And Florida is killing people they don't like

...Ohio is part of the midwest.

Imagine having fully operating concentration camps where people from all over the country is arbitrarily "detained" and put in, and just going about your day like usual.

"Ohio isn't in the midwest."

Isn't just living in Ohio the same as being in an active warzone?

Oh look at that DC is in Russia. Fitting analogy.

Imagine being from the US while your government is run by pedophiles who are turning the country into an authoritarian dictatorship. But meanwhile all you do is complain there's nothing you can do about it, how you're a victim (even though you voted for it or were stupid enough not to vote) while you defended the second amendment after yet another school shooting because you might need it in case of a tyrannical government. Keep in mind, the people who voted for the other option still voted for right wing, as there's no left wing representation in that country, because apparently the left is such a tiny part of the population they don't have any political representation.

All dystopian fiction writers would say this story wouldn't sell so wouldn't be worth writing about, because it would be too far fetched. Americans: "hold my beer..."

I'm in SW Romania. I can drive to Ukraine in a day.

And yea, just kinda... living my life. Not much else I can do.

If you drive from the east coast to the midwest and back, as I have, you'll get a sense of how weirdly huge the United States is. There comes a point where your primitive monkey brain is confused that people still speak the same language.

Imagine the people running your country are literally fucking and eating kids.

Maps without the UP?

There is an active war in Ohio.

The Midwest ends somewhere around poland/the northern Baltics in that map, I was under the impression that those areas have been freaked out.

Thats how I feel about Minnesota while living in PA...

We don't have to imagine it. Across the border, right now the cartels are attacking the cities and setting them on fire. It's not on the level of Russia attacking Ukraine, but still, a little unsettling.

We did that already, but with Minnesota.

fuck this part of Finland ig

Russia can just have Ohio.

Ohio isn't even a real state.

Ever meet anyone from Ohio?

Of course you haven't.

Oh, you have? That was a CIA agent.

I am disturbed by the lack of Great Lakes.

Prior to 1945, this kind of thing happened every 30 years somewhere in Europe. It’s kind of the usual

Ohwhereo?

is this an accurate representation of the US landmass ? I was under the impression they were much biger than that..., but they're roughly the size of Europe ?

The one thing that this overlay is making me realise is that there are actually some parallels here. The North and Midwest kind of seem the same type of people, same with the UK being the northwest, Iberia basically being California/Nevada and Italy being a spaghetti western country with far right tendencies.

Something makes me think that the US should be flipped horizontally here. So that Florida is over Spain.

The greenhorns back east have no idea what is going on, out here on the western frontier.

You still need to eat, drink, have shelter while there's a war or a fascist take over. The point of modern society though is to make that band of ability to do that so narrow you cannot afford to take a day off. Because fuck being part of the masses I guess.
