Half Right, And All Wrong
h/t WRSA

Your town. Your street. Your house. Your family.
Or theirs. Choose wisely.

RTWT.

Is society becoming Balkanized? Hell, yes!

That's the half-right part.

Now, stop playing checkers, and think for five seconds about what happens after that.

How did Balkanization work out in 1776?

How about in 1845 in Texas?

Or 1849 in California?

How about 1861 in the South?

How did it work out for the Balkans themselves in 1939?

South Korea in 1950?

South Vietnam in 1960?

Ukraine since 2000?

Even the stupidest slow learner ought to be able to buy a clue here.

To work (assuming it ever can, which I think is a fool's errand, but we'll grant it arguendo for the moment), all parties have to be willing to accept the status quo.

So, the US is balkanizing into mutually incompatible camps. That's just an early symptom, not an endpoint.

Who sees the insufferable Karen Leftarded statists, after all the rhetoric of just the last two years, let alone every waking moment since the 1920s, as sitting still to watch their own blue hives descend to being the local Trashcanistan or Shitholia (many of them are there already), while watching those damned red-state knuckledraggers enjoy peace, prosperity, safety, and happiness, and leaving them the hell alone, while Karen's minions are unable to hijack and deprive them of the smallest sliver of it?

Did they leave you alone and mind their own business during COVID? Did they accept abortion and gay marriage when they won those victories in court, and STFU and just live their lives?

SRSLY?!?

No. ****ing. Way. Ain't happening.

Go look at LawDog's Cake Analogy in case you're not familiar.

Here's what that looks like in real life.

Here's what it looks like a couple of years later.

If you're really fortunate, you might balkanize an entire county to yourself. Personally, I think you'll be lucky to have so much as an entire like-minded city block or full section of land, come the day, before the next phase starts in earnest. And probably not even that.

That's how it works. First come the Blood And Honor segregation laws, then Kristallnacht, then Auschwitz. Pebble drop, splash, ripples.

You cannot suspend gravity (nor will you), and you won't balkanize, and chill out. It's simply not going to happen, by and large, for 99% of anyone.

And it won't matter if the Rs take the Congress 535 to 0, impeach this entire misbegotten banana republic fraudulent administration, and recognized Trump as the correct president. At best, that'd buy you a paltry few months of relative respite. At worst, it would detonate the bomb in everyone's face right then. So forget tearing around third base and sliding safe at home.

You're still going to have to shoot sumbitches in the face, long past the point you're sick of it, and they still won't leave you alone, not ever, until there aren't any of them left. Look at what happened in Rhodesia. Look at what's going on in South Africa. Look at Israel. You can't build the fences high enough to make people who want to kill you stop trying. And there's no where left to run. You'll have to hunt them down and exterminate them to bring that happy moment to fruition. Waiting for the knock at the door is planning to fail.

You will not rise to the level of your lack of training in that moment, you will fall to the level of your complacency. And if you haven't trained, and steeled your heart, to that inevitability, you will surely fail.

Balkanization is just jumping out of the plane.

What happens after that depends on how well you've trained and equipped yourself, and whether or not you pull the ripcord.

Don't kid yourself that you're just going to jump out and hover in space, suspended blissfully between heaven and earth. Gravity works. And for the careless, it leaves a mark.
