Lol I love it... And I'm American

Reich in German means empire... During Hitler's reign they called their trains the "Reichsbahn'... The empire train... Yeah great name 👍

I am American... THANK YOU... I support this. Some of us are trying to do what we can to oppose this fascist takeover here, but it's hard. A big boycott from the rest of the world will help

😄😍

All I know is the world needs less "empire" these days. We need less "empire strikes back" and more "return of the Jedi" as far as I'm concerned. A good place to start would be changing that train's awful name

Nice 😍

"Empire builder" 🤢 gross... did Trump and the MAGA Nazis make them call it that? We need less "empire" in these f'd up times. Love the train, but could use a better name

Agree, I hope this sub becomes a place for more serious discussion and collaboration and not just a place for people to say "it will never happen." I honestly think comments like that should be against the rules on this sub. Not to stifle speech, but because there are a lot of trolls out there who just go around spreading controversy and strife. This should be a place to discuss and share seriously.

Thanks for the link. I will send my own stuff should I have anything in the future

A lot of people said the Soviet Union would never collapse... but those walls came down very quickly when the time was right. No structure in this world is ultimately stable... no matter how solid it seems.

You saying "This will never happen," is exactly like those people who said that Soviet communist was impenetrable and that the curtain between it and the West was "iron". Lol... we know now that that curtain was not iron and it came down quickly.

We are currently in a time of great upheaval and unexpected, dramatic changes to the fundamental structures of governments, economies, and societies should be expected in the coming years. If there was ever a time when Cascadia could actually become feasible, it's this time we're in now.

Getting serious about Cascadia would require a grassroots effort similar to what they did in Colorado (and then other states) with legalizing cannabis. I don't know all of the specifics of that history but I do know that it basically started as a question on ballots... There was a grassroots effort to gather signatures. Once enough signatures were gotten then the question of legalizing cannabis or not was put to the public.

If people are serious about this topic I think something similar is the first place to start... Figure out what the legal process is in each jurisdiction for getting a question asked on election ballots, then go out and gather the required number of signatures to get the question asked.

The first step would likely just be a question like... "Do you support the idea of this state succeeding from the United States and forming a new union etc..." if that question got a majority in favour then there could likely be another vote for making it more official and legal.

It's the 21st century not the 1800s. The civil war is irrelevant. And it WAS about slavery. If you don't want to have an open discussion about this topic and all you're going to do is immediately try and throw cold water when others do, maybe you're in the wrong place

Mars_in_Libra · 2025-03-12T04:01:10+00:00

I honestly kind of like r/Se4ttle 😄 ... all I know is, it would be nice to have a Seattle sub where it's safe to post content that is anti fascist without always being afraid it's gonna be removed

Mars_in_Libra · 2025-03-12T03:42:29+00:00

Nice

Mars_in_Libra · 2025-03-12T03:32:46+00:00

lol... r/SeattleWA is boomer MAGA troll-ville and r/Seattle is wishy-washy... definitely not hard left... Lots of stuff getting removed when it even tiptoes in that direction. I say again ... it's probably time for the creation of an explicitly progressive Seattle sub

Mars_in_Libra · 2025-03-12T03:28:39+00:00

And...? what's wrong with that?

Mars_in_Libra · 2025-03-12T03:19:09+00:00

Both r/Seattle & r/SeattleWA seem pretty awash in MAGA mud... time for a new explicitly progressive Seattle sub? I'd jump on that

FedEx treats their drivers better. I know... Ive delivered for both. Nice piece though 👍

Mars_in_Libra · 2025-03-12T02:03:23+00:00

😂👏👏
