Title: How would US Civil War 2.0 go?
Post by: arch warmonger on June 07, 2021, 01:57:58 AM
The obvious aim of the left since ~2012 has been to push for a civil war. Burn Loot Murder Black Lives Matter, Antifa, legislation to take kids from parents who don't want to castrate them, there's only one way this can end. So how would things turn out? On the one hand, the Democrats would be far more capable of turning out a concentrated force, due to them being concentrated in cities. On the other hand, the Republicans own all the food production and all the guns. Also, in the event of a mass power outage, cities would become deathtraps with (more) rampant crime and murder taking place with no clear hierarchy or order, blunting their ability to form a meaningful fighting force.

I personally think this would be a wash in favor of the (R)'s. What do you think?

That all would require people to get up off their asses. We're too comfortable, even in the age of Covid, to do that.

Yeah, because overweight southern xtian racists with AR-15s are such strategic thinkers. They already lost the war Einstein, fighting for the right to own black people. But back then they were in shape and could leave the air conditioning for a few hours, LOL. Nobody is scared of assholes carrying torches and wearing robes. Because they are idiots.

These people are the ones who are scared. Scared of science, technology, Mexicans, blacks, atheists, youth, vaccines, Satan and of change. In fact these wussies cower behind their guns and all that ever happens is they shoot themselves or their kids by accident,

As a non-american, nor a republican or a Democrat, in my view it's not the left that is pushing for a civil war.

For fuck's sake, January 6 was the most civil warish thing you lot had since the Civil War. Confederate flags and all.

And those calling out the loudest for it are nut jobs dressed like vikings, out of shape middle aged guys who think that carrying a rifle and wearing a Hawaiian shirt makes them soldiers and whiny bitches that cry in disbelief that someone had the audacity to mace them as they stormed the capital to overthrow the government in honor of their revolution.

And that was the pick of the litter. Picture the ones that didn't have the balls to try and start an open war. (Of course later on they will say "You should have been there!")

It's funny how the people who pride themselves on their "patriotism" constantly talk about starting a Civil War. You celebrate the Confederacy (who, may I remind you, were the enemies of the United States), even defending keeping statues glorifying its leaders on government property. All the while, you wait for your chance to start Confederacy 2.0, but you totally love this country, right? It's the people kneeling during the National Anthem that want to destroy America. lol

The seeds of fascism and even eugenics were already in America before World War II. But Hitler kinda made it uncool to like those things, and when we went to war with him, they used religion as the alternative...for some reason. More god equals less fascism, supposedly. Given that fascists and Neo Nazis are pretty much all Christian extremists, I think it's safe to say that theory was bunk.

This is Kyle Rittenhouse. He went to the Kenosha riot without the intention to massacre rioters or even to enforce any kind of law, and yet he managed to kill 2 people and severely injure a third, in each instance in reaction to somebody else's attack. If he had gone in with the intention to just kill people he probably would have dispersed the riot by himself.

He's not some crazy ex-Navy Seal. He's not some crazy who lives in a shack in the woods training all day. He's a kid who paints fences for fun.

Right, and how many left-wing militants and sympathizers in any given city? Like a few hundred to a few thousand? How much do you train? How many guns do you own? Vs Cletus and all his friends owning 5 AR's and a stack of bullets that doubles in size every time there's a whiff of new gun control legislation playing with guns day in day out on their private land. And oh all those black and brown gangs who hate whitey, you think they'll follow you? Or do you think maybe they'll just loot and pillage randomly without giving a shit about what the white left says except to hunt down and beat the shit out of LGBTards the way they do now in places with low police presence? Who exactly do you think are killing all those BLACK TRANS WOMEN

And how well do you think leftists would maintain control if the cities were to go to them? Look at CHAZ, it had a murder rate PER WEEK of like 2 per 100. And that's with a steady supply of food and donations from outside with people being able to come and go whenever they want, a small area that should have been manageable, and the threat of a police crackdown looming in the background. If CHAZ was a preview of things to come then holy fucking shit this will be hilarious. They don't even have to kill you, you'll kill each other.

tl;dr

Excuse me. We're not going up against anybody. You're the one's trying to pick a fight. Luckily for us, you're too stupid to find your way out of paper bag. You dumbasses tried to start a revolution this year. Did law enforcement take your side? Nope. Did the military step in and help you? Nope. Yet you've convinced yourself that they'll be in your corner when this imaginary Civil War comes. I wish Trump would have tried to stay in the White House. Then we would have had the pleasure of seeing him forcefully removed by the military, and any hopes you had of a revolution completely squashed. You're completely delusional.

