It wouldn’t be a CW.
The left doesn’t have the balls to fight.
My dad shot at his government killing several ( Hungary ‘57 ) to be free and says socialists are cowards.
Of course they are, which is why they're subverting our own institutions to disarm, then kill us. I think most conservatives have felt this in their bones for a very long time.
My hat's off to your dad. That's a real patriot.
I think there are two things that inspire people to fight. The first is the fear that something will be taken away from them that they value. The second is that they will obtain something they want (the spoils of war). I think there are plenty of people out there today who seem “weak” who would find a lot of energy if they thought they were going to be able to take some of that stuff from the “rich” people they feel have oppressed them all their lives. There’s a lot of anger out there.....I don’t think we should discount how that might play out.
There were Hungarian families who lived in our neighborhood in ‘57. I can remember the uprising ( barely). First, they were all very happy, then sad when the uprising was put down. I played chess often with Dr. Josa. Never beat him, though. They were wonderful, warm people and great Americans!
The socialists here are smart. They have used Orwell’s 1984 as a blueprint.
They are masters at balkanization and divide and conquer, using the alinsky methods, the dialectic and the delphi technique.
They blame everyone else for their own unexpected and deliberately-created problems. Their own people, they point away from themselves, and towards people and groups they want targeted.
This is how it will play out. They will get their malleable splinter groups fired up into frenzies and let them riot and point them towards those they want taken out.
Alas, that is what the Confederates thought.
It is hard to get into another’s head. You always judge them by what you would do, and can’t get around that.
No conflict should be started with the expectation that another would give up. Conflicts should only start for the most serious, most necessary reasons.
British taxation was not sufficient the revolution. British occupation and starvation of Boston was.
In 1860 Federal control of territories should not have been enough for state rebellions. As it turned out, that wasn’t enough of a reason to justify a winning coalition.
