Xicano Pwr posted a diary called TN Town Considering Banning “Hispanics” From Its Parks on which I made the following comment:
It’ll be a few years, but just as the U. S. S. R. broke up, so shall we.
Bet on it.
And then I posted another comment elaborating upon the first.
It sounded like it might be a worthwhile diary, so…here it is.
Read on.
Combine this with the other cultural/regional splits going on now in the U.S….including the fragmentation of the media into specialized areas…and the glue that held this country together for several hundred years appears ready to let go.
This happened at the dawn of the last technological revolution…the industrial one (As opposed to this tech/info revolution, which is really still in its infancy)…and resulted in a successful “Civil War” that held the country together by force of arms. I predict that this time force of arms will NOT prevail, because of the simple fact that “force of arms” in a nuclear/WMD age is ultimately unusable. As is happening in Iraq, war is pretty much unfightable on a real, serious W.W. II-sized scale because the amount of destruction that results makes the winning of a war not worthwhile. Who wants to “win” when the only booty possible is cinders and contaminated dust?
So each side is forced to use “terrorism”. The terror of guerrilla war always beats that of conventional modern armed forces, because terrorism ITSELF depends on psychologically applied fear. Up close and personal fear…a few people murdered, a random bomb every few days, one 9/11 every few years…is MUCH more terrifying than total destruction, because total destruction leaves no witnesses to be terrorized. When Bubba or Ahmed or Liam or Tran or Guido next door is quite likely to come into your house and cut your throat if you do not behave in the manner he demands, “terror” gets REAL. There IS no fighting it. But when it’s Marines and helicopters…”Waall, boy howdy!!! Them fellers is jest MESSIN’ wif us. Time to join the resistance!!!”
And then you have a thousand Fallujahs.
Little Rock Fallujah.
Detroit Fallujah.
South Central Fallujah.
Small town Fallujah.
Against which NO empire can stand.
That’s what is coming if we do not get our act together, and SOON.
Our enemies list is growing rapidly, and they are all signing on to the newest tactic…economic war. The Muslims proved its efficacy in Afghanistan vs. the U.S.S.R., and now you are hearing the same song being sung in several continents.
Not just the Middle East.
China.
South/Central/Caribbean America.
Only Europe is not yet singing it.
Europe and poor, fucked Africa.
If the nations of South/Central/Caribbean America get their act together before we reform this out of control system…game over.
Economic collapse followed by the disintegration of the United States of North America.
Too bad.
Step right up!!!
Come one, come all!!!
Y’pays yer money and y’takes yer chances.
Step right up!!!
Yup.
Later…
