The Good Timeline: Californian secession starts a socialist revolution on the West Coast.
Our timeline: California becomes an AI-governed technofeudalist hermit kingdom constantly bathed in the smoke of year-round wildfires unsuccessfully fought by inmates imprisoned for minor offenses
The people of Cascadia support the liberation of our Californian comrades from the genocidal and regressive United States empire.
Cascadia is coming back isn’t it? I don’t want to be a part of my country either but taking the entire west coast of North America is going to get us a lot of heat
Literal secession is not a practical reality. What is important is for people in our area to understand that if they want a bright future for the next generation, the united states is in full opposition to this, and that progressive politics will only be effective at the community and state levels.
We need to guide our own destiny in spite of whatever the US government, thousands of miles away from us, may have to say about it.
Haha do it it will be funny
Liberals don’t have it in them
Do Californians not know where their water comes from? Like, I’d cheer them on or whatever, but it seems like a doomed project even in the best imagined scenario.
Where does it come from? I’m pretty sure most water used in California is already in California. Do they import water?
Several sources, but much of southern California’s drinking comes from the Colorado river over a 242 mile long aqueduct. If Vegas aligned with CA then it would probably be just fine.
The Colorado River is in California, though? Obviously not all of it, but part of it.
Part of the Colorado River is in California? Do they go further upstream to get water or something? I’m genuinely confused. Everything I’m looking up basically says California moves water around the state, but isn’t really “importing” it from out of state or out of the country in large quantities.
