 distinct cultural, political, and economic regions that already have tons of static and infighting, magnify that to the entirety of the north east and it is insane. Economic deals etc is all a MASSIVE balancing act already when we all are in the same country with the same legal framework and all want to cooperate, if we were to have to fight over resources as separate entities it would go bad quick.
Anyone who teamed with texas would be the most powerful in the region. First thing texas will have to do in that situation is reclaim new mexico and as a new mexican im here for it. Get rid of these conceal carry permits homie
As a gay man, I totally agree with Stav. I don't know what he's talking about, but I agree.
What about nuclear weapons though? How does that change this theoretical split?
in short yall would have civil wars...
That's coming no matter what.
States would've have to depend on federal funding if the federal government was operating the way it was designed and the 10th amendment was actually operational.
This is a terrible idea….. fuck it let’s try it
already is
US is definitely so big and diverse that it really cannot be a democracy. If you broke it up so much more of the populace could get what they want, more individual autonomy, more freedom.
More freedom for some. California and New York would strip themselves of their rights and logic. It's already being seen now.
@@michaelflake3730yeah they do strip themselves of their rights but usa is so free that you can hitchhike out that bitch and go play real life gta messing with alligator in florida for pennies on the dollar like a real man and listen brother im all about that. You buy a gun halfway across incase you need it. thats like some secret agent man type stuff compared to what happens everywhere else in the world where its very hard to do that. You show up in texas theyre like "fill out this form and wait a moment" and thats it you got whatever gun you want probably one that can kill an alligator if it gets ahold of you. Or a serial killer coming after you real life gta all over the world bro most people are the npcs forced to walk around defensless getting ran down. Even in texas. Many many defensless people that just goes to show lots of progress can be made. Things luke bullets and body armor are technically in infancy in the grand scheme and many people even uf theyre lucky their guns are like wild west era. A lot of relics not anyhting for actual worst case scianrio freedom fighting
@@michaelflake3730 california would be so much better off independent it's not even funny. most of the south would be fucked though, completely reliant on federal handouts.
Beach taxes
Call’n the new country of FLAM: Florida, Louisiana Alabama, Mississippi (might take a little South Georgia ; ). FLAM has good farmland and deep ports. And already has a great military base system to work with. And FLAM likes the border with our strong neighbor Texas.
Oh look gay icon , Stavros
People always speak of democracy as if it is the best form of government, and they love to say 🇺🇸 is a democracy. The reality is 🇺🇸 is a constitutional republic which maybe doesn’t sound as heartwarming but when you think about it, republic > democracy. Minorities guaranteed representation in a republic. In a democracy, the majority is all that matters.
ky robi na qiu fare me rob shpie😂
War like a mug
May the odds be ever in your favor - Texas
Is he really saying Al-geria
*This was the original concept of the US! “The United States” was essentially a “NATO” deal.
We also had a dictator here is Louisiana. Wouldn't be surprised if we revert to that. Still a lot of Huey P. Long supporters here.
You need that shiny blue saturn jacket.Are you trying to imitate an 80s cringe high school boy
NY would take over. They would want to work with NYC Business.
You could split the 4 corners, Nevada, and southern California into a very interesting country lol.
As long as my home new mexico goes back into texas so yall cant deny im a texan in the dna. Homeland birthed from its loins
@@TheAnnoyingBoss sorry boss, texas, new mexico, arizona, and southern california are all getting gifted back to mexico. adios amigo!
Federal government was never supposed to be this large and overbearing
I haven’t heard anything this awesome out of any Berkeley, MIT, UA-cam
Wisconsin had the same thing happen as Louisiana with the drinking age thing. They ended up cutting our road funding hahaha. The dumbass kids from Illinois ruined it because they would drive to Wisconsin. Get drunk, and drive back to Illinois
That sounds about right. People from Illinois screw up a lot of stuff
Now you're asking the real questions.
When California plays against Georgia they are really playing against Georgia 😂…. That already happens and a people get animalistic
They already have a “patch”. It’s called a rainbow
I'm fine with shutting down this whole shitshow
More State control and less Federal government is called being a Republican. Good idea
Lol, maybe sixty years ago. Theres no world anyone lives in today where the GOP is against federal control. Ship trump and the gops 2025 plan is just nonstop federal bullcrap.
