Thoughts On Civil War

A prevailing assumption in all of outsider politics, both Left and Right, is that America is headed for a civil war. The details are not all that clear, but that is the assumption. Even the mainstream political types think it is possible. A regular part of Tucker Carlson’s act is to warn his fellow political elites that they better shape up or the else. From time to time polls are done that show Americans are increasingly sure that a civil war is the most probable outcome for the turmoil and conflict of the current year.

At first blush, it is not a silly assumption. After all, empires tend to end in violence, either they are conquered or break apart. Even if you think America is some sort of exception when it comes to being an empire, every society is racked with conflict. It has been over 150 years since the United States has had serious internal distension. The closest to a revolt was the Civil Rights Movement, but the blacks were easily bought off after some protests and riots. America seems due for a violent adjustment.

Further, the far Left assumes they will win such a conflict. How is never explained, as most are noodle armed sissies, but they probably think they will have the full support of the police, like they see at their protests. Maybe the cops will side with the far Left in an armed conflict. If it means keeping their pensions and benefit packages, that’s probably a safe bet. On the other hand, history says police forces tend to scatter quickly when order falters to the point where there is fighting in the streets.

Many on the far Right make the same assumption as the Left, with regards to the outcome, owing to the fact that most of the guns are owned by whites. Those noodle armed Antifa sissies and their mouthy women would not last long in a fair fight, much less an armed fight. That’s certainly true, but if they did have the cops fighting for them that would be different. Then there is the fact that the same people controlling Antifa also run the military, so the gun disparity would change quickly.

The main trouble with the civic war bogeyman is no one bothers to imagine how it would be conjured in the first place. Civil wars are fights between two or more factions, led by members of the elite. The American Civil War was a fight between New England elites and Southern elites. Modern elites, not just in America, but across the West are in lockstep on every important topic. It is inconceivable that they would take up arms against one another. If anything, they will take up arms against the people.

That leaves open the other option for a social war. An armed rebellion of some sort, maybe due to divisions within society that the elites can no longer contain. The Antifa media, for example, harasses the wrong people and the result is organized white terrorism against Progressive targets. Alternatively, the media agitation results in some left-wing street protesters moving from theater to violence. The media did convince that guy to shoot up the Republican softball game a few years back.

The trouble with the rebellion scenario is that a decent rebellion has to be led by people capable of organizing a lot of people. The structure of the Left precludes a rebellion from that side of politics. They control the institutions and the rank and file lack the will and brainpower to go it alone. The Left is not going to revolt against itself, so they will continue to ratchet up their terrorism against everyone else. Red flag laws, for example, will be used to jail dissidents in the near future.

Outside of left-wing circles, organizing a rebellion seems less likely. Blacks like to riot and they have some reason to rebel against the prevailing order. History says they will just burn down their own neighborhoods and loots some local stores. Hispanics seem to be the most passive group in America. As long as they have cheap food and cheap entertainment, they are not rebelling. The squalor of America beats the squalor of back home, so getting them angry enough to rebel seems implausible.

If there is to be a rebellion, it will be among whites, but whites are far from being a monolithic group like blacks. There are regional divides, as well as class divides, which are easily exploited by the people in charge. Ruling class whites, for example, hate all lower class whites. That’s part of what motivated the FBI to spy on the Trump people in the last election. It’s why the IRS harassed white people in the 2012 election. Ruling class whites have a deep loathing for the rest of white America.

At the other end, the working classes have had plenty of reasons to revolt since the 1970’s, when the usual suspects began auctioning off the manufacturing base. In coal country, for example, where you will find the most rebellious whites in America, an all-out war on their way of life has not resulted in much resistance. The semi-urban white working class has continued to support a system that shows every sign of trying to snuff out the white working class. There’s no rebellion in that group.

That leaves the white suburban middle-class, who are certainly the angriest cohort in the country, but they are the most docile too. Perhaps if they fear a real threat to their economic position, they will become less docile, but middle-class revolution remains an oxymoron at this stage. For now, they will remain committed to the system, taking out their anger on politicians at the ballot box. Even though voting has had no impact on the trajectory of American society, it seems to be enough for this class.

Even if you can conjure a scenario in which a group revolts or the ruling class splits, resulting in a civil war of some type, it’s hard to imagine it being violent. For starters, rebelling against the local police department, much less the military is laughably implausible, given the disparity in firepower. Even small town cops these days have been militarized. They have assault units, armored vehicles, drones and electronic surveillance equipment. America is literally a police state now.

