    Man, the rhetoric this past week has really ratcheted up. These assclowns aren’t going to be happy when a civil war really breaks out. Seriously, nobody fucking wins a Civil War. Currency tanks, economy goes to shit, people die on both sides, and everybody is afraid to leave their houses in case there’s a firefight, or a bombing. That’s the America they are asking for right now.

      Correction: Powerful people win civil wars. You just know that pricks like Johnson won’t be out there fighting; they’ll stay in their comfortable mansions separated from the chaos by first-rate security details.

        Politicians hide themselves away

        they only started the war

        Why should they go out to fight?

        They leave that role to the poor

        One thing about people without empathy is that they actually literally don’t care about people who aren’t them, dying. It’s even worse when they are also believers in zero-sum theory, since then they also think they are better off when more people die.

        It’s not that they haven’t thought about how many people will die, they are actually looking forward to it, it’s the point.

        Maybe, people get dragged through the streets in civil wars. Nobody is safe during a civil war, as much as you would like to think.
