No, Nope, No: It Is Not Time for a Civil War: Everyone out there asking whether it's time to "use the guns" against the government needs a hard and fast answer in the negative

Charlie Kirk was asked recently, at one of his lectures, whether now is a good time to "use the guns." He answered that it isn't, and I agree with him but only partially for the reasons he stated.

Simply put, the idea that right-wingers could start a revolution and win one, at this point in history, is comedy — and no, I don't care if that's the sole reason we have a Second Amendment and we have more AR-15s. First off, we don't own any of the institutions — including any branches of the military, which, although staffed with lots of great and respectable men, are currently run by woman-drafters, white-shamers, and tranny-loving butt-kissers.

I would add to this that social and big media are owned almost entirely by the left wing, which means we have no platform to mass-communicate. Do we run the CIA, or the FBI, or any national organization built to maintain law and order in a crisis? No — all of it is in possession of the left wing, which gives leftists a clear advantage in organization and persecution.

More importantly, I would posit that these United States are so completely interdependent that any kind of real split, even without bloodshed, would result in mass starvation and eventually death. This isn't the 1860s, when clothes could be homespun and farms were all family-owned. There isn't a single business in these states that maintains its existence within a single state: everyone is dependent on other businesses in other states, and many times in other countries, to supply what he needs to function on even a basic level.

Consider then the national corporations, where so many Americans are employed, each of them necessarily based in a single state.

Cut off the head, and suddenly you're left with a bunch of dead limbs — Walmart, Amazon, Applebees, Target, Tesla, Boeing, Chevrolet, etc. — companies that, in the event of a war, would immediately cease to function cross-country are oftentimes dependent on one another, and would immediately throw a hundred million out of work, if not more.

And I haven't mentioned agribusiness here, or Big Pharma, or all the thousands of companies that make computer chips and innumerable widgets that none of us knows about but we're extremely dependent upon.

This isn't even considering water sources and power grids, two things that have the potential to wreck life as we know it and send whole regions into anarchy and the Stone Age. Where are the power plants? The transmission lines? What are the sources of power — dams, or coal, or solar, or nuclear?

The USA can divide into separate nations without war. Only the statist normalcy idiots use fear of war to scare us into the continue state of boot licking the Fed.

The left is winning demographically so they are not interested in decentralizing power. The pathetic right (lame) wing is so scared of losing a penny they will cower and boot lick to the grave. It is a classic "Fix it after I am gone" attitude. Truth hurts.

...and try for once to be interesting instead of just winning a bunch of arguments. Life, after all, is passed on through things as embarrassing as sex — and never through lectures.

What a weird way to end a stupid article. Certainy valid points I agree with, but I don't thick this clown (who the hell is Jeremy Egerer?) is going to win many people over with his writing.

RE: Kinda like the EU, except the US has a standing army.

Actually, we’re different from the EU.

We still speak the same language, still pledge allegiance to the same flag, still sing the same national anthem.

That is... IF WE CAN KEEP IT.
