Agreed that the civil war and secession is fantasy LARPing cope. Although if you look at the integrity leaks they show our and NATO intelligence agencies/media/banking-corporation combine will stop at nothing to prevent Trump from getting into office. I do not think General Macgregor’s thesis is “cope” that there will not be an election in 2024, due to a false flag or engineered event.

What is MG talking about? The Supreme Court ruled in favor of Texas about their case regarding deporting illegals

Initially it was blocked before a 6-3 ruling in favor of Texas was released today.

Ahhh ok. that's strange they'd rule to block it for what, 24 hours before letting it through. Surely they'd have made their minds up on how to vote before then.

It was even dumber:

They said they’d rule by 5:00 PM yesterday, then they didn’t rule at 5, then they ruled at 6 that Texas couldn’t enforce their law, and then they said they could a day later.

I like the contemporary politics articles but that teaser about the lead up to the Civil War has me curious now. New article about the Civil War when?

The big problem I see is the fourth branch of government which intentionally hires (more and more) those who are ultra left leaning. DEI in government has been there a long time, and I think it has built up the federal government with a lot of zealots who will interpret rules and laws to fit their beliefs. They will hire who they know will toe the line. Even more and more of these zealots are coming into positions of power. Similar to how the population of the military seems to be shifting. At some point will the military be used inwardly against the American people (right wingers)?

I think you're right that any real "insurrection" would be put down immediately and used against the right for the next 50 years and the government will use this opportunity to gain a lot of power. I hope it doesn't happen.

How are you capable of resisting the blackpill?

“I know that I’m widely hated for my view that there is no civil war, National Divorce, or any kind of geopolitical shakeup or sustained irregular warfare (at least from the Right) coming. I am further hated for my assertion that in the extremely unlikely event that one of those bad things did occur, there is literally zero chance of it working out well for the American Right. I stand by both of those views.”

Despite what the county map shows, the cities would all be in control of the lefties when divvying up the nation. It would not look like how the right fantasizes

> I’ve already spoken about this (widely hated opinion btw) before, but the #1 thing that the American Right needs today is for a normal election to happen in November 2024. Keep Biden on the ballot. Nothing too crazy. Trump is winning decisively at the moment. He’s up in every poll and his numbers are higher than ever before. If the proper election integrity and voter turnout infrastructure is built by Republicans in time for the election, Trump can probably overcome the margin of fraud.

And if it turns out, as 2020 suggests, that there is no "margin of fraud", will you admit there is no political solution, or will you find some other excuse for inaction?

I don't think you are correct. I do not hate you, either. This issue of fighting/resisting/revolting comes down to costs and benefits. What do we have now to deter disrupting the entire system in the U.S. and, by proxy, the rest of the Western World? It's the following: The U.S. military, backed by the U.S. dollar, which floods the world with U.S. debt and has created the largest welfare system the world has ever seen. Paper currency printing is keeping all of these balls in the air. As long as the welfare system, dopamine hits, porn, endless foodless food and 'just-in-time' delivery are kept going through mass printing of currency, nothing will change because people have EVERYTHING to lose......since their lives are tethered to it. However, the U.S. is 35 Trillion in debt. Can we keep it going to 70 Trillion AND keep cycling up the degeneracy AND keep ramping up the anti-White agenda with no one doing anything? I don't think so One more thing, if I am left starving, on the run and hunted down and killed by those fuckers, I would rather go out like that. Like a man.

I will rest upon this:

Matt 10:38-39 'And he that taketh not his cross, and followeth after me, is not worthy of me. He that findeth his life shall lose it: and he that loseth his life for my sake shall find it.'

Partial mechanization (cotton gins) of the slave plantation system was generating fabulous amounts of wealth for the southern elite (descendants of some of the worst British aristocracy transplanted to Barbados).

Those southern elites had plans to expand to the Pacific and then invade Mexico and Central America to further extend the slave empire, probably allying with either the British or French empire depending on which commodity trades (cotton, tobacco) were the best deal.

An expanded, hyper wealthy, industrializing southern slave plantation empire would have seriously threatened the survival of northern politics and destroyed national unity.

---

The current situation is pretty [much] an inversion of the civil war. The "leftist", "woke" coastal elites, digital capitalists (media-tech oligarchs) and global finance, have the most money and power, and are the biggest threat to free speech and "democracy".

"Wokeism" has hegemonic influence because of techno-economic disruption of legacy hierarchies of curated expertise (see John Vervaeke, evolutionary psychologist, on the "crisis of meaning").

The modern nation state system (see Martin Van Creveld, 1990s) is similarly failing because of techno-economic disruption.

To return to a social system that is not dysfunctional ("woke") and corrupt (leftists and the Democratic party elites), high-social-trust has to be restored by ways of thinking and creating social institutions that are ANTI-FRAGILE to disruption.

As far as I can tell, there is very little if any ANTI-FRAGILE thinking on the "right", rather it is mainly heterodox liberals and centrists that are working on anti-fragile solutions (they are usually not hostile to allying with conservatives).

Excellent piece. I don’t follow the news anymore and stuff like this really keeps me in the loop. I’d disagree about our capability to win through violence, most combative military MOS and units are majority white and now overwhelmingly RW, I think it just takes the right Officer or General to organize and coordinate with a popular political movement and we can probably clean house in D.C., that alone would send most of the NY or LA scum with influence and power off to Israel or wherever they’re really from.

> Americans opposing federal overreach today are in a far worse position by virtually every objective measure.

Um, compare which states our industry was in back then with which states our industry is in today.
