Oh okay, just googled and found out California is the #6 largest economy in the world (up 2 positions from what I thought) and:

California agriculture generates roughly $37.5 billion annually, more than any other state (and this article was written well before this election season, so it wasn't created just to support a Calexit argument or anything)

Interesting readings…too bad they are not true research papers or raw data.

For what they say, I can infer California is only good in producing vegetables...where are the grains and the meat? A country can't live of broccoli and spinach alone.

Also, Silicon Valley....if the ventures there perceive even the slight risk in their earnings due to Cali's secession, they will move out. So bye-bye money.

Nice try lil' snowflake.  Make a better effort next time.

alol biased much?  I was simply posting on a quick google research about the topic not trying to make some political point.  I cited a source and you didn't.  I never said these online articles were incredibly vetted facts or examples of statistical perfection.  Let's try to have a civil conversation instead of resorting to partisan mudslinging k?  Also if you read my other post, I already said that California seceding would be bad for California and the USA, so stop assuming too much just because I'm bringing up ideas outside your current opinions.  Sheesh.

As for your claims on meats and grains, where did you get that idea?  A simple google search seems to indicate that California has no such deficit on those areas.

@YoungGun:

(1) The people causing trouble were masked and for all we know they're Milo's or the alt-right's henchmen doing the violence themselves to attempt to discredit peaceful protests from people with legit grievances

(2) Even if the people who caused trouble were leftist protestors, indicting an entire group of people for the bad actions of a few is not intelligent and leads to over-generalizations and stereotyping.  You position yourself as a victim of left bashing, but you're contributing to the environment of extreme partisanship ruining our country with group-think rhetoric, confirmation bias, and one-dimensional villainizing behavior.  Bad stuff is done by people on the right and the left.  We shouldn't lower ourselves down to the level of the unintelligent members of society (on both sides) but hold ourselves to a higher standard of discourse and conflict resolution.

(3) Also, free speech =/= being granted the privilege of being able to speak using a large legitimate platform to legitimize hate speech.  Neo-Nazi's have the right to free speech in this country, but this doesn't mean we should be encouraging them to speak at campuses, being given TV spots, etc. either.  Milo has the right to speak his mind about whatever he wants to talk about, but UC Berkeley owes him no special backing to troll at an obvious left-leaning campus just like I am not owed any special right to go to any campus I want and talk about my personal beliefs on my politics or random subjects like video games.  UC Berkley is a prestigious campus and they talk about serious subjects.  They don't owe every joe with an opinion a platform to speak at their campus.  He's lucky they allowed him to come at all in the first place.  And just as he has the right to free speech, the protestors have the right for theirs, and due to his track record, they assumed he was going to spout alt-right propaganda like usual.  Please let's not act like he didn't know exactly what he was doing and then trying to use that for his own political gain.

1)  WOW, just WOW.  I see you watched that Professor in CNN make his claims that he "heard" it was people hired by Milo.

2. LOL, modern liberals are all about the hive mind and identity politics.   The DNC is all about race baiting and hating white people.  "My job is to shut other white people down" is how a white candidate running for the Chairmanship of the DNC and all the others candidates loved it.  You can find the video on YouTube.

3)  You are guilty of what you complained about in #2.   You clearly have no idea how it works for speaking at universities.   He was "invited" by one of the student groups and that group rented the space for the event.

Yeah, Berkely is a great place, as long as you aren't white.  The university allowed non whites to do the "white people go around" thing, but everyone knows it would have been stopped immediately if the races were reversed.

(1) No I thought of that possibility myself because it's an obvious tactic used throughout history.  I didn't say it's what happened.  I'm simply trying to consider all possibilities instead of assuming things which is what all intelligent critical thinking individuals should do.  Part of the problem plaguing are country is that people aren't educated and are easily manipulated because there is not vetting of information and way too much sheep-like following.

(2) "LOL, modern liberals are all about the hive mind and identity politics." So you must be a liberal then?  Since in your very statement you resorted to "identity politics" by basically saying all "modern liberals" are about the hive mind.  Instead of hating on an entire group of people with diverse viewpoints based on a political label, how about actually addressing issues and logical points?  So yeah, both sides do it, and you're demonstrating that right now which was my point.

