Found this in the comment section of an article:
For those of you who don’t know me, I have extensive history and connections in leftist activism from previous movements, but I’m essentially a pariah now because I split with them when the the SJWs seized power from the older relatively moderate activists and went full authoritarianism. None the less.. I’m still in all those social circles and I see the discussions going on behind the scenes.
After a long progression, and seeing how things have settled out after the Trump election: We’re headed for rebellion and possibly a full blown civil war. I’ve always been skeptical of that largely because neither side would be willing to fire the first shot. That is no longer the case. There is universal calls for, planning of, and efforts to conduct warfare within the left right now. And I don’t mean that in the metaphorical sense. They are raising their army.
What’s always held the left back in the past is that they knew they could never win in a violent conflict. Both because of a lack of skill, experience, and equipment, but also because of internal disagreement on tactics; being that most within the left would not engage in violence because they believed the greatest strategy was to hold the moral high ground and ruin support and assistance to their opponents. This is no longer the case.
Within the left the pacifists have been solidly silenced by a massive propaganda effort and intimidation (expressing even remotely pacifist views within the left right now can put you in physical danger and in danger of losing things like employment and other social and economic needs). Even people who were extremely vocal and dedicated absolute pacifists, are now reduced to at the very least openly providing passive support for political violence. At this point ‘punching NAZIs’ is all the rage. They’ve managed to dehumanize their political opponents so that’s no longer considered wrong to physically harm them. They’re all looking for a NAZI to punch. And right now anyone who does it perfectly mirror their political views, is a NAZI. And it’s already primed to move into ‘killing NAZIs.’’
And of course the biggest limiting factor is that they have known that they do not stand a chance against a well armed and sufficiently skilled political rights and moderates. After countless efforts to disarm the right in order to reduce it to an inferior fighting force, the AnComs and such have moved to arming themselves. It is no longer a social taboo. Everyone accepts it as a necessary evil. But beyond the arms, the turning point on this front is that they now universally believe themselves to have such a massive majority of the population backing them that they have a significant military advantage. This due to propoganda efforts (the same ones that told them Hillary was going to win in a landslide) and because of a massive mobilization network. They believe they can mass so many people at one location so quickly that they can overwhelm defenders and seize their resources, disperse, and then strike again repeatedly until the right has been defeated.
Here’s an example of what I’m seeing being said within activist circles:
Quote:
History may occur in patterns but it’s hardly predictable, least of all to the participants on the ground. In late October, no one really expected Trump would win. And tonight we are witnessing another unpredictable scenario—less than a week after the largest protests in US history, thousands of people across the country are shutting down airports to help their Muslim brothers and sisters. Make no mistake, what we’re seeing is unlike anything our country has seen in decades. It’s like Occupy and Black Lives Matter, immigration, and the nuclear protests all wrapped into one giant orange **** storm. I’m putting my chips on the table: Trump will be the first President brought down by a popular revolution...and it’s going to happen in months not years. Obama’s presidency bought mileage for the empire by assuaging liberals, but Trump is stepping on the gas with empty fumes. We are going to get our second revolution, and it will be spectacular.
This is not what I was expecting to see after a Trump election. I figured people would just get moody and ****y and whine and gripe, but eventually moderate themselves and return to the old left. I was expecting 4 more years of the left from the Bush years. Instead they’ve doubled down on everything and gotten far more extreme in their desire to forcefully impose their will on others and their belief that they have the power to successfully do so. These people are in a frenzy and they’re now completing with each other as to who’s the most militant and violent. That spiral will eventually escalate to a point of open conflict. I’ve never been so worried about a civil war as I am right now. And with my pariah status I’m concerned I worry I may very well become a target. It’s enough that I’m out of the political debate for safety reasons, just like a couple years ago I had to pull out of street protesting for the same reason.
What I expect at this point is something that will play out on a very similar path as the 2014 Ukrainian revolution.

This is why I continue to buy a couple boxes of ammo every time I go out. I’m “lookin’ good” for their Civil War.
Yes, that is EXACTLY what they believe, and the administration has to move fast and hard to get out ahead of it.
The bad news is that many can be found who are willing to kill for socialism.
The good news is (as history amply demonstrates) that there are many fewer who are willing to die for it.
If these jerk off want to see a NAZI all they have to do is look in the mirror.
That said, they're under the delusion that folks on the right would fight them.. that is NOT the case. Hillary LOST. Trump won. Trump would have governors call up the national guard... and worse. These paid soros thugs are used to going up against un-armed citizens- they're in for a world of hurt .
This mind that wrote this lives in an extreme niche in a cavern in a corner of the cave, and the echo chamber is amplifying feedback driven by a turbo Marshall stack.
That is not to say they are not lying themselves into going against every single tenet they claim to hold (but never really did) ... only to say that this is reverse snowflake-ism. It's a snowflake dreaming that it is fire.
I get that the author claims to be moderate lefty and to have split with the punch-the-nazi lefty-ism (there is no such thing as moderate lefty-ism ... except in amplitude of action ... the thought pattern and mental output is all equally delusional.) But he DOES come from that echo chamber. The mere fact that he judges them to be overboard doesn't make him any less looooony moooooon bat, and therefore, don't conflate the fact that he negatively judges his more action oriented fellow thugs as a sign of judgment itself.
This is an emotional prediction which, while it may be born of seeds of actual sentiment and even conspiracy, will not come to pass. If the attempted revolution were to arrive, it would last about a quarter second, as would a short fart, and the only change in government would be fuller jails and many wounded and dead lefties.
The leftists who want an actual civil war are a very tiny percentage of the population.
The individual who wrote this is vastly delusional.

Let them try it. Have you ever seen leftist protestors when someone has the nerve to fight back? After the first one takes a punch to the face all the rest turn and run away.
They are only brave until it becomes a reality to them that they can be hurt, then they wet themselves.
