An American civil war would be a riot of people yelling at the clouds.

I'd imagine that to still be the case, certain Areas like Wyoming are just... not really relevant? I don't think either side would be looking to burn down America's farmlands scorched earth style. Nobody is really going to want to march through Nevada. etc.
Texas and California formed an alliance for the “Western Forces” and that seems like the most ridiculous part.
Americans just don't realize how comfortable we are .Things may not be the best but a war in our own backyards will make things way worse, Millions will die either though violence or hunger and our lives will never be the same
yep - that's what wars do.
I think that's the point, both sides wants their lives to change drastically, it's just a difference in how, and in the end nobody is going to get what they want.
Indeed, 1rst world problems.... are not problems. Based on obesity numbers, there will be no war. All of the combatants would die of heart attack and obesity before they could actually engage in combat... not to mention lack of metformin for their diabetes.
Man, its almost like sometimes people are willing to sacrafice comfort in the name of whats right. Who woulda guessed?
I think in the end the majority of Americans won’t ever do anything, small group would probs pop up but that will be squashed quick and quietly.

Someone’s a Trump supporter. Wake up and stop drinking the kool-aid. He’s a reincarnation of Jim Jones.
Taxation without representation. All liberal policies of the Democrat party, who has turned its back on the American people seem to be pushing the country to civil war. Otherwise they would not embrace millions of illegal aliens they invited into the country at taxpayer expense. We have seen there are limits to a two party system where age and term limits do not keep the politicians in check. For they never retire or give up their seat only upon death. I too agree with you the corruption of the Democrats can only lead one to believe they have sold out to America's enemies. And it was the Democrats who started the first civil war, so why not the 2nd? It's in their history against this once beacon of light in the world of oppression and evil dictators.

Been saying this for years. west of I-5 and east of I-95 starting below DC and going north will be uncontested marxist territory and no need for red to invade. Red will be going after landlocked blue urban cities in the interior to evict the marxists. Can be done with seige and "borrowing" any logistics found traveling thru the deep red sea surrounding these cities.
I'd argue that yes community matters, yet I could tell you that within my town ( graduating class of 48) several lean left, majority leans right but it feels like it'll turn to the left in a decade or so. It also varies town to town

My oath I signed never expires
I was raised in one of the more peaceful parts of Northern Ireland during the troubles. When you are exposed to news of bombings and shootings daily, it doesn't stop you going somewhere like Belfast or Derry/Londonderry, or on a night out it makes you more vigilant. Bombs could be anywhere so you remained vigilant when out and about.
You'll swerve the car to avoid a paper/plastic bag in the road, it could hold a device there to ambush security forces.
I remember opening my bag to be security checked before entering shops, that becomes normal.
We checked behind/under stock in shops for hidden devices before closing time. There were also things like 'bomb sales' where the shops sold everything for dirt cheap after a bomb went off. Sometimes the glass/smoke smell came out of the clothes/items, and sometimes they didn't.
I’m currently in grad school and one of my classes is around Social Reconciliation (which will include a 2 weeks trip to Ireland/NI next month) and this is an interesting perspective, in reference to what I’ve read thus far. As an American in his early 40’s, I feel like The Troubles wasn’t as discussed or covered on the news as much. I appreciate your perspective, especially on a topic like this video and from a recent more-West-related conflict.
That is horrifying, and thank you for sharing.

