Who do you think will win in the coming civil war and why?
(discuss.online)
Everyone looses…
The billionaires
Nobody
Not the people fighting for what's right. America is spread too far out to properly gather any sort of a large enough force to do real fighting, unless you're the government with an already existing force spread across the entire country. And like with any civil war, both sides simultaneously lose and win since both sides are..ya know..technically the same. Infighting resulting in massive casualties only benefits other countries looking to take over that ego stroking title of "worlds strongest"
All that to say...nobody will win, we all lose.
Theres a simple thing people can do... just dont show up for work for weeks. The fat cats in wallstreet would be crying to appease the peasants.
Oh that’s so simple! Why didn’t we think of that!

You underestimate the desperation in this country and the lack of social support networks and the amount that that would devastate so many working class people within a week.
Let alone how difficult it is to organize that without interference or sabotage
Perfect. Even easier to convince people to fuck the grind and raid the groceries stores.
I really hope so.
More than half of US households are living paycheck to paycheck.
Not going to work = no money = no food, no home.
Not going to work = that's not gonna happen. People will continue to keep their heads down. "First they came for..."
I remember when I still lived at my parent's house.
Honestly, I'd love to see how our government would handle that.

Nothing has calmed me more this weekend than the knowledge of the coming climate death of the planet.
Entropy will win eventually
none - Russia will profit from it though
How so?
in terms of geopolitical influence. The U.S. would be too busy tearing itself apart to engage in NATO, support Ukraine, or keep sanctions tight. That gives Russia more space to mess around in Eastern Europe, flex in the Middle East or Africa, and push the whole “see, democracy and capitalism is a mess” idea. Most of NATO is currently struggling to become independent from the USA, but they aren't yet.
Total chaos in the USA = strategic win for Russia
Eh, Ukraine has pretty much ripped the mask off of Russia and shown the world just how weak it is, militarily. China I'd say is who will fill the vacuum left by the decline of the US hegemony
Love wins
Not happening
