There really shouldn't be one strong government pretending to fairly represent a huge population of 340 million fucking people, let alone a one world government.
USA should break up into states with alliances and treaties among states.
Balkanization doesn't mean we are any more defenseless.
Your states secedes from the union and now there's no ATF or FBI database to background check you with. Your state may even encourage all citizens to arm themselves for the state's overall defense.
Your argument that we'd be weaker doesn't necessarily hold up.
I think the South actually killed more Union soldiers during the civil war, despite losing.

Agreed. We must split up and hold strategic alliances etc with like minded states.
But the Civil War proved we are an empire, not a voluntary "Union."
You're not allowed to leave the entrapment of the empire.
We're not asking permission.
Could work if you could organize with few ally states and in lockstep announce their independence.
Then once multiple states announce independence, they could possibly unite under a new union.
Sure, let the US balkanize so the Chinese have even more influence in world affairs.
Fuck that.

Balkanization means the resources and wealth of the US are now divided up and there is no superpower to confront the evils of China.
States can't secede from the Union, not anymore, without a complete collapse of the central government.
Yes, the South had better generals and Grant was a butcher, but a winning butcher.
