3.8% of Taiwanese want to declare independence, yet numbers of people in US who want their state to secede are in double digits in most states. Therefore, China should help them achieve that. Right?
Disclaimer I am not Hawaiian but yeah it looks like even if the descendants of immigrants from Asia have some Hawaiian blood they still identify as American. I did look at the demographic section of Wikipedia under Hawaii and saw that white and Asian identification was declining and PI/Native Hawaiian had climbed a percentage point each of the last two decades, so maybe something is happening positively. But there are a whole host of other questions you can ask about that. It looks like decolonization will be an arduous process for the real Hawaiians.
Either way, I hope to God the other island territories do not get caught in the trap that is statehood. They must go independent. Hawaii would be the best example for these territories that have statehood self determination movements of why statehood is a trap. Statehood is the opposite of decolonization.
With that much separatism America wouldn't recover from a second civil war.
I had a hunch that the recent situation with Texas disobeying the federal government and involving the Texan national guard was very under reported for how bad the situation seems for America This kind of confirm my intuition.
Useful context to OP to be honest. The question should have compared to the number of people in Taiwan that would like to be unified with China to be a more fair comparison
I can see Texas or California, but how in the seven hells would Nebraska secede from the USA? Even if there weren't a war or a siege, how do they expect to survive by themselves?
I do not even know that there are many people that want independence in the Western European diaspora since I had need relying on Pax Americana news to know events, the Pax Americana always avoid topics of major internal conflicts in the countries of European and European diaspora.
