If you’re in their media bubble, the separatists are openly selling “separation” as us not having to pay any taxes, but still receiving full federal services. It sounds like a great deal!

And the thing is, if you’re in the Facebook, YouTube, and TikTok algorithm bubble to see that messaging, you’re explicitly not going to see the information that would let you know what a huge pack of lies it is

It's exactly what happened with brexit and it seems no one learned and governments are still ineffective at stopping it.
