Strategy means nothing if you aren't prepared for the fear of real bullets flying in your direction. Real combat is an emotional avalanche, and having to act, no matter how the emotions are affecting you. There's no time for being afraid when a split second is the difference between whether you die or the guy pointing a gun at you does.


What group would you classify school shooters?

Soldiers or Limp wrists?

I’m just saying people shouldn’t underestimate people when they have nothing to lose.


Limp wristed. They go to schools to shoot so they won’t get shot back. They are cowardly scum. That point is obviously missed on you

The feeling of oppression in the first world is a state of mind. Once you stop watching mass media, get off social media, and just go outside, live life, talk to your neighbors, that feeling is miles away.

It also helps to know about history, and what real oppression is. Not agreeing with your elected officials, being worked up about bills that won't be signed into law, and other things aren't real oppression. Taxation is theft, but it is not oppression.

We are not being hauled off by the score to secret prisons, to be interrogated and hanged in a cellar and buried in an unmarked grave. We don't have to fear the secret police, the NKVD. we have no stazi. No one's breaking into our houses and chopping off our hands or killing our families because of our religions.

Yes, it happens. Most countries have suffered through it.

What I'm saying, is that wishing for it, or wanting it to happen,

Is completely different, and should not be looked at as a sane approach to things. The only people who wish for war are those who have never seen real violence, or have been indoctrinated to only know how to exist within it. The only people who wish for civil war... well. They're probably the worst type of breed.

A lot of people think they could shoot to defend themselves but can’t.

Even the police didn’t want to go in due to school shooters.

cant see a civil war in any modern state thats not akin to the UKs NI troubles or not revolve round IEDs.. we've seen just how badly modern govs and military's fare against those tactics..

the issues with dividing societies is that is creates separate strands that turn into sectarianism which is were the entire west has ended up and to a point media/govs waging war against their own peoples is daft.

In hindsight we'll possibly come to the conclusion that is the legacy media driving the division for their own survival in a changing world rather than a nefarious plan to stoke conflict, our weak political leadership just lets it happen fo its own ends.

and many are going through a few days training and going to the front lines.. the west is relearning the skills to create volunteer armies in ways we've not since the 1940s.. at the moment it Ukrainians but it could be any country needing a volunteer army..

its been one of my solid reasons we'd not have a full scale civil conflict or outright war.. the west simply can't train/arm the numbers required to fight either.. now it can so thats a big worry.. part of the training revolves around the psychology of killing and how hard humans find killing other humans, its why we end up with small pro armies and not large conscript ones.

which is why the US is less recreating its civil conflict and more recreating the revolutionary one.. in the same way our world is more pre great war than pre ww2..its more first great depression than 2nd great depression (1930s)

the establishment want us to think the world is heading down one path when its heading down another..

We have a two tiered justice system. Just like all those scenarios you mentioned. The President labeled half the country the biggest threat to the country. Kill a Republican teenager, you’ll be back to work on Monday. Go tell Cayler Ellingson her oppression is a state of mind. Look at what they did to Trump. If it can happen to a president, it will happen to you.
When Texas has to pay for millions of illegals but Martha’s Vinyard can’t hold 50 you are oppressed.
You can argue that we are spoiled and don’t know how good we got it. But it doesn’t matter to people like me. It just sounds like garbage an oppressor would say to keep from fighting. Except the oppressed would rather fight than talk about why they should suck it up

War is coming. It doesn’t matter how many stars you get or how many pretty words you use. It ain’t me you have to convince.

The only reason we'd have a civil war is because people keep pushing for it rather than going to the table. The loudest bunch on each side makes it seem like our differences are so extreme. There is a moderate bunch, the largest group, who thinks both sides are out of line. Moderate Democrats think cancel culture and extreme acceptance is out of hand. Moderate Republicans do not think Trump is a savior.

Stop promoting civil war and promote discourse and civility. Stop pointing fingers and realize both extreme sides are wrong. Our differences are not enough for a civil war.

No American side wins with a Civil War. Be careful what you wish for.

You make a mistake if you think the nerds and geeks are only all on one side or the other. It's like you think soldier = stupid or something. Stereotype much?

Not to mention some of those combat simulations from video games are pretty stupid if you think about it.

You're really comparing mentally ill cowards who look for soft targets that can't shoot back because of "Gun Free Zones" to real combat? What happens to those same people when someone shoots back?

The globalists will win. The whole point of the civil war they are causing is to thin the herd and take out anyone who is a threat or undesirable on both sides, then they can swoop in as saviours and bring their new twisted brand of "peace".

That's my worry.

If it were just the US fighting it out. The left would likely lose, but the left is larger than the US. We'd end up fighting a large chunk of the world, not just American leftists.

100%

Totally agree. The flight or flight mechanism is real. People won't know until they have to use it.
Look at all the shooting, how many people, even cc are shooting back? Some but not a lot. More people flee.

Soldiers/militias have survival instinct and weaponry knowledge, but… some of them aren’t too smart.


As retired military, a geek/gamer and highly educated I am guessing you didnt mean it but that statement is pretty fricking insulting.

Many of us have degrees, are also gamers and have been trained to do multiple jobs in the military, even if you look at combat mos's you will find some that require a high degree of intelligence required to be effective at their job.

Mobs do good when they can dictate the where and the when and how ready the opponent is for the fight, not when the trained people dictate the where and the when.

Exactly and stop watching cnn, fox news, OAN, msnbc ect.. which all push division and give the extremists a voice and credibility.
