Original headline: World’s biggest hedge-fund manager ‘thrilled’ with Biden’s inauguration speech but still believes America’s on ‘brink of terrible civil war’
Back in early December, Ray Dalio, the billionaire founder of Bridgewater Associates, sounded the alarm on class and power struggles that are tearing the country apart, saying the U.S. “at a tipping point in which it could go from manageable internal tension to revolution and/or civil war.”
A few weeks and a new president later, and Dalio does not seem to be getting any more optimistic about the nation’s prospects going forward.
“I believe we are on the brink of a terrible civil war,” Dalio wrote. “We are at an inflection point between entering a type of hell of fighting or pulling back to work together for peace and prosperity that addresses the big wealth, values, and opportunity gaps we’re now seeing.”
He did say, however, that he was “thrilled” by what President Joe Biden had to say at his inauguration last week.

If a red sate rebellion happened the US military would shrink overnight with than more then half of the US military defecting.
I wish for a peaceful secession but know it could lead to war which is risk well worth taking IMO.
The US military a tiny pimple compared to the size of a potential fully mobilized red state army.
The US military is a joke when you think about the size of the standing army vs the population of the USA.
Look at what dems do (Bidens EOs) not what they say ("unity").
They mean our destruction. Peace is a sirens call.

White liberal elites are doing everything they can to start a civil war... they kick us, they lie about us and they’re trying to pit us against black citizens.
The saving grace in this whole mess is that black people have been the victims of same style of control tactic by white elites in the Jim Crow days. Lots of them recognize it and are not playing along.
One in six black men voted for Trump AND 40% of Hispanics... that’s messed up the ‘hate plan’ white liberal elites were going to use against us. Watch this weeks Bill Maher... it’s chilling.
2,000,000 members of the Armed Forces. 80% conservative, 20% liberal.
800,000 sworn law enforcement officers. 50% conservative, 50% liberal.
Regardless of their political leanings, they are dwarfed by the sheer numbers of Americans owning firearms and the number of firearms and rounds of ammunition those Americans own.
When you are fighting the "four block war" of a Civil War, particularly in densely populated areas, major military weapons systems such as aircraft carriers, nuclear weapons, and tanks have limited utility.
Civil wars are far more destructive than most people can comprehend. Order breaks down as the military and police melt away to protect their own families.As horrific and bloody as our own Civil War was, it wasn't really a civil war, but more akin to a war between nation states.
Our infrastructure is far more fragile than most realize. When it breaks down, and it will collapse in the event of civil war, our cities become unlivable.
Others have already done the analysis and math, but figure on 42 million dead, 13.5% of the population, and at least that many wounded.
You won't have to go looking for the civil war, it will find you.
Conservative won't start it, the brain dead socialists who stole an election will bring it on themselves through their own stupidity and arrogance.
Already their actions make the entangling and complicated "statecraft" of European nations prior to August 1914 look like wisdom personified.
And it won't take the assassination of a minor Archduke and his wife to get it started. The Dildocrats are too busy arrogantly bumbling around in a dark powder magazine trying to strike a match and light a candle so they can take control of EVERYTHING to need an external pretext for war.
Anyone who has ever witnessed or experienced a civil war such as in the former republics or Yugoslavia, Somalia, or any number of other hellholes around the world and throughout history KNOWS you don't want a civil war. They also recognize the conditions, and most importantly the political leadership that makes them extremely probable.
The prudent individual goes dark, quiet, and prepares for a calamity they earnestly pray does NOT befall this nation.
Somewhere Bridgewater Associates was listed as having withdrawn political donations in protest of Trump’s alleged egging on rioters at the Capitol on Jan. 6th.
If so, I hope he gets what he’s talking about.
I hope we never have to find out
Shipping would be the only way to feed the people which mostly it would go too the armies and key people first.
The only positive thing that would come from the war would be there would be far more K-selection after (fromm r/K-selection theory.) People that need to survive learn to care for the family and small community first.
Just whimper and moan.
They have already pushedbus far enough to know we won’t fight.
The propaganda frenzy against the innocent right after the capitol break-in demonstrates to me that there can ce no civil war. There’s nothing to shoot at, and the instituions are all sold out to soft totalitarianism.
There was only one Dem voice, Tulsi Gabbard, raised against the disgusting Brennan comments last week and/or the so-called domestic terrorism bill.
He’s absolutely correct which is why everyone should be praying that Trump and the military take the Biden administration out in the next month or so.
That sort of talk will get a visit by the FBI...
Like my sister once said, “joke ‘em if they can’t take a [frack]”
In your case it’s yokem mot joke ‘em.
Let them come. They are a clown show. I’ll have it up on YouTube in 2 minutes.
