    And I really don’t think it’ll be a civil war because there’s no defined fronts, it’d be all the cities being blockaded by all the surrounding rural areas.

    Lol no. If some sheriff tries to enforce a blockade on a major metropole they would be told to stand down and then either arrested or shot. This is a direct threat to capital interests

      Arrested or shot by who? I’d it gets to this point it’s gonna be the cops manning the barricades.

      The Canadian truckers managed to fuck up commerce for like three weeks and they didn’t even know what they were mad about.

          There is nothing I want more in this world to be true but if your hope is for the liberals to take up arms with the socialists and communists to violently oppose fascism history has a pretty depressing track record.

          If it plays out like every other time it’s gotten to that point liberals will absolutely start giving up anybody the chuds deem as undesirables as a bargaining chip they’ll ultimately get nothing for.

          But again I would like literally nothing more than to be wrong about this.

        The truckers were never a serious threat to capital, they were annoying and cost a lot of money. But the cost of bringing down the hammer on them was higher to the political class than the loss of money. A blockade of all the urban areas though? That’s war.

        And sure cops are gonna be reactionary, but cops have tried to aide with states and municipalities against the federal government before and they have literally never won that fight.
