Quote HistoryQuoted:  Quote HistoryQuoted: Quoted: If the US breaks up, it will likely be peaceful with some negotiated settlement to allow commerce and traffic between the two (or more) nations which are formed. If it is not peaceful then the war will be fought between organized armies under the authority of state governments. Because if there's anything the "United" States and its people are known for, it's that we're peaceful.

Quote HistoryQuoted: So there are thousands of americans just waiting for chaos to start murdering their foes? Ready for the ball to drop? Months into civil chaos for sure. Once local interactions played out negatively. Apparently all of America is just another Bosnia or Iraq or Papua New Guinea just waiting for the next shoe to drop and when it does everyone is going to go utterly insane with clan warfare. There will be ravenous biker armies in stifling leather bondage gear roaming the countryside looking for innocent victims who they will rape to death, eat their flesh then sew their skins into their clothes and if those victims are very lucky, they will do it in that order. You really expect that the moment the cops don't show up that there will be armies of soy fed antifa trussing you and your friends up by a chain and eating you like pirahanas?

Quote HistoryQuoted: People just wandering around trying to survive are really putting themselves at risk. Us rural folk are going to have to decide who is the thief and who is the beggar. It isn't going to be easy to tell them apart. If you can't articulate peaceful intentions, there could be a deep hole waiting. Don't start with batshit crazy talk like some here on GD for sure. Have a real good plan and keep moving until you get there. Entering the homes homes of country folk uninvited is a high risk move and not a good sign of peaceful intentions. Reminds me of the ending of The Road where the family comes upon the boy shortly after his father had died and takes him in. The dad remarks that they had been following them and watching them for some time, trying to assess if they were dangerous or not. I remember viewers not being able to understand what he meant - "watching them? Why? That's creepy" People couldn't wrap their minds around the fact that in a scenario like that, even revealing yourself to unknown persons can be a death sentence. On the flip side, if the father and son were good people, they could have increased their survival chances by banding together. I would probably be more likely to give consideration to anyone with children in tow. On your own and you show up? Hmm... the verdict is out at this time. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Yup. People ask, “ you are you going to fight ? The gov ? lol, they have tanks ! Some people will fight the military, some will attack whatever gov agents they see mailman to mayor, but many will go after everyday citizens who they believe are responsible for their problems. Purple hair ? Lgbtq bumper sticker ? Trump bumper stickers? POP, POP, POP. You might be perfectly safe in one area with your political shirt, lgbtq bumper sticker, green hair, feminist t shirt, but murdered instantly in a different area , all depends on the local make up of neighbors. People using voter rolls to pick and choose targets, stop someone, or look up neighbors , coworkers, etc pull up their social media likes, posts etc, “ oh you support X,Y,Z ? Your a registered dem / repub ? You voted for / had a xyz election sign in your yard ? POP, POP, POP. Use the chaos to settle scores, burn down their ex wife’s house, snipe their annoying neighbor, boss, ex, dude your wife cheated with and it’s blamed on liberal / conservative death squads. Everyone should be performing regular area studies to identify problem individuals, learn who your neighbors are and what they do (even if you don't know them), identify homes that have no visible alternate food source (almost everyone has a garden or chickens here), and attempt to identify the source or any target shooting you hear going on. Honestly. It's kind of fun even if you never ending up needing the knowledge you've gained. I was doing this actively during the height of the covid shortages and BLM rioting in 2020. I mentioned it to my wife at one point expecting her to call me crazy, instead she said "good" There is one particular problem neighbor that my wife flat out said, if anything ever happens "you need to proactively do something about him" - she is more hardcore than me. |

Quote HistoryQuoted:I wouldn't test that theory, if I was you. The left has been purging populations for a long time. It's part of their ideology. Did you think loading people on a train or sending them to gulags was a whim or recent invention?  Or one that is no longer possible. Governments have been committing plenty of murders without having to go all the way back to the Nazis which in the grand scale of time was yesterday. I would argue that oppression rather than freedom is the natural state of government. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: This is what I've always pictured - shit mysteriously blowing up, or burning down, folks waking up with the throats cut, or their car blows up on 'em, that sort of thing. When shit starts to get bad, it's going to be an insurgency, not open conflict. The sides are too lopsided for that. Quote HistoryQuoted: Quoted: It’s not going to be a clearly cut “whos side are you on” It’s gonna be guerrilla warfare and it is going to be a slow roll for a decade or so. It’s not going to flash in a pan, or go to war. It’s gonna be random OKC style events and assassinations. I predict it will be similar to the Irish troubles. That’s my thoughts, not sure it’s going to be true or not When shit starts to get bad, it's going to be an insurgency, not open conflict. The sides are too lopsided for that. Still surprised everyday that we haven’t woken up to perceived oppressor attacked, tar and feathered, or worse. It’ll kick off one day, or false flag style to try and direct the narrative, who knows? |

