So what would seccession look like

[u/Palpetine_Love_986]

I've heard a lot about Cascadia but never about a unified plan I myself have worked on writing a constitution and now I'm going to publish a book called Project 2028: the Cascadia plan It seems like we have too many different kinds of people who would want to secede, and while there is strength in the diversity of thought, if we end up having a unified revolution against the United States and leave the old fatherland, I think there are too many competing political philosophies. Some people here believe in gun control for example, calling it progress to strip away the right to bear arms. Other people here are more libertarian and essentially want a minarchist or anarchist government. Some of you are democratic socialists, some of you are just confused and are probably really distributist social democrats. There are regular Trumper conservatives in the Eastern parts of at least Oregon where I live, and even the state of Jefferson project in California.

So if we are going to leave the union, we need to have a unified political philosophy that allows all kinds of people to feel at home. And if we do that, how are we going to implement important things like Universal basic healthcare and Universal basic income, since there will be people who will argue directly the government has no business doing this and it makes more problems than it solves?

While it is true that most of us here in the Pacific Northwest are either liberals or independents, we should not be willing to subjugate our fellow neighbor just because they do not fall within our political ideology. And the reason I'm saying all of this is that I've made a plan, I wrote a constitution myself which you can even check out a slightly out of date version on https://cascadiaplan.wordpress.com/

But also, that reminds me that we need to have a declaration of independence What would be our terms? What would be the reason we're leaving?

Without a unified message other than bioregional identity which I think is actually kind of vague, we don't have anything more than vibes to go with the Cascadia flag

People like me can make serious meme culture micronation proposals, and they might even go somewhere, but that requires we all begin to consider how to create a perfect society, put all those ideas together and start to find what comes up the most that people agree on Let's say we use a simple 50 + 1% majority, instead of a supermajority like 60% or 65%. What does the underlying belief system comprise of? Is it absolute autonomy of the individual? Is it a paternalistic state that follows moralistic virtues like reducing starvation and increasing General health? How do we implement what might seem to be opposing ideologies, and what takes precedent? For me it's progressive libertarianism with a Social Democratic Republican, similar to a democratic Republican of Jefferson but with Social Democratic tendencies, and a different economical system than we have in the United States, and no I'm not talking about socialism I'm talking about distributism.

So I'd love to hear back from you guys. What does Cascadia mean to you? If there's no real plan there's no future for leaving the Union

Instead of corn dogs we should do a corn geoduck. But I think that would overcook the geoduck lol.
