I’m really confused about the new movie trailer for the leftist insurgency fantasy flick “Civil War” because it seems to think that the military guy who is hassling journalists with his M4 is the bad guy. I must have got that wrong. Clearly, whoever is opposed to the regime media is the hero, right? Maybe his weird, red Elton John glasses are supposed to signal to me that he’s evil, but I’m just not seeing it. At one point, one of the reporters tells him they are Americans and he asks, “What kind of American?” Frankly, that seems like a pretty good question.
After all, I was told by the desiccated, corrupt, old pervert who Alex Garland – the guy who made this piece of crap movie – a undoubtedly supported, there are a two kinds of Americans. There are good, upstanding, woke Americans who buy into all the communist garbage, and there are normal people who he calls “MAGA extremists” who are bad and scary insurrectionists and hate our democracy and are also racist and transphobic and everything else that is bad. They also cause inflation and climate change. These people should be shamed, persecuted and hounded from society, disenfranchised, disarmed, and, according to this movie, shot. So, the “What kind of American are you?” thing is not going to shock us because it is already happening, and here’s the punchline – if you’re reading this, you’re probably the bad kind of American, according to the Hollywood jerks and our senile, evil president.
The movie doesn’t really make clear what’s going on in its scenario, and to the extent it does, the scenario is pretty stupid. Apparently, there’s a president who likes God, so that your subtle hint that he’s the bad kind of American. He’s on his third term in office, which it meant to be an issue, which is weird because I was informed that the Constitution that bars three terms is an evil document of oppression designed by dead white male slaveholders, but apparently it’s a good thing today. Maybe I just haven’t got my daily Constitution status memo. There was nothing in the trailer about prosecuting your political enemies on trumped–up charges, but I’m assuming that’s a good thing until it stops being a good thing when applied to Democrats.
Also, hilariously, the insurgency appears to involve some sort of conglomeration of Texas and California. The movie was written by someone associated with Hollywood, so I’m pretty sure he’s never been to Texas and doesn’t know much about it. Let’s just say it doesn’t have a lot in common with the formerly Golden State. I’m not seeing Texas and California forming any kind of military alliance except maybe to declare war on New Jersey.
There’s a lot of this kind of insurrection onanism going on with the left lately, starting with the idea that the minor brawl on January 6 was an insurrection. Lately, we’ve been informed that Donald Trump is going to become a dictator and start some sort of civil war if he wins reelection, which appears slightly more likely than it was thanks to the predictable total failure of the Biden administration. I’m not sure why or how he would start one. Is he going to provoke a bunch of Chardonnay-addled cat women to take up arms and march upon our capital in their muumuus and Lululemons?
Not seeing it. There’s a significant problem that the American left faces. They don’t have any guns. They’ve spent so long hating on the Americans who do that the Americans who do have tripled down. October 2023 was one of the top months ever in gun sales, which is a beacon of hope in this dark night of Democrat misery. But Dems aren’t the ones buying the guns. I’ve been to a gun store recently. I did not see a lot of hipsters, Palesimpians, wokeoids, or obnoxious Volvo-driving wine women. Instead, I saw a lot of guys who look like they can do a push-up. That’s not exactly the leftist demographic.
Now, I have a little bit of experience with writing bestselling novels about civil strife within the United States and the breakup of our union. My “People’s Republic” conservative action novel series, of which there are eight incredible books, has a much more plausible scenario. The basis of my novel is not so much that there’s a major civil war (initially) but that after some fighting and some conflict there is a negotiated settlement to split the country in red and blue parts. And while I think that’s unlikely, and while I think that’s bad as well, it’s a lot more plausible than Bull Run II.
Actually, there was already a Bull Run II, but you get my drift.
The trailer is cheap–looking, with fake explosions and lots of shots of CGI helicopters or some Humvees driving along, or maybe one tank. It certainly doesn’t look like the Army conducting an operation. I’m not sure whether that’s a function of a low budget or of a misunderstanding of how the military works. Sadly, Hollywood’s ignorance is shared by a number of fairly senior members of the alleged administration, including Hunter’s business partner, who always blab about how 100 million normal Americans with AR15s couldn’t take on 2 million troops. The thing is, the military is not squads of four guys running around with their tactical rifles with lights on the barrels. The American military is a giant, lumbering system. Those guys with the guns who look so cool, kicking–in doors and going upstairs with their little laser pointers, are simply the tip of a very long and fat spear of support systems. There’s never just a few helicopters or tanks. There are a bunch of helicopters or a bunch of tanks, and they’re backed up by a bunch of artillery systems, communication systems, electronic warfare systems, maintenance systems, logistical systems, medical systems, personnel systems, other systems, additional systems, and more systems. The military is a system of systems. It’s not a small group of guys with neat-o rifles.
