What would such a conflict look like?
East St Louis. A flash mob of blacks hits a Best Buy store, intent on looting it of electronics. Store security is overwhelmed and beat to the ground. Two customers with CCW permits in the back of the retail area draw their weapons and begin forcing the crowd back toward the entrance. One of the looters pulls out a hand gun, firing at the two customers, one of whom goes down, but not before killing some of the blacks.
A standoff ensues, giving time for law enforcement to arrive. The event is contained with casualties of seven dead and nineteen wounded.
Fast forward to the criminal trial of the two armed customers, one Asian and one white. They are sentenced to five years in prison, with the sentence suspended in lieu of ten years probation.
Black activists are infuriated and incite riots. with looting and arson. More rioters are bused in from outside the city. To prevent the influx of more protesters, the county sheriff blocks freeways into the city.
Since these freeways constitute part of the Interstate Highway system, the federal government demands freeways be reopened. County and local officials refuse.
The governor activates the National Guard to dislodge the LEO blockade, but on their arrival at the scene, most of the guardsmen refuse the governor’s order to fire on the LEO forces.
As rioting in the city continues, the mayor and city council institute curfews and threaten martial law. Nothing has any effect. When the governor then declares martial law, the city officials resign en masse.
Army troops are mustered but before they can get to the city, the National Guard on scene purges governor-supporting officers and unites with the LEO and state troopers.
Whether to wage war on our own troops splits the federal government into factions along party and racial lines, paralyzing the legislature. Inability to address perceived grievances results in riots in cities across the US, usually pitting whites against blacks.
The president, blamed for ineffectual leadership, goes on TV resigning to allow for racial ‘healing,’ turning the presidency over the his VP, a black woman who proves to be radically anti-law enforcement. Her Cabinet fails to implement the president’s removal under the 25th amendment and every member either resigns or is fired.
Faced with civil unrest throughout the country, the president declares martial law, resulting in the dismissal of the Army Chief of Staff, who refused to initiate enforcement of martial law. Most of the remaining Army brass also perform what was described as ‘mutiny in place.’
Unable to enforce her will, the president goes on TV and proclaims an end to the Republic, allowing direct rule from the White House. The Congress erupts as the nation burns.
State militias battle federal troops as civilians wage war in the city streets.
Civil War II has begun.
This war will be between family members, friends, communities.
Socialism/communism is like cancer that has spread all over the body.
Fighting it will not be as clean and easy as fighting flash mobs or marching hordes of thugs.
Just a few weeks ago, I met with my family attorney regarding a will. He told me that his wife is a liberal in many of her beliefs and he admitted that frankly he just doesn't have the will to fight her (not that he was ever that conservative).
He said that she's a liberal because she's just tender-hearted.
This is how socialism/communism preys on many people. It sells the "con" in the name of "tender-heartedness" and by the use of virtue signaling.
This enemy is sneaky. It can infect people by just making them unsure of what they believe.
Now how do you wage war (and like it or not we must wage war), when the enemy invades the members of your family?
All from a feral mob wanting to steal a few iPhones. Who’d a thunk? “The butterfly effect” in action.
Ping; you need to see sparklite’s post here.
