Probably because life is actually decent in places like Chicago, Detroit, or NYC, where people actually have work ethic and at least pretend to follow the law. You head down south toward cities like Atlanta or New Orleans, and the local crime families basically run the show more than the cops do. I even read somewhere that these mobs post hit lists of "troublesome" officers right out in the open. It's like something straight out of a bad situation in Mexico. The folks up North are fed up with dealing with all that mess, which is likely why they want out. But honestly, it’s not happening... there's just no momentum behind it.

So, how exactly are you calling people "separatist bastards" when your own description paints them as people who live well, have work ethic and a respect for the law compared to those Southern mobsters?

blueranger2 said:Given how much ground those Northern League separatists have been gaining lately, do you guys think a breakup of the Italian Republic is actually on the cards in the next 50 years or so? I saw a report where even a Berlusconi-esque figure's wife claimed that Italy was never truly a unified nation to begin with—which is a bit of a stretch, if you ask me—and suggested it hasn't quite matured enough to stay that way.👎

I don't see Italy splitting up anytime in the next 50 years.

Here's why:

1.) For starters, there just isn't a critical mass of people actually backing separatism.

2.) Even the Northern League politicians throwing around threats about breaking away from the Po Valley aren't actual separatists; they're just pushing for devolution—basically moving power from the federal level down to the states, making them federalists instead.

3.) All that separatist talk from the Northern League is really just performative bullshit, which is pretty typical for the political culture over there.

To put some numbers behind this:

In the recent parliamentary elections, the Northern League pulled 27.1% of the vote in Veneto, compared to 29.3% back in 1996.

Over in Lombardy, the Northern League grabbed 21.6% of the vote, whereas they had 25.5% in '96.

They didn't even crack 20% in any other region, so the idea of Italy collapsing is nothing but a pipe dream—especially since these last elections were a total shake-up of the political landscape; the communists have basically vanished, and the number of parliamentary groups has plummeted from 32 down to just 5.

Supposedly, the language barrier played a huge role too.

Basically, Quote : Che Guevara spoke Spanish, yet he tried to kick off a guerrilla war among illiterate Native Americans who were all speaking Guaraní.

Unlike you lot, who are barely worth remembering, he remained an absolute enigma to his enemies and opponents alike. You couldn't bribe him, blackmail him, or win him over. There simply isn't a bag of money large enough to buy him, even if you emptied out every last cent from those Judas pockets they call wealth!!!!
You people sell yourselves out while those small-timers are bought for less than what fits between two fingers... for a few measly cents!

They couldn't even kill him properly; they just wasted a few bullets on him like they were checking a box, yet year after year, he only grows more influential!!
In Villagrand, the peasants have been preparing meals for him for years, practically praying to him like he's some kind of saint. It’s almost ironic how all of Latin America "hates" him while simultaneously "adoring" the greedy vultures north of the Rio Grande.

So, you losers and sellouts, just shut your mouths and get on your knees whenever you mention Che Guevara!

The psychopath and war criminal died a dog's death.
