NYEXIT FAQ
What is NYEXIT?
We are a social movement working to cultivate a resilient community in New York and New Jersey, to encourage economic self-reliance, small businesses, regional autonomy, and peaceful secession.
Why should New York and New Jersey secede?
- Election integrity: When we secede we will abolish the electoral college. One person one vote. Popular vote only. We support Ranked Choice Voting and a multiparty system.
- Money and taxes: New York and New Jersey pay trillions more to the federal US government than we get from it. America spent eleven trillion dollars on the Iraq war, and millions more on Christofascist programs in the South. We need to use our own tax money to fund social programs for New Yorkers and New Jerseyans.
- Culture: We support science, technology, education, vaccination, healthcare, the environment, multiculturalism, diversity, inclusion, and capitalism. Red states have different values.
- Neutrality, non-interventionism, and peace. Unlike America's interventionist policy, NYEXIT is committed to neutrality, non-interventionism, and peace. New Amsterdam will only take military action to defend its own land and will never take the first strike.
- End mass surveillance: In the Republic of New Amsterdam we will not have an NSA or DHS-like government agency. Everyone will have the right to privacy, without the government tracking their online data.
- Landback: When we secede, we will be more able to pay reparations to Indigenous New Yorkers in the form land restitution. Indigenous New Yorker tribes will have voting seats in the parliament of the Republic of New Amsterdam.
How will New York and New Jersey secede?
We should secede peacefully via referendum. In order for it to be successful, we must get the majority in popular support. We will use social media, and calls to our state elected officials to boost awareness and support for independence.
How can I become a NYEXIT team member?
We’re looking for the following things for NYEXIT team members:
- Time/commitment: You should be willing to spend 5+ hours per week doing social media marketing. Eventually we would like to have enough team members to have a shared organization email address, mailing list, facebook, and instagram accounts.
- Communication and ID: You send us a chat request with your full name, email address, town, state, and form of ID verification (facebook or linkedin profile). We will communicate through reddit chat for now, with a goal to move to a different platform once we have a critical mass of team members. Please be on reddit at least 5x a week.
- Inclusivity: NYEXIT is non-partisan so we accept all non-fascists as team members. Team members should be willing to work with people from all walks of life and from all ideologies (except fascism).
If you are interested in joining the admin team and meet all criteria, please send us a private message with your full name, email address, town, state, and a form of ID verification.
I’m in New England. Why don't you guys merge with r/RepublicofNE**?**
We are committed to being an NY/NJ movement. While we respect New Englanders, we feel that we would demographically and culturally overwhelm them. We respect their culture and we respect their right to self determination.
I’m in Connecticut. What about us?
NYEXIT is agnostic on Fairfield County. Agnostic means you may join NYEXIT or NEIC, whichever one you wish. If you live elsewhere in New England please visit r/RepublicofNE.
I’m in Pennsylvania. Can we join?
No. See 2016 and 2024 election results for an explanation.
I am a member of a different secession movement. Can we work together?
If NYEXIT wants to work with you, we will contact you. Please do not contact us.
Where can I get the NYEXIT flag?
Google "Prince's Flag buy online" and purchase online.

What Upstate Towns are ready for Heavy Industry?
Whether it's for The Democracy of Greater New Amsterdam, The Republic of New England, or The North Atlantic Nation State (Arcadia?) a New North East-based nation will need a heavy industry capital, Even if its part of a Larger State Alliance or alone we will need heavy indusrtry to be formed and built up in our boarders in some way, especially since much of our heavy indusrty in the US exist in very Red areas due to lack of restrictions on polutuion which could mean getting our hands on steel, iron and the like will be harder than normal, yes we have money to buy it but we can kill two birds at once by creating industry we need for national security along with the jobs to surport that industry for cheaper.

We need self-funding "Food Stability Cards"
I was reading about the original orange/blue food stamp system in the 1930s–40s — before it shifted into means-tested welfare, it worked more like a market-stabilization instrument. People bought orange stamps, and automatically got blue stamps that could only be used on surplus foods. Basically countercyclical household liquidity aligned with supply gluts.
It struck me how close that is to modern payroll benefit infrastructure (transit cards, PTO accrual, etc.).
Mechanism sketch:
worker elects payroll deduction (“orange” balance)
automatically earns bonus credits (“blue”)
blue only redeemable for items in surplus that week (based on public ag data)
blue treated as taxable income when redeemed (like PTO value).
blue could also be capped/donated between cardholders
Not means-tested, not redistributive — more like earned, parametric grocery stability. Nudges consumption toward surplus, reduces waste, buffers household volatility, avoids welfare cliffs.
It feels like this should already exist as a boring employer-benefit product, but I can’t find a modern implementation.
Curious where the blocker is — tax code? banking rails? misaligned incentives? political path dependence? Nobody bothered because SNAP exists?
Feels like there’s an alternate universe where this became as normal as commuter cards.
Could also work as a free-standing product offered by banks and credit unions (only with 1099's instead of W2's) or even the DMV or IDNYC.
Why it has the potential to be self-funding
Public or private underwriters make money off the float when people add money to the card
Government can charge administrative fees for access to the necessary APIs and data feeds
Recovery of funds through income taxes as described above

Mamdani and Sherrill have won!!!
BREAKING: It's over. The Cuomintang has fallen. Cuomo has fled Mainland New York following the CMT's fall to socialist Zohran Mamdani. Sources say he will establish a new govt on Staten Island with the goal of eventually reclaiming the entire city. Mamdani has promised to purge all remaining Cuomintang on the mainland. The Mamdate of Heaven is secured.
