I always wanted New England to join Canada and be part of the Maritimes so that the time zone would make more sense. And so New Englanders could get healthcare that wasn't tied to employment
We’ll set up the GoFundMe for Denmark to buy California, but only on condition that any leftover go toward this coast. We’ll be a colony or territory off Denmark!
The current world order sucks big floppy donkey dick.
Not saying that I would want the specific one YOU'RE imagining, but this one has been rotten since its inception. As was the previous one ever since Thatcher, Reagan, and Bananarama established it.
The problem is, so would the fascists, because they think they would win the ensuing civil war, which is a pretty solid bet as long as they are in charge of the military, which they are, and they will stay in charge until they force the civil war that they believe they will win. We are watching it happen in real time. They aren't even waiting for those "catalyzing events" that they are priming for, because they're behind schedule, so they are going to just go ahead anyway. Look, nobody is doing shit about it anyway, and if they did- well yhere you go, martial law and suspended elections straight away.
The military will do as they are told by the chain of command. Who's in command is dictated by a deeply flawed system that only ever pretended to be democratic. These were always the inevitable distal results. Call me doomey. Watch the world and see the facts and call me doomey.
We are not dealing with geniuses here. It's pretty obvious what they planned. It's like watching the evil guys in a dumb marvel movie. It's really not that complicated.
Who's in command is dictated by a deeply flawed system that only ever pretended to be democratic.
You're right. The founding fathers did not intend to create a democracy. They created a republic with elected leaders who were chosen exclusively by wealthy, educated white men.
We certainly can't fault them for not foreseeing how much American society -- and the electorate -- would change and how little the Constitution would change.
I truly believe that if they had any inkling how little we would change the Constitution in 250 years, they would have written a whole article requiring a Constitutional Convention every 25 or 50 years.
they think they would win the ensuing civil war, which is a pretty solid bet as long as they are in charge of the military,
Not so fast. We’re in charge of the military’s technology, not r enough of it to make a difference. Let them come but they may be surprised at what they end up targeting
The cost of energy inputs for desalinization and mitigating the environmental impacts of saline outflows make it impractical for many users of water (many irrigation, agriculture, and industrial users.) The Sun still operates the best desalinization plant on a global scale.
The proponent of the measure, Marcus Evans, must collect signatures of 546,651 registered voters (five percent of the total votes cast for Governor in the November 2022 general election) in order for the measure to become eligible for the ballot. The proponent has 180 days to circulate petitions for the measure, meaning the signatures must be submitted to county elections officials no later than July 22, 2025.
Contact info for Marcus Evans is in the link you posted. If you're in California, ask him how you can add your name to the petition.
It would be interesting to see the major blue states go on a tax strike.
They could send their tax revenue to escrow instead of to the US government for a while. It would be good for the red states with mostly rural voters to fuck around and find out how much they need the blue states with big cities to support their way of life ... while the results can still be reversed with those escrow funds.
For the price of California (one dollar might be an agreeable option), I'm sure the people of the west coast would gladly throw in an Oregon & Washington for free!
California is literally almost 10x the size and 7x the population of Denmark. And just the logistics of having to manage a dependency this large that's at least a 12 hour flight away would be a nightmare, both economic and organizational.
This would likely be one of the biggest dogs any tail has ever attempted to wag (certainly in modern times) besides the British rule of India, perhaps, and we all know how that turned out.
The problem is that Denmark would be responsible for defending it, and logistically, that would be a nightmare. There is basically no efficient way to ship an army there without crossing US-controlled territory, be it via land (impossible), sea (US took back control of the Panama canal, remember?), or air (minimum 12 hour nonstop flight, and that's only if you're crossing US airspace).
On top of that, Denmark only has 6 Million people, so even if they shipped literally all of their soldiers there it probably wouldn't be enough to realistically hold it against a US invasion. Trump could simply order the US military to take it back and they'd likely finish the job in less than a week. Sure, Denmark could draw from the local population and invest in massive military training programs, but that would take years to accomplish and likely cost a good chunk of even their combined GDP (which they've already pledged to universal healthcare and a free Danish cookies).
In this specific case, they're on nuke subs based out of San Diego. I'd say there's a coin flip chance a few of those stay on California's side in this ridiculously contrived fantasy scenario.
