It will be like the Troubles in N. Ireland.

Perhaps it will. Most of the violence of the troubles in Ireland was made by about 200-250 people in the provisional Irish Republican Army. Two hundred against the Irish police, the British Army, the Protestants, the 14th Intelligence Corps, the SAS and Frank Kitson's particularly nasty form of counterintelligence.

The Brits didn't stand a chance. Less wholesale assassinations, the Irish Marxists could have kept it up forever.

Major General Sir "Bloody" Frank Kitson, 1971, now Knight Commander (The Most Honourable Order of the Bath)

Maybe sell it to William Jennings Bryan.
He makes crosses out of it, or something.

I think it’s a pretty lame article. IMHO, at least a couple of mine are better, the most recent being this one:

BRACKEN: COVINGTON GIVES A GLIMPSE OF CIVIL WAR TWO

Matt Bracken :" The Covington confrontation points to an ironclad historical pattern.
Every previous genocide in modern times was preceded by a similar pattern of public demonization
of state-designated scapegoats.
But is correlation causation?
Does the American Left intend to eventually commit genocide against white heritage American males?
In my opinion, yes.
Scapegoating is part of a clear pattern of conduct seen during every socialist power grab
from the French Revolution until now."

I would agree, except I would now include :
of state-designated (and media designated) scapegoats .
Historically, it used to be that the media and press were the "Fourth Estate", used to keep politicians honest,
but now we find the media and press as the "Fifth Columnists", who believe that their function is to provoke change.
Long ago, they were politically independent and mostly objective, or at least pretended to be neutral,
now a days, rather than just report the news, they incite, organize, and create their own chaos and news.
The Covington incident demonstrates their intent to run with a meme, which then spreads without journalistic integrity,
and then resulting in the ruining the reputation of the innocent, and further debasing their credibility.
Scapegoating results in the innocent being identified as the provocateurs .

It was early 1999, and the young COBAL programmer could take no more. He was sooo tired of making sure every system went from two- to four-digit dates he couldn’t stand it. Nervous and fearful, he went to a cryogenics lab to be frozen for 10 years, until all the Y2K chaos and fervor was over.

He awoke to an army of folks surrounding his container - all dressed really weirdly, some appeared to be floating, with all kind of devices, some of which appeared to be television cameras, complete with 3D laser holograms of him being projected in the air.

He motioned for water, and croaked in a very weak voice, “Wow, who would have thought that things would be so different in 2009?”

“Well, there was a little glitch in your chamber...”, a spokesman said, “It’s 9999, and you’re the only COBAL programmer left to help us go to 5 digits.”

I wouldn’t mind having a “Lotta” rifle. Finnish m24.

“This auxiliary organization founded after the Finnish war of Liberation in 1919 was known as the “Lotta Savard”. The group would go on to organize and raise funds to allow the purchase and refurbishment of 10,000 m/24 rifles for the Civil Guard. Thus the m/24 would bear the nickname “Lottakivaari” or “Lotta’s rifle”

Agreed. Perhaps this article will generate some useful debate.

Unlike the author, who sees “what might be a storm coming,” I see a storm coming!

The LIEberals WILL NEVER accept DJT as POTUS!

LIEberals will continue to ratchet up the rhetoric and their anti-Trump activities, all the while testing conservative resolve to not let them prevail.

At some point, the tipping point WILL be reached.

Following is my take on the steps that will lead to actual civil war.  I humbly call it the Wilder Countdown to Civil War II™.
  1. Things are going well.
  2. People begin to create groups.
  3. People begin to look for preferential treatment.
  4. Opposing ideology to the prevailing civic ideology is introduced and spread.
  5. Those who have an opposing ideology are considered evil.
  6. People actively avoid being near those of opposing ideology.  Might move from communities or states just because of ideology.
  7. Common violence. Organized violence is occurring monthly.
  8. Opposing sides develop governing/war structures.  Just in case.
  9. Common violence that is generally deemed by governmental authorities as justified based on ideology.
  10. Open War.

 

I think step #8 is out of place. We have been at this step for quite some time now. If I focus on "governing" then yeah. We have had state and federal laws designed on ideology requiring us to support abortion, queer marriages, border invaders, and so much more.

We don’t have the economic conditions for Civil War 2

If we did and “
expect whoever wins to pursue a policy of revenge at the end, especially if it’s the Communists. This is founded based on every single communist revolution ever. The end of Civil War I occurred in a growing young country with the opportunity to move West. Now? Whoever wins will cleanse whatever areas they take.”

The Communist don’t win because they fight for suppression, people fighting for freedom are more incentive ized

However, cleansing will take place just not an absolute numbers like the other side would do

The Finns noted problems with the bayonet lug, handguard and sights, cured on the 28-30 model, of which I have had 3. It also has a .3085 bore, most suitable for American-access commercial bullets.

The soldiers of Finland's Civil Guard had to buy their own rifles. Thus, *old hands* tended to keep their old rifles, newer and younger soldiers had the new stuff. But either will perform, though I can tell the difference. The 28-30 has the edge.

I would add morality to your list. An immoral society will destroy itself. We are becoming a godless society, with evil celebrated and good punished.

The pendulum has swung too far to the left; a correction has to come.

I have read that the best comparison for what may be coming in CWII is the Spanish Civil War. There are many similarities between the two sides in that conflict to what we have now. Highly recommend learning about it if you are unfamiliar: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spanish_Civil_War

There will be no CWII. Americans allowed 8 years of an illegitimate president, onerous tax laws and unconstitutional gun laws. See tagline.

Most media are the propaganda wing of the DNC.
