    What do they even want a war over? Some perceived slight from the left they’ve been told democrats do? Like, they want a war against an imaginary enemy.

      What do they even want a war over?

      To enforce the social heirarchy that they feel was stolen from them; typical reactionary demands.

      There’s a bunch of minorities getting “uppity” that these dipshits want to put in their place.

      They literally believe the election was stolen, and we are in the shadow world now.

      The answer is fifty years old.

      Back in the day, sociologist Alvin Toffler wrote a series of books about the coming shift from The Industrial Age to the Digital Era.

      “Future Shock” said that a lot of people would feel displaced by the new technologies and social changes. As the world moved forward they were going to try harder and harder to cling to the past.

        Until they get it and find out they’re still someone’s bitch. Only now there’s less they can do about it.

    American conservatives flock to civil war like it’s an ice cream social. So out of touch.

    Sort of like my half century old social reference.

      They seem to have a lust for killing their fellow Americans.

      I don’t want civil war; I want to remove dangerous people from their positions of power to reduce the harm they are inflicting on all of us.

      They somehow think the only obstacle between them and victory are citizens. If they organized a violent revolution and began killing innocent people around the nation, you can bet that Biden would declare a National Emergency. No amount or personally owned firearms are taking out militarized forces. It’s delusional nonsense from the woefully uneducated.

      Also, those aren’t conservatives, they’re MAGA Republicans. They’re the pawns in the game. Conservatives want us to continue blaming one another while they siphon the remaining money and resources from our nation.

    Oh so how many people have American right-wing terrorists killed in the past couple of decades now?

    And what was that vs lefty ones? So it’s still just that one guy who killed a far-right terrorist?

    I mean this place is just a step behind. Literally every day calls for violence pop up on here and get voted to the front page.

      The difference is that those people are armchair generals. Ask them when they’re going to start the glorious revolution and they get all het up and start making excuses.

          No, that’s stuff said in private. This is things said in public to make yourself sound like you’re going to be right there next to Che with your machine gun when the fact is you’re just as petrified into doing nothing as the rest of us.

      Tell them Canada and Mexico will close their borders if it happens. See if they still think war is a good idea when it’s in their neighborhood and there’s no escape.