Rebellion would have to be guerrilla war, turning the weight of the surveillance state against itself. Instead of blowing stuff up, the rebellion of the future will be placing racist material in strategic locations, forcing the police to spend hundreds of man hours looking for invisible Nazis. More sophisticated tactics will require infiltration of ruling class assets, so rebels can easily and surreptitiously throw sand in the gears of the custodial state. The war will be fought in cubicles, not the streets.

Now, this may seem depressing at first blush, but civil wars and rebellion never encompass the whole of the society. The American Revolution directly involved about five percent of the population. The American Left radicalized the country with less than 20% support among whites. For those hoping to see the next American civil war, it will not take much of a change in the above dynamics to get the conditions for it. A serious economic catastrophe or a major foreign policy setback could be enough.

There’s also the fact that the nature of rebellion changes with the times. The rebels of the agrarian age faced men with bayonets and muskets. Men with muskets and rifles hiding in the woods could do real damage to their rulers. In the industrial age, general strikes and urban riots were enough to counter state power. In the information age, the rebellion will be about sapping the strength of the rulers, with regards to their ability to control data. Unplugging a data center will be the new terrorism.

When you start to puzzle through it, the probability of an old fashioned civil war is close to zero, while armed rebellion is in the single digits. Things will have to change a lot for the conditions to be right. On the other hand, a new type of rebellion, one suited for the age and the sorts of people unhappy with the system, is increasingly likely. Middle-class mom giving company passwords to rebel hackers is a likely scenario. The revolution of the future will be low-grade and mostly non-violent.

What are the chances of Civil War once Texas, Georgia and Florida turn blue, and the Dems win national elections for good and are able to enact their policies without opposition? I don’t know what the odds will be then, but significantly higher than Z’s odds, I’d say. The US will be much more multiracial and whites will be feeling the minority status, along with the tax burden much more then, along with a feeling of desperation as anti-white and lunacy levels among those in charge will have reached maximum levels by then.

You’re not wrong. The indolent white Right is comprised of atomized ignoramuses and rabbits. Nary a wolf/tiger among them. The few that do exist will be hunted down, should they raise their heads. 55+ years of political failure in North America and Europe can’t be explained away by Jews, middle-class greed, and working-class stupidity. There is a genetic factor involved. My guess is we are nearing the end of a 10,000 year stretch of selection for hyper-individualism and rabbitry by climate, civilization, technology, and war.

That’s difference. California and Texas became majority non-white without whites doing anything, but the whites in those state were generally left alone and not demonized. Indeed, whites still run those states, just like Mexico and South America.

But the Dems on a national level are moving in a very different direction. They are pushing out whites and demonizing us, with explicitly anti-white policies as payback. Will whites accept that, especially as the economy and general public order decline?

In my discussions with teachers who were frustrated by the education system, they often said “Wait until these students get into the real world of work; they will wake up to reality.” I told them that that reality will change and be more like the socialistic education system that trained the students, which is non-competitive, entitled, uneducated, ignorant, and trusting both big government and the New Clerisy (see Joel Kotkin this week).

Whites have proven distressingly resilient under pseudo-moral pressure and sadly we tend to wig out individually, explosively and chaotically – the worst way possible and the one which serves our enemies best.

The KKK was a zombie organization motivated by CI’s and actual Feds for the entire “Civil Rights” era. Before WWII it had enormous popular support though, even in some Northern states like Indiana. I’d put its ultimate illegitimacy down to time of Hoover’s COINTELPRO.

At that point, half of the voting population will see the democratic system as no longer legitimate. Elected leaders no longer legitimate.

Well, somebody seems to think armed resistance, if not open rebellion, is something to worry about, otherwise why all the gun-grabbiness. Especially with the rifles.

There is no reason for gun confiscation of law abiding whites unless you intend to commit mass murder Rwanda style.

During the 1980’s in the early gun control debate the Left admitted they didn’t care if the criminal class still had guns as long as the law abiding whites were disarmed. Even back then they had something planned for us and it wasn’t good.

I know Z poo poos such fears but historically the Left disarms the populace first before really baring it’s fangs against the populace.

America is like a late stage cancer patient where invasive surgery and dramatic treatments like chemotherapy are too late to fight for survival.

