The zero manufacturing myth is so pervasive. The US has still one of the highest Manufacturing Value Added per capita in the Frist World. It's not what it used to be, but it's still strong.
If the US, peacefully split in 7 or 8 new countries, there would be a period where the USD would be used by the new countries until they are established or make their own. Maybe the new black country that is created would fall down to a violent agrarian society, the New Mexico one would be taken by cartels. But others like the Northeast lefty Nation, the Midwest Belt, etc. would prosper and be no worse off than the UK or France.
I don't disagree with a blackpilled view of the world, but you are way to pessimistic about the outcome of a peaceful breakup. Even if it's a Civil War it wouldn't be that bad. Well, it'd be WW3, so it'd be quite terrible, but by the end of it, the new US countries wouldn't be in a terrible position to bounce back.
Name one modern example of a nation splitting up that didn't lead to economic turmoil and death, as well as international meddling by foreign powers.
There is a world of difference between economic turmoil and violent agrarian society.
Estonia, Uzbekistan, Germany.
Are we to pretend that foreign powers are not currently meddling in the affairs of the US? The goal of a peaceful split is to avoid a civil war and to allow the population to split itself into the desired new countries without having to fight. Do you think a planned split would end up with more or less economic turmoil, death, and meddling than the likely second civil war or the inevitable White minority à la Zimbabwe and South Africa?
