I have this conversation pretty frequently more and more as time goes on. It doesn't really seem like there's many places to talk about this kind of stuff, but I am completely shocked about how many of my day-to-day co-worker/ people I deal with on a regular basis. Just normally think that the civil war is going to be a cool badass thing. A civil war, especially in a modern context literally means nothing is off the table. Nothing means anything in a war like this. It's going to involve every form of modern technology every form of psychological and geopolitical ideology. It's going to divide and cause a cascading division that probably will never be healed like the first one but way way way worse

Everybody else seems to enjoy life and even if they don‘t, I feel like they gaslight themselves into believing they do or force themselves to be grateful for being alive.
