"Canadians may have gone in for wokeness in recent years, it is true, but there is the matter of their bloody-minded DNA. It was not that long ago that they harvested baby seals—the ones with the big, sad, adorable brown eyes—with short iron clubs. They love hockey, a sport that would have pleased the emperors and blood-crazed plebeians and patricians of ancient Rome if they could only have figured out how to build an ice rink in the Colosseum." 😅

Right now, the people that voted for him that are bent over, lubed up, and spreading their cheeks are starting to wonder if it was the right move. The blue states where everybody either wishes he'd be ended or are making up reasons why it'd be worse for him to be a martyr... We still have our rights because our states are cool... For now.

So, depending on how the red states take being ultra fucked and if trump tries to waggle his weird tiny rapist weiner over at our rights and systems here in blue states, could result in(tw rape):

  1. raping the red states and them liking it, and not touching blue states: no civil war.
  2. raping the red states and them liking it, and then coming for the blue states: possible civil war.
  3. raping the red states and them not liking it, and not touching the blue states: no civil war.
  4. raping the red states and them not liking it, and then coming for blue states: no civil war.

But since Trump is a true fascist and either a Nazi sympathizer or an outright Nazi, and so are a good portion of the red states' populations, it's kind've all up in the air right now. Which is why I said we're on the brink of one. Is Trump going to end up dead? Yes. Very high chance. Everybody around the world is hoping for it.

Now, is ww3 or a us civil war more likely to happen?

Well, right now, trump has invited his friends over and red is hogtied and having second thoughts. Blue is stuck in the room but doesn't want anything to do with him since we're pretty self sustaining in most regards, but unfortunately we still currently operate under the systems that trump has taken over.

Honestly, it's more likely that he continues to rape red, and then somebody else takes over while we're dealing with the bullshit for the next 50 years. Which is why I say we leave red with trump by forming cascadia, possibly join Canada, lead a sociopolitical insurgency against the then neutered usa, execute the traitors to human morality, and then not let shit like this happen again by not allowing the south to do whatever it wants with education and voting by having a true democracy but having standardized education and firing those who don't teach the proper curriculum.

Because teaching insane stuff like "religion" (religions are blatantly cults) in schools and "evolution is just a theory" is so bad for children that it's child abuse on par with anti-vaxxing. Rotting children's brains with delusions like "gay people are evil" or "trans people don't exist" is liked the equivalent of training cock fighting but in humans by psychological terror, and should be treated as such.

I'm all for allowing other worldviews to exist, but at this point, human religion is so far past being proven as absolute belligerent bullshit that I cannot in good faith allow it to exist. Peaceful people of religion are everywhere, but they are exceptions to the rule that religion is built to be hostile to other world views, and will all eventually vey for power and dominance. Fuck. Anti-birth control, family worldview inheritance, patriarchal structures, proselytizing? Secret organizations with heiarchy interpretation of the will of their leader? Come ON.

One of these world views is going to end up dominant, and regardless of how far into space humanity goes before dying, any existing religion made up by crackpot old fools trying to come up with grassroots power structures "for the people" IS NOT IT. And we see how much tension, pain, strife, and retardation of society occurs when religion is applied. Fascism is not it, religion is not it, dictatorship is not it.... We've got to keep on progressing, but in order to do so, we gotta pull the slowest parts of humanity with us, the ones dragging their feet and kicking and screaming. We need to feed them and take them outside to touch grass so they stop abusing their children in ad nauseum so that they can grow up to be healthy, supportive parents, strong enough to foster healthy happy children.

We are only mortal for now, so are we're stuck in this cycle. Can we at least make it not trash and strive for something better? I'm tired of reading posts by young queer teens in other countries who are terrified of their parents after coming out to them. I never, ever see follow up posts, and can only hope they all made it to the point where they can be accepted and loved by their families and communities, but we all know that isn't the case.

Listen. This post was originally just going to be "is civil war going to happen". But, in reality, there's so, so much more going on. For the wives, husbands, daughters, sons, young people, old people, people that don't want to have anything to do with politics, and those that do. We're all stuck here together, as neighbors and as associates, and I can only tell you how I see the world.

I see a lot of intelligent people, each with their own world views, all clashing, avoiding, and trying to assert power over their own fears. You all live in my head as opposing ideas, some worth more than others, some being completely useless. A lot of you will die. I will die before a lot of you, and none of this matters on the universe scale.

But my ideal is that we can grow our understanding of each other and get past these growing pains in the right way. That's the only way humanity is going to make it. You have to remember the past and learn from it so that you can keep going into the future, learning and developing and trying new things. If you don't remember and learn from the past, you're doomed to repeat it. That, we know is true.

So... Is civil war that likely?

I'm here right now, too; fuck if I know, I'm only human.

The planet will likely live on, long after we're gone, and that makes me feel a little better... I guess.