Florida would certainly be a lot more realistic (shorter land border, much easier to reach by sea and air without having to cross US territory). Still 4x the size of Denmark however. Would definitely be a stretch, although not quite as huge as California.
I thought that India thing was going well. I’ve been reading news papers in order of date from the first one so I’m current on June 23rd 1757. Let’s just have a look-see
Unlikely. California has a number of national labs including Lawrence Livermore National Lab which does atom bomb work. The University of California system does at least some of the administration for at least two major weapons labs (LLNL and Los Alamos).
Everyone here going on about "take us too" and not one comment on how the Danes are going to logistically supply Danish Pastries to California without impacting their economy. Crips you'd have to float them through the Panama Canal. They'd be stale before they hit port. /s
We have a Dantown already. We just need to expand their production capacity, also theres a company in Colton who produces these little calzone looking pies that are so fucking good and have been 99 cents for fucking decades.
They aren't really calzones just don't know the name of them besides pies. You can usually find them at Staters around the Inland Empire, at the one I go to it's in the back right corner on a little rotation rack.
Edit: They tend to be in paper wrappers, with basic flavors like chocolate pudding, vanilla pudding, cherry filled, think I've even seen orange ones on occasion.
Ok so instead of breaking the US up into the United states of Canada and Jesusland, I am totally cool with something like The Green States of America Land.
We could be a good neighbor to Canada and slowly transition Jesusland off of all the welfare money.
Just build all our factories there (like we already do). They’ll think they’re getting good jobs, but we’ll be paying third world wages and with none of those pesky worker safety or environmental protection rules. Let them live in the polluted hellscape they keep voting for
I propose all of New England. Maybe then we can get that highspeed rail line that NYC and Boston were trying to build back in the 2000s. Between that, the two international airports of both cities, the multiple major ports across all of coastal New England, the high rates of college educated workers (a whopping 80% of the workforce in Boston, highest percentage in the country), and the wealth of residents across the area, there's a lot of benefits there.
Denmark (or any other EU country, really), is there any way that I can make this deal more appealing? How about if I told you that Rockstar has a studio north of Boston and that by taking New England you could get GTA 6 faster?
To be fair, the North-Eastern and South-Western US States don't need Denmark or any other country to make this happen. I mean, there are plenty of guns and plenty of good guys so...
I mean by what right does California belong to the USA. I mean all they did was roll a wagon onto the land 500 years ago. Who's to say the Danish didn't around the same time too?
(sorry indigenous Californians your righteous and original claim doesn't help me make my point)
I meant that I was being sarcastic in my first post, not you. I was copying what Trump said about Greenland and Denmark landing a boat there and applying it to california to try to show how ridiculous his position is. I was not trying to be factually accurate. I was trying to poke fun at him. It seems it was either not as obvious as I thought or just a bad joke.
When I was a kid in the nineties I visited Denmark and had their pastries. I don't remember much from the time except that the pastries were so sickly sweet and had overpowering flavor of some nut extract (almond maybe). Never in my life was I so disgusted by pastries as in Denmark. So they can keep those to themselves. I'll take the rest though
Whaaaa?! I've always found Danish pastries to be much less sweet than American, though the American take is cloyingly sweet. Almond flavor totally tracks, though. Many I've seen are almond flavored or at least include almonds.
Haha I love the (semi) random experience shares,I keep doing those on here to keep up some engagement and well add something semi relevant. Usually tangential to the main topic.
Though by the description I'd love to try those pastries, never found anything too sweet. Near 50 now,I'll assume it happens sometimes, once I thought I understood my mom saying it made her back teeth hurt which I'm pretty sure she meant it was too sweet but can't recall it happening more than twice to me at most.
Grew up north in Canada, hate the cold but everything else about similar Nordic countries seem to be pretty good. Well work from home these days.....didn't have that before.
Alaska is only 55 miles away from Russia. FACT. Alaska is not safe as a US state. The European Union must immediately take over Alaska and turn it into the 28th EU member. THIS IS VITAL TO THE SAFETY AND SECURITY OF ALASKA AND THE WORLD. Thank you for your attention to this matter!
The online left is a disorganized mess, evidenced by the disdain you've shown towards anyone on the left that isn't 100% the exact form of anarcho-marxist-liber-socialism (or whatever) you've become convinced is the only way to do things. The left will keep losing to fascism if you're unable to organize.