(3) Guilty of what?  Does a university HAVE to allow anybody speak at their university if any of its student groups pay somebody to come?  Is it okay for a student group to pay for a Nazi or a speech of somebody trying to convince an audience to assassinating somebody?

As for the giant chip on your shoulder about the DNC and Berkeley hating white people…it's just bizarre.  I mean apparently you got scarred at some point by a bad experience or you've been programmed by neo-Nazi propaganda to the point that you've lost complete perspective.  Does the left take things too far at times?  Absolutely.  Just like the right.  That's why I'm against extremism in general.  But categorizing entire groups of people as being of a hive mind and that large groups of people hate white people and are trying to keep them down (including other white people)?  You've pretty much jumped the shark on that point.

@Eridanos:

California….

Seceding from USA...(and joining Canada!)

Oh God, I never laughed so hard in all my life...Are Americans truly stupid or what?

What does California has to offer Canada, or any other country?  California has nothing but service industry, it cannot supply its own food, it has no industrial sector.  And all the so called services and tourism that supposedly make it give more to the Federation than other states wil come to a halt and maybe move out once it separates.

American liberals are just useful to fuck the brains out of them (if they have any left, that is)

@aadam101:

We all laughed a year ago about the idea of a failed business man turned reality star becoming President.

So? Your country's system allows for that to happen.  You were just so nearsighted to realize that it could become reality.

I pose the question again: What does California have to offer to any other country to take it in? Does California have the infrastructure to become a country in its own right?

California is 1 of the few states to do alright on its own actually.  It CAN provide it's own food, and it's like a #8 economy or something in the world even though it's just a state!  It's basically a mini-country, and they contribute to the US way more in funding then they get back.  If Calexit were to happen, both the US and California would be hurt, but California is 1 of the few states who'd do alright and not be completely devastated by leaving.

That being said, it's not in California's interest to leave the US (plus it won't happen, because all the states have to agree or something; states like New York won't want to be left alone to deal with this shitfest).  Even if California leaves, that just leaves the political opposition with more power, and they'd still be neighbors with an undesirable country affecting them.  California is better off being a thorn in the side of Trump administration, and trying to influence the country in a more positive direction rather than isolating itself the way Trump wants to do with our country and the world.

Not positive but I think I read that the person who started Calexit was a Republican (well before all this happened), so it kind of indicates whose interests would be better served by California leaving the USA.

Now if California were to leave with other liberal states, that might be interesting, but I just don't see that happening unless some other things start happening.  In these crazy times though, who knows?

@raphjd:

Umm, they were smashing up the building Milo was in and setting it on fire to prevent him from speaking.

I guess the girl who got pepper sprayed while speaking to the media wasn't prevented from speaking either, she just chose to stop doing the interview because of a minor thing.

I guess the 2 "nazis" could have left and the fact that they got beated down and were repeated beaten, 1 while unconscious on the ground.

Talk about liberal apologetics.

Hillary >>>>> Trump

And it's not even close.

I'm not a huge fan of Hillary but in comparison to Trump she definitely needs to win.  Trump is a demagogue who has thrown all minorities under the bus and clearly is ignorant on social issues which directly impacts our social group.

We can all debate a variety of issues like the economy, military, etc.  But what should be very clear is which political alliances (AKA parties) have had our backs more when it comes to legislation on LGBT issues and which party has thrown us under the bus more to other political interests.

1 of the most important powers of the President is his/her power to appoint federal judges and justices to the Supreme Court.  No branch of the government is perfect or free from corruption, but of the 3 branches, the judicial branch has been the most consistently protective of minority rights (against tyranny of the majority) and the one who has paved the way for increased social justice.  They helped end segregation, allowed interracial marriage, and of course recently paved the way for gay marriage among many other issues.

There's a whole bunch of other reasons to elect Hillary over Trump like the fact that she's a professional politician (where most of her faults come from, but that's largely a matter of "hate the game, not the player") whereas Trump still has all the vices of a politician without the experience, diplomacy, and competence.  He's a loose cannon whose main concern is his own self-interest and not the nation's.  He's clearly demonstrated he'll sell minority groups like us down the river.
