In all honestly... the laziness mixed with a relative comfort even most poorer people have when compared to the rest of the world gives most people with the means to pull it off too much to lose in trying. Those are the biggest reasons I believe holding us back.

Half of these are why a civil war would be bad and SHOULDN’T happen…not why it WOULDN’T happen. Explaining all the bad things that would happen in a civil war doesn’t explain why it won’t actually happen. It’s kind of like saying, “If I get cancer, I’d have to go through chemo and radiation and might die…so I probably won’t get cancer.” And then picking up a cigarette and smoking anyway.

The problem though is that it's not everybody who's upset. Yes there are some very specific clusters of people who are upset, but social media tends to amplify those voices. If everyone was upset, we really would be seeing people riot in the streets everyday. But we don't. It does happen from time to time, but not everyday. I think a perfect example of this is that I know some people who are very Republican, they are very upset about the current U.S. government and want a change, but they are taking their 3rd cruise of the year just last week. Do they have a right to do that? Of course they do, it's their American right to do that... but let's be real, things aren't going all that bad for them. They just don't like the current government. Yes there are people who things aren't going well for, and they are ready to riot, but that number is still pretty small.

I have a hot take with no. 1. It won't be state vs. state. It would be rural vs. urban. Even when you look at the break down of states like NY and CA in elections, the only areas that are really blue are the cities. That's the same in all states. Some states, the cities dominate the politics simply because their cities have enough people. So, I don't think it will be state vs. state but county vs county. It'll look more like Missouri during the Civil War, farm vs. farm. You have to remember, people before the Civil War were more Loyal to the state they lived in. As to the rest, I have no disagreement. I don't think we're heading for a civil war. I think people have a tendency to see things on social media and think that represents the real world when the opposite is true.

@JasonTaylor-po5xc

Ай бұрын

The issue of slavery was a bit deeper than a business advantage. The north had industrialized, so they no longer needed free labor to function which gave them the luxury to look at slavery as a moral issue. Granted, they were still importing southern cotton - so they still indirectly benefitted. The reality is the Civil War was fought over different reasons by different groups at different points in time. The call to action for the Union army was not to free the slaves but rather to preserve the Union, it wasn't until much later into the war it became about ending slavery. The South (CSA) was much more directly related to preserving slavery as stated by Jefferson Davis. Even "states rights" was mostly related to slavery - although the south also wanted to right to trade directly with other countries instead of sending cotton to the north. Granted, the southern soldiers largely didn't care either way as none of them owned slaves, but it was a paycheck. Many also forget about the several "southern" (slave) states that never succeeded.

There are more guns in blue states than red states. It doesn't matter how many a single person has. It is how many bodies do you have and how much money do you have.

The food thing wouldn't play out as fast as you think.California is the largest producer of food in the United States, producing hundreds of commodities, including citrus, non-citrus fruits, and vegetables. California produces nearly 60% of the country's citrus, over 80% of its stone fruit, and more than 40% of its vegetable acreage. California's climate, natural resources, and history of innovation have supported its production for centuries. That is according to Rural Strong Media a conservative organization. The number 2 is Iowa, followed by Kansas, Nebraska, Texas, Minnesota, Illinois, Wisconsin, and Indiana. Eventually it would start to hurt the blue states but it would be years. At least 2 growing seasons.

It is the right of the people to dispose of that iniquity by abolishing the illegal forms, traditions, and revisionist attempts to indoctrinate the citizenry. In other words ... there will be no hesitation of death between those who believe the Constitution is not absolute and those who treasure it as unalienable.

Not gonna lie, this video actually made me feel better about the way things are going in the US these days.

These are all good reasons for not having another civil war, however, I don't think all of these reasons will prevent it from happening. The historic curve of an empire will not be any different here, there are early indications that the US empire may have already begun its decline. IMHO global adversaries and domestic anarchists are feeding deviciveness to prevent solidarity against an enemy, and corruption of government is upsetting opportunities for prosperity and support a thriving middle class economy.

I think almost all these points are right but i feel in most wars people dont think about the smart thing or right thing to do. Most people are thinking with there feelings us vs them not logic. If everyone though about the points in your video we would never have a war but sadly i do think a civil war is posible :/ every thing needed to have one is one the table you just need the right spark to start it. Side note i do love your videos great work.

Great commentary and "Faster than cheetah on Adderall, that two capachinos into it's day!" had me rolling 🤣.

Great video Briggs…..BANG🤙

Oh boy, I love your spicy topics. for the algorithm

Secession caused the last Civil War. Southerners never forgot what the north did.

It always irks me when people say that 'A Civil War Won’t Happen' in X country. You cant know that. No one in Libya in 2009 could have predicted that 'in 2 years time, we will have a decade-long civil war'. As for the US: could happen this election like it could happen in 20-30 years from today.

You kept mixing up blue and red states and I immediately found a nrw video

I thought this was a very interesting video. In general I agree with your conclusions with a few caveats. I can't picture something as organized as the type of civil war you talk about, I can picture low intensity conflict caused by societal unrest; enough to dsirupt things but not enough to cause martial law and bringing the military into it, at least initially. One thing you did not comment on is where the military would land in this hypothetical conflict, and that could be a deciding factor in this.