If you want to listen to the opinion of a Syrian. My country had a civil war that we still live with its ongoing effects. I know about the Lebanese civil war. They are ugly. They are scary. They never go as expected. They always drag on of years or decades. They end up with failed divided states. Destroyed economy. Counties lose their identity. They are never the same. You lose your memories. Your homes. Your neighborhoods. Your cities. Your enemy is your brother. Your neighbor. Your friend.
Thank you for your opinion
This needs to be pinned. @Warographics do ya thang.
As an American, I just want to apologize on behalf of my government constantly intervening in Syria and the middle East in general. I have absolutely no control over my government, they forcefully take my hard earned money (I am self employed and work 12 hour days 6 days), and call it taxation. But the taxation doesn't go to help the every day American, it goes to the war machine. It makes me disgusted that my money has been used against my will to commit atrocious actions and/or "stir the pot" in the way that feeds the military machine... English is my second language, I'm not from here originally. So my perspective is complex and nuanced. Ultimately, I believe the USA Government are the main problem in the world currently. I think things will be better, for the world as well as for Americans, once a revolution happen. I am hopeful to see our constitution and principles reinstated. Maybe it's bias, but I know many non westerns and Europeans would prefer if there must be a global super power... Russia is preferable to the United States. This is not to say Russia is eutopia, not even closer to one. Russia has a much better track record of trying to use treaties and sticking to them unless there other party breaks it, Russia does not intervene to the extent USA does, and Russia does not have white supremacy complex such as USA.
This is getting rambling but I pray to God/Allah that there will be one day global peace. I wish we will all stop fighting, and instead sit down to discuss every day things ...it will lead humanity to realize we have much more in common than not
Your Civil war started because the government was doing horrible things to the people. Our civil war is going to start because people watch too many propaganda UA-cam videos about how bad everything in our country is, even though life here is pretty sweet compared to most of the rest of the world. People are bored and spoiled and ready to destroy their country over nothing. They know not what they wish for.
Well said sir
People in my country joke that there could never be a civil uprising in the USA because there is no US embassy to stage it.
Ah yes Bolivia
Well, if you have Russian one, then there's always the possibility as well.
Or they could label you terrorists and just invade outright lol
Unfortunately this is true. Great comment. I hate how our elite politicians stir up crap in other countries.
Destabilizing the eastern hemisphere while dominating the western hemisphere is an effective way to maintain the power gap.
That's ok we have a Russian Embassy they've taken over Civil Wars in West Africa why not here?
UA-cam gave me a warning for suggesting that any nuke armed country that's losing a civil war, will use its nukes as self defense. Apparently YT can't handle reality.

How am I still finding new channels from this guy
In 1906, Alfred Henry Lewis stated, “There are only nine meals between mankind and anarchy.”
Which is what a civil war will be like.
And all us ignorant farmers and truckers have to do is cut off the food supply and fuel supply and watch the masses feed on themselves.
Last time I checked, the liberal hives don’t actually grow their own food, provide their own resources or care about the actually humans who provide their ways of life.
9 ? 😂😂 fat America will be arming up after 4 😂😂
Yes, in an era with almost no refrigeration nor modern food-processing, everything had to be bought or gathered every single day and prepared every single day. Still, it's equally true today. If the power goes out, kaaaaaa-BOOOOOOM. There is one consolation: all the other countries on Earth are in the same boat. If the Brewskis or the Ch*nks start some sh*t, we can take them with us.
Absolute truth !
As an American myself...
I'm not really keen on a civil war.

Check out "the Business Plot" for just how close America came to a civil war in the 30's.
How close was it really though? Butler said he was approached by MacGuire and claimed it was supported by half a million men and had around $3 million in funding but then why did nothing come of it? Because Butler said no to replacing FDR or were the financiers getting cold feet? Was Butler or MacGuire embellishing on how much backing this potential coup had?
If it ever existed, which is questionable. If it did exist and they attempted to carry it out it would have failed and been condemned.
@@judsonbox9845 What do you mean by "if it ever existed"? It is a well documented historical fact, it did fail and was condemned.
@@richardbritten492 “ In Schlesinger's summation of the affair in 1958, "No doubt, MacGuire did have some wild scheme in mind, though the gap between contemplation and execution was considerable, and it can hardly be supposed that the Republic was in much danger” A single night of drunken rambling about conspiracy does not a government coup make.
@@richardbritten492 Historian Robert F. Burk wrote, "At their core, the accusations probably consisted of a mixture of actual attempts at influence peddling by a small core of financiers with ties to veterans organizations and the self-serving accusations of Butler against the enemies of his pacifist and populist causes."
Another banger, Butler was a deranged crank with an axe to grind.
It makes me sick just thinking about another civil war in the USA. Abraham Lincoln's quote is chilling but accurate. I don't understand why people are polarizing so much, maybe it's social media. I remember being able to talk, have friends and even date others of opposite views. We need each other, and I think this has been forgotten. Ignorance will cause a civil war. Maybe we have been so isolated from war, only seeing it on TV that we have forgotten how horrific it all really is. I leave with a quote as well; “Those who cannot remember the past, are condemned to repeat it.” ― George Santayana
People become polarized because they adopt an ideology, without realizing that the United States is governed by the rich, the average American thinks that their neighbor is the enemy, just for being a Democrat or Republican, without realizing that the enemy is the government
It's a type of thought that cannot be eliminated without shedding blood
@@armandoventura9043 I hope your wrong.