Around the feet of a charismatic leader. People are programmed more and more to be able to do heinous things to others. Look at the "Polar Bear Game" where tens of thousands of senior citizens have been targets of teens for decades now. It's perfectly acceptable in their culture to walk up behind a weak old man or lady and assault them for no reason other than their race attempting to knock them out or kill them with one blow. That's acceptable behavior to their culture like holding a door open for the elderly is in my culture. |

As an earlier poster said, don’t think Civil War 2, think Revolutionary War 2. Several reasons, probably the biggest one being that there are a lot of federal employees on this site who really can't seem to wrap their minds around the concept that the entire federal bureaucracy has already been weaponized and that they are nothing more than a pack of goons working for the new Stasi. Also because it wasn't obvious enough. What I said on this subject was sarcasm. For all the people who are shrieking that this country will turn into Iraq or Bosnia this country doesn't have nearly as long a history of blood feuds as either of those places. While there has been some conflict like Bleeding Kansas and the Hatfield v McCoy thing these are not conflicts that are going to flare up into an all out war anytime soon. The one such thing like that I'm kinda worried about would be the feds making deals with various Latin American gangs. Using them as enforcers for their increasingly insane diktats. We aren't at that point just yet, but I think we will get there sooner or later. At which point the federal government will be seen as illegitimate to anyone with more than 2 brain cells. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: A civil war over what? Bumper stickers? Gay pride flags? Political signs in people's yards? There is no Mason/Dixon line in American politics today. Most of rural California and New York are conservative, they still show up to vote, knowing that it's hopeless. Everyone at least gets a say in local politics. The left has been promoting this narrative, as have Russian propagandists. The only groups coming close to actual street violence has been Antifa and BLM, most of whom are drug addled leftists who can't legally own firearms. Anyone promoting violence should be arrested. If they aren't citizens, they should be deported. If they are spies, they should be tried and executed if found guilty. In order for a civil war to take place, there would have to be a well-defined end goal, that end goal does not exist. I’ll give it an 8/10 on the gaslighting scale.

Quote HistoryQuoted: National guard assets will be completely consumed in urban cities. Active duty will slowly filter back CONUS to fill in where the national guard can't. Local law enforcement will immediately comply with national law enforcement requirements. I believe that urban gangs will quickly control large areas of cities and the racial boundaries will become very real. I think a civil war will start in those urban areas and ethnic enclaves will fare the best while white suburbia will fare the worst. Rural areas that revert the isolation might be okay but nepotism and large family influence will find cults of personality. lol |

Here's how i see it because it's already happening.
The US will go through a sort of "soft" break-up along political lines where you'll have groups of states that are conservative controlled patch together in mutual agreements against the feds. Not a break-away or even formal secession. You'll see something like an axis of states say Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama and Florida get together and basically declare they will be taking a sanctuary stance against anything they disagree with from the democrat controlled federal government. Basically a "go ahead, elect Biden for the 5th time, ban assault weapons, it doesn't apply here." Look what's going on right now with Florida and Texas working together on the Texas border against the federal open border policy. It's already happening. |

In Yugoslavia there were undoubtedly some circumcised Christians, but that didn't stop some missing foreskin from earning them a bullet since the practice of circumcision was most common amongst the Muslims. I can't say with any authority people will be lined up based upon hair color, but there is certainly historic precedence for these apparently mundane characteristics being used for such purposes. That's what happens in a crisis when there isn't time for specificity. Field expedient methods are developed to PID and often times they're little more than, "if it looks like a duck and quacks like a duck..." |

Quote HistoryQuoted: I don't think Meth Damon killed everyone. I thought there was a rationale behind who they killed. Contrast that with the sniper in the house who apparently shot at everyone who passed by, regardless of uniform/clothing, hair color, allegiance. However, I think few civil wars are drawn along geographical lines. Wars of succession of geographical by nature, but true civil wars tend to be fights for the whole pie. Insurgencies, terrorism, resistance movements, and other "low intensity" conflicts also tend not to fall according to lines on a map but rather lines in the sand. Damon didn't kill anyone. |

Look what's going on right now with Florida and Texas working together on the Texas border against the federal open border policy. It's already happening. I think the only problem with that scenario is that the Democrats have shown what their plan will be to stop that with Trump's case. They have already been talking about indicting Greg Abbott and Ron DeSantis in blue states for "kidnapping". And, then they will feel entitled to use a heavy hand to extradite these "dangerous criminals". In other words, I just don't think they will allow a peaceful breakup. They feel they have too much to lose from that to allow it. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Or one that is no longer possible. Governments have been committing plenty of murders without having to go all the way back to the Nazis which in the grand scale of time was yesterday. I would argue that oppression rather than freedom is the natural state of government. Well said. People have short memories and never think they could be on the receiving end of force, be it government or bad faith neighbors. Anyone familiar with history at all knows this isn't the case. I would imagine we don't know half of the bad things that have gone on in the world, but that is plenty. |

It's interesting that in any civil war thread, little is mentioned about any possible lessons learned from ongoing civil wars in places like Somalia, Myanmar, Syria, Yemen, etc.
I would think that is more relevant than what happened over 150 years ago |
