I’m getting in shape too. Recently got a manual labor job to speed up the process. If Civil War happens, I’ll at least be strong and fast enough to kill some fascist scum.

If a major civil disruption were to happen in the US, we simply do not have clear ideological or geopolitical lines that are defined enough to create two different sides. How do you know you're fighting fascists and not just some dumb father of four who literally thinks ISIS-funded Antifa-members are coming to kill his kids. Do we really want that kind of endless murder like we've seen in the middle East? we should be thinking about every possible way to avoid that, because there's no ending for that scenario.

You're going to see many, many years of escalating, isolated violence and "insurgence lite" type events long before we get to an actual "civil war" and we would need actual opposing armies, and right now the military is loyal to the US and the constitution, which means office of the president, etc.

We are going to be served a lot better in the next several decades with people exercising community and political involvement, we can still turn this boat around but if everyone defaults to some dumb Tim Pool narrative that there's going to be "civil war" people are not going to want to do the logical and reasonable thing.

Congratulations on no longer being a part time dog walker. You'll be surprised how quickly having a real job makes you sick of lefties though.

I had the opposite experience. more exposure to ignorant conservatives showed me how selfish and stupid so many are

Well I'll admit, I'd be lying if I said I hadn't known plenty of people who fit that mould too.

As a leftie, I actually agree.

A lot of the young progressive "movement" in this country has become so neutered and sheltered that they can't socialize much less mobilize movements or political action, and then talk about unrealistic ideals and fantasies about revolutions.

Our world's general intelligence level is flagging all around and that's more concerning than the momentary differences in ideology that we've seen swing back and forth for the last thousand years.
