    I can’t see a future Cascadia that isn’t socialist, technocratic, and deeply influenced by trade with Asia - white supremacy is unpopular and extremely unlikely to take deep roots in a near-future autonomy movement.

    what makes you so sure?

      I’ve spent my entire life living in the PNW, in both the US and Canada. I’ve been involved with people who are definitely Cascadian secessionists.

      Racial conflicts are still active in the suburbs and rural areas, but open white supremacy is deeply taboo, and sincere ethnonationalism is absolutely unheard of - just crackpot shit.

      Over the past 60 years, the racists have been pushed deeper and deeper into rural areas, and effectively have no political influence beyond occasionally driving their trucks into the suburbs to smash windows and intimidate immigrant neighborhoods.

      PNW rural chuds are impoverished, powerless and easily taken care of - because for the most part, they’ll support Cascadian nationalism - and as the chuds are not organized, competent or popular enough to lead a Cascadian secessionist movement, I can’t see the extreme-fringe white nationalists being a real issue - again, it’s just not popular, and these groups cannot come to unity with the vast, vast majority of people who live in the PNW.
