The left’s rhetoric seems to be getting more and more violent. They’ve quickly gone from excusing violent behavior to demanding it. People are getting more stirred up by the day and they seem to have a unified, albeit false, cause.
Does anyone think we may be close to an actual civil war? Is it possible that a leftist rebel army could organize from these riots and attempt an armed takeover of this country? Or are they still too cowardly?
No. Not even close.
I think a Silent Revolution is more plausible than a violent one, and I doubt it would stem from the Baltimore event.
However the Jade Helm exercise does raise some questions.
You honestly can’t be serious.
It’s shit like this that give us gun owners a bad name.
Wake up man.
King riots were closer than this. Lot of actual back and forth shooting and some serious “under occupation” areas. The difference now is a greater number of retards on facebook saying incredibly racist things.
A couple days here and there of hoodlums taking advantage of situations by looting sneakers and booze is a LONG way away from civil war. Like a really, really, really LONG way.
Have we already run out of other impending dooms? Is the ebola thing over? I’m so out of the loop on these things. 
Whoa, I’m not saying lock and load right now. I’ve just not seen such constant unrest in this country in my lifetime and I’m wondering if it’s a sign that things are about to get even worse.
That may be true, but you have to account for media sensationalism as well. Realistically, all of the “riots” we’ve had in recent years combined still don’t even add up to your average post-game soccer (or futbol or whatever) celebration in some countries. Is there an agenda to the media’s exaggerated coveraging and pushing of the issues? I think so. But I think it has more to do with selling ads and persuading voters than anything.
Just as these things seemed to get worse with the election of Obama, a change in Presidency can change things for better or worse. We’ve seen this sort of thing from time to time, but the difference is these riots are not only tolerated but sanctioned and endorsed by government. It’s one of the few “actual changes” that comes with a change in office.
Hopefully we will get a real President in 2016.
I am curious as to how old you are? Not to discount your opinion, just to put some context on it. In the 60’s we had protests and riots just as bad or worse than than anything that’s happen in the last 12 months.
:rolleyes:
.
1,200 SOF couldn’t take over Texas. 12,000 SOF couldn’t do it either.
Infowars is just doing what it always does and trying to scare its viewers to keep them glued to their own media.
Daily Mail is a tabloid.
“In your lifetime”
Well how old are you?
Times really aren’t any more tumultuous than any other decade - same shit different asshole. Everything is just that much more visible due to technology.
Get out and travel the world - you will quickly realize how good we have it. No other country enjoys the range of freedoms we do.
I’m not actually sure if there is even a time period in our country’s history I’d rather live in.
And therein is the problem. You obviously weren’t around in the 60s and 70s. It was way worse. Do your research.
Yes. And experts agree, it will be East v West this time. Per US Civil War rules, however, only wool uniforms can be worn. It will be itchy, but damnit, it will be hipster!
Seriously though, log off infowars and go outside…
How much 22 and 855 have you hoarded?
I’m 29. The worst I’ve been around for before this, as far as I can remember, were the Rodney King riots.
^^This X1000^^ there is still no place like the USA. Travel and draw your own conclusions.
Exactly.
The difference is back then we had one newspaper and one hour of TV news daily, while today we have thousands of people telling us how horrible things are 24/7.
Pre-Internet it was also extremely difficult for the idiots to find an outlet for their febrile rants. Now…not so much.