BTC is doing a lot of work to try to organize the left. What are you doing? Just labelling anyone that tries to organize a "shill". Exactly as they much more organized fascists want you to do.
All both parties do after all is grift - the Republicans grift by having progressive content creators say conservative talking points just for views and money, and the Democrats grift by paying people like BTC and David Pakman dark money to say that. It's time we go for a real third way - a populist party dedicated to class consciousness. Seriously!
If I lived in CA, I'd vote for this. But, also, California could easily make it as its own country.
I wish it fucking would.
Washington here. Let's make Cascadia or Pacifica real.
California here. I'm on board.
I'm in Illinois and would like to throw our hat in the ring. We're closer to you than Hawaii is and would make a nice, friendly stop over.
checks facts... Oh, wow! 😱🤓🤙🏽
Sounds good to me!
I'm not even on your coast -- LITERALLY the other side of the continent in New England -- and i am rooting for you SO FUCKING HARD
GLORY TO CASCADIA!
I wish New England would
secedeget bought by Denmark too...I always wanted New England to join Canada and be part of the Maritimes so that the time zone would make more sense. And so New Englanders could get healthcare that wasn't tied to employment
Cascadia?
The land of...
?
I'd move there if that was what Cascadia meant
evacuate what the dance floor? to? from?
...on?...We’ll set up the GoFundMe for Denmark to buy California, but only on condition that any leftover go toward this coast. We’ll be a colony or territory off Denmark!
Meanwhile Taiwan and the South China Sea goes bye bye, and Russia takes the Baltics.
A new world order. Woo.
This, but not sarcastically.
The current world order sucks big floppy donkey dick.

Iirc California as a state has a larger GDP than most nations.
It's 4th or 5th which is insane.
5th previously, but recently we went up to fourth!
I wonder if it would stay like that on its own in a nationally divided disunited states of America.
Nope, we would not. But we're okay going down in the ranks so long as we separate ourselves from the batshit crazy people running the US.
The tariffs would end
Edit: and also the huge tax drain
Yes and also have you seen the real estate prices?
The problem California would have as its own country would be defending the massive border it has with the failed state next door.
If it can solve its water source problem.
I'm sure someone will come in and tell me why this is a dumb idea, which is why I'm asking...
But why wouldn't nuclear power plants and desalination plants render water issues a thing of the past?
Is it no other reason than the hurdles of nuclear boogeymen?
The cost of energy inputs for desalinization and mitigating the environmental impacts of saline outflows make it impractical for many users of water (many irrigation, agriculture, and industrial users.) The Sun still operates the best desalinization plant on a global scale.
Well, there's been breakthroughs that make desalination much more energy efficient https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-025-09769-3
California’s GDP 9.5x Denmark’s
https://www.wolframalpha.com/input?i=California+gdp%2F+Denmark+gdp
We're voting in 2028. No, really. https://www.sos.ca.gov/administration/news-releases-and-advisories/2025-news-releases-and-advisories/Proposed-Initiative-Enters-Circulation-Requires-Future-Vote-on-Whether-California-Should-Become-Independent-Country
I would vote yes knowing full well it would never happen.
Only if the proposal gets enough signatures.
Contact info for Marcus Evans is in the link you posted. If you're in California, ask him how you can add your name to the petition.
With all the right-wing memes I've seen in the past, I'd think they would be happy to see it go.
at least until they realize how much California and other "blue" states fund their "red" states.
Republican voters don't learn lessons from experience. That's why they're Republican voters.
Those people would be so angry if they could do math.
They would be invading California to steal their resources and labor... Faster than JD Vance can fuck a couch.
That's pretty fast
It would be interesting to see the major blue states go on a tax strike.
They could send their tax revenue to escrow instead of to the US government for a while. It would be good for the red states with mostly rural voters to fuck around and find out how much they need the blue states with big cities to support their way of life ... while the results can still be reversed with those escrow funds.
Is there a petition for Californians who support this?
If you find one, I can guarantee dozens of signatures from the people I can reach out to alone.
I would sign it.
Me too.
You can store screws or sewing kits in there.
I've heard rumours that some people have cookies in those. But surely that's just a myth.
Am Danish, can confirm.