Or see enough issues or have been victims of violence from the other side enough to see its dire necessity. And with those in charge getting rid of peaceful ways of resistance left and right, it makes violence inevitable.

At the battle of Antietam when soldiers ran out of ammo they picked up rocks and killed the enemy with them.The hate was real.

more like early stage "manufactured consent".
Is it really hate. Or is it just fear of being killed or fear of being captured? Or is it just trying to fight for your country however you can? Buy time for another brigade to arrive and help or for friends to get away? Or are they just following orders?
Motives are complex.
That is good since places having rocks that can be chipped to have extra jagged edges ..technique called knapping used too . Rocks can be wielded enforce well when pummeling targets ..using hard quartz stones and hard shapely cobble stones from a creek or such place . Rocks from dry waterways in deserts ..much warped and jagged kinds .
at 2nd Manassas at the railroad cut the 9th Louisiana having run out of ammo drove back 2 union assaults with rocks, that is the most famous use of it in the War of Northern Aggression r

The problem of a modern civil war is that it wouldn't be regional as much, it'd be neighborhood by neighborhood. Similar to a Balkans situation. EDIT: Everyone reading this needs to work on their reading comprehension.
I said *similar* to, not exactly like. The main emphasis of this comment is that it would not have clear cut battle lines like the American civil war of the past, instead lines would vary within one state or even change neighborhood by neighborhood.
EDIT 2: I will no longer be replying to most comments, only those that demonstrate a modicum of sense.
I doubt that because most peoples beliefs aren't very solid its mostly group think. A group of hardcore socialists in a conservative town would quickly conform to conservatism because their opinions aren't based on anything but going with the flow

I like how Michigan is conspicuously absent from the regional secession poll, as if it's like, "Meh. We'll just stick over here with Canada."

Have you seen the prices?
Everyone I know who is a gun owner has anywhere from 5000-15,000 rounds on hand. Half of the people I know save their brass because they have a reload station. The US is a very different nation to any other out there. And when it comes to a Civil War... it might not last as long as people think.
Another important factor in civil war and unrest is a large percentage of disaffected young men. The dropping rates of men attending/graduating college, and the declining marriage rate, and the fact that 60% of unmarried men 20-30 years old are not seeking a sexual/romantic relationship, indicates that a large portion of fighting age men have less attachment to the society, whether via opportunity or family. This takes away the standard deterrents that prevent fighting age men from running amok.
In recent memory the most uprisings in America happened in the 1960s and early 70s. When many of the uneducated young men were in Vietnam in a useless war. And 60% of young men are not seeking romantic relationships? By that do you mean "starting a family"? You used the term "fighting aged men" twice, so that makes me think you have a certain mentality.
I think what you are saying is there are a lot of incels out there. Ya know what? That's not a new thing at all. Always been autistic males who can't find a partner.
Must suck, but that sounds like a you problem. Neither of my children or any of their friends seem to be having issues with finding a partner.
Save one thing, they're mostly soft pasty whimps. Murders maybe but an army or the like no. Not like Rome.
Easier to radicalize someone already angry at the system than to convince someone living comfortably that things are going south. The video literally gives us the example of well off Bosniaks in Sarajevo thinking "Naw dog, it won't happen here, it's just those crazy dudes stockpiling ammo because they're angry".
No one should wholeheartedly dismiss the possibility that a bunch of down on their luck military aged males will start looking for answers, even if those involve violence.
@@jlqe3401 Yep. We have real problems when we depend on video games and internet porn to help provide political stability.
@@paulmackay7265 Good points & questions. Thanks for the thoughtful response.
I used the term "fighting aged" to connect the nebulous demographic between 18 and 35 to connect that age range to civil war. Not a mentality, just a shortcut.
I mean 60% are not seeking sex, relationships, or family. They have given up on trying to develop the interpersonal connections that give men meaning, reduce their selfishness, and prompts them to invest in the good of the society as a whole (for the sake of their loved ones.)
True, there have always been some INCELs, but historically, most were raised with a dad in the home, so they were shown more responsible, productive manhood.
By contrast, 30% of kids are currently being raised without a dad in the home. (It is 75% in the demographics with the highest murder and incarceration rates.) That correlates with radically disproportionate rates of criminality, suicide, addiction, and homicide, and the lowest rates of high school graduation and college attendance.
I am willing to bet that you build for your family's future, and that has become a guiding purpose in your life. I know that caring for my family made me more attached to the good of the society as a whole, and I do not think that is unusual.
I am also willing to bet the main reason your boys are doing fine is you. Think about who they would be if their main concept of masculinity wasn't because they watched dad going to work and paying bills, solving problems without violence, and holding himself accountable for how his life turned out.
What if their image of manhood was based primarily on movies, TV, and the bitter, entitled MGTOW tripe?
My observations are NOT a "me thing" because mass shootings, and five-murder weekends in Chicago and Baltimore are not a me thing. Burning down neighborhoods in 2020 was not a me thing.
We have canaries dying in the coal mine, and I think that one of the things killing them is a poverty of meaningful intimate relationships. Another one is a dearth of dads being intimately involved in their kids' lives.
As a dad, you REALLY matter.

