I've been hearing that for like 15 years, and 15 years ago when I was a young teenager and a little chud I was saying that myself. Part of my wants to say "no, chuds just say that," but I also think we have reached the point of decline in the empire where it could actually happen.
Interesting. Yeah, I mean, the contradictions are definitely ratcheting up and I'm not sure that Joe von Bidenburg can de-escalate them, and maybe normies are noticing, too. My parents were talking about it again, but they are also chuds and are mad about the election.
I don't think we are there yet because the left doesn't pose enough of a threat to capital for them to put fascists into power, but there are a lot of things that I would consider warning signs.
Sure there are warning signs, but until we have economic issues mirroring cultural I just don't see how it would happen. Maybe if the exurbs become tax free havens and the cities are punished, but again that would hurt da stonks.
We just saw quickly industry will come down on politicians that step out of line. Trump passed the massive tax bill and what is his thanks? The titans of industry won't even let him have a little coup, as a treat. Sad.
He was covering the BLM protests this summer, a lot more people follow him from that probably. From what I can tell, the biggest problem people have with him is that he works for bellingcat, who have been in a long feud with grayzone people and mark ames/War nerd over the proper narrative of the Syria war
Agreed, but his feud with bellingcat is more with the other people, Evans hasn't really been involved with their Syria stuff afaik. More like guilt by association (that part of it, at least)
It Could Happen Here is an essential listen for any American, imo. Civil War 2 always sounds ridiculous upon first hearing it, but then you look at places like Syria, and with convincing arguments, I can definitely see us going down that path in the next few years.
It won’t be Democrats vs Republicans, or liberals vs conservatives. It could start with right wing attacks on highway infrastructure, or city blocks being seized by Nazi groups. Then you get leftist defense groups, followed by clashes between different factions.

Did she vote before Trump?

Is it possible she is just watching too much MSNBC?

I just don't see it. Civil war over what? Cultural issues? Both parties are owned by the corporations and capitalists.

Robert Evans
You can just say explicit anarchist, it's ok

Oh I thought you were talking about the man, not the series.

I'm not familiar with Evans, but it's hard to discredit Ames and the Radio War Nerd.
