A phrase I heard 20 years ago that stuck with me about people who want to move to the woods if things get bad: “if you aren’t already prepared, it’s too late.”
I hope they were wrong. They probably weren’t, though.
In 2014, the Ukrainian army was fucked. It took 8 years of being occupied for them to “get ready.” They built up and prepared and had the backing of the EU to do so.
Both aides are. In the entire western world, we live a life of luxury and comfort. There is real hunger and poverty, right beside uber eats delivery and people paying for consuming just to document it online.
In order to be able to read and replicate a journal article you really need an advanced degree or to do all the work it takes to get one. That demographic skews fairly heavily in one direction. Masami Tsuchiya only had a master’s degree and he built an entire functioning chemical weapons factory on a fairly limited budget. That was way back in the 90s too. The worst things you could do now are 10x easier and could wipe out millions or billions.
Cool. Do you have one at the ready? Are you able to find one if you don’t when stores are closed down? When was the last time you saw a pitchfork at the hardware store?
If you’re in a rural area, you’ll be more likely to respond with, “Last week,” but when shit goes down, it won’t be in the 'burbs or in the country. That’s where it’ll end up, though.
Do you want a civil war? Because this is how you get a civil war.
The only people willing to do civil war in a meaningful number are being pardoned for j6.
I’ve said this 100 times. Our side is woefully unprepared and unskilled in this area.
Time to get busy.

Sun Tzu said the battle is won or lost off the field. Every victor was delulu just enough to win.
“Delulu” is a great word.
The people of Ukraine were woefully unprepared a few years ago as well. People learn quick with the right motivation.

Your comparison is not sound.

War is more than shooting guns. Taking down grids and disrupting supply lines are all effective.
I thought Russia would take Ukraine in 3 days. Russia might have a bigger army, but a bigger stick doesn’t mean bigger brain.
I’ve never read the instructions for how to use a pitchfork yet I feel completely qualified to use one.

Fuck yeah I want a civil war
