    I’ve been hearing some calls for California independence, but frankly it’s a very recent thing as far as I know. The movement is probably weaker than the Alberta separation movement, and that thing is so weak modern Quebecan separation feels more likely.

      There was a nascent calexit movement when I lived there but it had the stink of a Russian psyops campaign. This stifled a lot of interest in the issue of any existed in the first place.

      I agree with your analysis 100%

        In my experience, most issues that feel like a minority issue at best, but overall is a general negative to the entire nation and probably not that great for the people advocating it themselves, there’s a high chance of it being Russian psyops.

        I mean, they’ve uncovered quite a bit of evidence that Brexit was exactly that even.
