I don’t want a civil war. Those are the worst wars. Just finished reading Robert Graves’ brilliant novel “Mrs. Milton” about the English civil war. Worse in many ways than our own.
I don't either, but I remain vigilant to the possibility.
The communists in Russia, in Germany, in China, and so forth, simply would not leave the ordinary folk alone. They are driven to make changes to society that result in them being empowered through totalitarian government, and I fear they may eventually try to do here what their counterparts have already done in other countries.
And now the tech oligarchy is helping them. I get the eerie feeling not unlike the Jews in 1930s Germany, that there is something in the air that does not bode well for us.

Yet ours will be much similar and much different in ways.
The regressive, racist, fascists won’t stop. Their ideology is at root the same as Lenin’s, Stalin’s, Mao’s, Hitler’s, Hirohito’s and radical Islam. It seeks control of the human spirit.
My Dad spent four years in a Jap prison camp after surviving the Bataan Death March. He was treated as a slave. He was beaten as a slave. But he was never a slave.
He had three brothers. One helped build the bomb, one built island airfields, and the third built bombers. They help free him and when 250,000 Japanese civilians burned or later died, he came home.
The Japanese chose badly. As do the regressive, racist fascists.
The question isn’t whether you do not want a civil war. The question is are you willing to be a slave.
