White supremacists are calling for a “peaceful separation” from the United States — and a ban on people of color moving to New England

A neo-Nazi front group is demanding that New England secede and establish itself as a white nation. Decrying “enemies” that are “all around us” and vowing to defend racial “integrity,” the People’s Initiative of New England published a revolutionary manifesto on July 27 advocating “separation from the United States of America.”

    Honestly I kind of like the idea of these nutjobs all congregating in one place, and it sounds like they’re even volunteering to bow out of US politics. I can’t help but view this as an absolute win. If all the sane people also move out of that area we can maybe even take a page from the racists own playbook and just build a wall around them.

        I mean it’s a fair point, but I still think it’s better to have them all out in the open in one place we can keep an eye on them rather than scattered throughout the country. The trick would be to string them along enough to make them think they’re getting what they want without actually giving them anything meaningful.
