"Those fucking outtastaters." - Local MⒶine man

I feel like my state is ripe for revolution, as long as nobody uses the words anarchism or socialism. Maine has a huge independent streak. The culture of the people here, as long as we are not talking about the snowbirds of Munjoy Hill, are is to leave each other alone, live and let live, but also help your neighbor out when they need it. But the word anarchist here is defined by "the violent chaotic antifa liberals on TV that run around assaulting republicans and policing their opinions" socialism is defined both here the typical "lots of taxes under capitalism" but also the "socialism = Stalin-ism" because of our Polish immigrants. But I've never once seen people successfully put aside differences and unite together on comradery alone. I've only seen in history people successfully put aside differences and unite together on the hatred of a precieved outside source.
Rich people from out of state have been non-consentsually fucking Mainers in the ass for decades. It might be possible that Mainers could unite on the hatred of rich people from out of state!

The Free Territory of Maine fucking when?

Huh, another Mainer on Holla Forums?

Also, yeah Maine is a great Leftist state.

Sanders had a big foothold here so I don't think people are as scared of "Socialsim" as you think.

Even some of the Polish, Russian, and Bulgarian immigrants I have met in Old Orchard tell me that Communist rule was better than what they have now over there.

Dude must have been on some crazy drugs.

Also big fucking pro-tip for any potential gun owning comrades: a handgun is not an adequate home defense weapon.

Here in Maine we can open carry handguns like the wild west. So a lot of people here just have them, gun crime is pretty rare too.

Must be nice.
Fuck this state, tbh. I want my maximum comfy OWB OC without worrying about getting kidnapped and locked in a cage if my shirt rides up and I don't notice.

Best part is almost all the Leftists here are Pro-Gun.

But the Right never talks about that because it fucks there narrative.

Feels good fyam!

But I want no rulers.
Also, where you at? I'm in Portland near Maine Medical Center.

There's a pill line here from New York.

Cute pic. Got the artist's name?

pls respond

The Right doesn't talk about it because those types of Leftists are politically irrelevant

0Lightsourse he draws cute traps if your into that


They talk about Anti-Gun "Leftists" becasue it helps them push for more gun rights.

Witch isn't bad I guess, I like gun rights. But it makes all Pro-Gun Leftists look bad.
Kno what I'm talking about?

Here in MⒶine before we legalized gay marriage there was a backlash because of the Christian and Catholic traditional families being told by their pastors that 'them queers are against god' and it grew from there. We eventually passed it.

I really disagree on Maine being leftist. There are some Anarchists in Portland, and there are some authoritarian socialists at the colleges but Maine just has a deep-seeded hate for rich people from out of state and the Federal government. Despite the 45 total leftists here, the rest of the state is very much Purple quarter folk.

They are only talking about Liberals when they say that. When republicans say the word "leftist" they are never talking about us. They mean liberals.
To further conflate things, they thing liberal ideas are pure communism because to them communism is "lots of taxes under capitalism" and that's what liberals want.
Also, were are you from?

Basically this everyone who I've meet outside of the city is really fucking classcucked tbh

Because wealth inequality tends to not be as excessive in the countryside/rural areas as it is in major cities, where you have an excessively wealthy elite, a moderately-recompensed professional class meeting their skilled needs, and the rest of the population is labouring poors meeting their unskilled needs

Historically we have always been a blue state is what I mean. Also from my expearnece most of the "Rightist" Mainers are Ron Paul Libertarians, they are pretty open minded too.


Still I would like them to use the word "Liberal" over "Leftist" I don't want to be grouped with them.

I'm from York county (kinda don't want to say the city because.. Its wierd ya kno) Just from a small city in the South of the state. Love it here!

Yeah, I like that about Maine a lot too.
Are you a red quarter socialist or a green quarter socialist?

Traps not my thing, but thanks anyways.

Same, I even have some Libertarians friends haha. (they even say they would work with Leftists for an independent republic of Maine lol)

Green I guess, those tests are kinda broken.


Sorry user…

Oh the test the image comes from is dumb as shit but the chart is self is the best for mapping the distance and different political ideologies.
Also good. That means you won't come to kill me if a revolt ever happens in Maine.

It's ok, I can appreciate niche fetishes. You enjoy 'em traps buddy.


Baby steps, and it was just an example.

