What I mean is, ever since COVID (and even beforehand, with 2016 being the most influenced by the internet until 2020 and so on), the political polarization in america has been increasing for years and years. Nowadays you could expect to be shouted down, shoved, etc during protests if you disagree with them, let along wear a Trump hat near a 51501 protest.

What I feel could potentially happen could be a new version of The Troubles, like in Northern Ireland, where militia groups like the IRA waged bombings, attacked British police, etc due to them wanting a unified Ireland. In America, it might finally be a sort of "leftists finally resort to violence again due to trump/elon", and started committed bombings, killings, etc. Nothing like 2020, where the protests and killing went hand in hand. Rather, it'd be seperate one off cases. A CEO there, a Local red state building here. We have kinda seen it already, what with the Tesla Bombings and the killing of that health insurance CEO.

What do you guys think, does it ramp up over the summer?
 
The hatred between the Irish and English goes back centuries at least.

For the left, their hatred is only as old as the last time they looked at the news for their daily outrage fix.

One is organic, the other is synthetic. And you know what? Political violence is STILL extremely rare in this country.
 
The Troubles:
Driven by a 800+ year ethnic hatred. The English viewing the subjugation and Control of Ireland as being vital to their National security as it offered another route by which Britain ciuld be invaded if the Irish were hostile or if they invited the French or Spanish to come to town and help kill Englishmen. This was then couched in bringing "civilization" and "society" to a group of "barbarians." That leading to the rejection of British suzerainty over Ireland as spitting in the face of God's chosen nation by said British. On the Irish side, some fuckboy G*rmanics decided we needed to give a shit about their political opinions and bow to them like some snivelling pissant does his king/other political leader. We said 'no, thanks." All of this overlaid with attempted genocide, Civil Wars ad nauseam and more murder pillage and rape than has been seen on the North American Continent.

USA 2025:
Driven by a series of own goals from Invafing 2 separate countries tha tled to unmitigated disaster and a crisis of confidence now being inflamed by the media pulsed through the nearest iphone while first world problems continue. Cherry on top of a highly armed civilization that has not experienced Civil War for over 150 years now playing tough guy but will almost certainly shart themselves in fear at the first sign of real internecine violence.


See the difference? It's more likely some protestors and counter protestors shoot at each other, this gets framed as a 'battle,' shart in marts jump into their pavement princesses to bag them some liberlas. They then get waffle stomoed by elements of the SWAT Teams and the National Guard. Some dead, everyone else goes home uttetly embarrassed.
 
@jthtgrw33 I suggest reading Days of Rage by Bryan Burrough, especially what happened to figures centrally involved in the 1970's domestic terrorist scene later in life, and then asking yourself this question once again.

It’s insane to imagine it happening today but in 1973 I think there were 400 separate bombs and bombing attempts, all in one year. That’s one per day.

Most of the shit we see the left doing is synthetic, with paid protesters who would flee immediately at the sight of any danger, unwilling to fight for whatever cause they are 'protesting'

Constant rhetoric about Fascism and Nazis, continued provocations from the Trump administration, and warmer weather should result in more unhinged leftist violence. But we are still seeing scattered random acts. Either something really outrageous has to happen to become the catalyst, or the economy has to go into the shitter.
 
I don't think it's a fair comparison to use the troubles of northern Ireland here to this situation.
There is a better terror campaign to look upon that has more in common with today's issues.
The years of lead in Italy which lasted from 1968-1984 was a period where left and right wing terror groups had gotten out of control and the Italian state eventually stepped in and fixed this shit.
Both groups were egged on by superpowers and other groups from behind the scenes. One the ussr the other elements of the Italian government and the cia funded the other.
We're in a similar situation forming out right now.

lol no.

The left are a bunch of spoiled, cowardly man-children who are throwing a bitch-fit because they're being told no for the first time in 17 years. All this would do is wear out their welcome even faster.
 
No it will be more like a smaller scale years of lead. People sending bombs here and there and assassination attempts.
 
I mean, has the USAID spigot been turned back on?

It looked like things were heating up with the Tesla burnings, but then you had a fat retard nignog on a mobility scooter completely take the wind out of those sails.

I think the left is too ridiculous now to maintain a social movement without top down control and resources dragging them along.

Fpbp
America doesn't have the proper ingredients for the powder keg that was Ireland. From Free Derry to Armagh in the north or to Bandit country in the south. Everything compounded religion, politics nationality and not all of the factors really actively contributed, few really cared too much if you were a Prod or Taig explicitly for the difference in belief, but more so if you were descended from the plantation of Northern Ireland or a loyalist backing The Crown and its control. I don't think America will see anything to the degree, length or brutality. And I pray I'm right
 
No, nobody is going to be firebombing cars in protest in America.
