[ModelBreaker]

Too many of the countries of Africa and Asia and Latin America, are operating in something resembling free fall, to put it kindly. Government is whoever has the most guns;

Uh, this is true everywhere. We hide it a little better in America. But the stamp on every IRS 1040 is put there by a gun.

We can dismiss any thoughts of civil war. Conflicts in advanced societies aren't settled that way, and a situation in which isolated urban areas are opposed to the country at large doesn't lend itself to such an outcome.

It lends itself to civil war just fine if NY and LA decide to impose their values on the rest of us. As it will be democrats running the show, they will be unable to resist.

In the Russian Civil War, the Reds who controlled Leningrad and Moscow made war on the Russian heartland. The urbanites stirred up the agriculturalists so that they could seize their guns and their land. Already in California, the cities have seized water that used to go to the farmers.

Oooh! That’s a good one, I like that! How very damned true.

We can dismiss any thoughts of civil war. Conflicts in advanced societies aren't settled that way, and a situation in which isolated urban areas are opposed to the country at large doesn't lend itself to such an outcome.

If the isolated urban areas decide to become sanctuaries for criminals, where the police cannot persue, and where the criminals can venture forth to pillage and retreat to safe homes, then something WILL happen

[Leftism is Mentally Deranged]

We already have a big divide. On one side, the left which promotes jihad and marxism. On the other side, the right which allows the left to do whatever it wants.
