  • Part one of the 2017 discussion about forecasting the next American CIvil War. I personally think it is less likely than likely, but here discuss why it is not to be totally dismissed as a possibility.

    The Millennials in my area are having a hard time finding gainful employment while still being able to afford to live on their own, not to mention paying off college debt and starting a family. However, at least with the Millennials I've encountered, they often blur the lines between luxury and necessity spending in trying to keep up with the Jones's.

    It's always good to hear your take.

    You touched on something that I think dooms all major cities. Every baby born today has something like 66,000 in Federal Debt. However, people who live in major cities take on extra debt for pensions and building bonds. Moving removes the city debt and I think that is driving people out of the cities.

    "The True Believer" by Eric Hoffer explains how people can change from one flag to another.

    I agree with the "who is going to pay for it?" Realistically, it's potentially China or Russia - but especially China has a lot to lose by funding radicals here. Russia, meanwhile, could happen but it's a long shot. Political radicals are in two camps: nationalists and anti-capitalists; and the anti-capitalists for the most part reject guns. If there was a movement of race-based nationalism (i.e., BLM become more like BLA), it would be different. But I don't see that, the New BPP has been very marginalized, probably deeply infiltrated.
    One topic you didn't address would be the US government (or factions of the elite) paying for a false-flag to jump start an armed revolt. It wouldn't be a sustainable civil war, and that topic is beyond the scope of this video, but it's a tactic that can be exploited when political tensions are high.
    It's funny, the topic of surveillance has been covered in radical communities (especially in Portland by authors like K. Williams) and yet the lessons have never been learned. Now people organize on facebook, so basically any natural political leader is already identified. Look at the Portland Resistance leader who was scooped up off the street. Fusion Centers across the country are carefully watching and categorizing movements and leaders. The moment groups get militant the leaders will be rounded up. Rather than moving closer toward security-centric thinking, activists are moving away from it.
    I think your analysis on millennials is very accurate. I'm an older millennial, about the only folks who are gun owners are military veterans, and they tend to lean very libertarian. They're not getting on board with a militant socialist movement. Militancy among non-veterans often involves expressing indignation toward riot cops as if they're the manifestation of their neglecting parents. Not like the Sanders crowd are going to pick up arms any time soon.

      You mean at the ghost ship?

      ghost ship america and ghost yacht europe
      major sticking point is that they insist on the moral right to invite all of the world onto the ship. there's no room. and they're ballast themselves

      No, I was referring to the ghost ship fire in Oakland last November. The people were paying upwards of $600 a month and there was a lot of talk of occult activity. Not all of the residents were involved but there was a lot of talk of charging the absentee landlord and the property manager with negligent homicide, and an ongoing investigation into the question of whether or not the firetrap was an intentional situation meant to facilitate a death ritual because just a week prior was an "art show performance" involving a sexualized stage performance "celebrating" death and fire.
