    Americans are too spoiled, coddled, lazy, entitled, dependant, and apathetic to fight a civil war.

      As the Lenin quote goes, every society is three hot meals away from chaos. The standard of living in US is rapidly collapsing, and people's wages are not keeping up with the cost of living. That can't go on forever.

          That very much used to be the case when most people could make ends meet financially. The problem now is that increasing numbers of people are unable to pay their bills. Credit card delinquencies are at all time high, so are car payments, and soon people won't be able to afford their mortgages or rent. That's what's driving the polarization of society.

        That's a great quote. I hadn't heard that one from him.

      It's actually dependent with an e that is the correct spelling. I'm reporting to my nearest re-education camp.

    Then quarter (at least) of Americans are dumb as shit. Who's going to revolt? The low IQ boomer fuckwits that believe the shit they read on Facebook? Give me a break. Half of those wrinkly old shit stains are so glued to their own couches watching Fox "news" they'd probably have a heart attack from the physicality of walking up a steep incline.

    So sick of this fucking bullshit line that we're going to have a civil war. Go the fuck outside and get some fresh air jesus christ.