Yeah, not a fan of that chat test thing. Don't worry the only "Leftists" that would kill you would be the ones from Portland lol

It's a shame too, its a really nice city…

Very true. I am an out of stater but my grandparents live on an island off the coast of Portland. Dudes up there fishing lobsters for a living are really independent. Cool people

I can't comment on the whole state but Portland seems ripe for radicalization. Taken part in protests there that were a little bit more hardcore than typical liberal bullshit. I think the key is pushing them over the edge, an effective propaganda campaign to educate the progressives and push them left would be really effective there.

As a man who have lived here for a couple years now and is currently laying in his bedroom in Portland, NO.

Portland is a liberal hellhole with few co-operatives that idpol infested hippies started, only because they heard they here hip in the 70s. Portland slowly being gentrified by out of state property firms with Mainers being indirectly displaced out of the city buy huge price hikes on apartments that should not be pricey and old historical buildings being torn down by out of state property firms and replaced with same-looking "luxury" condominiums that are empty for all of winter and fall as the snowbirds go back to NY and CA to "escape our scary winters".

Honestly all the anarchists I know of live in Waterville. Other than myself. The USM "Socialist club" has one autistic blue haired genderqueer Marxist who only does it for attention and 10 authoritarian liberal lesbians who think socialism is rasing taxes on the rich and hoping for the Deep State to assassinate Trump and install Killary by force.

all the northern New England states have almost no gun laws whatsoever.

Oh shit man, I'm sorry. Got that vibe but I guess I am completely off base. Really its a fucking shame to hear all shit in regard to companies tearing buildings down. Been spending summers there for close to 30 years, that city means a lot to me.

Please, come, bring your friends and become MⒶiners and help me rid our home of this filth.

We workin' MⒶine folk gotta BUILD A WALL, a reel wicked wall, with a big wicked door. And at that door, we check your tax returns to see what tax bracket you're in, and if it's too high -well- believe me folks people like that, they won't be getting in.

WERE GONNA BUILD A WALL AND MAKE THE MASSHOLES PAY FOR IT!!!

Confederation of North Easter American Collectives when?

If California actually leaves the US, I wouldn't be surprised if some of the Northeast states leave too.

BAD HOMBRES

but fuck yea I'd move to Portland in a fucking heartbeat. live on the poverty line too so that'd take care of the tax return


I'm ok with this

I've been wishing for California to leave America for like 13 years, now they actually want to and I am so happy.

What sucks though is at this point it would just be a neoliberal succession. Two capitalists states battling it out. Gotta radicalize those fucks first

This has been a joke around here for a couple years now. Anyone who wants to do biz here or travel here to move here gets checked at the boarder of Maine to see if they're bourgeois or not. If they are they get deported back to Massachusetts/Canada at gunpoint.
I'm not kidding this is a thing people talk about.

Knowing this state, our "wall" would be made out of old snowmobile parts, duct tape, and a fuck load of tarps lol

But yeah massholes really do suck…
(and are even worse drivers)

I assure you that I absolutely do not give a singular fuck.
Californian representatives work their dicks off eight days a week to pass authoritarian liberal laws on a federal level that have personally affected my life and lives of everyone I know. Despite us being LITERALLY ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE CONTINENT California voters, with their liberal crybaby holyer-than-thou attitude to everyone who is not themselves, get a say in the daily lives of Mainers.
It has gotten to a point with me where the very concept of California existing infuriates me into the astral plane.
As an American I already live under an authoritarian liberal government and a capitalist economy. If California left they would be happy and Maine and all the rest of the states would have to deal with less of their shit.

Massholes are the reason why the Boston Marathon bombing happened tbqh

Really? Knowing Maine I imagine the base being made from slate-cute masonry and the rest from heavy timber.

Culturally, you guys sound more similar to your northern Newfie (and other maritime Canadian) neighbors than other Americans.

I was joking fyam


Old Orchard gets flooded with French Canadians, but they only come in the summer.

Somepeople love them some people hate them.
(they are bad drivers too, on par-with the massholes)

Sorry this was for you too

What law did California pass that affects Maine?

They can't pass things on their own, they are the ones always throwing all their weight behind shit in congress and they house that forces, on the federal level, the biggest, hottest, stinkyist piles of shit onto other states whether they like it or not. And California has a lot of weight to throw.

As a midwesterner, what's the attitude towards off gridders and gun toting stoners in rusting vehicles?

I need to know for reasons.

That mindset is popular in Maine, yeah.

Like I said in Ron Paul Libertarians are pretty into that. Even some Left Libertarians too.

Oh boy my favorite!
