is that a civil warI suppose you could envisage it at a very low level, armed skirmishes, street battles, small scale terrorism.
Do you think any of these "culture war" sensibilities are due to people's LARPy desires to actually engage in war? And could that actually extend to "kinetic war"? Even on the small scale mentioned above.
Yeah, I think what we'd see is essentially a protracted domestic terror campaign.an escalation of the current dynamic, of course
actual armies fighting each other, no
even that - while I'm certainly not ruling it out - people would have to actually do itYeah, I think what we'd see is essentially a protracted domestic terror campaign

Ah sure, so he would only do this if he assessed that he had a high chance of losing and going to jail.because if biden wins, trump can be indicted once he is no longer president. not sure Cohen has his timing right, though...can you pardon someone who has only been indicted? don't they have be convicted first?
now if you're talking about increased domestic terrorism in the Oklahoma City tradition, that sounds plausible
more Kyle Rittenhouses, but with foresight and coordination (and possible law enforcement collusion) i.e. death squads, sure
actual civil war, no
What do you think this pandemic means for the global geopolitical order?
Chaos takes the place of command. Objectively it no longer exists. Chaos reigns when the events that affect our existence are too complex, too fast, too intense to process emotionally and consciously. The virus, invisible and uncontrollable, has brought chaos to a certain level.
I can't predict at what points the collapse will have the most noticeable effects.
What seems very likely to me is a civil war process in the United States. According to an article published in the Dallas News a few days ago, there won't be a civil war, but a chaotic situation of permanent terror. American citizens continue to buy firearms even though there is already more than one weapon for every citizen, including children and grandparents. Trump has not been a passing madness. It is the expression of the white soul of a country born and thriving through genocide, deportation and mass slavery. The global effects of the collapse of the United States cannot be foreseen.
It seems too elaborate for him.Ah sure, so he would only do this if he assessed that he had a high chance and going to jail.
well yeah, that's why I mentioned law enforcement collusionGood point. Perhaps the commitment level could be minimized by strategic lookings-the-other-way on behalf of law enforcement, no?
I think so too... also I'm not sure he could pursue a strategy based on his losing.It seems too elaborate for him.
I'm not saying it's an impossible scenario. in the longer run with the effects of climate change on society domestically and globally, sure.it's very bleak what the guy is saying
