This topic is not for the usual squawking and blaming between left and right. This is about straight-up answers to what you would personally do if this hypothetical scenario became a reality. It’s about survival.
[b]1. If a civil war broke out in the United States would you arm yourself?
-
Do you think you have the psychological determination to pull the trigger on another human being in such a conflict?
-
What chance of survival do you give yourself in an all-out urban warfare scenario?
-
Which side would the military be on? Or would they be against both sides?
-
If you’re on the Right, to what extent would you trust others on the Right?
-
If you’re on the Left, to what extent would you trust others on the Left?[/b]
(Note: By ‘trust’ it is meant how confident would you be of those on your side to help each other out if the going got rough, e.g., if there was only a certain amount of food, water, supplies, etc., to go around, would there be equal sharing or would you fear some on your side would be thinking only about themselves?}
[b]7. If you have a family, how would you defend those who wouldn’t be able to defend themselves such as children and the elderly?
- If during the conflict you learned of groups (civilian) of both Left and Right who joined together to bring about peace even if it meant fighting the hard-core of either side, would you:
a. Join them?
b. Regard those from your side who joined as traitors?
c. And if you did join them, would you fear retaliation from those of your side who did not join?
-
If the other side won and assumed authority, would you fear that instead of unification in the interest of all (even if under new laws) that some of them would feel they have license to continue their violence upon those of your side?
-
If such a war happened, do you think a foreign country or countries would take advantage of it for their own assault on the U.S.?
-
Whether single or with a family, would you leave the country if you knew of other countries that offered sanctuary?
-
Do you think that a civil war could happen? If you do, why? If you don’t, why?[/b]
As for my answers, I will answer in the course of the thread or if someone specifically asks for an answer to a question. I f I answered all ten immediately then that might prompt answers that are more in response to mine than unfiltered from theirs.
