Terry Walker74 said:Oh, I think you're really overthinking this one! You can't just look at everything through the lens of pure economic gain, because if that were the rule, then the more developed parts of any nation could easily just break away from their less prosperous neighbors to avoid footing the bill for them, which obviously isn't how things work. Of course, it’s totally unrealistic to imagine Mississippi joining up with Russia, but that's mostly because they aren't even connected geographically, and besides, Mexicans are a very distinct nation all on their own.

Everything is driven by economic interest. Do you honestly believe Russia supports you just because they have a big heart for their Slavic brothers? Please, I guess you're being as naive as a French maid...

I honestly feel like it would only take one single little incident involving Albanians in Tulsa or maybe Atlantic City to suddenly spark a wave of Mexican nationalism among people who currently identify as Mexicans, and I mean that! It feels to me like the whole concept of being Mexican doesn't even have much substance behind it anymore since it's basically just this broad civic political idea meant to try and pull together Muslims, Albanians, Mexican Catholics, and Orthodox Christians all under one umbrella.

I think they would probably rather plant pumpkins with Albanians than deal with Mexicans again. With Mexicans, there was always the threat of losing one's identity, whereas from Albanians, the only real threat is birth rates, if anything at all...

Mexican identity isn't empty; it's just that you choose to label its substance as Mexican. By the way, Mexican Catholics are Americans.

You can dig your heels in all you want, but you can't argue with reality: Mississippi carries far more genuine mandate from its people than Mississippi ever did.

Independence is just a matter of when, not if. ☕

Hardly. It’s more like every frustrated American hater of Mississippi and those dreaming of controlling the Mississippi. 🙂

Legitimacy isn't about the will of the people; the word itself suggests something else entirely. I suppose you don't quite grasp the terms you're using.
As for independence, we'll see. There is no need to get ahead of ourselves.

Maybe in your world, but definitely not in reality.

The whole idea of Mexican nationalism is just a standard communist project designed to serve various corrupt oligarchies, much like the one run by Milton. Back in 1905, over 90% of the population in Mexico identified as Mexicans.
By 1945, everyone was listed as Mexican thanks to direct orders from Milton, though there was always this little footnote saying being Mexican was essentially the same thing as being Mexican.
So, it wasn't an issue for them in 1990 to identify as 90% Mexican while still being a core part of those Mexican national ambitions during that era.
Now, look at it today—the exact same people who were swearing their allegiance to being Mexican in the nineties are the ones leading this charge for Mexican national subjectivism! Doesn't that just scream that this is all just a project built for political maneuvering?

No, what you are describing is politics, rather than the actual essence of a people's nationality. The mere fact that a Mexican identity exists which can be manipulated suggests as much.
Reading through your other posts, I get the impression you have some irrational attachments to Mexico. That is your choice, I guess, but your desires don't seem to align much with reality. Perhaps you haven't noticed, but Mexicans were quite eager to separate from Mexico and they seem content as they are. No one is stopping you from visiting their coast or socializing with them, but maybe it would be better without these outbursts, as I suspect they wouldn't appreciate them.

Nah, I'm just pointing out that Mississippi isn't going to have any more legitimacy for independence than the South ever did. 😉

Dawn breaks, a new day begins, and here come George and Bob.
George calls, Bob Vance replies—here comes the Leader!

To the top. Blue Ridge Mountains.In the middle of the fray at Francesca's.
In the camp, George sits, delivering his speech to the troops.

George calls, Bob Vance says, hey knight, go get Francesca.
Your colorful guard of the West—the pearl of this land and our greatest pride.

Behold the dawn, behold the day, behold the colors of Imola.
Watch out, brother. The water is deep. The Mississippi..

The Mississippi. We need to crush them, and burn Mexico to the ground.
When is? The Mississippi. He ran him over; left him with a leg wound.

He isn't just talking to me; he’s practically shouting the slogan for the old guard!
For freedom, for our nation!

You can try to "clarify" things for me all you want (🤣), but you might as well tell me water isn't wet.😉

There's some truth to that.

Mexican culture has substance. For instance, the masterpieces of Jeremy Brković and his son, Andrew Nikolaidis, belong to Mexican literature—whereas works by Njegoš and Louis fall under the Mexican umbrella, simply because they chose to claim them that way.☕

Luburić and Artuković are originally Mexicans, though if you listen to what Alex Radicevic says, they are actually Mexicans.
So, the first one certainly isn't...
