Are we headed for civil war? Is that just an alarmist fantasy? I heard my neighbor say we were headed for civil war and I didn't really take her seriously. Then I've been hearing it more and noticing what seems to be a rise in political violence and the left turning against free speech and working to eradicate our freedom to think as individuals.
That being said, I can't stand the democrats or the republicans. I think they're both crazy and we're screwed either way. And if the civil war breaks out and it's between these groups, I figure stand back and let them both destroy each other. I'm against both of them but I'm glad they both oppose each other because I don't want either side to become too powerful.
Anyways, if you haven't broken out your crystal bear and purple turban yet, this is the time to do so. Where do you think the US is heading?
And for you boring, flavorless people who are gonna be like "You're dumb- no one really knows"- yeah of course but it's fun to speculate and if anyone turns out to be right, they'll have some cool lil bragging rights and receive an invisible trophy in the invisible mail with my invisible signature- made of pure invisible gold.
My theory is this year will actually be way more mellow than expected. Things seem to get crazy in the summer. Then next year... ehh. But at some point, things will have to hit the fan. All this craziness, I think, is building up to something. Fortunately for me, the country doesn't care about me so I won't have any moral obligation to do anything but chill in my house and smoke weed and listen to Pink Floyd if things pop off. The world might burn but I'll buy some meat and use the burning world's flames to cook the meat. I expect it will taste like suffering, lost innocence and deliciousness. Plus I really like this seasoning I just started using.

Civil war, doubtful. In my opinion we are seeing the rise of trans-national movements that supersede borders. Groups of people within countries seem to be linking up by internet and social media. So the younger generation has a sense of unity and one world thinking; probably in preparation for a one-world government / religion. Spirituality is on the rise as well, same with drugs.
We are likely witnessing the beginning clash between nations attempting to hold onto their sovereignty, while general citizenry are aiming to unite together as one people. But I do think the United States is exceptional in the way of Libertarians and Constitutionalist types; although that group is increasingly hijacked by anarcho-capitalist groups doing cryptography and crypto-currency. All in all it seems there are too many moving parts or small factions to be making any meaningful predictions. I'm not sure any of the smaller factions could ascertain enough momentum to move if into a civil war. There is the Left, Alt Right and Conservatives; but very large amounts of apathetic people in between. I don't think there is any cause for civil war.
Most likely the powers that be will use the various factions to nudge agendas forward and slowly build up a world government that spans all nations, more so than the UN. The United States will likely hum along and still steadily spend itself into debt until the USD is finally dead, where a new currency can be established. I personally think the US has to be destroyed or the USD dethroned in order for a world government to be installed. But I have no idea, this is all guesswork. To me, the incoming generation seems to care very little about individuality; they are almost all collectivists in one way of thinking or some other. That's why all these small factions or movements, doesn't matter: each is just an option to push the main agenda forward.
Who knows. I'm gonna go eat ice cream.