“The revolution of the future will be low-grade and mostly non-violent.” I respectfully disagree. Every civil war is unthinkable, until it happens. Besides, there are lots of scenarios in between the alternatives presented. “The Troubles” in Northern Ireland weren’t exactly a civil war, or even an armed rebellion in the Che Guevara sense, but it killed thousands of people, lasted for decades, and the insurgents ended up with at least a part of what they wanted. All this accomplished by an organization that only had a few thousand hard-core members, plus some quiet sympathizers. This would be very possible for… Read more »

Agreed. We’ll get a lot of Cliven Bundy Ranch type of uprising everywhere. Complete with Feds and cops who aren’t sure what side they want to be on: paycheck vs friends and neighbors.

We will also get a lot of Balkan style squads who will deal with uppity out-groups and who will also keep their powder dry for dealing with traitorous and malicious elites.

Once violence becomes an acceptable response on any side it will ratchet up.

The cops are going to march their “friends and neighbors” right into the death camps if they are ordered to do so. There will be zero hesitation. They will do what they are told to do. The only thing that saved the Bundy people from being shot on the spot were the pictures of armed goons pointing assault rifles and dogs at women and kids.
If the Bundy thing happened today, the media would describe them as white supremacist terrorists.
The left has been remarkably good at using women and children as human shields.

The local cops didn’t cooperate with the feds in OR. We’ve also seen decades of the local cops up along California’s “Lost Coast” not cooperate with the FBI and the DEA. If they have ties to the community some will waver. Also, especially in more rural communities, there will be a lot less tolerance for outsiders telling the locals how to behave.

The Oregon State Patrol/State Police are extremely upset with being ordered/tricked into participating in the Bundy killing. They have resisted orders by the bi-Governor to execute “red flag” gungrabs on veterans, forcing her to enlist the FBI to enforce a State law without jurisdiction. Elected County Sheriffs are not playing along with banned private sales or red flag that they know is unconstitutional both for Oregon and Federal. Bad for a Gov. !

There is evidence, based on interviews and writings, that some otherwise anti-white politicians and bureaucrats have been, at times, somewhat concerned about avoiding another “bad optics” situation, like Waco.

So they will, in some rare cases, engage in pragmatic forms of de-escalation (and just arrest people individually later on)

But it would be a mistake to confuse that with the ***police*** being unwilling to “side with their paychecks”.

A way to start your education on the Troubles is to listen and watch YouTube videos of some of the rebel songs. “My Little Armalite,” “Kinky Boots” and “My Old Man’s a Provo” give insight into the rebel cause and thinking.

The West’s civil war is elites fighting each other, as well as decades of low-level assassination and sabotage. We also have thousands of upper middle class housewives slipping passwords to hackers, housewives like Mrs. Strzok. Organizing? That’s what the left DOES.

Your mom-mole slipping anons some hacking info scenario is a realistic one. Look at how easily the DNC got owned with a couple of spear-phishing scams. Talking with experts about tech security, it’s laughable how unprepared most institutions are.

It wouldn’t take many men to harass and cripple various urban electric grids by destroying a few power lines. San Francisco is dependent on Hetch Hetchy water – a mere pipeline. It would be fun to shut down Washington DC, wouldn’t it, every few weeks or so, or NYC. Power lines and pipeline are impossible to defend every inch of their length and so forth.

Yes. So long as one isnt concerned about escaping afterwards, ANYONE can be reached out and touched. A 100-foot security perimeter is already quite a lot of work for security people to enforce. But 400 yards is extremely difficult, and 800y is damn near impossible to “secure”. But reaching out 400y is easily within the capability of literally hundreds of thousands of regular guys in this country, and 800y within the grasp of at least tens of thousands.

Power grid substations were already attacked some time ago via high power rifles aimed at physical isolation connectors and such.

The people running Planned Parenthood sell aborted baby body parts for cash to fund their huge paychecks, and all the rest of it, including the screaming mimis on the Supreme Court steps and the LARPing handmaids, are arranged in support of those big paychecks. The left is so adept at triggering people’s hind-brain emotions in support of their various grifts.

It’s speculated that some of the money Planned Parenthood is provided by the government is funneled back to the Democrats.

Not defending PP, but blaming them absolves Blacks of responsibility for their actions. Another example is blaming the Democrats for the deplorable state of Baltimore neighborhoods. The reality is that the people of Baltimore are to blame. They vote the scum in and don’t keep their own neighborhoods tidy.

Regardless of what Sanger actually intended, when someone asserts that she intended to wipe out blacks via PP, the best response is: “Yeah? Look me in the eyes and say with a straight face that she was wrong.”

