Yeah, my wife was literally saying this the other day.
I really think we are already in civil war, we just haven't accepted it. The US war between the states wasn't a typical civil war. What we are seeing now is more typical. Not sure when historians will peg the start but it might be this year.
Many of us have been talking about this for years and considered stupid for it but peaceful choices to not associate with others is better than killing each other. Trying to force people into one culture is a fools errand and that should be obvious.
It's WW3, foreign powers just happen to align with some domestic factions. There's always a shadow government.
It's also why notions that we can do without the state are delusional, as I said, the state is emergent. Power vacuums naturally get filled.

In your view what are the sides in this conflict?
reply
There's more columns than can be named, individual foreign powers, industries, trusts, idealogues, each acting out of self interest
At these crisis points though, we where options are few, I think they demarcate into positive sum and negative sum ideology... Good and evil.

I would've named globalists vs nationalists as one split, but I'm not sure if that's the kind of dichotomy you had in mind.

I think those are the meta factions domestically, but it's a World War in which each nation is a battlefield.
Globalists are negative sum, so act to consolidate the scraps.
Nationalists are positive sum seeking to rebuild and return their nation to a better time.

This is very chaotic for sure. We always over-simplify things. When I see "documentaries" they almost always over-simplify things into neat little boolean perspectives. Chaos seems to be the trend.

Order rises from chaos, the cycle continues...
