Yeah, before you fantasize about CivWar 2 travel to a country that actually has that going on. When i was in the service I spent time in the Balkans and in the Sinai. I also did some hiking around Mali in the 90s - ever see a mock execution - its not a fun thing. You don't want any of that here.

Rev stuff is very tired to me. CivWar stuff is compelling because I genuinely don't understand how we got to that point, given how intractably stupid most white people these days are. How did we get enough people willing to die to end slavery when today we won't even wear a facemask in a pandemic
