I’ve yet to see a major media outlet call it what it is.
It’s sheer cowardice at this point. The president himself has called it war.
Comment on YSK: A real American Civil war will NOT be like Battlefield or COD.

… Americans don’t realize they’re already in a civil war? Bro a city is occupied. Secret police roam freely. Tens of thousands disappeared.

They are moving 1500 soldiers to Minneapolis to quell the “violence” which is basically people marching with signs and blocking traffic.
Ice agents are threatening to murder people and telling them they should have learned to be meek so they don’t get murdered like Goode

There’s no armed fighting back, so it’s not a civil war it’s purging.

It may not have actually escalated into shooting yet, but the armed defense is certainly beginning.

Which city? I’ve been keeping an eye on her news and I still feel like I miss shit

Chicago. LA. Minneapolis. And more, but those are currently the most egregious.

That isn’t a civil war. That is an autocracy. If the people across the state were coming in a militia to take over that would be a civil war.

Where do you think the ICE agents are drawn from, buddy? Downtown St. Paul? Pedantic.
SocialMediaRefugee@lemmy.world 8 hours ago
That isn’t a civil war though. It isn’t “pedantic” you just don’t know the definition of a civil war.
Aeao@lemmy.world 5 hours ago
The definition you are talking about can’t happen anymore.
You can’t have a states vs states civil because it’s house vs house now. This is the modern world it isn’t like the past. This isn’t “farms in the south have slaves so we fight the south.”
It’ll be more “I always hated Paul from next doors view on immigration and now the day we go kill him” except every house. Nationwide.
So I get what your saying but I feel it’s you who should reconsider definitions
Webster is my favorite
Pedantic: disapproving relating to, or being a pendant (as in being overly concerned with minor details) overly scholarly.
It doesn’t mean your stupid it means the detail your hung up on is minor one and it’s not in the definition of a civil war: a war between opposing groups of citizens of the same country. It says nothing about regions or travel. It brother fighting brother. That’s a civil war.
