Are We Nearing Civil War?

[AuH20]

Let the cities burn.

Let the cities purify themselves. Unnatural living needs to meet an unnatural end. I'm starting to sound like R'as al Ghul, but he is right.

Let the cities burn.

Yes, let them burn. The sheep need a wake up call.

Yes, let them burn. The sheep need a wake up call.

A great big heaping of reality that has been denied for most of their lives. Many will drown, but those that fight to the surface will be forever revitalized. These comments may come off as mean spirited and harsh, but this is the typical cycle that defines mankind. Struggle leads to personal growth. Personal growth leads to success. Success leads to complacency. Complacency leads to decadence and eventually the cycle comes full circle.

What would a "purified" city look like?

What would a "purified" city look like?

Less populated after it tore itself apart. The envy and delusion that was used to build it in the first place, would be unleashed asymmetrically.

Which part of the population would remain?

 

[AuH20]

Which part of the population would remain?

Roving gangs I would assume. Maybe some self-sufficient communities mixed in.

If you're starving, you don't have time to worry about the patriarchy or 25 different genders. First world problems aren't even problems. They are byproducts of a mental disease created from leisure based aimlessness.

Who is starving in your purified city?

Who is starving in your purified city?

Anyone living within the city limits who depends on trucking.

Trucking is discouraged in a purified city?

 

[AuH20]

Trucking is discouraged in a purified city?

There is no money in it. Plus, it's risky.

This is what a purified city looks like

[...hopefully before they damn everything to hell, republicrats will take an honest look at the hellish monetary order under which most of humankind is/has been en$laved, abu$ed...but maybe that's too much to ask of republicrats...at least it always has been...]

There are lots of reasons for unwanted pregnancies including alcohol which is probably the biggest one of all...lol..One of the pills was recalled just this month because the first 4 pills were placebos. Personally I don't view sex as an act of reproduction first. Most people don't and that is the evolution of our species. I also do not condone abortions but will stand by the rights of others to chose. I want the government out of my business period. Through education, the amount of abortions have been steadily decreasing and I think that's a good thing. For those who think of it as a moral issue....such morality is relative to each individual, it is not universal.

I disagree.

Without a common standard of right and wrong, then there is no measure of morality. You can't claim that morality is not universal, because it is. What is right is right, and what is wrong is wrong. It is absolutely universal. You can rob a bank and tell yourself that it's right for this reason and that reason, and justify it with this reason and that reason. But at the end of the day, you robbed a bank, and stealing is wrong. You can't rob banks. What is individual is the choices you make in your own life but those come with consequences. Morality is absolutely universal.

There is nothing civil about war.

Large portions of America have become hopelessly weak and dependent on government dole. Most people on the coasts wouldn't last 24 hours in nature.

I'm reminded of a couple pearls of wisdom:

From bondage to spiritual faith << America circa 1700+>>
From spiritual faith to great courage, <<America Circa 1776>>
From courage to liberty, <<America Circa 1791+>>
From liberty to abundance,
From abundance to selfishness,
From selfishness to complacency,
From complacency to apathy,
From apathy to dependency,
From dependency back again to bondage << YOU ARE HERE
