British empire fell apart because they allowed it to after WW2. Soviet union fell apart because they decayed too much and had a failed coup.

Yugoslavia fell apart for same reasons as Soviet Union but it was accompanied by civil wars.

Secession will not succeed in US since the Feds would do anything to keep union together.

Only if a crisis hits US could secession happen.

Still, it is good to go into the proposed territory and strenghten the possible breakaway state. Since you never know when the opportunity to secede comes.

Yep, we need to take a page out of the islamic book. De facto secession is all we need.

We can pay lipservice to those in power without doing what they are saying. We can play pretend and just do our own thing in a state that we control. Enforce the laws selectively just like leftists do.

I'm not against secession but the problem is that current state will not let us do it.

It is only possible if the opportunity comes (aka curent state is too weak).

Yes, I agree with you, but it can be done 'de facto'. Ie in theory and name secession hasn't happend, but in practice it has, because the federal rules aren't being followed. Whenever they demand something, comply and say it will be done, and just don't do it.
