Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --
-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--
-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

Oh come on do people seriously believe boater kulaks are going to step foot outside of their lifted f-150s to fight a bloody civil war? These types that vow violence for a trump loss can't stand summer without ac let alone living in the pocconos eating spam and field dressing gunshot wounds.
I don't expect this will be an actual war, more of a mass civil unrest. I certainly wouldn't dismiss the possibility of this happening as the material conditions in US continue to erode.
Mass civil unrest is an actual civil war, according to Marx and Lenin.
Fair, I mostly meant it's not going to be two armies fighting each other like the first civil war US had.
Maybe not Civil War 2, but I can imagine the current low-intensity "Years of Lead" situation turning into a high-intensity one.

Just because they won't personally fight doesn't mean they won't support the conscription of a bunch of young men to fight for them. It's not as if most confederate soldiers in the US civil war were slave owners.
