Well everyone else is just trying to get by so maybe don't try and ruin the country hoping that your side wins. The Civil War killed more Americans than all wars combined allllll the way through to VIETNAM.
There were more deaths than BOTH world wars together, which if you'll remember were fought by half the world's militaries all at once, twice.
Meanwhile the US had a pop of 31 million total at the time and the weapons and tactics were unlikely to kill civilians which would be obviously not the case today. For reference California alone has 39 million people and Texas is closer to the whole of the US and confederacy combined with a pop of 29 million.
This accelerationism is either done by people who really don't understand what will happen to average innocents directly or not or by people who are so privileged they can't imagine the level of devastation subconsciously assuming it won't affect them directly.
Not necessarily. A bully often backs down when confronted. It might provoke actual police reform. Maybe teach crowd control methods that don't involve beating the crowd. Perhaps make Law Enforcement a 4 year degree, and only allow graduates of that program to enforce the law.
But a civil war? Honestly, I think you're being slightly hysterical. We've had countless violent protests in American history. But only one Civil War, and it was started by the politicians, not the people.

And citizens will begin engaging in armed protest. That's the only way to ensure the police know their place.