I recently (December) bought a tin for myself for the first time ever and they were almost as great as I remember from my early childhood in the 80s 🤤
Does it now have screws or sewing equipment in it?
Nah. I'm a rebel like that.
Ah, so it’s become your weed stash.
I will neither confirm nor deny your hypothesis 😁
I usem for USB sticks and assorted computer paraphernalia.
This would help me finding my stick with the CV...
WE ACCEPT. OH MY FUCKING GOODNESS YES.
I'd take that deal. Where do I sign?
For the price of California (one dollar might be an agreeable option), I'm sure the people of the west coast would gladly throw in an Oregon & Washington for free!
God I need to move to a blue state
Hey hey us Canadians have dibs on Washington. The Western side of it anyway.
Please, Prime Minister Fredricksen. My people yearn for freedom. We will welcome you as liberators.
Well I’d be moving cross country to live in California.
Mind stopping through Tennessee and giving a brother a lift? 🇩🇰
Same
Yes, please. How soon can this realistically happen, Denmark?
Realistically? Never.
California is literally almost 10x the size and 7x the population of Denmark. And just the logistics of having to manage a dependency this large that's at least a 12 hour flight away would be a nightmare, both economic and organizational.
This would likely be one of the biggest dogs any tail has ever attempted to wag (certainly in modern times) besides the British rule of India, perhaps, and we all know how that turned out.
You can be like Greenland and have autonomy. I think Denmark would be fine with a similar arrangement.
The problem is that Denmark would be responsible for defending it, and logistically, that would be a nightmare. There is basically no efficient way to ship an army there without crossing US-controlled territory, be it via land (impossible), sea (US took back control of the Panama canal, remember?), or air (minimum 12 hour nonstop flight, and that's only if you're crossing US airspace).

Sure, Denmark could draw from the local population and invest in massive military training programs, but that would take years to accomplish and likely cost a good chunk of even their combined GDP (which they've already pledged to universal healthcare and a free Danish cookies).
California has nukes.
And a national guard!
No. The US federal government does.
Like the Soviet Union did in Ukraine.
In this specific case, they're on nuke subs based out of San Diego. I'd say there's a coin flip chance a few of those stay on California's side in this ridiculously contrived fantasy scenario.
Right, because Trump would definitely just pull all the federal military out and leave all their equipment behind like Biden did in Afghanistan. /s
Once polar ice caps melt they can just go north and sail straight through the bering strait, easy peasy, even easier if Alaska comes for the ride /s
In that case they maybe should take Florida, bulldoze it, and start over.
Florida would certainly be a lot more realistic (shorter land border, much easier to reach by sea and air without having to cross US territory). Still 4x the size of Denmark however. Would definitely be a stretch, although not quite as huge as California.
Florida is tiny ….. or the part above water will be after a few more years of “drill baby drill”
There’s that freight rail Canada wants to build, from the west coast to Hudson Bay for cheap shipping to and from Europe
I thought that India thing was going well. I’ve been reading news papers in order of date from the first one so I’m current on June 23rd 1757. Let’s just have a look-see
Oh… my god…
The British ran India without even a phone line to convey policy. I believe with the modern internet it'd be easily doable.
Currently America is run by like 8 or so billionaires, so the whole Danish parliament should have no trouble with just California.
Unlikely. California has a number of national labs including Lawrence Livermore National Lab which does atom bomb work. The University of California system does at least some of the administration for at least two major weapons labs (LLNL and Los Alamos).
Chuck em in as a sweetener, they have to take Americans after all...
I’ll go for free. Sign me up.
Canada should do this to ancquire Alaska too.
there’s no good reason it’s not part of Canada. It’s not even the US’s land.
It lies directly next to Canada, it's not even connected to the USA. Psychologically, Canada needs it.
Yeah, so they weren’t there first, don’t own the land, and it makes no sense every tone I look at a map.
Also don't forget Canada needs it for national security.
The only problem is that there are Trumpy Americans living there. It would be like having another Alberta.
Canada can invade New England to balance out those Trumpies. I already have my maple syrup ration plus smuggled in some Tim’s
Everyone here going on about "take us too" and not one comment on how the Danes are going to logistically supply Danish Pastries to California without impacting their economy. Crips you'd have to float them through the Panama Canal. They'd be stale before they hit port. /s
My dudes they can send us the flour and bake them here. as future danes we got supply chains already
They never said for free
Or that they'd be made in Denmark. Could just be Danish recipes, made in California.
but California would be Denmark
Oh yeah, good point!
