We have already descended into violence. Violence is already being committed against us. THEY CAME FOR OUR FUCKING DUE PROCESS. That is the underpinning of the social contract between the populace and the government. That was the load bearing wall. We are already in civil war, just some people are too stupid and ignorant to see it, and are happy to let others die for their comfort.
That is them saying they don't give a shit about the rules, and are more than happy to make you suffer without cause or reason beyond "I say so". But hey, guess there's no need to lose their heads over it, when ours will roll just fine.
So when are you ready to go to a concentration camp? When are you ready to lose your family for your ideals? Because that shit's already happening, just not to you....yet.
So forgive me if I find what you said both stupid and naive in the face of the evidence in the world RIGHT NOW. Wake the fuck up already and be fucking angry, because you should be.
Real civil war is a lot worse than what is happening in the USA right now. The USA is a functioning country and a population that can work together despite recent problems. It isn't a lost cause and these things can be repaired, though it won't be a quick fix
The USA is not a functioning country. We haven't properly functioned for decades at this point, we are a failing democracy. And I never assumed there was a quick fix. Even if a civil war went our way, it wouldn't be a quick fix, it would just give us an opportunity at better foundations and refactoring our government.
And we are in a "real" civil war, it's just not open street fighting yet in most parts of the country, mainly because we're so spread out, and many of the population are afraid to lose their comfort while people are taken to Concentration Camps. I wonder if the civil war feels real to them? What do you think? Do you think it feels real to those already taken? To those already harmed? Is it real for them?
Be as unhappy as you want about the current state of affairs, but mislabelling it isn't going to help you solve the problem.
Go and look at what's happening in Sudan and Yemen now, or read about what happened in Northern Ireland, Angola, Mozambique, Angola, Syria and so many others and see the vast difference of what they endured vs how the US is now.
I'm not mislabeling. I get that it isn't as openly bad as other places, but that doesn't change that this is indeed a civil war.
But regardless it seems like its the excuse you need to not confront reality. Hope you find the guts to do so someday.
Only if you find the guts to educate yourself about it correctly first
What do I need to be educated on? That I should take your view that a civil war is only a civil war once widespread open fighting happens? That it has no beginnings, it just springs up out of nowhere?
Bet you think Nazi's started with exterminating Jewish folks first too? That they didn't build up to it? Maybe, when making that comment you should hold up a mirror.
Either way its obvious you lack guts, empathy and education. Be better.
You need to be educated on what civil war is, because you keep using the term and yet the features that define a civil war the US does not have, and not once have you defended your claim.
Inventing fake statements and assumptions about my character only reinforces that you don't know what you are talking about, and all you are is angry and manipulative.
Alright, before we go into what I think a civil war is. Maybe its better to have you clarify what you think it is.
What is the definition of a civil war in your mind? No examples, only definition.
Edit: lol, yeah, I figured you'd run off once you had to actually define your stance.
