Everyone's asking the question, are we heading for civil war? And you can see why, the country's aggressively polarized, partly thanks to the descendants of the 19th century radicals, today's cultural Marxists who press hard to destroy the societal values of the West.
"We will make the West so corrupt it stinks," declaimed Munzenberg, and the long march through the institutions has done just that. Religion, family, once-given codes of right and wrong, ethics, have been eroded and attacked to the point at which we now think that a mother killing her child in the womb is somehow normal, or that a chemically altered man is a woman.
Past generations would have been appalled and were. They overthrew the 1919 Marxist rebellion in Hungary, not least because Catholics objected to Lukacs' radical sex-ed. Likewise Spain, which didn't want to be ruled by a murderous crew of god-hating Anarcho-Marxists.
Russia herself, epicenter of the revolution, finally had enough and kicked their red rulers out of power, now they're building 1000 and more churches a year. Action led to reaction, which brings us to now.
People are starting to wake up and say no; trans bathroom privileges, catering to 0.6% of the population at best, aren't the "greatest civil rights issue of our time," thank you, Biden.
And neither are hundreds of thousands of immigrants somehow helpful to the American working class. Abortion at the point of birth isn't healthcare, more like murdercare, and people get it.
This leads to fightback. On the one hand, revolutionary nihilists working to destroy a culture they despise and hate, and on the other, people who believe in the values and ethics of Western civilization. Like, mothers, don't kill your babies.
So conflict's inevitable and we're seeing it now, but civil war? A shooting war between right and left, between trads and revolutionaries?
The rhetoric's there, for sure, so are diametrically opposed ideologies and all the fervor therein. But actual fighting? Good question and who'd do it, Antifa v. Proud Boys? Hardly. A grass roots leftist ghetto rebellion? Try not to laugh. But what about this.
USGOV runs out of money because it's TRILLIONS of dollars in debt and then, lo and behold, it can't pay the Army. What happens then.
See 5th Century Rome.

Wow. Jonah Hex and the Haunted Tank. Talk about a rush of memories from some of my favorite reading as a young lad. Put an idea in my head early on--yes, the victors write the history, but they likely left out a few things.
ReplyDeleteIn case you haven't seen this, here is today's issue of "Day by Day" by Chris Muir--

His place is one of my daily stops on the web.
RHT, I like idea of a spectral cav genius JEB Stuart directing our armor!
DeleteNice link.
The old curse states "may you live in interesting times." Times are starting to look interesting.
ReplyDeleteI'd 2nd that, Jim. Of course it's all a larf 'til the money runs out.
DeleteI think we can see that peaceful transitions of power from one party to the other after elections are starting to fray. The last two and one half years have hardly been peaceful: the bad guys (liberals/progressives) don't accept the results of the 2016 election and have vowed to 'resist.'
ReplyDeleteWe'll see how this resistance persists, and if it deteriorates into violence.
Fredd, I don't think there's big support for some kind of insurrection. Sure, places like Baltimore might ignite again, but that's a different story.
DeleteThere might be a low level race war between blacks and the democrats newly imported voting block. Another story again.
But what happens when the welfare runs dry and the atms don't spit out any cash?
The Jonah Hex and Haunted Tank had the same effect on me.
ReplyDeleteI don't want a fight.
Won't avoid one either.
Right on, Ed.
DeleteIt's really hard to try to imagine a hot civil war. What do I aim at? The only solution is divorce based on irreconcilable differences. Problem is the communist left won't accept divorce, even if we gave them some nice real estate because they know they cannot exist without Our money. Killing may be necessary.
ReplyDeleteKid, you have a point. There's an argument for MULTIPLE walls. One around parts of California, for example.
DeleteI used to devour those comics growing up. And Sgt. Rock of Easy Company, etc.
ReplyDeleteThe South shall rise again.
Linda, YES.
DeleteAnd I hate... hate... hate my fellow members of the Tribe, e.g., Barbara Spectre, who have done this to America and Europe. Soros is a whole level of damned above her.

EXCELLENT piece, Nitzakhon, and I especially enjoyed the anathemas. Appropriate, to put it mildly.
DeleteAnd you're surely right, there'll be trouble before it's all said and done. Not least in Europe.
Good work -- I'll follow.
