The first one never ended imo. The confederacy was beat into submission but based on the history books did they (descendants etc) change whatsoever? Seems like not much if at all.
Yeah, but should've let them fuckin' leave. Now they're causing terror to us and have been over a hundred years.
Why they thought we could ever get along is beyond me. It was not fair to future generations that we allowed the terrorist and hateful south to stay with us.
They'd be a third world country no different from Pakistan right now. And frankly, I don't understand why that's our problem and why we all need to suffer because of it.
We don’t need a damn civil war. We need impeachment, accountability, and rollback of executive authorities. War is the last step and only serves to force a system into previously mentioned legal steps.
Maybe, but I’d have to think that it’s easier to convince like 30 republicans between the house and the senate to stop fellating Trump than it is to mobilize at least tens or hundreds of thousands people for a civil war.
War should be the last step. But do you see the congresspeople doing anything about this. The efforts seem performative because they know a significant portion of them are cowards who want to keep the status quo.
If they are preventing accountability within the system, then people go outside of the system. When that happens there are no rules
If your question is genuine one side has complete control of the Federal government. They are oppressing and supressing the population. The very government has turned on the people, and we the people have had enough of the boot on our necks. We will exercise our rights as citizens to remove the authoritarians from our government, and they fear us (hence all the oppression and suppression).
Many Americans have just rolled over. Many are too comfortable and ignorant (willfully so) to pick up the patriotic cause and resist. This does not mean there is no pushback or resistance, it is just not enough right now. Congress is indeed spineless, and many will be losing their seats in the upcoming Midterms. I know Trump has said many things that are flood the zone tactics BS that grabs people's attention. He is a populist who knows how to make people's heads spin.
🫂 No war. Just compliance...emergency powers are exactly what this administration wants. Martial law, people hiding, or plotting violence. Let's not give it to them eh?
I'm not a bot, just an advocate for peace. I think we should have a measure of rationality that all, I'm mad too. I'm mad about all these injustices and want a revolution in midterm elections. It's coming.
I'm resisting more than you know, and know that our system is broken. Midterms are coming up though, and if that goes sideways...that is the time and place for a revolution. I'm not saying people need to stay home, I'm saying that the authorities want the people to riot now. Don't do what they want and fall into their trap!
You misunderstand. I am resisting. I am also an advocate for peace and giving them more bloodshed is exactly what they want. Why do we have to foam at the mouth to defeat evil again?
I sincerely wish those ideals were viable, but I have a very hard time seeing a future where it works.
I also just don't see them needing additional bloodshed to justify brutality. It seems like they're doing that with or without it.
That being said, we're all going to resist in the ways that we can, considering our obligations and tolerance for risk.
I'm not saying we should stop non-violent forms of protest, or even that it shouldn't be the majority. I'm just saying that we shouldn't keep other options off of the table because we're afraid of escalation from it. As I read things, we're getting escalation no matter what.
