      I’ve been getting a lot of critical feedback on this tweet. Fair. I should have provided more context why I thought it was a “great read.”https://twitter.com/jack/status/982096889930657792 …

      I thought this was a strong analysis and thesis of competing economic systems in the past (labor) and today (energy), where one ideology had to win completely to move us all forward.

      As I read it, this wasn’t a call for civil war (author used as a provocative metaphor) or a one party system (author states both parties still exist), but a bunch of learnings and warnings for both parties. I disagree both parties can’t work together.

      People weren't responding bc they think this is a call for literal civil war. I'm not a Republican, but if you search the article for the 33 occurrences of "Republican", it shouldn't be hard to appreciate why this is a polarizing piece, and your promotion of it is disconcerting.

      To be clear, "a bunch of learnings and warnings for both parties" is a very, very difficult synopsis to draw from that piece. It's an article about how forward-thinking CA Democrats drove backwards Republicans into the ground, and the rest of the country should follow suit.

      I read it as a take that it could happen, not that it should.

          That's fair, and I honestly don't intend to project my interpretation of the article as being one and the same as yours. As you say, the closing paragraph has more of a speculative tone to it, but IMHO, the preceding context focuses on the impetus and reads as a call to action.

          But again, the aspersions cast at Republicans in that article include brain-dead orthodoxy, being controlled by zealots and the corrupt, a refusal to engage in good faith compromise, toxicity, and a dozen other statements, including outright calling them the "bad guys".

          I left the GOP in extreme discontent in 2016, so I'm really not trying to defend them. I'm also not interested in dissuading you from your views, but I think what concerns me and others is that it appears that you have assessed this as a relatively neutral piece, which it is not.

          Really? How? It *literally* says republicans are the bad guys and need to be defeated in order for the country to move forward. It reads like a 19 year old Bernie Bro's manifesto of tired cliches about the "1%" and "white supremacy".

          So you, as an anti-gun liberal, want to go to war with bunch of angry, gun crazed republicans? That sounds like a bad idea,not to mention the fact that any call for violence is unacceptable and,last I checked, violatedTwitters terms. Hard to expect others to follow when you won’t

          a) Please stop. b) This wasn't a call for violence. No sane reading of this article suggests that. c-z) Please stop.

          Civil wars are violent, any suggestion that they aren’t is devoid of reality. I could easily list a few, but let’s start with a number: 620,000. That’s the number dead in the, in your view, nonviolent US Civil War. Should I post pictures of the kids gassed to death in Syria?

          It's not a call for a literal civil war. That point was made twice already in this thread.

          Taking away rights through totalitarian rule is absolutely a call for literal civil war. Do you really think people, across this country, will give up their rights without a fight? Nope.

          While I disagree with the author on many things, the whole point of calling for a political takeover is so that their policies can be implemented via political mechanisms. That's what every example in CA was, and all that is being advocated for nationally This isn't helpful. 👋

          California: ranked the worst quality of life; one of the highest taxed states (up there with other totalitarian utopias, Illinois, New York), 2 billion dollar deficit. Yeah, things seem awesome.
