I remember the Y2K hoax
CW2 will resemble the American Revolution, which was a real civil war, with atrocities especially in the South.
I think that #7 at the end of the article is where Chicago and other cities are at.
Will Canada close their doors?
My wife had NPR on this morning and they were calling for the government to investigate ‘Right Wing Extremism’ and how Trump is promoting right wing violence. They want the FBI to go after anyone they don’t like.
Just my personal opinion but I say if Barr let’s the coup conspirators walk the government of the USA is finished. The libtards have been trying to Cloward Piven it to death for 50 years or more. The thing that saved it was “conservatives” trying to “save Our Country”. Once we realize it ain’t our country anymore and our hope is for what comes after the USA there won’t be ANYBODY who wants to do anything to “save the government of the USA”. At that point it’s over. Again, just my humble opinion, but how can a government survive when NO ONE wants it?
7. Common violence. Organized violence is occurring monthly.
Any cities with “leaders” who tolerate ANTIFA violence - case in point, Portland and Seattle - are already at this point.
The yankees were mostly from East Anglia, which was an Anglo-saxon area conquered and settled by Vikings. Virginians were settled mostly by people from Wessex, which was an area where the Anglo-saxons defeated the Vikings.
From this perspective, the American civil war, in a way was a continuation of the War between Anglo-Saxons and Vikings,
It will be like the Troubles in N. Ireland.
No one is going to tolerate any type of mass organized armies roaming around, causing chaos.
As one who managed Y2K projects in the utility industry, let me be the first to tell you it was no hoax. If we had not marshaled the industry and spent huge amounts of money fixing the problem 1995 to 1999, you WOULD have been in the dark for a long time. It was very real. The reason you didn’t experience anything is hundreds of thousands of professionals in every industry worked diligently to fix the systems prior to the big day. BTW, thank you for paying for that big project — its cost was buried in every good and service you bought.
Now, can you get back on topic, UB355? The topic is CW II, not Y2K.
Thanks for posting, vannrox. Good and thoughtful article. Regarding his “steps that will lead to actual civil war,” #6 (”People actively avoid being near those of opposing ideology. Might move from communities or states just because of ideology”) really resonated with me. My wife and I are absolutely disgusted with California and bought a house in Northern Idaho for many reasons. His #6 was a factor in our decision.
“From this perspective, the American civil war, in a way was a continuation of the War between Anglo-Saxons and Vikings, “
Yeah, the whole analogy presented is just ridiculously goofy.
On a scale of 0 to 10 (where 10 is a Civil War very soon) we are, at most, at a 2.
Most folks in the U.S., are well-fed, and have plenty of toys. The furnace works, and the air conditioner works. The government is often heavy-handed, but it is not tsarist-oppressive. And the military is content.
True, there are plenty of folks who are upset about a lot of things. But how many folks are angry enough right now to seriously contemplate going out and waging war against their fellow citizens? I’d wager not many. Maybe 1% of the population.
Of course, a black swan event could occur. Like maybe the food chain breaking down for some reason. But after that, anarchy would occur. Not a civil war.
Two strong cultures can not exist in one space.
America was a “melting pot” because there was on strong culture and those migrating into our nation assimilated into that culture (while being allowed to keep some of their own).
That is not the case today. With hundreds of thousands from third world nations entering our nation with no intention of assimilating, friction will develop that will eventually lead to violence. Would that lead to CWII not necessarily. What we will see is that these migrants will take over territory and would be willing to kill anyone that comes into their territory, creating a “new nation” as it were.
They will be aided in this by our own politicians who will encourage and finance these enclaves.
The results I for see is more like the French Revolution then a Civil War. Citizens will turn against the government.
But we will have millions to fight, not just the aristicrats.
But I agree with you.
Im with him on the not before 2024. When Trump leaves office all bets are off.
"While we can’t predict catastrophic storms with 100% accuracy,
it’s probably about time that someone started looking at the horizon
to see what they could see."
OODA Loop
Societal factors that.. might lead to civil war:
Economic metrics - instability, income disparity, jealousy..
Organized violence metrics - some subtle, then organize overt violence ..
Political instability metrics - faction creation, leads to intollerance..
Sites banned - silencing/ ignoring oppostional voices..
Number of illegal immigrants per month - new cultures and volume of people who oppose assimilation ..
Your thoughts and comments welcomed.
The time to prepare for war,.. is during peace.