Having an army does help when you're fighting a war, yes. And you're living in a fantasy world if you think they're going to betray their country to help you. Go ahead and try it. It'll be the shortest war in American history.

1. I doubt the left would ever be organized enough to keep cities from descending into massive looting and anarchy, or even stay alive longer than a few months. The military won't fight for that. If anything, YOU will be profiled as being the enemy.
2. LOTS of people will gladly betray their government, or at least refuse to do their jobs, if they think it's collapsing. The US isn't special in this respect. See: The collapse of the Soviet Union, Francisco Franco's forces fighting against the Spanish Republic.

Although I do agree that there won't be a civil war unless there's some kind of wider social breakdown or a terrible political crisis.

But it's interesting to see your change of tack. You use your anecdote of left-wing gun nuts, I counter with pretty irrefutable statistics, and now you switch tactics and say "Well violence is for losers nurrrr" after it's become obvious that you will lose, easy.

I counter with pretty irrefutable statistics

Truly?

You live in a country with more guns than people.
I agree that republican households are gonna, on average, be more likely to have guns in their households than democrats. I also agree that extreme right-wing nut jobs are gonna be more likely to have guns in their households than their more moderate contemporaries.
But the first fact, in combination with this, ought to tip you off to an important other truth. Namely these groups are also more likely to have a lot more guns. And what use is that? Having seven hunting rifles, 4 ancient shotguns and a closet full of machine-gun. What use is that if you are one man to operate them? You can operate two guns simultaneously at most, and you are still only one body that can be taken out.
The right might have more guns. It is true. But make no mistake, for here is another 'irrefutable statistic', the republican party is a minority party that has only managed to cling to relevancy by exploiting an inherently broken electoral system and gerrymandering. And their members are averagely older. Relatively speaking more of their, remember fewer in total, members are near 60 or over. Relatively more are 70 or over. Hardly the stuff of armies of legend you are advocating. Those red vs blue maps always eye impressive, but you need remember how many people actually live where.
Now, a deranged gramps clutching a double-barrel shotgun could surely blow my head clean off. But I don't see him running tactics and hiding in self-dug trenches  taking on a tank with that gun and his meagre bones.
Which is another point. How many armored vehicles does your dream-army have ? How many attack-helicopters? Freighters? Jets? Unmanned drones capable of striking from clear skies? How many bombs? How much napalm? How many bomb-diffusal squads? How many trained paramedics? How many wisened generals? How many trained soldiers at all?
You have guns. That is it. You have no significant other means. Nor the infrastructure, the insight and the training. You have a bunch of militias. Their numbers not even close to the total amount of the minority party that encompasses them. And when the bullets start flying, not even all of them will actually be brave enough to answer the call. There is a reason why you don't often hear of 'a good guy with a gun' stopping 'the bad guy with a gun': being in a gunfight is fucking terrifying, man. So you have a part of a part of a minority party that would try to take on what is still arguably the strongest military in the world. And you are a fool to think if the military would align itself with those fringe lunatics over the government.
You wish these people luck,? Might I quote the king beyond the wall, for no; *I* wish you good fortune in the wars to come.

And all that said, it is a ridiculous idea to think a civil war could even 'properly' come to pass, even in the current tough political climate of the U.S. I could say why I feel so, but I've already spent a lot of words on this so far. And you seem to agree on that to some degree at least, even if perhaps for different reasons (I don't know). So I'll leave it at that.

The 1320 "discovery" has been Wong Lee reported for centuries.
