Few more words about secession.

Unfortunately, given the mobile, deracinated, and homogenized nature of American society, the states, while possessing nominal political particulars, have surrendered or otherwise lost a significant degree of their cultural specificity and economic autonomy, rendering secession not just difficult but rather pointless.

Of course, the same conservative I mentioned below offered up a statement that is here apt: "Traditional society is like a weed. You can keep pulling it up, but it'll keep coming back." That is, a new American republic might be capable of "regenerating" (rediscovering, more like) special community and economic sustainability, a structure of customs and markets independent of and radically distinct from the vulgar monolith that is the Washington regime.
