$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('rangerone314', '
')Anyone hoping for a civil war is almost certainly a moron, because the likelihood is that it would solve nothing

The smart thing to do is to simply plan for surviving the collapse and having a plan for rebuilding after most of the people in North America are dead.


The idea that a civil war could be the end result of the madness in america is just delusional projectionism. The ones believing in it are wanting a quick upheaval, they probably plan on hiding from, and then a return to a new normal.

The trouble is civil wars require Two things. Two standing armies. America only has one. The idea that a million 'deplorables' will unite and coordinate an attack against the most militarized nation on earth is total fantasy.

All that needs be done to cripple a rebellion over there is shut down the gas stations and halt the trucks into the supermarkets. The government wouldn't turn off the cell phones though, that's how they get most of their intel lol.

So, still planning for the imminent "collapse", eh?

How many lifetimes must pass before that strategy isn't deemed optimal, every single year the insta-doomers forecast it, and aside from periodic recessions or inconveniences, BAU CONTINUES?

Define "imminent".

I consider the system unstable enough that a big Black Swan could cause a collapse within a 6 month time frame. I consider gradual decline leading to a collapse as pretty much a given, even without a Black Swan lending a hand between the 2030's and 2050's.

People won't form "standing armies" to face each other. Most likely you will see insurgency on a large scale. Clever insurgents might just cripple the East or West or Texas or all 3 power grids simply by shooting transformers with high-powered rifles.

Take enough of those out, and you don't have gas stations pumping gas. Kind of puts a halt to food distribution. Also, it would suck to need dialysis, insulin or other refrigerated drugs. Also, running water, once the water towers run out and can't refill. Cholera kind of sucks.

The US was unable to defeat the Taliban after 20 years. And the Taliban didn't try to track down family members of US generals, or take out the supply chains within the US.

Thats right, LOTS of supply chain vulnerability. Water supplies for example. Critical bridges and tunnels. Achilles heels.

To have a civil war you need two well funded and well armed factions. In America, like the rest of the western world, you have two political parties that on the same side, the side of profit, and they control the armies and the police forces. There will be no civil war, just descent into lawlessness as you already see. A Mexico in the waiting. A Columbia, a Venezuela.

And in Australia you have the entire country on its knees to the Monarch, as it requires balls and brains to break away from a Monarchy. Rules out Australia in a nanosecond. I mean seriously, the country that can't launch its own rocket....well...it launched....and then 14 seconds later the results from a subservient group of people that can't even build a decent airplane were not unexpected.

54 years of waiting and building...Australia's rocket crashes 14 seconds after liftoff

Someone correct me if I'm wrong, the Germans did their first ballistic rockets in the early 40's, and Americans and Russians were putting people into orbit by the early 60's....and the Monarchy that rules Australia put the first Brit into space (not an Aussie of course) on a RUSSIAN rocket in like the 90's? Yeah, delusions of grandeur indeed for a bunch of leftbehinds and never-wases to even get one more than 15 seconds off the ground. Better luck in the next 50 years Australia!

Oh yeah, and where did this rocket launch from? QUEENSLAND! You know, the same folks who are famous for....being smart? No. Being kind to the aborigines? No. STAMPING BANANAS TO MAKE THEM CURVED!

And the rest of the world is not surprised at the rocket result at all.

In any event, no civil war. People have food, most have shelter and basic liberties, to some extent. There's just not a source of energy for such an economy disrupting action.

I don't know why you dig on Australia which really has a population that is too small to be thought of for a source of things like rockets and cars; it just makes more sense for them to mine what they can, sell that, and buy cars... and seats on rockets when desired.

I never understood the US Civil War angle. I mean, what would that look like? Me and 2 of my neighbors arm up and go hunt down 3 other neighbors who I can tell are on the...other side...how?

IHow are MAGA folks going to know the difference between them and other white folk who didn't vote for the convicted felon? They might miss all the trans white folk that want to eradicate? Do they have tests, and if you answer wrong they shoot you? "So...you white person who might not be one of us....answer this question and live....where is it appropriate for old white men to grab women because...they just will let you?". Could it really be that simple for them?

Oh, I'm sure there are fine people in Australia, but the one we have here just represents the neoNazi, anti-woman, anti-poor, anti education contingent and for some reason spends all his time expressing his jealousy of America. Oh...and can't pick a single oil from a list of nearly 100 that is conventional. While pretending he knows what conventional oil is. Jealousy of what Americans have accomplished oozes from nearly everything this parrot writes. So I point out inconvenient facts about Australia.

The rocket is a good one. They went to test it a few months ago, tried to start the engines, and like, the nose cone popped off. I mean Jesus the level of incompetence there. And better yet, the launch was in the same sub-region that the parrot claims to come from.

