That isn’t a civil war though. It isn’t “pedantic” you just don’t know the definition of a civil war.

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.

The only true segregation is wealth based, the last civil war had astoundingly clearly delineated lines and you still had brother killing brother. Modern war isn’t like that. It’s city by city with things totally calm 30 miles over. Moving like a cloud of death from community to community. Old grudges, family issues, bad neighbors, bad bosses, anything will get you killed.
Not a world i want to be in, no guarantee what this place looks like after, there isn’t a good guys win scenario, we’re in an oligarchy. Maybe it’s that shit Marx talked about, but i bet it’s Gilead.

Person calling someone else a pendant breaks out the dictionary definition of “pedantic” as the opening salvo of a multi paragraph hair splitting rant. This is the internet I signed up for.