All pastries made in California would be Danish pastries
We have a Dantown already. We just need to expand their production capacity, also theres a company in Colton who produces these little calzone looking pies that are so fucking good and have been 99 cents for fucking decades.
Däntown, my friend. Also I go by Colton every so often and I fuckin love calzones would you mind DMing me the name of the company?
They aren't really calzones just don't know the name of them besides pies. You can usually find them at Staters around the Inland Empire, at the one I go to it's in the back right corner on a little rotation rack.
Edit: They tend to be in paper wrappers, with basic flavors like chocolate pudding, vanilla pudding, cherry filled, think I've even seen orange ones on occasion.
Edit2: the brand is called Mrs. Redds.
I think we just call those hand pies. I grew up eating Mrs redds though. This fruit pours are amazing.
Ok so instead of breaking the US up into the United states of Canada and Jesusland, I am totally cool with something like The Green States of America Land.
We could be a good neighbor to Canada and slowly transition Jesusland off of all the welfare money.
Jesusland is exceedingly ungrateful for the generosity of California. (and New York.)
How?
Just build all our factories there (like we already do). They’ll think they’re getting good jobs, but we’ll be paying third world wages and with none of those pesky worker safety or environmental protection rules. Let them live in the polluted hellscape they keep voting for
I think I'd rather depend on China for that.
Very carefully.
As a California citizen i vote yes please
We also have the right to unionize in our constitution
I honestly believe there are more people who would like the USA to become a part of Denmark than there are people who want Greenland
Burying the lede.
They should have opened with the pastries.
They had me at universal healthcare but I can see an argument for pastries.
With good enough pastries, you don't need health care
Gotta use that free healthcare for something. Might as well be unclogging my arteries after all the cookies I'm gonna eat.
I agree to these terms
They had me at pastries!
Come for the pastries, stay for the health care
You're gonna need it with that lifetime supply.
We will need pastries with a lifetime supply of healthcare!
Ok, Denmark, I think you need to rethink the last point after seeing just how much food Americans can put away...
USA'ian who lives in Denmark: let's do this shit. It'd probably be a big QoL increase for a fair few people in CA
Can NY be apart of this?
I propose all of New England. Maybe then we can get that highspeed rail line that NYC and Boston were trying to build back in the 2000s. Between that, the two international airports of both cities, the multiple major ports across all of coastal New England, the high rates of college educated workers (a whopping 80% of the workforce in Boston, highest percentage in the country), and the wealth of residents across the area, there's a lot of benefits there.
Denmark (or any other EU country, really), is there any way that I can make this deal more appealing? How about if I told you that Rockstar has a studio north of Boston and that by taking New England you could get GTA 6 faster?
To be fair, the North-Eastern and South-Western US States don't need Denmark or any other country to make this happen. I mean, there are plenty of guns and plenty of good guys so...
Agree, add them all
California has a GDP many times larger than Denmark
But the GDP per Capita is not insanely different, $85k vs 102k (source: wiki)
Did you mean “New Denmark would have a GDP more than ten times old denmark”?
I mean by what right does California belong to the USA. I mean all they did was roll a wagon onto the land 500 years ago. Who's to say the Danish didn't around the same time too?
(sorry indigenous Californians your righteous and original claim doesn't help me make my point)
I think the Spanish were here first. And then it was part of Mexico…
Ok, I'm not trying to be factually accurate. I'm trying to point out the idiocy of trump's comments
IIRC the Spanish took over the land as a place to put the Muslims after the Iberian “crusades”.
Until Zorro appeared... as I saw in a documentary.
California has only been a thing since the mid 19th century, so half that time lol
Ah I see, you were thinking the sarcastic response to trumps factually inaccurate statement should be factually accurate. Got it.
Didn’t mean it sarcastically 😕
I meant that I was being sarcastic in my first post, not you. I was copying what Trump said about Greenland and Denmark landing a boat there and applying it to california to try to show how ridiculous his position is. I was not trying to be factually accurate.

Please do it. I will move there immediately
Yes, please.

