I watched this last night. It is a bit long, but he makes numerous good points, particularly on how diversity is NOT our strength, but is rather one of the largest contributors to our division. Points out that the divides between the states are growing very quickly as people move..... essentially voting with their feet.

Points out that everyone on the left screaming about the illegitimate use of military to enforce federal law ignores when Eisenhower (Little Rock) and Kennedy (Old Miss) used troops to enforce federal law before. Kennedy used 31,000 troops to protect and enforce the rights of 1 civilian!

Has Nick Sortor on who goes through everything that has happened to him over the last week or so as well.

This is worth your time:

If I had a dollar for every single time someone has claimed that CW2 was imminent, I could have retired years ago.

And people who actually want a civil war have no clue what they're wishing for.

It will not be one army vs. another.

It would be a widespread guerrilla war with citizen against citizen that would make The Troubles look like a backyard brawl.

Kind of like all the proclamations of imminent economic recession or depression?

There won't be a war for at least 20-30 years, if ever (over these sets of issues). What we will see instead is a continuing balkanization of the states and fringe violence.

Maybe something will happen to reverse the trend - but I doubt it.

It COULD get worse - but that will require some trigger event - generally something economic in nature that just makes everyone much more miserable than they already are. Nothing like a crap economy to get people in the mood to kill.

Things are much better in the USA now than they have been for most of our history.

from 1860-1880 the entire country was devastated by a vicious war which killed up to 20% of the Southern men in certain jurisdictions.

it took an entire generation to rebuild burnt cities, farms, plantations as well as the economic dislocation from freedom of the slaves.

now Trump will likely be at 53% approval after the Middle East Peace Deal!

We have a lot of talking, bargaining, negotiation, etc. to do before anyone resorts to widespread violence as the only resolution. There is far too much for everyone to lose. Our more immediate problem is neither side seems to understand the implications of the exponential function in regards to debt and government policy and how economically painful a currency revaluation collapse and reset would be.

For over four centuries our people have assimilated from diverse racial, ethnic, and religious traditions to create a nation full of prosperity and opportunity. Tucker is pimping replacement theory nonsense. Gotta keep that geriatric gold-hoarding demographic on their toes.

I think it is more likely that we break off into separate countries before we have a civil war.

I wouldn't be surprised, either, if rural Californians go guerilla on the big cities and take them over.

while i do not believe a civil war in the historical context is plausible i would not be so dismissive as some of you are stating. if you know your history you know that the civil war was cold for approximately 3 decades before it actually started. it was brewing/ simmering. the point is just because people have spoken abkut it for a few years and it hasn't happened yet doesn't mean it can't or won't. it means these things don't happen over night they build to a crescendo.

Tucker has really changed. I guess being loaded with money and being your own boss can do that to a person.

Maybe he hasn't changed so much as he can now show his true self and not what he needed to to get his paychecks back in the day?

Balkanizing? I mean, we have one precedent so far here in the US. Which led directly to the ACW.

I don't think it's truly feasible as we sit now. We are farrrr to intermixed to have any sort of true divide on state lines. As mentioned above, if anything were to happen it would be true block by block division and fighting IMO. Which is about as worst case as I can think of.

Could be.

When Tucker and Tim Pool are fighting over the same audience....

Considering Tucker's father was involved with the CIA, and he admits that finally...I would assume he also is an intelligence agent at this point.

So that makes me wonder the reasoning behind putting this "civil war is imminent" message out there.

This.

I think we have far more in common with people that vote differently, and even share different values than us, than we do with politicians or political influencers/pundits.

The guy down the street with the Bernie bumper sticker, and the guy up the street wearing a MAGA hat both want a roof that doesn't leak, food in the fridge, safety/security for their family & themselves etc.

The last thing on the planet I want to do is go to war, and put my beliefs to the side, to murder other human beings...but I would if I had no other choice.

Nobody should ever want that. Things are not anywhere near that bad.

---

What do you do when that 'nice' Bernie guy down the street wants to have your kids kidnapped by the state for not affirming LGBTQ ideology OR he wants them taken from you because you wont give them a COVID clot shot ?

The Bernie guy down the street, tbh, is NOT nice. He's a friggin communist who would have you shot to advance the collective. Or worse yet - make your kids pull the trigger.

---

What percentage of the population do you believe would actually want that?

Based on polls of the left a very large number of them. They are insane.

Tucker has some good moments but stuff like this is just sensationalism meant to drive clicks.

I don't know man...listening to Nick Fuentes on Dave Smith podcast yesterday, they both made some really good points as to why they think some type of true political unrest is more likely than us all coming together and just agreeing to disagree...or agreeing on any type of comon goal or vision.

And it is largely demographic, and the demographic changes were FORCED ONTO US. INTENTIONALLY.

Essentially, "you are going to have an unrecognizable America, and your children will inherit a completely unrecognizable America from the one you were so fortunate to enjoy". It is going to be a brown one, with everyone putting their own competing self interests above all others....and it is going to be A-OK to hate whites, especially white males. Gen Z ain't havin it though....and it could very well lead to chaos.

I don't have a racist bone in my body, but I look around at what Houston has become on an almost daily basis, and it is sad. The place was awesome in the 80's and 90's. Now it's like little Mogadishu.

If you went to Italy or Korea and told them, over the next 10-15 years, we are going to ABSOLUTELY FLOOD your country with third world migrants/french people/Muslims/whatever....NO ONE IN THEIR RIGHT MINDS WOULD VOTE FOR THAT. And that doesn't make them "racist" or "bigoted". It makes them just normal, smart humans.

Well, I am confident I am on the winning side of any said civil war.....

What I would do to live on 100 acres in Texas with no property taxes.

Another US civil war will never happen. Ever. People simply don't care enough.
People love to talk behind a keyboard but not many will take action. Kinda like talk of Texas seceding. Won't happen.

Tucker also told me last year we were on the verge of ww3,

We hate each other more, and are mor divided ideologically than north and south soldiers were in the 1860's...but you are right, our lives are too comfortable.

It would take another great depression 2.0 for there to ever be any type of unrest or violence from the right. The left is constaqntly committing violence though, obviously. I guess they mistake our inaction for "weakness". No, we just have much more to lose.

most Americans are fat and attached to their iphone who exactly will be fighting this war>

The irony is there's a much simpler solution that would make both sides happy: return a lot of the powers that the federal government has usurped back to the states. That way, people can just move where they want, vote in whatever policies they think are best, and we can stop this "the sky is falling if the other side wins" nonsense that takes over our country every 4 years. Let the best ideas win...almost as if some old dudes thought about this 240-something years ago....
