May Update on the “Second American Civil War”
His assessment
1. It’s “low intensity.” Low intensity conflict (LIC) is the doctrine of war below the threshold of conventional war (tanks, troops, planes) but above routine, peaceful competition. Anything over 1,000 deaths a year from political violence would be classified as a civil war. That’s certainly a much higher intensity than what we’re seeing now.
2. We’re in a “hot peace.” I certainly would not characterize America in 2016-2019 as being at “peace,” other than the absolute absence of outright war. The cultural cold war has turned hot; albeit at a very low level. If you ignore this, then you ignore reality.
3. It’s very likely to worsen. The tectonic shifts in American culture have caused periods of political violence before. The Civil Rights movement, the race riots and unrest between 1968 and the 1970s, and abortion clinic bombings are a few key examples, but even those ‘conflicts’ eventually died down. Oftentimes, conflict is generational. One generation goes away, and future generations develop their own problems.
4. We could have just two to three years before we see routine, sustained political violence. For as long as I’ve been writing about LIC, I’ve warned of the effects of the next recession and financial crisis on the political and cultural climate. (I now believe that the next recession and financial crisis have an above average chance of happening simultaneously.) Class and race warfare, I believe, will worsen as we move through this period of economic and financial uncertainty.
High youth unemployment is a universal indicator of civil unrest and violence. What I’m seeing in America’s future are social bases charged by race, class, and/or politics, who also lack economic opportunity and the hope of a better life that comes with it
What concerns me — and, again, I don’t see any of this as imminent, but I do believe it’s coming over the next few years — is what I see as a convergence of a ‘perfect storm’ scenario with radicalized social bases, a dim economic outlook and loss of hope, political leaders who give a green light or at least tacit approval to political violence, and a belief that violence is the preferable solution. These prerequisites for organized political violence are developing.

Re: Civil War Doomsday Clock
Need to get my farm started further out in the country. I am a little stressed out about this shit now with people to protect. When it was just me, I didn't really care. Let the shooting commence, I guess. But if there are people you care about depending on you.. fuck.
A lot of you are going to realize it wasn't so off-base when people said CNN actors deserved a firing squad if this goes down. It's not going to be good. And they really do deserve to get shot for fomenting a civil war like this.

I'm 2/3rds of the way through the Rebel Yell Podcast with Z Man. They do an excellent job talking about how revolutions happen, how anti-establishment folks need to understand they are hunted dissidents, we are the rebels and have to work from that point.
It's very true too. We are hated, ridiculed and silenced by the establishment because we choose biology, science and free speech over social justice.

Was odd to hear someone with the name “ghost of menken” rag on libertarians to open.
Too racist for me.
“Nobody understands black people better than southerners”
“Black people are biologically more criminal than white people”
Pass.

Meh.
Far West and Deep South are sometimes allies but we are not kin.
