    CIVIL WARS AROUND THE WORLD DO NOT RELY ON DEMONSTRATIONS IN THE STREETS – THOSE ARE EASILY QUELLED

    If you look around the world, men don’t buy supplies for civil war. Money has no meaning when there are a thousand of you. Power has no meaning when there are ten thousand of you. Resistance has no meaning when there are one million of you. In fact, the central problem is retaining enough small units such that the territory can replenish, while the urban centers do not. Logistics (feeding, organizing) quickly becomes a negative when you centralize too many men. Defeat becomes a possibility when you centralize too many men. Being ‘annoying’ everywhere is the most certain strategy to bring about revolutionary change. We take our order for granted, but if a civil war can keep pressure on the supply lines (economy) for over ninety days the patterns of sustainable specialization and trade cannot be restored (supply lines will collapse).

    HERE IS THE MAGIC BIT TO SOLVE:

    A mob is very easy to mobilize once together.

    But mobilizing a lot of smaller mobs is much harder.

    Yet that is how it is done.

    That is the future of civil war.

    STUDY THE WORLD TODAY

    A Contemporary “Viking Raid” consists of a few thousand men, pickup trucks with extra gas cans, some generators and pumps for getting fuel, engaging in hit-and-run tactics for food, weapons, supplies, ‘hostages’ (political prisoners), and portable wealth (money). Taking out power, data, water, fuel, bridges, overpasses. Setting fires and retreating to friendly territory, setting up a perimeter, Roasting Whole Cows and Pigs every night, drinking beer, and repeating the same thing tomorrow.

    That’s the equivalent of a viking raid today.

    We are going to have a civil war and it’s going to leave a mark on history and there will be a very different allocation of world powers ninety days into it, and every major immigrant city will be in ashes.

    @Rambobiggs And it would be a short war my friend. The government has nukes. Too many of them. But they’re legit. I’m sure if we talked we could find common ground to protect our families and communities.

    (a) they can’t use them without being exterminated world wide, (b) the military WON’T use them, (c) military and police will heavily side with RED, and AL/GA hunters outnumber govt employees (c)they are the worst possible weapon. See RedBlue Team results. RED ALWAYS WINS. ALWAYS.

    —-“The west is fracturing along an ideological fault line. Increasingly you will need to choose which side you are on… are you ok with the destruction of the ethnic and cultural identity of the west, or are you going to hold the line. Displacement of the ethnically European majority populations of the West by immigrants from non western cultures is not some abstract distant possibility, but an imminent existential threat. Now or never.” —-Dylan Ringwood

    The big sort continues. time for devolution of social policy to the states as the only possible means of averting civil war. We can do so orderly or disorderly. But it’s going to happen one way or the other.

    ASSANGE is probably sufficient incentive to attract enough men to start that civil war. I know impeachment is. I know the border wall is. Assange might be.

    A glimpse into a “hot” US Civil War.

    If we expect the initial hostilities to fall along political ideology, left vs right (parasite vs producer), then we can see by the ideology maps that the leftists primarily occupy major cities.

    Dense, urban settings. The thing is, even in today’s “functioning” leftist cities, crime is rampant as is refuse and human waste. Some cities like San Diego has recurring hepatitis outbreaks now….

    San Fran is swimming in human feces.

    Now imagine when the power goes down, the lights go dark, the water stops flowing, the water becomes non-potable, the store shelves run bare and resupplies are sporadic if at all.

    That will happen with a week of a shut down.

    Power substations hit, key power transmission lines taken out, roadways barricaded or railways lines sabotaged.

    It really doesn’t take much for the whole system to screech to a halt.

  • WE BELIEVE WAR IS POLITICS BY OTHER MEANS AND THEY BELIEVE POLITICS IS WAR BY OT

    WE BELIEVE WAR IS POLITICS BY OTHER MEANS AND THEY BELIEVE POLITICS IS WAR BY OTHER MEANS.

    by Greg Hamilton

    I became acutely aware of the issue about twenty years ago when I read The Western Way of War by VDH

    We westerners have been trained and probably genetically selected to favor one type of war, the decisive battle with terms of surrender. Basically nearly a sporting event.

    This led me on a big study of maneuver and asymmetry.

    Here my super short takeaway. Asymmetry of beliefs, values, definitions, etc is a harder asymmetry to deal with than weapons, skills, etc.

    We can kill the islamic terrorists 100:1 and they consider themselves the victor. And our national will is broken by the 1.

    Somalia pirates are savages with rifles and we cant bring ourselves to just overwhelm them and be done with it, so they actually threaten giant steel ships. Asymmetry of beliefs. Our new morals are paralyzing and suicidal.

    China conducts non-stop war upon us, its just doesn’t include shooting, and we roll over and take it. Because we believe war is politics by other means and they believe politics is war by other means.
