Rogan is basically a gym bro. If he limited his shit to fitness, fighting, and health, I would be more interested in it.

The logic in that video was fucking abysmal. He is basically saying people who think we are likely to end up in a civil war are either crazy or morons because a civil war would be so fucking horrible.

No shit it will be horrible. Because something is horrible doesn't make it less likely, genius. Stick to UFC.

What they are saying is that people meaning what they believe are most the people saying they want to fight and want a civil war do not actually want a civil war...b/c ...hold....it would be awful. It means tweets, posts, blogs, videos etc. are a bunch of blowhards. That is all. He is not saying that b/c war is bad war will not happen.

Most of us joke about something that is horrible because fuck it, it's better than crying about what we know to be a very probable event in our near future.

If you want to get upset with people about it, then talk to the people who think it's okay to mob up against other Americans and threaten them in public. Talk to the people who think women getting smashed in the face with a club deserved it for daring to go to an event one side doesn't like. The violence right now is entirely one-sided, and I am saying a big fuck you to the tone police like Joe Rogan when they castigate us for joking about the apparently inevitable as a kind of undercover defense of the indefensible on the left.

That's how these people operate. They know they can't rationally defend what the left is doing, so they make these false equivalences. "Everybody is doing it". Sure thing, dude. Whatever. Then: "you really need to watch what you say because your violent rhetoric is dangerous!". That part is only directed to people outside the left. You know.. the people getting attacked on the streets who are joking about what will happen when the violence gets reciprocated and then escalates.

The American right has been extremely restrained in recent years, but I think that restraint from day fucking one was a huge mistake because it only emboldened these degenerates to increase the violence to the point where eventually this is just going to snap. Had people said fuck that and fought back from day one we'd never be here today talking about civil war.

Telling an aggressor you're not looking for trouble only emboldens them.

On Killing gives a good breakdown of the stages of combat.

If you want to avoid a fight, the first step is to demonstrate that you're ready to fight.

If you actually do want to fight, then feign like you don't.

Let's look at the situation here in specific detail.

Political
A wide majority of the Lefts politicians seek to overturn the 2016 election
Leaders on the left openly call for violence against political opponents
There seems to be no voices on the Left opposing these actions
Lefty state leaders are defying Federal law enforcement
In Congress the Democrats seek to give FBI Agents cover rather than finding the truth

Social
Friends and Family have broken off ties
People have chosen sides locally and online and have mostly stopped talking. Look at what's happened to DCF-MHF since the election.

These factors can't be ignored

Fact is, they cannot prevail. A blue versus red civil war today is really a civil war perpetrated by about a dozen cities against the rest of America.

Good luck, soyboys. The Army would shut down all roads and rails, and impose no fly zones there. You are all disarmed and concentrated in easily besieged places.

For example, look at Frisco. We need only lock down about four bridges and a coastal highway.
