I recall one such earlier discussion now that had slipped my mind, and was actually one of the more thought provoking I've read. At the time I guess I may have sounded anti civil war myself. In truth I was not then, nor am I now. It was just that we were being beset by so many pot stirrers and "influencers" trying to push, to shape the narrative towards an outbreak of violence, and to take our temperatures to see just how close to ready we might be, that I was feeling contrarian.
It may indeed become a necessary evil, this CWII, but I don't dance on command for anyone, least of all those rat bastards that were trying to get us to commit a false start. Screw that, and screw them imho.
I live on the MO/KS line, where the blood is still tacky and the ground still cries out from the wounds o' the first CW, and it is too readily apparent that the price is almost too big to be borne- - -but the decisions may not be ours, and there does come the time when the alternatives are harder still.
This article of course was not asking if literally we'd 'kill our neighbor' but if we're able, or willing, to saddle the nation with another such dark period. If the answer comes easily, or doesn't weigh heavily, upon is, we might have bigger problems than the commie coup imo.

almost unbelievably (given the current state of the country) when there were "discussions" beginning in earnest regarding the possibility of CWII and potential violence in the country, there were several who commented not only that it could NEVER occur here but that that if it did it wouldn't be in their lifetime and they personally would refuse to participate.
at the time, the opposing view in those discussions were that not only would it occur it would do so in the foreseeable future and there would be no individual choice concerning personal participation outside of the obviously available choice of self sacrifice
