When we discuss the future of American Civil War in Russia we usually drift towards images from own past with large scale clashes, mass civilian casualties and general terror. But I think it is indeed going to be a slow-boiling decentralisation resulting in a gradual loss of steerability and decline in civil rights required in order to restore some semblance of order. In the end America is going to become an agressive and dysfucntional police state suffering from a ever-present crisis of competence. What a loss. We could be great allies. Take care.
Not that I would advocate actually trying it, but I’d be curious to see how well you could actually train these guys to be a part of a modern military. We all saw the disaster that unfolded when trying to create an army out of Afghan citizens, would a disparate bunch of Central American migrants do better?
Historically, empires that hire mercenaries because their own people will no longer fight for them find themselves either ruled by the mercenaries themselves, or by the barbarians whom the mercenaries join because the Imperials treat them no better than they did their own people.
Think African and Central American migrants will make good, loyal troops for OUR bunch of sociopaths running things? Think again.
And thanks for the reminder that I need to get to the range.
Great article, what I fear as someone north of the border is that once Ottawa sees the collapse in the south, that they will resort to open Stalinism and shore up their power, by tapping the foreign men they have brought in. Truth is, they are united in Canada in contrast to the US, and the foreigners we've brought in are even more open in their hatred of us and their desire to purge us from our lands.
There is hope for you Americans I think, but there is none for Canada, and we are in for a bloody violent time. That said I only hope we get French or American intervention to back us up against the 'occupiers' shipped in.
If the last election cycle was any indication everyone with a brain should be preparing for violence. They’ll cheat their way to a win again, but with more state sponsored civil unrest this time.
I've already seen "influencers" suggesting that these invaders be drafted into the military to "work for their citizenship". They don't see that allowing millions of low-IQ, non-English speaking, culturally alien people into the country will destroy what's left of our culture and civilization.
One thing I'd caution is some actual literal communists may be our friends in this. No not woke, DIE, DIE, DIE HR bitches, but actual serious men with a material class analysis with AKs, and Mosins in their closets who aren't going to put up with gun grabbing anymore than we will.
The left and right distinction has pretty much broken down and what you have now IMO is the neo-con and woke establishment which contains both "left" (woke) and "right" (neo-con) elements v.s. everyone else. IMO we need a popular front against the woke/neo-con establishment. Don't let the globalist assholes divide us with psedo-politics.
I am willing to hear the counter argument, but make it good, the hour is too late for bullshit.
Abbott to be assassinated by a "deranged civil servant" in 3,2,1....
The always lurking glowie is why open resistance to the feds is pointless imo (but who knows maybe the system really is in USSR style collapse-mode?).
It is fun however, when the feds proverbially "get what they deserve". (texas could simply raise the price of oil for leverage)
RE: outlawing "private militaries" the hypocrisy is next-level. Surely TPTB will count their own BLM, Antifa, gangland goons etc. who do their dirty work -not to mention their stasi-police -as "private militaries"? lol.
The only way for the disempowered is to live, work, and fight for themselves; if our masters want to keep an unlimited number of house-negroes their hypocritical dumb-assess shouldn't be surprised at mass revolts.
Philosophically, i agree with what Texas is doing at the moment. It is the right thing to do.
I don't think it will last, though. They'll capitulate in the courts because the weapons of Lawfare and sanctions available to Federal Gov't are virtually infinite. I don't see any way the Feds relent.
There are no legal or political remedies to fight tyranny. They make the rules, break them when they want, change them at-will and disregard the ones they don't like. The courts, prosecutors and agents are captured assets who will comply with their directives.
If somehow, Texas maintains its course, it can only lead to some sort of secession, as far as i can tell. Again, philosophically, i agree with such a decision. However, the rebellion would be put down and they'd be made an example for any future dissent. I think TPTB in TX realize this. They don't want to lose power. They'll capitulate.
I don't visualize any sort of organic movement that could endure a sustained Federal assault either (Waco?). I will admit there's a part of me who wants to see the action finally come to a head. I'm tired of fighting paper and bad ideologies. Folks need to hang. Even if TX were to lose a potential stand against "The Union" it might energize the dissent to action. But i don't want to dissenters with whom i entirely empathize become sacrificial lambs on the NWO grill pit.
Selecting the time and place for such a battle is very important. We need to be sure such factors are not chosen for us by the enemy. If that happens, it's like shooting fish in a barrel.
From my experience the Commonwealth troops are the least competent, less the Gurkhas who are specifically selected for excellence. Fijians pretty decent also. Other dregs e.g. Afro-Caribbean et al frequently unmanageable and lazy.
- a bill that would ban “private military activity.”
They are going to define what private military activity is. As you said, Paintball could be considered team building, as could lasertag, and target shooting, or even playing Private citizen and corrupt police officers.
Good luck with that in Texas. Texas, by constitution, has a State Guard, that doesn't answer to the fedgov.
“The Border Patrol union confirmed to Fox News that agents were being blocked from entering by Texas soldiers, and praised Abbott for taking matters into his own hands.
"Governor Abbott is not harming Border Patrol operations, he is enhancing them," National Border Patrol Council Brandon Judd said in a statement. "His seizing control of Shelby Park allows our agents to deploy to troubled spots that experience high numbers of gotaways. Governor Abbott’s actions should be seen as a force multiplier."
The hope of a Soviet style slow decline in America run aground on the rocks of one simple fact: the Second Amendment. American citizens own more small arms than the rest of the world combined. Millions of guns, trillions of rounds and a culture of semi-legitimate disregard for ATF restrictions on "other weapons". Are we capable of some kind of concerted, grass roots resistance movement? Maybe, maybe not; but the fact is that some people will at least TRY, and authoritarian governments usually respond to resistance by bringing a hammer down. All well and good in Moscow or Paris where the average citizen doesn't have access to anything more dangerous than a cricket bat or kitchen knife, not so clean in a country with 46 million+ firearms. Guns aren't just an equalizer, they're an accelerant. Somebody will shoot back, the feds will go full Waco/Ruby Ridge and it will snowball from there.

A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.
Texas is fully in it's Right.
The 2nd amendment is two parts. State's Rights to form a Militia necessary for security, as well as the people to keep and bear Arms.
All of it created to stop Federal over reach.

Ask a guy that can’t count- how many tanks? See the bewildered look on his face.

Correct on decentralization and DC collapse.
Further the Border Patrol supports - Texas.

This isn’t secession, it’s dissolution of DC.
