    I’m not actually surprised that the second american civil war starts in California. Cali always seemed like the most progressive state.

        Reminds me of Victoria BC in Canada, whole place feels like a liberal nightmare. The place is run and populated by champagne liberals who step over homeless addicts on their way to their micro breweries so they can congratulate each other on how progressive they are.

      This is nothing really. If people wanted war they would have strategy. It’s just pissed off people, not people with a plan.

      Watching the riot over the past few hours it looks like it’s just bored people with mob mentality.

        how are they supposed to make a strategy? I mean I’m with you 100%, but normal people aren’t going to be able to create a war strategy without some sort of funding and support.

        I mean, strategy forms as you test the waters and see what response you get. The infancies of rebellions often aren’t the most strategic.

        This is arguably the most dangerous kind of war, at least for the elites and authoritarians. Angry people without a plan are unpredictable.

      California is only “progressive” to the extent that it makes neo-liberals richer.

      Massachusetts is the real center of progressivism in the US.

      The entire east coast is more progressive because they value modesty and hard work way more than lazy, privileged Californians.
