in like 2010 Texas and several other states threatened to secede from the Union, Governor Rick Perry said DC needs to listen to the people before things get too far out of hand, the rate they are going rebellion isn't far away. i am very familiar with the militia movement and they have been preparing for years
I'd like to see them try standing up to the US military.
And if they're successful, and break away... what then? What do they produce, other than inbred crackers? I can just imagine, Texas and other states turning into third world countries overnight, and their people suddenly being the illegal aliens trying to sneak into the United States.

A breakup of America, Canada & Mexico would probably result in several smaller countries dominated by corporate interests that effectively "own" the new "countries". I think it would be the birth of the metanational corporation in reality

I suspect that in the event of the rise of such a political order the Europeans and others would follow suit
But I am just speculating. It could go in other directions as well. If it were to happen suddenly, in the present, however, I think the probability of such a scenario is not that low

I seriously expect to see the collapse of this nation within my lifetime.
There are some parallels that can be drawn with the pre-Civil War era. I don't think the world would be a better place without the United States, personally

The majority of people who form our all volunteer armed forces ARE those inbred crackers. Without them you would be speaking German and I would have been a cake of soap on some Nazi's bathtub.

Actually, the armed forces have the responsibility to support the president, whose sworn duty is to protect the country from all enemies, foreign or domestic. And that is plainly constitutional.
From what I've observed, people like Rick Perry, who had been talking out of his ass about session, really have little or no understanding of what the constitution really says.

During the Second World War, we still had a draft. So the men who saved you from being lathered on someone else' body while in the shower tended to be a more or less better variety of citizens.
On top of that, as many people serving in the armed forces today are just as often black or Latino Americans, I would hardly describe them as "inbred crackers." For that matter, not every poor white serving is an inbred cracker, either.

The Aztec Empire was basically just a hegemony based on the fear of the tlatoani (emperor) and the mere three city-states, Tenochtitlan, Tlacopan and Texcoco, of the Triple Alliance that manipulated much of the rest of Mesoamerica based on fear of Aztec wrath and clever manipulation of national rivalries. Thus, everyone else in the sphere of the Aztec Triple Alliance hated their Mexica overlords. Hence, despite lasting about a century longer than the Inka Empire, the Aztec "Empire" was far less integrated and developed beyond the three decadent cities along Lake Texcoco that ruled the hegemony. And unlike the Inka with their probable khipu writing system, the Aztecs are confirmed to have lacked true writing.
Contrast this with the Inka model: The Inka lasted just short of a century yet they had already spread Quechua, the official language of their empire and its bureaucracy, from northern Chile to Ecuador. They brought running water to many peoples throughout their empire, as opposed to limiting it to those in the Valley of Qusqu, as would parallel the Aztec model in the Valley of Mexico. Though the integrated and highly organized Inka military could crush any rebellion or conquer any state in the Civilized Andes, much, if not most, conquest took place in the form of a clever showering of gifts to local rulers in a veiled demand for assimilation with the greater Inka world. And, upon joining Tawantinsuyu (as the Inka Empire is known in its native Quechua), the people would benefit from state supplying of food and goods during times of need in exchange for doing the mandatory labor tax, or mit'a.
Though both civilizations were conquered by the Spanish, today Nahuatl has less than two million speakers while Quechua has over six million. Furthermore, the indigenous peoples of what was once Tawantinsuyu are far more numerous than those of the realm once dominated by the Mexica.

i thought the soap thing was proven to be an urban legend lol
No. It was true. Body fat was rendered into soap, and hair from dead Jews were used to make heavy duty winter socks for the Wehrmacht. Gold was extracted from the teeth and melted into ingots to be store in Swiss banks until after the war.
The Nazis were a thrifty lot. Waste not, want not.

The funny thing was, British propagandists had accused the Germans of making human corpses into soap back in the First World War; but it was just that, propaganda. Then what do you know, it became true during the Second World War!
