    Jeet Heer Retweeted Stephen Marche

    There's a whole school of thought that dismisses this sort of thing as just empty threats but it remains disturbing how prevalent it is. It presages, if not a civil war, then an period of prolonged low-level political violence.https://twitter.com/StephenMarche/status/1432501311216488453 …

        Civil warring is like going bankrupt: the violence escalates gradually and then suddenly.

        The "period of prolonged low-level political violence" is already here.

        The increasing rhetoric threatening violence, and the actual episodes of violence breaking out across the country, reminds me of the US South in the 1840's and 1850's.

        For people outside the US, the idea that heavily armed people, who make being armed part of their political identity, and who metaphorically weaponize that identity against those who disagree with them, the idea that they might put those weapons to use does not seem far-fetched

        Violent talk from leaders, even if it's without plans to put the violence into effect, is a great way to foster stochastic terrorism.

        Does the future look like the civil war or the troubles? Both are awful.

        Definitely the troubles (an insurgency).
