sure the gov may not being doing something with a poorly written law
but what about next week
i think people are to afraid of civil wars, the preventitive tactics of an authoritarian government does not prevent people within their society from wanting to disassociate with eachother, all it does is force people who dont want to cooperate to cooperate against their will
the edge is real
maybe over generations it can change minds, but not if their is a legitament reason for them not to want to associate with eachother
Do you guys agree
in some cases
that doesent discribe every policy of socialism but for the ones it does i agree
@Timcast Possible project? I saw this guy’s video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=px_V_oKyzU8&t=146s
And it occurred to me, that his “drive the length of the border” project might make for an interesting “in the field” piece of reporting work for you and Emily, and a good cross-channel collaboration. Since you’re politically agnostic, he might be willing to work with you, and between the two of you, the combined expertise and audience might make for a very popular and timely series on youtube.
Just a thought
Tim, I don wanna @ you this fucking early but you made a good point during the last podcast tbat if a war breaks out, geurilla fighters with simple rifles have kicked the army's ass before.
yuuup
i would though mention that china doesent have a good history with sea invasions
Sorry, in london. I forget what time it is on the other side these days...
I talked with a guy in a local bar who said he studies geopolitics and he says he has a good idea od how amerixa will fracture if this goes down
west coast states, heartland, texas, the colonies + some a little below them, and the far southeast
which thing goes down?
purely on broad-stroke cultural similarities
civil war 2: the quickening
ah
i think the civil war will be left vs the government
not really a fracturing of the union as much as an attempted revolution
the left is basicly in a state of growing "take away right power by any means nessicary"
while the right wants to defend the political reform its managed to spark
the america civil war was a VERY specific event differnt than many civil wars of the past
you wont have a fracture of the union until someone declares a new capital
Bees
also, just to be clear, I'm just a random schmo. I wasn't trying to promote something. It really was just a thought...
what
🅱
scroll up a bit. I saw a video by another dude, who has the idea of traveling the border and interviewing people on both sides. Seemed like something tim could team up on...
Next civil war will be three sides not two. Left extremists vs. Right extremists vs. government trying to maintain monopoly on force. It'll look like cartel violence with a weak inept government trying to prevent it.
i dont think so
right now the right is with the government
yeah the right and governement really arnt at odds
the feds protected actual neo nazis on numerous occasions
and right extremists dont have much solidarity
1a guarantee
the extreme right is fractured and small
so they might be a blip
but in 5-10 years if the left gets political power its bad news