This upsets, to put it mildly, both leftists and the cucked “right”, which can be amusing. But the real point is not to poke the idiots (nor to advocate genocide). It’s to see who smiles or coolly raises an eyebrow. That’s who you want to talk to.

There is a bonus in the escalating rhetoric – it inevitably de-sensitizes us, especially younger kids who’ve grown up with anti-White cranked to 11.

The neocons are actively attempting to get us into another war. A war with Iran could cause the Iranians to close the straight of Hormuz. The neocons are, I am sure, trying to convince the President that the Navy and Air Force could quickly destroy all of their land based anti-ship missiles. But even if this is true they would find ways to sink tankers and close the straight. Worldwide economic chaos ensues. The point is the next war could be the undoing of this Republic.

Not defending Iran and their Imam crazies, but really—we need to understand that we are already at war with Iran. It is an asymmetrical conflict, but a war nonetheless. How can the world’s largest economic power impose sanctions on a pip-squeak, 3rd rate nation and call it “sanctions” as if it was not some sort of attack worthy of the name, war?

If one does not wish to engage in a shooting conflict with every craphole country we don’t like, one also needs to decry engagement with such countries via sanctions.

Confiscation of assets has already been discussed wrt 401k’s. Economists have proposed converting them into Treasury bonds to avoid the “fluctuation of the markets”. Of course, that’s basically confiscation with an IOU. Something similar occurred in Argentina a couple of decades ago. Argentina banks had two type of accounts: one denominated in pesos, the other denominated in US dollars. The dollar accounts were taken in dollars and paid out in dollars.

Unfortunately, I think the most likely outcome is that there will be no rebellion at all. As you point out, the population who would have the most to gain from one are the least likely to actually rebel. Mostly because they’d also be the group with the most to loose should things go south.

The only real chance of “civil war” under the status quo is a war of rebels fought mostly by the police.

Widespread disorder is more likely than civil war. American society is vulnerable. For example, two financial processors handle all EBT transactions and accounting for 47 of 48 lower states. If both processors would fail simultaneously, disorder will follow and not be contained to those locales most dependent on their services. Disorder would increase with time as the services remain unavailable. Nationalized health coverage would open up a similar catastrophic vulnerability. The aftermath ought to rival that of a civil war.

Nationalized health coverage won’t trigger the collapse because those most in need of health care are least capable of burning things down when they don’t get it. Rioting is a young man’s game, and health care is way, way down on their list of priorities.

Read any good history of the Saratoga campaign or the campaigns in South Carolina and you probably see a better model of what would happen. Dispersed. Neighbor v neighbor. Covert attacks. Just this time it would have a technology and infrastructure wrapper around the whole conflict. Things could go from cold to hot if sufficient infrastructure is taken off line for extended periods. Saw this first hand during Sandy—and had the advantage of doing so from a first responder viewpoint with access to ERC conference calls… Read more »

Was recently reading about the Kansas / Missouri border during the Civil War. Remarkable how fast it went from political debates to massacres.

Yes. If you live in the middle of a large city, you’re fucked. You’ll have to fight your way out of roving gangs and makeshift roadblocks. It will be like Sierra Leone.

If you live in the panhandle of Oklahoma and can grow cabbage, better off.

Though not sure what I’d prefer—fighting through roadblocks or endless cabbage farts.

There are fewer than 3 million (combined) US military (active and reserve components) and police in the US. Since there is a considerable overlap between reserves and police, the true number may be closer to 2.5 million. There are at least 70 million lawful gun owners in the US (tbf, there is some overlap between military/police, and lawful gun owners) but lets call it 67 million. Those people own several hundred million weapons, and literally billions of rounds of ammunition. And a large majority of those lawful, non military/police firearms owners were in the military or were police… So, how… Read more »

Maybe the Dem debates really are just pillow talk for their bases. But if one of these nuts were to get elected and order a gun confiscation… It would be on. Cops and the military would break in all directions. Some all-in on fighting and confiscation, some fighting against what they see as a treasonous betrayal of their oaths, some heading for the hills.

That is an interesting analysis but I dont think things will stay non-violent. Imagine what happens when food distribution to cities breaks down. Look at what happened during hurricane Katrina. New Orleans went to hell in a hand basket.

I think Z may be right that it will be a very disorganized affair though. No great armies clashing and fighting it out. More Somalia than Gettysburg basically. But I do think the violent potential is enormous. I guess we ll all have front seat views….