Yeah I do wonder if I tried them today would they still seem overly sweet? Things have changed.
You will adapt over time, if not then there's always the blood eagle.
Haha I love the (semi) random experience shares,I keep doing those on here to keep up some engagement and well add something semi relevant. Usually tangential to the main topic.

Can NY come? We will bring bagels!
We ❤️ NY!
Take California.
Sold!
Alaska is only 55 miles away from Russia. FACT. Alaska is not safe as a US state. The European Union must immediately take over Alaska and turn it into the 28th EU member. THIS IS VITAL TO THE SAFETY AND SECURITY OF ALASKA AND THE WORLD. Thank you for your attention to this matter!
Does that mean that English would become one of the languages of the Danish Realm?
That’s really my only hope. Danish is difficult and I’m very sub par on languages.
Most Danes are very fluent in English, so no problem there!
Have they considered Oregon, too? We have hipsters and beer.
Shush about the hipsters
Hipsterslego enthusiasts.And gun control.
"oooh, nice. Oooooh, yes. Wait, What's this...fa.. fact based politics? I'M OUT. HOW DARE YOU!?!!"
Would make more sense if they offered to buy Utah or Alabama or some other state that wouldn't want to be bought by a country with a sane government.
Danish can be a bit hard to understand
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=s-mOy8VUEBk
California is fine. They need to buy Florida.
Why would they intentionally give themselves a debuff like that?
Denmark: “How much for Florida?”
USA: “Florida is not for sale!”
Denmark: “I know. I’m asking how much you’re willing to pay me to take Florida.”
USA: 🤔
We make fun of it, but Florida Man is an agent of chaos that's essential to the American identity.
This whole comment section sounds like a game of Monopoly and it's hilarious. "I'll trade you Boardwalk for States Avenue."
Hey man, some people really like a fixer upper. Even though the fixer upper in question here really needs to be torn down to the dirt.
This is true, California would join Denmark free of charge whereas Florida would ask for money
Solvang has entered the chat.
I just love the fact that in Estonian, that name means "insult" (in noun form)
Please take the other 49 states too
All day bb
Can Colorado come too?
What a wild trade that would be!
Can’t they buy Florida or Texas instead? I feel like the US really needs California.
Nah sorry, both of those are waaaaaay further away from being European.
Can I sign Texas up for this?
Whose lifetime?
Take Philly pls 👀
I propose a new country formed by drawing roughly the following line
It was meant to include Delaware too, but I made a mistake and cba to redraw it since I did it in one go and couldn't ctrl + z lol
I would allow the Danes to rename a port city to"Maerskhavn."
Just keep Your black licorice to Yourself Denmark.
Give it to me.
Nope, mail it to my house
Pretty sure this has been around since last year at least (slop used on website 🤢):
https://denmarkification.com/
Wh- hey! What about the rest of us?!
How much time do we have to move before this goes through?!
I wish they would put an offer in for my state...
Sweden will buy your state. We love you!
You will be our, perhaps most CHERISHED 26th province.
Governor Newsom can't come though.
imagine denmark's economic boost.
I hate CA but I will totally move/live there to be part of the danish.
And to give a middle finger to the US.
Brian Taylor Cohen is a paid shill.
But...
...this is a great offer from the Danes. I say take it, California.
How is he a paid shill exactly?
Literally takes payments from Dem donors to say specific things. Taylor Lorenz reported on it a few months ago.
I wouldn't trust Taylor Lorenz either, they all grifting you and you ain't in the club

The online left is a disorganized mess, evidenced by the disdain you've shown towards anyone on the left that isn't 100% the exact form of anarcho-marxist-liber-socialism (or whatever) you've become convinced is the only way to do things. The left will keep losing to fascism if you're unable to organize.
BTC is doing a lot of work to try to organize the left. What are you doing? Just labelling anyone that tries to organize a "shill". Exactly as they much more organized fascists want you to do.
All both parties do after all is grift - the Republicans grift by having progressive content creators say conservative talking points just for views and money, and the Democrats grift by paying people like BTC and David Pakman dark money to say that. It's time we go for a real third way - a populist party dedicated to class consciousness. Seriously!

We change our constitution all the time by direct initiative.
Just call the rest a separatist movement, easy loophole