And that’s why turning the military on Americans is a real challenge. It’s not just that the military is outnumbered, by like 50 to 1, though that’s pretty damn important. It’s that for the military to work, the system of systems has to work. And if the Democrats provoke a Second Civil War, a lot of the human cogs in the green machine are going to hightail it over the hill, maybe after capping their regime-loyal officers. If you’re ever on Twitter/X, you’ve doubtlessly seen those dumb memes of a bunch of hefty rural-looking American stereotypes counterposed against a bunch of SEALs, with a smug tagline to the effect of these dudes can’t take on the studs. Leaving the substantive point aside, because quantity has a quality all its own, there’s another problem with this lefty oppression fantasy. Where do you think those studs came from? Those hillbillies and rednecks are the moms and dads and brothers and sisters of those guys with all the high-speed, low-drag combat gear. Yeah, a lot of our senior officers would murder Americans if ordered to do so – and that disgusts me to have to say, but it’s the truth, so I’ll say it. Yet, our normal military members are probably not going to be so excited about being used as tools to kill the people who raised them, or who they grew up around, for the crimes of dissenting and misgendering. And that’s not even addressing the fact that the military’s been hollowed–out by the gross incompetence of a military leadership that hasn’t won a war in three decades, as well as its embrace of every bizarre social pathology that sends a tingle down collective legs of all those diversity hire college presidents out there.
So, all this furious Jeffrey Toobining about civil wars and authoritarian dictatorship, and all that crap coming out of Hollywood and the regime media is just dumb. And so is the idea of a civil war, which would not work out so good for anyone, especially for the left. There is a better idea. It’s called following the Constitution, and not just when it’s convenient but all the time.
Could be like the chaos of civil wars during the Dark Ages.
Leftists for the most part do not have guns.
BUT………they control a DEEP STATE of government thugs with lots of guns.
DEMS can cut off your military pension.
DEMS can cut off your Social Security.
DEMS can erase your Medicare/Medicaid………etc. etc.
The FBI, IRS, ATF, DHS, EPA etc. have bought millions of rounds of ammunition in recent years.
Why is the Dept. of Education buying military rifles?
The leviathan nightmare apparatus of the US government will soon be coming down of decent US citizens like a ton of bricks.
Should we fight it?(and I use the word fight in the LITERAL sense)?
I believe we should………….but we better be clear on something.
A lot of us are not gonna survive it.
Hey Kurt………….maybe you should take off the rose colored glasses.
Those government agencies with guns are scattered in small numbers across the country. Police and sheriffs are everywhere, and few of them would murder their neighbors.
The Dirtbagocrats and their left-wing supporters would have no chance in a shooting war, and no chance of getting enough food supplied to avoid cannibalism and starvation.
And our combat elites in the military swore oaths to protect America, not destroy it and murder Americans.
Tell that to Woke Milley and afro-Austin.
It may not be as obvious or large as with the military, but those agencies are also “systems of systems”, as Kurt puts it.
Those agents also have families. Will they be so eager to act as a government paramilitary force when it may mean pain up to and possibly including death for their loved ones?
To be clear, I do NOT want an actual civil war, but as the article says the left has a fantasy of ACW #2 that has little bearing on reality. It won’t be troops lining up to shoot at each other in defined battles with whole states fighting other states,, but more like 1980s downtown Beirut spread out all over the place. Look at county level election maps, not state maps, for a somewhat more accurate breakdown of potential battle zones.
I do believe the Bolshevik trash that run the military would love to kill their way to dictatorship. But don’t be arrogant about the left, they have won far more than they should have thus far. It is VERY dangerous to underestimate your enemies as they have proven many times.
He writes good books too. Fascinating reading.
A few years ago, on a semi-private Sci-Fi forum, I wrote about just how easy it would be for small teams with pickup’s and rifle’s to render a modern city, like Chicago or New York or Las Vegas or Las Angles uninhabitable for a couple years…
Those places are just full of leftists.
—
And as I mention over and over your fantasy of NY filled with leftists is dead wrong, Millions of patriots live right in NYC which is huge with neighborhoods far bigger
than other cities and then outside of the city the counties vote 50 to 95 % R. Yes, theres vote fraud.