You guys just don’t get it. All this macho BS with guns and tactics is nonsense. If you want to bring your country to a grinding halt, there’s a very simple way to do it. In fact all you “deplorables” in the hinterlands have the power, you just have to use it and there’s NOTHING anyone can to do stop you. Call it the ‘7th Year Rebellion’ if you need a catchy title – Leviticus 25:4-5 “But in the seventh year the land is to have a year of sabbath rest, a sabbath to the LORD. Do not sow your… Read more »

The John Brown Moment is coming. Until then, much like 1858, the fuze is lit, but detonation hasn’t happened yet.

“The trouble with the rebellion scenario is that a decent rebellion has to be led by people capable of organizing a lot of people.” I would like to propose another possible rebellion scenario: Disorganized/Unorganized Resistance. You are probably correct that organizing a mass rebellion from coast to coast would be difficult; nigh impossible. Rather, I think there might be thousands, tens of thousands, of small, little rebellions that will pop up here, there, everywhere. Each one some individual who, for their own reasons, has had enough. None of them are connected or related, there’s no group, cell, or network to… Read more »

Correct. A new ethos will dawn and spread like wildfire among the remaining productive element of society. Simple/Secret/Solo/Spontaneous. The anonymous everyman (and everywoman) will keep a low profile, bide their time, and act only when opportune. And sometimes, simply not doing your job can be a powerful act. Accidents happen. Call it the Alfred E. Neuman rebellion.

There must be a trigger, without that nothing changes. As long as the checks keep coming people are going to keep their heads down and enjoy having food and shelter. so the trigger will be economic.

>The main trouble with the civic war bogeyman is no one bothers to imagine how it would be conjured in the first place. Civil wars are fights between two or more factions, led by members of the elite. It’s quite easy to imagine, really. The last civil war was between north and south. The next one will be the deep blue megacities cities vs. everybody else. Upstate New York hates being ruled by the City, and the same is true of downstate Illinois, eastern Washington, redwoods California, and basically every other “blue state”. In fact, with the possible exception of… Read more »

The local cops? In a town? Where everyone knows where they live? They’ll be a non-factor by Day 2.

My scenario is that a female Democrat uses BLM rhetoric to win the black vote and the Presidency. This inspires angry black men to assasinate hundreds of cops nationwide. Eventually the cops tire of being scapegoats for dysfunctional Democratic governance. They rise up and become the renegade blue-clad right-wing death squads that the Dems presently imagine them to be. This was already happening in 2016 until Hillary lost and the BLM movement evaporated. Now we’re hearing the same talk from Warren and Harris. I think male leftists retain enough common sense to see that a war against the police would… Read more »

BLM was getting a lot of funding.

Then they went too far and that funding collapsed over night.

And now you don’t hear anything about BLM or the crimes that were committed by those who adhered to their ideology.

So the enemy is in fact keeping an eye on their proxies and is willing to cut them off, if they become too much of a liability.

BLM disappeared the moment TV networks called the election for Trump, implying that its leaders were a bunch of rich white kids building resumes for jobs in the Hillary administration. And that if we get another Hillary, we’ll get another BLM.

I wouldn’t bet money on the Left pulling off such a spectacular own goal, but many of them really are that stupid.

BLM was put on the Left’s do-not-fund, do-not-publicize-or-support list after they objected to the ADL’s involvement with Starbucks’ Day of Employee Shaming after the Philly incident (b/c ADL trains cops who be rayciss). Jews were perfectly willing to overlook the serial cop-killing inspired by BLM, but cross the ADL and you get the nails.

Didn’t police death squads operate in Brazil?

I’ve suggested for years that the police take an extended coffee and donut break while patrolling Black neighborhoods. Let the gangs handle law and order among themselves in their own neighborhoods.

Most people assume a positive correlation between democracy and freedom. If that’s so, why do the founder and the present owner of 8chan, the freest place on the internet, choose to live in the Philippines, which has death squads?

Because death squads = fewer criminals = more freedom for law-abiding people.

Not “Revolution” But Collapse Everyone is predicting that the Mighty Evil Empire of ZOG/Babylon will fall into ruin. Dmitry Orlov, James Kunstler, Karl Denninger and others of the prepper/doomer bent are the most active pointing out that economic, governmental and social collapse are around the corner. I think that they are right. There have been other major collapses like when the Old Kingdom collapsed around 2180 BC, and the Bronze Age Collapse of 1200 BC and of course the Roman collapse of 476 leading to Dark Age of a thousand years until 1492 or so. What we are seeing is… Read more »
