You cannot make a civil war movie and it not be political the British guy who thought California and Texas would ever be allies needs to get fired. IF HE HAD ANY BRAVERY HE WOULD HAVE MADE THE PRESIDENT TRUMP!
There is absolutely no way any of those other states would be part of something called the Florida Alliance
“We’re in charge now” - the state that’s about to be underwater.
This is probably the most hilarious aspect of this map.
I would love to see this happen in real life.
For just the name alone - they’d have a mini - cough - civil war.
It was very considerate of the civil war to leave exact state borders intact.
as though any separatist movement involving Utah isn’t going to immediately eat a chunk out of every surround state
Civil War is an upcoming dystopian action film, written and directed by Alex Garland. The film stars Kirsten Dunst, Wagner Moura, Stephen McKinley Henderson, Cailee Spaeny, Jesse Plemons, and Nick Offerman. The film follows a team of journalists who travel across the United States during the rapidly escalating Second American Civil War, which has engulfed the entire nation.
In the near future, a team of journalists travel across the United States during the rapidly escalating Second American Civil War that has engulfed the entire nation, between the American government and the separatist “Western Forces” led by Texas and California. The film documents the journalists struggling to survive during a time when the government has become a dystopian dictatorship and partisan extremist militias regularly commit war crimes.
Texas and California together?!
partisan extremist militias regularly commit war crimes.
Oh, great. for the first time I bet it’ll be horseshoe theory shown nationwide visually and graphically. There’s no way there are liberal extremist militias.
My big problem with these post-apocalypse civil war scenarios is they still try and shoehorn in ideology when that’s likely to play very little part in that scenario especially. For example, these maps always split Utah and Nevada because “Mormons” and “Sin City”… but those two states are tied together in a lot of material ways (economy, interstate migration, etc) and would be much more likely to work together, since the Rockies really are almost like a small ocean.
So in theory, could CA and TX align? Yeah, maybe? But I don’t see any sort of material base for that assumption.
Nevada, Arizona, and Utah are also red desert states that rely on the Colorado river. They’d likely unite to fight California and New Mexico in order to invade Colorado to secure their treats and lawns.
Thats when California activates all its transplants we’ve been sending to all the lesser states and take them all from within.
Nevada is essentially an extension of SoCal at this point
Lmao I never thought of that. The idea that the Californian exodus is actually some Illegals Program is pretty fucking funny
Why do you think we sent our most annoying Californians?
What role would Mexico and Canada play. Would Puerto Rico attempt independence from Florida? What would Cuba do?
Cuba preemptively nukes Miami
The PLA finally strikes from the Canadian border following a multi-year build up
Puerto Rico nukes Miami a second time
Or Utah/Nevada would have an internal conflict and one of the two ideological forces would prevail over the other and coerce the other to adopt its customs while continuing to utilize the material, economic connection.
I’m fighting for Sin City.
For example, these maps always split Utah and Nevada because “Mormons” and “Sin City”
This entire premise is false because plenty of Mormons are hypocrites like most right wing Christians in
Also, there are a lot of Mormons in Nevada. They’re about 6% of the population!
government has become a dystopian dictatorship
has become

the american fantasy of a civil war is based on stereotypes they’ve made for themselves and vibes. It has no material basis in reality.
Yes, but have you considered Florida Man must be stopped?
lol that these people still think it’s 1861 and that a modern American civil war would have these clean borders and clearly defined factions
There arent even any breakaway regions! West Virgina exists because of the civil war, and other parts of the South even resisted the Confederacy!
Texas would’ve immediately invaded every state in the “Florida alliance” and incorporated them
California and Washington state would remain loyal, but Washington state would get jumped by the so-called “western forces”, and would need to be saved by California, turning Oregon into a bloody battlezone in the process
Nevada would run to California to save itself from being eaten alive by the Dark Mormon Empire, who will sacrifice the entire population of Arizona to summon a massive daemon army to conquer Texas and California
The Feds would maintain control of the Tide Water, but there would be a massive insurgency in rural areas
Tennessee, Iowa, Missouri, New Mexico, Nebraska, Georgia, and Oregon would become battlezones where the majority of the “conventional” fighting is done, practically every other state will see rural vs urban insurgencies
GOOD post
Imagining a better version of this movie based on the alt history in that WW2 game mod everyone likes.
Break the chains!
i mean, i’m gonna watch the flick because i liked his vision for Annihilation and several of his other movies. but i don’t see how any florida breakaway project would not involve South Carolina, but would get… Oklahoma? or maybe it’s unfair to assume any coherence to some “first days of collapse” map, since state borders are imaginary and what such a map (one that only shows state borders) would really reflect is national guard movements, military bases, and power projection over de facto state capitals being extrapolated outward to historic borders. so basically, nonsense.
like the SC/GA split bothers me, but Parris Island, SC is right there, so maybe there’s a logic obscured by this mosaic.
And it’s all about libs clipping each other…no revolutionary factions at all.
Oh, now I’m definitely watching this.
Yeah it’ll be funny when literally any character dies, regardless of which side they’re on
It’s dumb as hell. The only justification I can come up with they aligned as the only stand alone breakaways. A sort of interests align moment.
does this say california and texas are allies, or does it say that they’re both individual republics…
i would not expect anything else from a film studio started by Scout from TF2
hoping this map isn’t reflective of the content of the movie
What if this but better
on
they kept calling this “A24 presents Woke Vs. Chud” and I keep chuckling to myself about it
