      Yeah, that’s a super loose definition of war. This is one of those things that you wouldn’t even know until after the fact anyway. Way too many people are eager for a civil war while very obviously not understanding what all that entails.

    But it’s failing.
    It’s China who profits the most.

      He said there will be no further elections. There are no elections during martial law. Besides, martial law wastly expands his powers.

      Wouldn’t be surpriced if that was the plan all along.

    By this standard the US civil war began no later than 1787, when the 3/5th and grand compromises.were necessary to get both factions to agree to the new constitution.

    There’s a reason why we don’t call the “three score and thirteen” years between the conference in Philadelphia and the attack on fort Sumter a “war”.

    Maybe, maybe that would be true after 10-15 massacres and the third cancelled election… Maybe.

      and the third cancelled election

      Does that mean you think the 1860’s thing didn’t count as a war either? Because AFAIK, elections were never cancelled.

        It only means that I think americans have become so docile, they will do anything but act.

          If only you were American, you could magically take care of the vast number of challenges with whatever violence you think should be happening.

          Bro, fucking what??? Have you not seen the mass protests, mass strikes, walkouts, mutual aid networks popping up, increasing pressure on elected officials, mass counter-surveillance, etc??? TF you mean Americans “won’t” act when it’s already fucking happening? Or are you one of those edgelords that thinks open armed rebellion is the only real form of action? You legitimately might be online way too much. Go outside, spend some time in the real world.
