Is a full on collapse or civil war realistic in the near future for the US? (lemmygrad.ml)

I’ve listened to the Poor Proles Almanac and they’re basically left-unity (anarchist) preppers. Their information is probably useful either way, though. I just started listening to It Could Happen Here, and the first episode is pretty cringe. Robert Evans is anti-Assad and thinks a Syrian civil war type scenario could happen here. He praises maidan coup fascist protesters (without mentioning their fascism or US backing). And of course, he thinks a collapse could be soon in 2019 and a lot of crazy stuff has happened since, but no civil war. I’ll keep listening critically to see if he has anything decent to say, but not looking good. As the empire crumbles and climate change gets worse is a collapse scenario realistic?

I agree with this assessment. I don’t think any of the anarchists talk about empire or dedollarization. I also think it’s telling Robert Evans never talks about intelligence whether in OKC or the Arab spring (I doubt he’s even heard of PatCon). As the saying goes, there will never be a coup in the US because there are no US embassies there. Of course I already know how he works for bellingcat and works to divide whatever “left” we have here (anti-tankie rhetoric). He seems to think there will be fascist terrorism alongside an Occupy Wall Street type movement.

Yeah, Robert Evans is pretty suspect. I remember liking the initial "It Could Happen Here", though.

There's some interesting bits to it, but it's basically speculative fiction.

I wouldn't be surprised if do we see some armed clashes between the full-fash types and the colonized people they're trying to terrorize.
