Were his vision were transpire--the US to separate into sovereign city states--there would no longer be a cohesive defense. The PLA would roll up his city states, one after the other, in very short order. Yarvin is oblivious.

If Democrats want to regain working people, they must disavow Big Money. They must hammer economic populism — and have a laser focus on the cost of living crisis in America. There’s no way the party can speak for or represent the working class in America if it's beholden to corporate interests.

Big Oil profits have skyrocketed since Trump launched his Iran War — leading to a $93B windfall for the eight biggest oil companies in Q2 2026 alone. Meanwhile, Trump himself has raked in up to $15.5M from his fossil fuel investments since January. Don't forget what this was really all about.