I remember back in the 1960's, we went through a similar scenario.
No we didn't. The country now is far more deeply divided in every way. Nixon was no Trump and Republicans didn't defend him and they didn't repudiate the rule of law and our judicial system. No real parallels here, this is deeper and more dangerous.
Safe to say, this war would take elements of: The French Revolution, The first American Civil War, The Spanish Civil War, and the Breakup of Yugoslavia

If conflict were to break out, it would almost certainly breakdown as urban vs rural. The numbers already breakdown that way, and it would be much easier for people to flee the country for the nearest city or vice-versa than it would be to flee a state like Kentucky or Nebraska to California or the northeast.
City folks would fail to to rural towns. The supposedly dull witted country folk and already armed and waiting for them to try. This is no intellectual game, this is bare survival we are talking about.
I don't see those who are living in rural areas fleeing to urban areas. I think it will be those in the urban areas going to the suburban and rural areas looking for food/water once they're done looting the urban areas.
@@user-kz5cw2gj3w Yeah, what are Rural people worried about from urban folks? Them waiving their stock portfolios at them? Urban folks offer nothing physical or substantial to survival, they live in a world of paper, computers, and digital lives.
Urban and rural people would largely stay away from each other just out of self preservation. The last place rural people are gonna go is into a completely lawless city. And the last thing urban people are gonna want to do is go get slaughtered in wide open spaces. This isn't a Union vs Confederate situation where both sides have territorial ambitions. Lawlessness and thievery would be dealt with on a case by case basis. However if you're a government employee, I would not recommend showing up to work. as you would certainly be the common enemy. Inner cities would absolutely devolve into chaos and carnage, while the rural folks would likely band together and guard their townships.

The more telling map for you to consider would be a county map showing the 2020 Election . It reflects a country divided into Urban and Rural .
And all the food, water and gases come from our (conservative) areas. Not to mention leftist mostly live in cities that are easily surrounded and cut off. We have way more firearms and ammo. 85% of ex special forces are conservative. We have more outdoor survival skills.
You noticed that too huh??
That's in every single country on the planet.
Latin America has conservatives in cities and liberals in the countryside
And even more telling is a map that accounts for vote share and population density. What you get is a sea of purple suburbs with pockets of blue and red and a lot of emptiness in the middle.
@AlexChec: Dense population is easily surround able and cut off from supplies. All the cities water, food and gases come from us conservatives. That’s only one out of many advantages we hold.

I like the field of non-state armed group economy. An IRA man, a taliban, a cuban communist etc who wants to be a full-time fighter for the Cause still needs the basic human needs met.
It's like with state armed forces. A lot if not the majority of people are not frontline trigger men. Someone needs to cook for that IS fighter, someone needs to collect the revolutionary tax, someone has to collect and move kit.
When you have military control of an area you can start to tax it. Local business, routes, some raw material or what have you. Groups without territoral control like the IRA could still run effectively protection rackets.

As a 40 year old American I can truly say this is the first time in my lifetime that feels like we are on the verge of something big. The current people in power on both sides do not serve the people. In fact they seemingly do everything we don't want them to do. It won't be just a civil war it would be a real insurrection if something happens. That's how most people in Louisiana feel that I speak to. I hope it doesn't get to that point though.
I honestly don't hate trumpers. Trump is only a figure because the politicians are so completely and obviously serving the billionaires. Those are the true enemies of America. The billionaires and their toadys in government. It's not your fellow workers who is a Democrat or Republican. The blue red dynamic surprise surprise is pushed by the MSM and government itself. Think people!
A new revolution
You can’t possibly equate the two sides at this point. I hate partisan politics as much as anyone, but if you seriously think that BOTH sides are EQUALLY against the interests of the people, then you need to get your head out of your own ass.
LA would be a goner without the feds.
Unlike what the speaker here says the fight may not be American vs American, it will most likely be American Vs Invader (or what the government keeps telling us are more American than we are).

