A civil war would be won by the US military. It doesn’t matter how good you think you and your homies are.

If things come to violence, the government will lose. It's a numbers game. My problem with it is that it's not going to go how people think it will go. People are not prepared for this stuff. They don't realize how ugly it will get. But, they use this as an excuse to downgrade the importance of simply voting against incumbents. Everyone is like 'your vote doesn't matter...bring on the revolution' but that is the opposite of how people should be thinking.
For the OP...'poking the bear' is not a useful strategy. It only makes things worse and if the worst should happen, it will turn you into a target.
Everyone should take this more seriously.

A lot of military guys know that Democrats are traitorous pedophiles.
It wouldn't go as you seem to think it would.

^^^^ The above people will always, always, favor government intervention into everyone's daily lives. They do not deserve the breath of freedom. They are too stupid to think critically of what is a lie and what is the possible truth. They seek comfort in emotional status.

Anyone who thinks the general population will support a civil war is
deluded. Most Americans are not
so unhappy or enraged that they would take up arms.

No matter how much you say it, that’s not the future. It’s just internet gripe fodder.

Why do you look forward to it? And how do define capable? Is person born and raised in the city with a mechanical engineering or medical background not gonna be useful after the fall? Half my family is country baws...some of them aint capable of doing shite but drinking beer and watching TV.

I never said, hinted, or alluded to anything related to that. God, you are a moron. Get some freakin help

The same reason some people have looked forward to the crash for centuries, to cleanse the earth of the incapable and the leaches.

Yea there is nothing going politically in this country that makes me think about shooting my neighbors that think differently than myself. But if a civil war of sorts was to erupt I dont think it would be like that anyway.

Hang tight.
Inflation is out of this world right now, and the great white collar bloodbath is coming.

In 1977, on what Salena Zito calls “the day that destroyed the working class,” Youngstown Sheet and Tube laid off 5,000 workers.
Within months U.S. Steel had shut down 16 plants and Jones & Laughlin laid off further thousands.
This went on for decades in industry after industry, with everything from textiles to semiconductor manufacturing closing or moving offshore.
White-collar types were notably unsympathetic, for the most part.
Berkeley professor and Clinton administration Labor Secretary Robert Reich declared the future belonged to the “symbolic analysts” — people who, in the words of a Steve Earle song, use their brains and not their hands.
Laid-off coal miners in the last decade were contemptuously told to “learn to code.”

AI will affect 60% of US jobs and worsen income inequality, IMF warns
It can pass bar exams, diagnose disease and process images and text. The improvement since ChatGPT-3.5 is significant.
People, on the other hand, are staying pretty much the same.
The bad news for the symbolic analysts is they’re playing on AI’s turf.
When you deal with ideas and data and symbols, you’re working with bits, and AI is pretty good at working with bits.
People losing their jobs to AI is just the tip of the iceberg.
In the next decade, lots more people — possibly (gulp) including professors like me — will be facing potential replacement by machines.

On my land in the country here, I have virtually unlimited water and food.
I also have a lot of time and I fish at the lake 4 days a week. But one of my hobbies around here is constructing SHTF stuff.
I have spent many hours on my tractor creating fighting positions that offer over and concealment. I have constructed obstacles that allow only one avenue of approach. I have OP/LP positions. I have "deer" stands placed that allow you to reach out and hit anything up to about 600m in any direction using high powered rifles and my Seekins AR 10.
Come get some if you're feeling froggy.
Adding that everyone within a mile or two only knows me as that "crazy Army guy" even though I'm retired from the military. Also, the trash people that empty my dumpster once a week said "I'd probably come get that after work and scrap it if I wouldn't get shot." I said, "yeah that's definitely a concern right there. Good thinking."

Everyone should know some basic survival skills anyways, it doesn’t make you a conspiracy theorist or a nut.
Nothing wrong with a man knowing how to navigate the wilderness, hunt, shoot, basic repair and maintenance, carpentry, and how to survive in the wilderness. It doesn’t take a societal collapse to need those skills. What about a natural disaster? Solar flare knocks the grid out? You’re in a plane and it goes down in middle of nowhere and you survive the crash? You’re on a boat in the ocean on a fishing trip and a storm sinks it and you swim to an island? You go nature hiking and get lost or injured and no cell service? Road trip across the country and car breaks down in the Rocky Mountains and no phone service and get caught in a blizzard?
The comfort of our homes and the supermarket down the street is not always guaranteed in life. As a man you should know how to survive and take care of your family in any emergency situation

Yeah, but what happens in a financial collapse? You think your neighbors will be your friends or what?
