White supremacists are calling for a “peaceful separation” from the United States — and a ban on people of color moving to New England
A neo-Nazi front group is demanding that New England secede and establish itself as a white nation. Decrying “enemies” that are “all around us” and vowing to defend racial “integrity,” the People’s Initiative of New England published a revolutionary manifesto on July 27 advocating “separation from the United States of America.”
Luckily, one of the leaders of this movement in Eastern WA, Matt Shea, has kind of fallen off the face of the earth after being outed as a right wing nut job and alleged terrorist. I wouldn't be shocked at all to learn this movement is regrouping and will rear its ugly head again in the near future.
Honestly I kind of like the idea of these nutjobs all congregating in one place, and it sounds like they're even volunteering to bow out of US politics. I can't help but view this as an absolute win. If all the sane people also move out of that area we can maybe even take a page from the racists own playbook and just build a wall around them.
This sounds a lot like the State of Jefferson, which was/is supposed to be mad made up of southern Oregon and northern California. They've been talking about that idea since the early 1900's
