Looking for Trolls?That reminds me... it's about time to check the the bridge again.
what would a civil conflict look like
- Thread starter GURPS
- Start date
No. "Equipment inspection."
When did you folks start quoting Dan Bongino? What did I miss? He was totally discredited years ago, said he was leaving Twitter, had a complete meltdown, where are you hearing him now? Isn’t there anyone else?
He’s an idiot, have you seriously listened to him? Not even your bots post his stuff.
His very successful and widely viewed podcast for one...
We understand why he scares you little snowflakes so much.
The Coming Storm
I think most have experienced similar lapses of faith in recent years. Unprecedented and despotic pandemic mandates; BLM rioting and George Floyd; the Democrat victory—or coup d'état—over the GOP and Trump; the Jan 6th Capitol Riot; the fall of Afghanistan; Roe v. Wade. More broadly: political suppression; ethnic tensions; vaccine-induced health failures; woke morality. The gangrenous sacs embedded in the skin of American (and by extension Western) society multiply by the day.
To consider Western liberal democracy as analogous to a camel, it is clear now more than ever that its back will soon buckle. Like the quantitative easing and fiscal stimulus packages which now blight our economies, seventy-five years of iniquitous straws precariously encumber the camel’s back. The end of our period of civilisational decadence seems soon to follow; the hand by which the final straw will be dealt never clearer.
Fulton J. Sheen spoke over half a century ago of a novel type of violence committed against the American people by an insidious class: that of the “new elite.” He lamented the passing of its predecessor, the “virtuous elites” of old whose “core of heroes and saints very much influenced any culture and democracy.” He rightly characterised the new elites and their doctrine of “elitism” as the “dominant minority that makes a lot of noise and that uses violence to force its will upon others.” They were revolutionaires “without programme or flag,” only knowing “what they are against, not what they’re for.”
That could change overnight....
When did I give up on him? Admittedly, I can find him tedious at times - he's often bringing up stuff portending to be momentous, but it never amounts to anything. Which frankly I find depressing - it's like when you hear that YES, Hillary was guilty of crimes but "no prosecutor would touch it" - so it amounts to - nothing. She gets away with it in front of God and everyone. So when Dan talks, part of me wants to shrug my shoulders and wish I wasn't reminded of the stone cold hard fact that the powerful can get away with anything.
Have to admit, this is my unquestionable reaction to "civil war". The most visible violent group on the left is Antifa and they always show up in hoods and masks and only engage when they're attacking defenseless people.

View from my civil war stand, good 300 feet from one lane road and on mountainside. I'll try and make them fall into the river, it will wash shiit away.

From what I hear, MD is still sitting on a huge chunk of the money the Fed has doled out since Covid.
