It isnt a recession in Canada, its a "she-cession"

[Mayday]

You are for sure not alone in how you feel.  The question at this point though, what is stopping people from all out violence and civil war?  Is it because we are still a little too comfortable?  Maybe once the comfort goes away and food is a little harder to come by people will consider violence.  At the point we’re at now, violence is the only option to separate ourselves from the left and be free.

You are on the right track, life is easy and comfortable. People can be outraged over other people’s problems because they have none of their own.

The real problems are coming via price increases, supply shock (from decreased productivity) and resulting wage deflation.

There was no hamburger involved so I'm not yet in Pellius' league, haha.


A lot of people don't really give a shit about what goes on in the cities so that does skew things. City dwellers on average, are major pussies. As soon as you head to the suburbs and rural areas it changes dramatically. IF the so called resolution starts, it will be in small town America.

This might be true. But the cities are where the population is centered.

In 2020, there were approximately 57.23 million people living in rural areas in the United States, compared to about 272.91 million people living in urban areas.

So based on numbers alone it wont matter if something happens in a small town,  there's not enough people to carry out a resurgence.


People haven't taken action.

Not true. The cities are completely dependent on the rural areas for the food supply, power, water, etc. It's all about logistics.


By the way, neither the US nor Russia could beat the Afghanis in protracted wars. Think about that a second...

I didn’t say the rural areas were useless?

I don’t see BLM movements headed to rural Iowa or Nebraska. But if they did I’m sure people will stand their ground.  But that doesn’t changed what happened, in large metropolitan areas no right wing, conservative or any milita groups took a stand.

The one person who did, and some would say that area of Wisconsin was rural, is being tried for murder.

So maybe you think the real civil war will be  between urban and rural areas?

[Walter Sobchak]

This is the Getbig standard I love.

When BLM was leading protests against what they believed was police brutality we said they were out of control with the violence.

Now though,  we need to use civilian violence to eliminate the left.

Where were these righteous warriors when Minneapolis and Portland were burning?

Theres no civil wars coming. BLM brought the fight to your doorstep and people did nothing.

BLM didn’t bring shit to any doorstep but an isolated liberal enclave where they knew they would be 100% safe.

Remember the lawyer and his wife in St. Louis? Now picture that with me surrounded by a couple hundred shell casings and a lot of dead liberals stacked like firewood.

Sorry - I wasn't clear enough in my response.


The "force multiplier" of the rural areas is huge- they have the cities by the short hairs. You can easily live off the land in the country on as little as an acre and nearly 100% of US food comes from there. In the city, on the other hand, if the truck is late you don't eat. In fact everything in a city has to be trucked in.  So even though the votes are in the cities, the power is in the surrounding areas.


Most right wing or conservative people I know do not live in cities. That self selection probably comes from the need to be self sufficient to a degree. You  aren't going to see a right wing group going against the rioters in a big city because they don't live there so it doesn't affect them.  I lived 10 miles from downtown Phoenix, Az for a while. It was like another planet- never cared what the hell they did there.


As far as Kyle Rittenhouse goes ( I think that is who you are describing) the story is kind of odd. He is  from Illinois and went up to Kenosha, which is just over the border. I've been there quite a bit in my cycling career. It's a moderately sized city and a bedroom community, definitely not rural,  between Chicago and Milwaukee. Maybe he had family here - I haven't fully followed the story. And yes he is being railroaded.


I agree 100% that a civil war will be between rural and urban. Not a doubt in my mind.

Ha, 200 million of those city people would be dead in 60 days without a nanny state. Half the people there can't even cook for themselves let alone grow food.

Good points.

I never considered the “civil war” being between rural and urban. That puts a completely different spin on the concept.

I’ve predominantly lived in rural community’s which helped shaped my conservative views. I never took the simple fact into account that conservatives don’t live in urban areas...

I was referring to Kyle. Kenosha is not a big city by any means more of a town but I’m sure you’re right that it would be considered an urban area. But my point is still valid no one stood their ground. In context it doesn’t matter maybe we should let the urban areas destroy themselves.

Good post.

Agreed.

People were going crazy over a lack of toilet paper.

It's a very nice image, but it would be even nicer if the liberals we're still alive, doused in gasoline, surrounded by actual firewood, with you about to let a match and drop it on the pile of them.

In Weimar Germany during the hyperinflationary phase there was a large divide between country and city.

Country folk would usually supply food into the city however they didn’t want to sell their product for currency which was depreciating quickly. So they held onto the food and city folk experienced food and goods shortages.

The country folk didn’t actually need to sell anything because their mortgages and debt were inflated away leaving them with homes and equipment fully owned and plenty of food. So they lived through that period better than city folk.

You want to live around agriculture and natural resource locations during these times because that’s where the money flows and jobs and salaries perform well.

The farther out in the country the better.  Have guns and ammo available to defend against hordes of people from the city desperate for food.

If civil war starts in the US are American patriots as tough with as much endurance as the Afghanis?

Most rural women voted for Trump.

True, but the primary reason Trump is not President: Women.

I don’t see a Civil War in this country necessary as much as just a divorce. You have irreconcilable differences between certain groups. It needs to be broken up.

I don’t see it happening. You’d essentially have to start the country over from scratch. This is the case with most of the big problems, healthcare, social programs...