VERY interesting, Briggs! While I agree, it’s tough for me to make an intelligent argument against it. I math real good but that word thang is difficult for me. 😂 Now I can just send them a link… great stuff! 😁

"OMG"! THANK YOU FOR THIS AWESOME VIDEO! 👍👏😁🇺🇸🗽🥰

Rioting in the streets can be quite effective. I believe that in the U.S. in the '60s and '70s, that riots helped "conservative" (as in timid) politicians to be brave enough to pass radical legislation; civil rights laws, anti-pollution laws, equality laws. I think they helped end the Vietnam war sooner, making it more palatable to call it quits instead of doubling-down.

Nothing Civil about war

Interesting video! There have been some academics who have looked at what causes civil wars in nations and one, Dr. Barbara Walter (not to be confused with Barbara Walters, the late journalist), has turned those tools to looking at the US. You present great reasons why there would likely not be a full blown civil war in the US. I agree that the likelihood of the US having a civil war is low, but high levels of civil strife (just short of a civil war) are possible. Also, I don't believe it would divide by states' geographies. For one thing, look below the surface of many states, especially those with large urban areas, they function quite differently from the surrounding less urban areas. To oversimplify, the large urban areas tend to be blue while the less urban areas are more likely red. If you look at states like Arizona, Texas, Georgia, or Florida would the urban areas (where most of the people now live) fight for Team Blue while the less urban areas fight for Team Red? How would that shake out? No, civil strife in the US might more closely resemble the "troubles" in 1900s Northern Ireland with cyberwar added for good measure. What we will have to combat are those who say, "if my side doesn't get what it wants, we come out shooting."

Hey Briggs, you say that the rest don’t care? Those are people I despise the most, take a fucking position. Care! People have got to start caring, apathy is the death of a nation more than taking a side on an issue.

Im a Vietnam vet, yes an old boomer. From what I’ve seen those that throw around civil war rhetoric have never seen war. War is a savage, terrible enterprise. Unfortunately a portion of mankind thinks it is a reasonable solution to disagreements. It is neither reasonable nor a solution. Those who even mention civil war should be sent to the frontline in Ukraine for at least 6 months. I will wager 95.5% of them will reconsider war as an option. The remaining 4.5% are those with psychopathy as estimated in a 2021 study published in Frontiers of Psychology.

I expect this will be the most controversial video you've ever posted. Thank you, Briggs, for your backbone and good sense🏆 i think you're right. If this country were really willing to fight, it would already have happened. Really-- how long are we going to sit back and watch the deterioration of this country and still at some point in the future stand up and fight for it? It appears highly unlikely.

Cheetah on adderall..Now that paints quite a picture!

Many people around the nation are already experiencing delays in the ability to refill insulin, and other drugs. There are actual shortages of antibiotics everywhere. We still rely much too heavily on other countries, one in particular, for most of our needs. I don't see this topic as one that would stop the war. I see it as one that could fuel it.

It's not Red vs. Blue state. It is rural vs. urban. There wouldn't be any set piece battles. Instead it would be a steady attrition of resources on both sides raising the cost of living. The winner would be those that could supply their basic necessities.

Civil wars are predicted on a win lose scenario, but often they end in a lose lose scenario with huge unintended consequences. We have so much to be thankful for. Why not at least try a win win scenario even if we can’t agree on some things?

@fisher3317 with everything happening at warped speed I would keep an open mind.

I think you need to actually watch the movie. I also think a few of the thoughts, such as concern about loss of life, general polarization and the middle not really caring and us global influence is short sighted. Do you think all Americans were on board during the first civil war? Where would you say the us global standing is now? Has the concern about loss of life ever deterred a conflict. They often escalate, civil war may not happened tomorrow, but events add up and you look up and now we are against each other. And as far as warfare, we obviously wouldn’t be fight mainly fist to fist, we live in a digital world… overall, these reasons you give is more so reasons why we shouldn’t, not necessarily that we won’t.

It all makes sense to me and I hope you're alright

Thank you, Mr. Briggs. I devoted my 12th book, 'Society of Suckers' to this subject.

I typed up a whole thing while I watched this video. I predicted pretty much every subject you went through. I went to copy and paste it and wouldn't you know I accidentally deleted it? Damn. My keylogger probably got it though. I've been talking about this for years, literally everything you said is on all my accounts scattered. 😄

Briggs, any possibility of a military or political coup? With the political turmoil I think it could.

I did multiple combat deployments in the GWOT. Put me in coach.

I have several friends who are frustrated or disenfranchised enough to think that a civil war is possible. I know an even bigger group of people (who fill the entire political spectrum) that think some kind of "national divorce" is worth considering. There is one question that seems to force a rethink of their position: "Would you be willing to break up the United States if it meant losing your Social Security benefits?" Obviously, the older people tend to react stronger to this idea. I think a lot of the frustration and anxiety people have regarding the government is that they are ultimately dependent on the government and feel like they have no control.

It's guaranteed to happen. The next time the gov't tries to enforce a pandemic on people, that will trigger everyone to say no and it will start the beginning of the end of gov't. People simply will not allow themselves to be controlled anymore. None of it will matter anyway after 2030. Life as you know it will end then and for many it will end literally. Everyone will spend their days trying to survive and growing food.
