I’ve seen alot of calls for violence in America. Whether it be directed at the president or Federal officers, many people are advocating for an escalation in response to the current situation.
And believe me, I do understand. what I see happening in America is horrifying. But all I am imploring is to really think about what your asking for. Because you can’t put the genie in the bottle once you’ve left it out.
If you’re really gung-ho about it, go and ask a Veteran of Iraq or Afghanistan about it and see what they think. If anyone will know about it they will.
I am going to link a YouTube Playlist. Its the Associated Press Archives of the Bosnian-Serbian war. Because THAT is what will happen if wide scale violence breaks out. Except what will happen in America will be a hundred times worse.
The Bosnian war was pretty much broken up along ethnic lines. “Well it’s going to be Conservative VS. Liberal” you say. Except it won’t be. It will be anyone having a grudge against someone going after them.
ALOT of personal animosity will be taken out in the first few weeks I feel.
And I think the Seige of Sarajavo will be writ large in American cities across the country. Imagine having to dodge sniper fire on your way to get to your job at Wendy’s.
Because that’s the other thing no one is thinking about. You are still going to have to make a living while this is all going to be happening. And the cost of everything will skyrocket. Shipping will probably have to be escorted from place to place because people will be stealing or even blockading locations because they’re “damn dirty libs” or “Fascist Conservatives” Fresh produce will become a thing of the past.
Canada and Mexico will close their borders due to all the refugee’s trying to cross. so if you thinking of doing it, do it the moment everything pops off because otherwise you won’t get in.
Basically Civil war is going to the worst thing to happen in America in a long time. and the only good that comes out of it will be Americans will finally have first hand experience of real war torn violence. And maybe that will hopefully last for another two hundred years or so.
If America even survives the outcome that is.
Yeah, some people definitely are, especially on the internet.
Sure, people have a right to stand their ground. That right might not be recognized by the legal system, but some rights go beyond the ability of mortal men to give or take away.
That doesn’t change the fact that if they outnumber you, then you might (if you’re both skilled and lucky) take one out with you before the rest of them blast you.
If they’re going to blast you anyway then you have nothing to lose, but for most people it seems like the best possible outcome would be to avoid escalating as much as possible.
Ice is like the gestspo though
And do you know what it took to stop the Gestapo?
I’ll give you a hint, it was more than just a ragtag group of German rebels with guns refusing to comply.
There was people in germany who fought the gestapo, they didn’t wait to be saved by the allies thst wouldn’t helped them if Hitler didn’t declare war on them
How did that turn out for them?
If they didn’t resist the gestspo would have still kidnapping jews and send them to extermination camp .
They did that anyway. It took the allied forces closing in on two fronts to put a stop to it.
So your smart idea is to let the new gestspo kidnapp people, send them to torture camp like in salvador and wait for an external power to intervene?
No, my smart idea was to stop this all from happening on election day. Ever since that fell through, I’m all out of ideas.
Any “leftist” who boycotted the vote shares partial responsibility for the mess we’re in. Kamala Harris wasn’t perfect enough? Trump just gave Israel $3.3 billion for their military.
Anyone who would let a fascist take over because they couldn’t vote for a liberal is a leftist in name only. So stop blaming the people who are saying “a revolution is not going to make things better.”