A good vid of the stabbing of that ukrainian girl on the train, it shows what many don't, the moments after the actual attack. She's curled up bleeding and the other passengers, all Black, simply ignore her and go about their business. The Blacks as a race HATE whitey, when things turn south it's going to be Rwanda over there.

Removed the vid, seemed a bit ridiculous coming from citizens of a country that hasn't been able to fight their way out of a wet paper bag or their own Monarchy over more than a century. These kinds of observations from a land of pussys is mostly irrelevant, folks who would rather live on their knees rather than shake off the shackles of their bondage have no opinion worth listening to, other than marking it up as to what the cowards of the world think on the topic of violence, at any level.

It's been four days since the Deathocrats assassinated someone for expressing their views in a civilized and polite manner. Seen any cities burning? Riots? Looting? How about vandalizing Deathocrats yard signs, or shooting bullets through their houses? No? Neither did I.

The Death Cult cries about deporting Illegal Aliens without due process, yet had a former leader who directed and executed the murder of an American Citizen in Syria, with NO due process, or even an attempt to capture him. He got to watch the whole thing from the situation room. I'm surprised he didn't receive another Nobel for that one.

The Death Cult who advocate killing unborn babies because it's convenient for the mother. Yet they can't even figure out what a women is or who can even have babies.

The Deathocrats cheered when the assassination happened and again when it was announced Kirk had died from his wound. So Adam, were you one of them?????? Did you feel vindicated and elated when it happened? Are you deleting posts you made on social media, so you won't get outed?

There will not be a civil war, just Deathocrats disappearing from the scene. I say good riddance, you all truly disgust me.

Peace

I was disgusted to the point of unbelief when they murdered those firefighters who were just doing their jobs. Assassinated them at their hoses, what kind of people do such a thing? They and all their transsexual bedmates should be strung up with piano wire.

Doesn't appear to have been Deathocrats in the least. But interesting how fast you jump on that bandwagon, could it because when it is just another diseffected youth with guns doing what they do, Republithugs don't want to talk about the guns thing?

And why would this be the topic when there was yet another school shooting? Are talking head Mormons of more value in our society now than the children?

First, you would need to define "them", and second, I didn't know who Charlie was until it made the news and someone made the claim "it was a perfect shot!" and I started laughing my ass off about that idiots understanding of gun and ballistics in general.

The wife seemed interested in it, dunno why. She had never said anything about him ever before. I was surprised how easy it was to find unedited videos online of the act itself mostly.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('Careinke', '
')Did you feel vindicated and elated when it happened? Are you deleting posts you made on social media, so you won't get outed?

Why would I feel vindicated or elated over someone getting shot any more than the kids in Colorado? And I don't do social media, no Facebook, no Insta-whatever, Snaptalk or whatever. None. Got tired of reddit a couple years back. This place is about it, and you can't call peakoil.com social media.

Not sure what I would be outted over. Did Lucky hijack your account and start spewing Lucky points or were you a diehard Charlie follower or something?

The absolute best, and only comment I can make about Charlie, after having seen the video, learned who he was and what he stood for...was this.

"I don't support what happened to Charlie. Charlie supported what happened to Charlie."

Upon investigation, this apparently is based on Charlies words that random deaths and killings from most anyone being able to get guns is a-okay so that all Americans can have guns. Welcome to the world you wanted Charlie. RIP Charlie, and did you EVER think you would be one of the sacrificed for the greater gun owning good?

As you called me out specifically, I do need to ask, I have been quite clear about my attitudes about politics, having fled the traditional parties to vote for Ross Perot in 1992, and been that way ever since.

While the country seems to be polarized into two political parties, the Republicrats and Democans, I have posted on my general attitude to this polarization in the past.

Funny this talk about civil wars, I was out the other night at 1am, cycling on the e-bike, alone, unarmed lol. I wandered through town and then up the back roads for an hour, peaceful, quiet. We've had a few assaults here over the years, drunks in pubs, we call those punch-ups. Never a murder or rape though, not reported at least. I just can't imagine what it would be like living in a town where you're afraid to cycle or walk the streets at night? Where armed gangs roam, shooting people just for a few dollars, or for the fun of it.

Whatever happened back there in the founding of the nation sure set the stage for a couple of hundred years of mayhem didn't it. I suppose for the consumers there it would be no different to growing up in an African nation, where life is cheap. Never had the desire to visit one of those shitholes though, nor the north american shithole. Give the peaceful wide open spaces of the Lucky Country any day :)

Oh well, 9:30pm, might go see if the headlights are charged, off again tonight now the weather has warmed up.

Well, you live in a land where everyone is so gutless they can't fight their way out from under a King. Plus you are all pretty tired from all that time you spend on your knees I imagine.

But not having the cajones God gave a rabbit probably has more to do with it.

Americans have been fighting and offing native peoples and winnng wars and stuff because countries like you exist and can't do shit for yourselves when the wolf shows up at the door.
