Been getting a surprising number of QRTs, comments, and DMs from people advocating for civil war and violence in response to gun control proposals.
Stop that talk now.
Do you actually know what comes with civil wars?
You run out of water because the taps don't work and the water is contaminated anyway.
Your grandmother gets picked off by a 14 year old trying to prove himself.
You hear about a nearby neighborhood getting torched and everyone getting put in a mass grave.
Foreign mercenaries and governments aiding your enemies and leaving you to starve.
It's not just you and your buddies running ambushes and raids. It's dirty. It's vulgar. It's animalistic. It's total war.
The sides won't be clear cut, either. Think about how divided the right already is. If you can't even build coalitions to fight gun control laws how are you going to build a coalition to fight your enemies?
We're more likely to see massive infighting within the right than we are to see everyone unite.
Then the left will do the same.
And then everyone will be fighting everyone else.
Civil wars are rarely two-sided conflicts. They are quagmires of disparate groups killing each other and their enemies relentlessly.
You should look to Syria if you want to see what a civil war in the US would look like. 13 years and over 500,000 dead, over half were civilians.
I understand the anger and frustration but violence is an absolute last resort and shouldn't be talked about lightly
I have been proposing we do what the left does to push their agendas like coalition building, protesting, and being a legal nuisance and instead I have been getting edgy edgelords and justifiably upset people calling for violence.
Stop it.
It's playing with fire and once the djinn leaves the bottle, it doesn't go back in.