Let’s set the questionable US military aside Any such conflict would be not so much a race war but a conflict between working people with families and those young and unemployed in the usual sense or illegal aliens. That is formidable considering so many battle age males have recently entered the country. And maybe thats why they have been allowed in – to fight us? IDK
No one patriotic has the stomach for bloodshed. But how much can people take? The latest ballon they floated was “We will just kill Jews” But most know thats not true.
Beware the wrath of a patient man.
Read Kipling’s “The Beginnings” – “when the English began to hate”. Maybe it will sink in to the sleeping masses…
Now with all this discussion of an ARMY – WHOSE ARMY?? Think of all the MILLIONS of MILITARY AGE MEN who have waltzed into Our Nation – WHY?? Who’s funding them? Oh yeah – WE ARE! Just think if those millions are nothing more than secret ARMIES being assembled around Our Nation! NOW you not only have to fight the DEMOcrats, but their FOREIGN ARMIES! Don’t think for a second that all those young CHINESE men are coming here to chop suey and stir fry!! We don’t know WHO got on those planes out of Afghanistan and for sure don’t know just how INSANE all those “mid-easterners” are! One thing I’m sure of though. Decent AMERICANS will do all they can to preserve Our Nation. When/IF it comes down and all those ebt’s don’t get refilled the major DEMOcrat cities will be unlivable! It’s terribly sad to think that a group of people – INSANE PEOPLE – can do this to a Nation like OURS!
Obama states that we need a force as. Strong as the military
Government agencies stockpile guns and ammo. For who?
Millions of single military age men enter the country with the aid of this regime.
Conspiracy theory?
Wait until they find out that all those males of military age turn out to be the most cowardly soldiers imaginable.
When the economy crashes, all those govt. hand-outs of our tax money stops anyway. Who thinks all those gov. agency people will know how to even load those guns or not shoot themselves? But, all those military aged men is a different problem. Their probably who all those agency guns and ammo are for.
This narrative that the military would not turn on their fellow countrymen, if so ordered, is just as much a fiction from the Right as those which come from the Left. Same with the parallel narrative about the police, or the federal LE apparatus. Some won’t. Most will.
They are not as much ideological as they are subject to command, and who currently commands them? Add to that the purges that have been ongoing since Obama, and you have an entity that is very much the tool of the state and not a servant of the people.
People in the military and local law enforcement would be much more likely to turn on their leaders than America.
One scenario Kurt left out. What happens if the 2024 election is stolen like in 2020? Maybe then civil war decides the winner. Wouldn’t be surprised.
YOUNG SHELDON is a lot fairer to Texas.
The Left has no faith tha the military would do its bidding, that’s why those 87,000 new IRS agents will all get weapons.
Read the story of the 3% by Mike Vanderboegh …….rest his soul.
Got to learn how to fight in the dark and what are the meaningful targets.
Once begun, it will last for years.
There will be no one with the moral authority to end it.
III/0317
Civil War could be more like the Dark Ages civil wars than the American Civil War of the 1860s. Many separate conflicts. One state vs another state, one region vs another region, one county vs another county, with would be leaders trying to establish their own power.
the fact that any one who was in the vicinity of the j6 crowd was arrested at gunpoint by swat and the FBI in their homes with children in their midst and threatened with laser points tells you all you need to know as to how you will be treated by the state . americans are armed to the teeth to combat tyranny which they have been subjected to for years but it hasn’t made any difference to americans freedom . what will it take for the people to rise up against their robber barons ?? ruby ridge and thomas caldwell are just a few of the appalling cases of what the govt. will do to you if you don’t toe the line . and if you’re neighbour doesn’t dob you in the banks will because they betrayed their customers by providing info as to who was in the j6 area on the day by credit card use to the FBI . all thanks to the cadaver in the white house who thinks he is the president .
Long range snipers with night vision can take out the government leadership in days. There are people out there that can hit your skull from a mile away. But Biden wants us to worry about jet fighters, ya right, we were in Afghanistan for 20 years? There are millions of deer hunting hillbillies in America. The military won’t have a chance, not a prayer in hell.
I think when all these uninvited and unverified aliens start robbing people and burglarizing homes, these good leftist folks are going to be surprised just how ineffective their beloved police and grandads old shotgun and 38 revolver are going to be. . .
Much less those pesky conservatives who own AR-15’s, M1A’s and other offensive weapons are going to be.
