    We have Nazis on the streets of Minneapolis, going door to door asking about Asians. The odds of those bastards stopping peacefully is pretty damn unlikely.

      You have no idea what a civil war even is. Truly go read and learn about historical civil wars in modern times. I think you’re just some edgy teen who spends way too much time online. Violence occurring is one thing, but a civil war is a complete different thing.

        Dude. I read an awfully lot of history, watched the entirety of Ken Burn’s Civil War and Vietnam series, read over 1,500+ pages of Larry Gonick’s Cartoon History, listened to many episodes of Dan Carlin, and Behind the Bastards.

        You have a different viewpoint from me, that war is bad and nasty. That is fair. But you are attacking me as a person, and reveal your colors: someone who can’t handle the idea that someone else has a different reasoning and perspective about the world. You are trying to infantize me.

        I know that the odds of my death are probable if a 2nd American Civil War happens, as I intend to serve as an infantryman or whatever role is needed. But you know what? It is worth dying over, because I don’t want the latter half of my life to be ruled by the likes of Thiel, nor do I wish to die in RFK’s “wellness” camps. As a minority, I intend to live decently, and die on my terms.

          I’m glad you’ve listened to those podcasts and stuff, I love Carlin’s Hardcore History and also BtB (also check out It Could Happen Here). Then you should know the level of death and suffering you’re calling for, for massive amounts of people that will have nothing to do with anything. Babies, elderly, sick, many of them will die due to infrastructure and logistics issues, water and power losses due to attacks, etc. Massive emigration and refugees all over the world, but mostly to Canada and Mexico, leading to way more international issues.

          If you want to die for a cause, go do something that you think will make a difference (though I don’t think that’s the best idea), but don’t call for the deaths of millions of innocent bystanders. There can be limited violence and not an all out civil war. I hope there’s no or as little violence as possible, but I think anyone following anything can see which way it’s going. However a civil war is never needed.

            I think a civil war is nearly inevitable, thus I want my side to prepare, both mentally and materially. That can be domestic service, states making compacts and foreign treaties, the stockpiling of goods and arms, or offering one’s body in the line of combat.

            I have no useful skills, so my blood will have to do.

          Also: go outside for a bit, go volunteer at a Food Not Bombs or something. Get offline.

            Fuck no. You are telling me to bury my head in the sand and ignore reality. You are welcome to ignore the world around you, but don’t ask me to carry water for your sanewashing.

              I don’t know where you got all of that, I didn’t say any of that
