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
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.
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.
Have a non Instagram link?
Sadly no. It’s a Black Panther (maybe the current chairman?) with a semi-auto shotgun making it clear what he intends to use it for.
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.
The War on Drugs is an ongoing genocide. We lose the equivalent amount of life to a war every year because of gun violence. Things are way worse than people realize
That’s not what a civil war is by definition
hit me up from the gulag when it meets your definitions, champ
You know you can still make your point but use the correct terminology

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 2 weeks 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 2 weeks 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.
