We're a violent people. We kill each other every day. Almost all killings, and the overwhelming number of crimes in general, are gotten away with.

What citizens do not have is a monopoly on the use of violence. That's (theoretically) the purview of the state. The most violent among us are the agents of the state, the police themselves. Google "40% of cops"

Their irregular auxiliaries, the grassroots fascist paramilitaries are a paper tiger. They're out numbered, out gunned and surrounded. They also tend strongly to cowardice. At public demos, without support from the police, they always retreat.

Should #CivilWarII will break out it would be a disaster for all concerned. No sane and sensible people want that, but if the fascists insist, we're going to have to deal with them. An once of prevention is worth a pound of cure.

Anyone who believes that #neoNazis, #WhiteSupremacists, and #MAGAts are the only people in America who own guns and know how to use them, is deeply deluded. We just don't wave them around at demos, that's all. But we *are* ready to defend ourselves.

#CivilWar2 wouldn't be fought between states or regions. It would be fought between neighbors. It would be a bloodbath. It would also be America's national suicide. The world would pick our bones and we'd deserve it. A lot of people think we deserve it already.

Let's do something else instead.

The #CivilWar2 in #mairikkka won't be non-violent.

Generations of #American imperialist, genocidal colonial, racist and fascist violence has been ever-present for centuries already. In and out of that country.

It's been so one-sided all along.

Non-violence hasn't been enough to stop all that.i suspect the future will be different.
