Expectations of perceived need for civil war in the USA: findings from a 2023 nationally representative survey
biomedcentral.com ^ | 29 August 2024 | various (six authors)

This is a garbage research paper by a UK-based company using California institutes to come to the conclusion that MAGA adherents are the primary threat for political violence. You read that right. Read the paper and come to your own conclusion; but the design of the study funnels respondents to groups that would presumably have MAGA followers. Goebbels would be so proud.

If you ever wanted to know why our governmental institutions are targeting conservatives, it is BS like this that passes itself off as peer-reviewed research; then goes into PubMed and elsewhere.

What's the big deal, it's just a paper, right?

So when an intel organization (hello US Northern Command, DIA, CIA and FBIdiots) does a search on Palantir for research products......up pops this BS to justify their analysis.

This is beyond bias. They name likely MAGA organizations they want to call out, without including any of the Marxists organizations.

Interestingly, there is no study of what would be the tripwires towards violence. By implication, there is no justifiable use of force against tyrannical government in this model. It's all lumped into vague umbrella of "political violence." The American Stasi justifies its training, orientation, preparation, and execution of operations. This is how those slides from Ft Bragg were developed, surmising that pro-Life adherents could be terrorists. Notice Christian Nationalists are included.

I would call attention to this survey to your Congressman. This is rigged to influence. It doesn't have pure academic intentions by its design. Get on social media and call these idiots out.

We're already in a civil war. There's not going to be a formal declaration of war or a single incident. Just increased escalation from time to time.

So far we've been losing, though I haven't lost hope.

Hitler is smiling? I don't think so. Russia has Hitler's teeth locked up in the Kremlin. Maybe Hitler is "grinning".

I expect a division into 2-3 blocks of states.

Whether it involves war is a separate issue.

“conservatives seek agreement while liberals demand compliance” L.Star. best take on The Second Amendment...”The second Amendment exists primarily to deal with people who just won’t take NO! for an answer”. guess which political party just won’t take NO! for an answer.

So, you don’t fit the “moody loners with handguns” profile (h/t P.J. O’Rourke).

What an Audacious Hoax Reveals About Academia

Three scholars wrote 20 fake papers using fashionable jargon to argue for ridiculous conclusions.

Over the past 12 months, three scholars—James Lindsay, Helen Pluckrose, and Peter Boghossian—wrote 20 fake papers using fashionable jargon to argue for ridiculous conclusions, and tried to get them placed in high-profile journals in fields including gender studies, queer studies, and fat studies. Their success rate was remarkable: By the time they took their experiment public late on Tuesday, seven of their articles had been accepted for publication by ostensibly serious peer-reviewed journals. Seven more were still going through various stages of the review process. Only six had been rejected.

This is part psyop and part “weaponizing of information” from so-called trusted sources.

It results in wrong public perceptions, bad policy, ignorance of the real ails in the republic, and eventually leads to trampling basic constitutional rights.

Ironically, this is how you start a civil war because it plunges headlong into the tripwires.

It’s also how you get a former president and leading candidate shot. Say he’s Hitler enough and someone will justify killing him.

The pigs in DC will never, ever, allow any such division of property they own. Lands. Houses. People. It’s all nothing but assets to DC.

The dims are setting up conditions to round up conservatives and put them in camps.

If America returns to her covenant with God Almighty (and it appears she is doing just that) then her people will never allow civil war.

The reason normal Americans don’t relate with the call for civil war is because it’s coming directly from America’s enemies.
