13186546, Whats next?: A 9/11 or worse type if disaster? Civil War? Posted by DavidHasselhoff, Fri Aug-18-17 05:54 PM
I feel like thats what we're being prepped for or the only thing that will redirect our attention, because at this rate its not getting better on its own. Random thought in my head, thats all.

13186549, Katrina 2 Posted by MEAT, Fri Aug-18-17 06:06 PM
Natural weather disasters have done worse damage to this country than most things. With more extreme weather conditions and fewer government employees and worse leadership. Weather will be the next disaster.

13186552, Ain't finna be no Civil War. Posted by IkeMoses, Fri Aug-18-17 06:11 PM
White folks is winning, why they gonna start a Civil War?
Nobody else is going to start a Civil War.

13186559, Civil war isn't / wasn't about black folks but about money Posted by Atillah Moor, Fri Aug-18-17 06:37 PM
So something closer to or exactly like what Malcolm X said the "haves vs have nots" is something I could see
|
13186570, The point is the haves still have Posted by IkeMoses, Fri Aug-18-17 07:14 PM
And the have-nots continue to have not.
This is the status quo. Ain't no war when the status quo remains the status quo.
The actual Civil War started because white southerners saw that slavery, their livelihood, was going to eventually end by democratic means. The Republican Party and Abraham Lincoln and the threat of Western territories becoming free states meant a new status quo. So crackas got violent.
There is no equivalent to that today.
Unless you feel demographic change is going to bring the end of white supremacy by democratic means. That's the hope, but it's almost a half century away. As it is right now, white Americans ain't losing no power even as the demographics shift away from them.

13186573, automation will continue on it's merry way for the next decade Posted by Madvillain 626, Fri Aug-18-17 07:23 PM
when theres million of poor whites with no reliable source of income and them opiods aint enough to keep em sedate? they will pop off. but like i said, the government will enact some type of 21st century new deal to keep the wolves at bay
winter is coming.

13186575, universal basic income is mando otherwise we're headed for mad max Posted by IkeMoses, Fri Aug-18-17 07:30 PM
which is why all of silicon valley is campaigning for UBI already.
they know automation is going to make most people unemployed sooner than later. and they know they can't stay billionaires if there's riots in the streets and nobody alive to buy their goods and services.
and it ain't even about US jobs. automation is gonna destabilize places like China and India and the developing world before it hits us. it's a global issue, to the point where the idea of a Civil War here is small potatoes.

13186569, a charlottesville type thing with more than 10 dead Posted by Madvillain 626, Fri Aug-18-17 07:11 PM
that will happen again protestors will clash with nazis shit will get real, someone will start spraying.
There will be little pockets of pissed off white people ready to burn shit cuz there aint no jobs and they never coming back. Military will be called to help because cops will be shook of militias. Government will strongly consider Universal Basic Income to calm people down.
As said above, another big natural disaster is inevitable.

13188306, Massive earthquake in the Midwest. Posted by SoWhat, Thu Aug-24-17 05:15 PM
Significant parts of Missouri, Illinois, Arkansas, Indiana, Mississippi, Kentucky, and Tennessee destroyed. The New Madrid Fault is way overdue for it.
And/or massive quake in Washington State.
Those places are relatively unprepared. Bad mojo.

13188324, 9/11 type thing. Posted by denny, Thu Aug-24-17 06:27 PM
My biggest fear is an attack on America. If you're Isis or Al Quaeda or N korea....now would be the most effective time to cash in any chips or opportunities or plans you've been saving. The time is ripe for anyone with an explicitly anti-American agenda.
In regards to the civil war stuff....I'm really scared. But there's also a part of me that thinks we might be witnessing the 'vaccination' effect. The losses of nationalist parties in Europe shortly after Trump's presidency began are surely part of this. And like I've said in a kabillion other posts....I think extreme elements of both the left and right are pushing alot of us back towards the center. Liberals like myself are being pushed back to the center of the horseshoe by the 'regressive left' and Conservatives are being pushed back to the center by the white identity politics. There's a new alliance between moderates on both sides. The civil unrest we're all witnessing is not right vs left. It's the alt-right/ctrl-left against moderates.
At least that's my hope during optimistic moments. I have to admit....I get pessimistic sometimes and the shit is a dark dark place. It hasn't affected my personal life in any measurable way....but I took Trump seriously before almost anyone else and without getting too melodramatic....it's like there's a sense of foreboding that I've been carrying around for just about a year now. It was the McCain statement about 'we like the vets that didn't get captured'. That's when it started for me. I think it's extremely important that he doesn't finish the term. Even if only by one day. It will be symbolically important. I can't help but get cliche here....but our society needs to heal. We've been damaged.