That just leads to babies being killed in california and not texas
If the United States split into 50 countries we would instantly start going to war with each other
Conquer Fest 😂
CA and NY would instantly be the overlords $$$$
Idaho is ready for it lol
Nah
Division 3 here 😂 iykyk
Hi Theo big fan here from the Sip, just on the other side of the border near Covington. Louisiana is far more in debt than MS. MS is actually very fiscally responsible almost to a fault.
Nah, your state is saved by federal funding year after year actually. Saved by blue states that actually make money for our country and not just need to live off other states’ economy’s and donations.
It’s not a blue state red state argument my simple friend. It’s about balancing your budget.
We dont need any more divisiveness, we already have race and religion and sex preference, and political affiliation, and age demographic, and economical demographic, and geographic diehard, and how abortion rights sides, and self defense activision vs anti gun, and on pro oil vs environmentalists, and we already have soo many things dividing us we don't need one more.
The smaller states are boned
I agree but also how fair is it really for a state to be run so badly it requires funding from other states that have their shit straight, just like actually capitalism, if it doesn’t work well enough to generate profit it should be reworked to actually succeed not have a bunch of handouts which pretty much incentives inefficiency
the states will seporate, the poorly run foolish will divide from the rich well run...for the best if you are into being modern, ditch the stupidity
Texas would need kick all the wierdos out of Austin, then take over Oklahoma Louisiana Arkansas and Colorado.
Wish Theo would come up with 50 jokes. He’s a great guy, don’t get me wrong. Just insanely dumb and lucky. Billie Eilish should be his sister. No talent, pure luck.
Absolutely no disrespect but is anyone else uncomfortable with that dudes face/body?
ayyyyyyyyyyyy
Ironically, 50 separate state governments is actually how the country was originally designed to be, lol
No it wasn’t 😂
Strength in numbers. Stay together. Or else the state with the most nukes starts calling the shots
Absurd!
America is a *huge* continent & an American is from the Continent of America.
There are *many* countries on the Continent of America!
The trans-actions put the rainbow patch on already themselves.
Algeria could not f*ck up France if they tried. In war or in a sport. All hail Europe!
Weird vibes from theo's guest
I decided i don't like him
I lose IQ points every time I listen to this guy.
The word state means country. We are 50 countries that are united.
This whole conversation showed how stupid the average American is.
Barely united.
The people that are talking about seperating being a good idea are idiots. With that logic you would have been a confederate if you lived in early america
Stupid idea. We the People of The United States must stay strong together United. Everyone from these political podcasts especially on the internet thinks The United States is Divided but IRL & in the Real World we’re more United than ever. I know our system isn’t perfect and it could use some improvements in some areas of the government. But we Americans we live like Kings & Queens compared to other places in the world today. Lady Liberty we love you and thank you for everything 🇺🇸🤘🏻
Have you read the Declaration of Independence? Any American Who thinks this country was not built on the right to secede has not done their homework. It is considered a God-given right for people to abolish their government, and establish a new form of government for such a little reason as the pursuit of happiness
The country is being deliberately divided by the media and certain powers with an agenda but it’s working less and less on people. The way the country is going right now it won’t survive another 4 years of this.
If the US splits then it would be captured by China and Russia in no time. They are already working towards that goal.
That ship has sailed. I'd rather my state government be my government.
the homeless marines lmao
I love the idea of going back to state sovereignty. This federal government is completely out of control and should be dismantled. Give it back to the states. I'm with you 100%.
How dumb can we try to be…get it together buddy
When you say we, you are referring to you and who I am not dumb. Not even in the slightest, my friend.
You should work on You're Self-esteem, don't call yourself dumb. Maybe you are ignorant, you know, Mentally lazy, misguided. Listening to other people instead of listening to yourself. But to call yourself dumb is not fair to your soul. Remember that next time you are having problems with your self-esteem, God bless you. Fight the power, don't feed into it.
Please don't have this dude on anymore. I'm not sure who would actually pay to hear anything dude has to say.
Love Theotis though...
