Second Civil War?

Civil War of ideas absent full out warfare

Second Cold War with Red China

Continue going to work and church. Raise my children right. Conceal carry.

Do y'all think that we're headed for or are already in another civil war?

We're in one. It's a societal war rather than an armament against each other but this is very much a domestic war being fought over cultural lines.

I feel the same. I work, have kids, try to love my love as best I can but I’m starting to feel cornered like never before. All this stuff going on has me thinking about my kids future and what life they will have. Tired of these crazies running the show.

Nah. Maybe a cultural, cold war type of dynamic, but certainly not a guns and boots civil war part 2.

It’s a war of ideologies, so what we need is a surge of speakers. But that’s tough to do right now, with a very real threat to your career if you’re not towing the woke line in lock step. Best bet might by constantly highlighting the fundamental inconsistencies that exist in these critical field theories and letting those woke sub fields go to war with each other over attention until they eat their own movement from the inside.

Dude. You have 86 posts and joined a month ago.

No one has any rational reason to trust you. That's not paranoia. I mean, no one on this board should be "trusted". But damned sure not Mr. Johnny come lately.

Man, a second civil war would be difficult. Everybody has friends or loved ones on the other side of the political spectrum from ourselves. You really going to shoot your childhood friend or your co-worker for believing something you don't? (Of course, if he tries to burn down your house, then fire away...but I'd have to think such a person would opt not to burn down your house for the same reason you'd opt not to shoot him.) With the Civil War, there were geographical divisions. Today, people are inter-dispersed. Thus, I don't think such would ever happen. How the hell would the "teams" be decided?

You are unfamiliar with the Bosnian civil war, I see...

Do you know the definition of Prejudice? Literally, it means to pre-judge a situation based on prior knowledge and experiences.

People are getting doxxed and their lives ruined for simple remarks online, some as simple as "back the blue" or "stand for the flag" stuff.

You better be very careful expressing personal opinions, even watch what you are wearing. I've seen a few Americana-type shirts that say "STAND" on them, right now that would get you labeled as a racist Nazi.

So yeah, we're definitely in a cultural war in this country, and while it seems like the sides are defined, it's not real clear who's all on one side or the other. Asking "what are you going to do" is probably not the best approach.
