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?
You can be assured the leftists are planning on it.
Total BS. The USA could split into 50 totally independent nations tomorrow. The “system” is designed that way.
I’m very much in favor of the “peaceful divorce.” That is the best option we can get.
War makes no sense if Democrats are about to be slaughtered in the next election.
It is a serious time to build up stable parallel infrastructure however.
Mass communication is useless in the initial stages of a non centralized guerilla warfare action.
We ARE Canada.
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.
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.
If we split up, can we put the statues back up?
This CWII talk is crazy. There’s not even a definable Mason-Dixon line if there was to be a CWII, so CWII would end up just being a prolonged guerilla war against an “occupying force.”
Often attributed to Albert Einstein, apparently he didn't say it. But it's a still a good quote.
Patriots have been losing the culture war for over 50 years. Continuing to try to win that way seems like insanity to me.
I'd like to see a peaceful divorce. I'd like to see secessions.
Actually the 2nd is about a well-regulated militia. Guns are only one of a variety of necessary equipment.
It is always about the people.
The Thinker doesn’t think. The thesis the author puts out is that it is better to live in tyranny than fight because fighting would be hard.
One of our founders said you’ll know when to use your guns when they come to take them. Sounds about right.
Also, it isn’t necessary to actually use them but the willingness to use them that will keep them in check.
“When the people fear the government you have tyranny, when the government fears the people you have liberty”
Right now the government doesn’t fear the people quite enough.
Another interesting saying is above the DOJ entrance, “Repression breeds tyranny”, the other entrance says, “When justice ends you have tyranny”
It’s easy to see we have no justice, thus tyranny. And we are being repressed, thus again tyranny.
I like this saying,
“A people unwilling to use extreme violent force to obtain or secure their liberty deserves the tyrants that rule them”
Notice the about doesn’t say to use violence but the “willingness to use violence” as thew key
A nation divided will not stand.............it will be all one or all the other.
There are advantages to being a united states. Our founding fathers set up a good system. Let’s keep it together and fight for the system they set up.
We've been hearing from commentators on the right that we will retake the house at the next elections. So what's the problem?
Well, I can think of a few. The biggest is our citizenry doesn't examine candidate character close enough, so we end up with uniparty RINO's instead of the conservatives we were promised.
Election integrity has taken a hit, but hopefully we are making some progress on rectifying that. Arizona set a good starting example on how to do a forensic audit. And they found a bunch of things that need to be corrected. Arizona and other states need to implement new legislation to close those holes.
Human nature and history seem to indicate that fat, entertained and comfortable people don’t have civil wars. We are the fattest, most passively entertained and comfortable people to ever exist. Our poor people are the most likely to be obese.
I think the advent of the 24 hour news cycle and our screen culture are a big factor into all this civil war talk, as well as the general populace having absolutely no concept of what privations a civil war of some type would bring.
Freegards
The 2nd Amendment is way overrated. Nobody has the nads to invoke it. We were attacked by a biological weapon, had our election stolen, and have Marxist apparatchiks at all levels of govt. The country is now imploding.
And an argument could easily be made that the immigration and naturalization act of 1965 was when the guns should’ve first been introduced.
I guess I should read the article, but let me ask this: WHEN is the time to use the aforementioned items in the way mentioned?