The description of what it would look like is already in American history. Bleeding Kansas. Or even leading up to the American revolution. I was recently doing Family tree research and found that one of my ancestors was one of the only loyalists to keep a journal that survived. He first started as a patriot and took part in tarring and feathering, burning down homes, driving loyalists from their towns. He loved a girl from a loyalist family but was forbidden by the family from seeing her so they had to sneak around. He later became a loyalist and was reported to have saved a captured patriot from being tortured, scalped, and killed by pulling his gun on one of his fellow loyalists. He also talks about being disowned by his family and never seeing his brothers again because they were patriots. His father and brothers were patriots while his uncle was a loyalist that was imprisoned by patriots. After the war him and his wife (the loyalist girl he had to Romeo and Juliet with) were forced to flee to canada. Barely managing to escape when (even after the patriots had won) decided to raid and burn down his house.
P.S. a couple days late but I feel the Hatfield- McCoy feud is another example in American history that shows what another civil war would look like
Interesting who you define as a patriot
Of course. You have to deal with the traitors after you win. You can't trust them ever again. I understand why they chased him off to Canada.

At least you finally have a competent and educated leader, not like America currently hahaha
You missed the part where last month your government actually has a budget surplus . The first time in over 20 years .
At least Argentina was a Catholic country. #PopeFrancisFraudster has been poisonous to the Christian faith and seems to have wreaked havoc in both Chile & Argentina. Catholic Church has been in crisis since 1958 Masonic pope & Vatican II. Don't forget when people of the world wished to be wealthy as an Argentine, Pope Pius X back in 1904 WARNED the world to say no to Theodor Herzl's Zionist Plan to conquer Palestine. Today we face WW3 and global economic collapse. PS - Hitler the "catholic" ignored 2 previous popes and immediately in 1933 supported the Germany-Zionist relocation agreement.
I think a lot of countries are feeling the effects of decades of mismanagement and poor leadership. Which makes it easy for bad actors to get elected and make things worse. Once the people have been blinded and lied to enough, the stop being able to recognize competence and instead run after grifters and the lot. You can spot these people easily with their smugness and the ease with which they put down actual leaders and dismiss them as incompetent and corrupt. Makes it feel like we have entered some weird dystopian rabbit hole of stupidity of the worst kind..
@@eaglerider1826 Time will tell how that surplus is used. I fear it won't be used altruistically.
I wrote a monograph on the American Civil War in Missouri, my central thesis was that the civil war as it was fought in Missouri (as opposed to the pitched battles in the east) is much more akin to how a second civil war would be fought today. Missouri was a melting pot between north and south and loyalties weren’t geographic, but ideological, denominational, and of course political. We would see bushwhacking in a second civil war taken to a whole new level. Imagine what one modern bolt action deer rifle can do to instil fear, knowing that at anytime you might get bushwhacked. People were routinely lynched or bushwhacked then, but that was with black powder weapons. Now, also add to this that the US has a whole population of those like myself who are Iraq/Afghan war veterans who cut our teeth in asymmetrical warfare and learned the employment IEDs (improvised explosive device) since they were used on us so much.
The picture I’m painting only gets worse.

Unfortunately, the social media fuels this stuff... There isn't a middle ground, you are either on left or on right and they push each other fiercely.
Honestly the political purity tests I see far more on the left than the right.
The Far Left has gotten to the point where they are flaming people like Stephen A Smith and Anna Kasperian, both very much leftists, because they are not mindlessly toeing the line.
I grew up a liberal but can't stand the far left and I see the woke side as the most toxic and divisive..... they are the types that will automatically report you for having an opinion they don't like.... they don't care about free speech... if you have an opinion that doesn't align with their agenda they try to cancel you or silence you in some way..... they are far more scarier then the republicans ever were growing up.... at least even hard liner republicans respect the notion of free speech or the right to speak an opinion that they don't agree with. The far left are the types to have you silenced or jailed and truly believe themselves the good guys and sleep peacefully at night while doing it. They remind me of a certain group in the 1930's that put themselves on a pedestal while scapegoating a group of people as the "bad guys who must be silenced and ran out of the country"
they all view the others by their worst examples but view their own side by the best of them
