>I'm a wargame designer. I co-developed the first reboot of Axis & Allies and its D-Day edition, made a mythological Risk game called Risk Godstorm, and burned down both the Roman Empire in Gloria Mundi and medieval France in Veritas. I write about game theory learned from simulating war outcomes. Like many people, I'm stuck on this as the likely outcome of our situation:
>We're facing a civil war.
>Up until yesterday, I wasn't thinking a civil war was probable. But then Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg died. With her likely went the last chance the 2020 election will end peacefully. She told her granddaughter:
>"My most fervent wish is that I will not be replaced until a new president is installed."
>It seems unlikely that wish will be heeded, though with everything this year you never know. Republicans now have a three-and-a-half-month window to install an unbreakable 6-3 majority on the Supreme Court. If they do, abortion rights, voting rights, and gay rights- actually, just all civil rights in general - are doomed.
>But it's worse than that, because we expect this election to be contested. If they have that majority before then, it doesn't matter who wins the election, because a 6-3 court will kit-bash some reason to hand Trump a second term. So the Democrats are threatening that filling Ginsburg's seat means they will create two to four more seats right after they win the Senate, if that happens. They might add D.C. and Puerto Rico as states, or even change the rule of apportionment. They might, as my friend Cyndi calls it, "act Ruthlessly." This is the stuff that wars are made of. medium.com/@mikeselinker/a-wargame-designer-describes-our-four-possible-civil-wars-cf5b2e980099

These people are fucking retarded. They think putting some neocon judge on SCOTUS is going to be the same as the night of the long knives or some shit. And then theh have the temerity to imply the other side is retarded. Good lord. Its going to take some bloodshed to right the ship. I think if people start getting shot in the streets en mass. The media will quit pushing lefty bullshit and hang them out to dry. The real powers dont want ACTUAL anarchy because it means their lives are at risk.

unironically, the only good thing that comes out of the ending of pax americana, is that the entirety of the worlds nations will be reset to their pathetic useless form. lets see moma merkel try to slurp African jeez when she has to fend for her own and actually have a capable army, or choose between Russian or mandarin lessons.

To be honest, we'd be happy if they stopped bombing random countries. In that regard the Trump era has been the sanest in this millennium.
Owen Foster
And thank fuck for that. China at least pays cash for our tech. becoming such a tight proxy of the US was a long term mistake, instead of developing our own sovereignty and carving out our rightful place in the world, we traded it for some easy gibs from uncle sam.
Nathan Wood
>"My most fervent wish is that I will not be replaced until a new president is installed." Supreme Court Justices aren't replaced. Presidents aren't installed. A Supreme Court Justice would know this. Someone else wrote this, and didn't bother to check their wording before releasing it as a statement. Why is everyone falling for this shit?

Another member of the leftist establishment basically admitting they'll invite foreign entities to assist them in making sure that Americans make the approved choice on election day.
Fuck these people.

>We find ourselves in a country where both sides can’t imagine their loss would be legitimate. If Biden loses, his supporters will blame GOP trickery and voter disenfranchisement. If Trump loses, his supporters will blame voter fraud and riots. It doesn’t matter that the first one of those is real and the second isn’t. We are heading toward a reckoning. >It doesn’t matter that the first one of those is real and the second isn’t. What a disengenuous faggot. Pirate this fuck's game.
because a lot of people are non critically thinking gullible retards if you havent noticed. for example, antifa thinks they are punk rock anti establishment communists but actually work for a group of supranational hypercapitalist technofascists. Trade and the us stance on globalization is all that matters. Its big corporations and global homogenized wage cattle vs trump and americans with more than 2 brain cells if you wanted to keep score

You don’t have a rightful place in the world, don’t you know what parasites you are? You think Israel will vote to stop the richest “aid” (theft) package on earth? Holy shit. Next you’ll tell me all the Jews will leave America to find a better life in Israel because of pride in having something rebuilt built. Lol if only

So, now that I've read that whole fucking thing, this asshole is one of those agitators talking out of both sides of his mouth >make veiled threat >say you hope it doesn't come to that So he's pushing for it but couching his language to seem like a rational mediator. OKAY. You're really not going to want it when you get it, dev fag.
