A war between two sides of porky/two separate aspects of the deep state.

Between whom would this be fought? City liberals and recknecks? That would be pretty one sided.

How could there even be conditions set for a civil war in a modern developed economies? Unless the army would cannibalize itself(that would be highly unlikely) I don`t see this happening.

anyone who hasn't played this is missing out btw. I mean the game is pretty average but it's fun to tear the US apart.

Also DMZ is good.

I always thought the U.S. would descend into a bloody moshpit clusterfuck of multiple ideologies competing for power.

Liberals vs. Conservatives Vs. Libertarians vs. Leftists vs. Stormfags vs. Progressives/SocDems

Like humans vs orcs

Whats DMZ about?

That would be an accurate description of the propaganda of both sides.

Basically the old US and Free States are in the middle of a civil war which has stopped in New York (as well as in other areas I guess) with Manhattan Island as a DMZ between the two sides. A journalist ends up in the DMZ and reports on the people still trying to live there who can't get out of the city.

like liberals vs liberals

You mean like the Syrian Civil War at its beginnings?

It would be brief. War moves very quickly now, and, even given the vastness of the United States, I doubt that it would last more than a month. Guerillas will stick around afterward to die slowly and keep everything mired in shit for a while.

But wouldn't civil unrest be an opportunity for leftists to try and seize power?

Sounds right up my alle, thanks
I added it to my backlog, I will end up reading it in 10 years

Haha, I liked it anyway, it's pretty lefty/subversive from what I remember

the battle line, on a certain level, is between those who want this civilization to continue and those who want it all to come crashing down.

on another level, we need to note the differences between objective interest in society in terms of surplus value/wage labor, "false consciousness" (those who act against their 'objective interest'), and those who collaborate against their wishes

on the levels of false consciousness and collaborationism, the battle line is drawn through each of us individually.

as to how it plays out, heaven knows.

Wouldn't happen.

Porky dropping drone strikes.

Dunno man.

On the one hand, rich people don't make revolutions. On the other, they did start the American Revolution. On the other other, it was a kiddy revolution that just made the de facto rulers the official ones too.

The only other big civil conflict, the Civil War, like the Revolution, only happened because Porky was afraid to lose some properteeeeeeee.

So my guess is that the third big civil conflict will be started by the rich as well. And as it stands, things have never been better for them, so no, no civil strife for now.

deep state putches trump, trump supporters occupy washington d.c, various states secede, riots on the streets everywhere.
kinda like Strange Days but hopefully with a non-shit ending.
i wonder how much of the military and militarized police will fight on the deep state side. right now it seems they still blindly follow their orders so the generals and above can stuff their pockets with money.

Get ready to rumble Yankee faggots, ill see you at the battle of starbucks in Seattle where the neo confederacy steam rolls over hipsters that have never fired a gun

No, you won't get your obscene enjoyment, and war is not fun.

After that, who knows

Low level semi-larp street fights will gradually escalate to killings. It will be a slow boil

Many people who have been to war say its the most fun theyve ever had

There is this really funny pic from and old british newspaper of a letter some brit wrote about how he loved ww2, he got to ride a bike and shoot a jerry

Literally a 0.2% difference more than offset by the difference in population. Christ, abuse of statistics pisses me off.

New England free territory when

man i'm mostly just pissed by that color choice. that's not abuse of statistics that's straight up lies

Our increasingly disfunctional government leads to a split Electoral College due to a third party candidate getting just a couple EVs when things are really close anyway. With a trump 2.0 as the republican candidate the republican controlled house decides they'd rather have the gary johnson equivalent. Segments of the republican base refuse to recognize the new president instead occupying state capitals to declare themselves the actual state government recognizing the trump 2.0 as president. From there things start to spiral out of hand.

I think right wing libertarians will be responsible

Play Kaiserreich

Nobody I have ever known has said that, and I have known a lot of combat veterans who have participated in several different wars.

Those fuckwits will not do anything that the cops do not approve of.

Note that servicemen stationed in the South frequently apply for state citizenship there to avoid paying state income taxes back home. What you are seeing there is a tax dodge.

This. It would probably look something like Syria. You would have liberals and conservatives and fascists and even a few socialists. On top of that some states would no doubt secede and try to stay out of it or go their own way.

Our job would be to carve out a little Rojava of our own.
