A neo-Nazi front group is demanding that New England secede and establish itself as a white nation. Decrying ā€œenemiesā€ that are ā€œall around usā€ and vowing to defend racial ā€œintegrity,ā€ the Peopleā€™s Initiative of New England published a revolutionary manifesto on July 27 advocating ā€œseparation from the United States of America.ā€

      Just saying there are a lot of other regions in the US that would be more fertile ground for this type of endeavor.

        Well if they were rational, they wouldnā€™t be racists, but there is certainly a fixation on New England among certain groups. Itā€™s not very common but this isnā€™t the first time this idea has been floated, like the inbred cousin of the idea of the Great White North, which means ā€œsnowyā€ to some and something else to a certain sort.

        Iā€™d guess they chose the area because of the relatively low population. They figure they can outnumber the locals like the libertarians have been trying to do in New Hampshire.
