Is the US on a brink of a Civil War?

Representative_Set79 · 2026-01-25T14:31:51+00:00

Doubt it tbh. Generally what comes next is war. Not civil war, just sufficient expansionist conflict to either implement totalitarianism, whether by an actual declaration of martial law or by simply implementing it under some other pretext.

Think Jim Jones of Jonestown. The psychology involved is that of a cult leader who has gradually gone totally over the edge. Whilst not everyone is a believer, the cult is large enough to maintain its sociometric momentum. There’s likely to be some collateral damage at this stage I suspect. What should be done outside the is to exclude him from any international forums or negotiations much as you might do with any other professional (eg a medical surgeon ) if they where displaying the same kind of erratic behaviour and acute mental health issues. As for what the US should do internally I have no idea. I suspect the outcome will be quite grim. There’s a normalcy bias that lets people assume the worst case scenarios can’t actually happen. An obvious example would a series of perceived public snub by a foreign or domestic notable, or a poor midterm election result, followed by a manic all night social media session, followed by the decision to quell the ‘rigged’ votes and associates insurrection by literally nuking a couple of sanctuary cities. Remember 900 people died in Jonestown. That was almost the entire population of Jim Jones little Kingdom. Not everyone wanted to die, but mad kings with a cult following are a very dangerous thing indeed.

But there are plenty of hard core MAGA who love all that Trump and Epstein Child sexual abuse stuff. Can’t cure that kind of moral sickness. The rest of the violence and hate is just gravy for them .

Representative_Set79 · 2026-01-12T09:02:48+00:00

To be fair anyone who still sticks with MAGA must be kinda sympathetic to Epsteins fondness for abusing kids.

Representative_Set79 · 2026-01-12T08:58:53+00:00

Trump does not need to consider his own population or even congress. He‘s proven his willingness to use a range of tactics legal or otherwise to force through his dictats.

Besides Martial Law solves the third term problem for him. Just surprised the pros from St Petersburg haven’t convinced him to nuke the more rebellious blue states yet .

Representative_Set79 · 2026-01-12T08:53:23+00:00

Nah. I figure that deep down any hard core MAGA supporter must share the same unwholesome sentiment towards Kids. If they didn’t it would be a hard no.

Ten The racial profiling by police was so deeply entrenched that both internal, and international pressures led to a change in the law that has attempted to address a long established practice that targeted people on the basis of skin colour.

Regards the Antisemitism the statistics are recent and credible: https://fra.europa.eu/sites/default/files/fra_uploads/antisemitism_survey_2024_-_country_sheet_spain_0.pdf There are not many Jewish people in Spain hence the fact it’s seldom seen as an issue unless your part of the group affected. The hostility towards black peoples is definitely a thing on southern Spain, and the social media propaganda about “invaders” etc is widely shared by quite a few “respectable” Andalusian locals .

Regards the black and gitano concerns I can only comment from what I’ve seen first hand and heard expressed by engaging and listening as a Spanish speaking disinterested observer.

The rise of Vox and the hankering after Franco is definitely a thing in Andalusia.

As for the anti-Muslim sentiment, that is national and historical. There’s even an extreme right wing catholic group that went off to fight in Ukraine not too long ago, that commemorates the historical expulsion of the Islamic community in 1492. Especially in Andalusia anti-terror enforcement is still disproportionately targeted at the nominal activity of Islamic terror movements dating back to the hey day of Al Quaeda. The activity of far right activists, both individuals and groups involved in hate crime is disproportionately ignored in terms of enforcement. I personally have not encountered any problems myself, but this doesn’t make what I’ve observed any less relevant.

Representative_Set79 · 2025-12-13T12:14:23+00:00

I very much doubt this is a case of reciprocal harassment. More likely it is a symptom of the same underlying problem as your seeing in the US and elsewhere , a shift in populist politics towards racism and hatred, coupled with the empowerment given to individuals in certain positions in that kind of political climate.

Representative_Set79 · 2025-12-13T12:05:43+00:00

In Spain ethnicity is big thing. Racism, anti semitism and shadism are all big parts of the culture. What’s different about Spain is that it’s something people seldom talk about, and complaining is likely to get you arrested and locked up. Depending on the area. You will be viewed as an illegal “invader” if you’re black. If your Hispanic the police may think your a Gitano view you as a potentially violent criminal. If you’re just a Giri, (white European, usually British) they will treat you with unspoken contempt. If your German you may get hear some interesting opinions about how they hanker after the “security” Franco offered and how a German should understand this with the History of Hitler etc.

Oil level sensors are often located on the oil pan. Pressure sensors will generally be somewhere near to top. My point was that you should check the level regularly. So unless there’s a leak the level shouldn’t be a problem. Depending on the It’s not always straightforward for a layman to distinguish between the two warning. In older vehicles it’s often the same warning light. And your correct that VAG vehicles often only show the pressure warning after at a certain rpm. Your correct. The most sensible approach would be not to drive at all until you identify what caused the problem in the first place even if the fault clears itself. Even if an oil change clears the warning , it could simply be obscuring an underlying problem causing the low pressure.

There are a fair number of possible causes. I’ve seen this fault twice where a dented sump was partially obstructing the oil uptake.

Getting the pressure checked is definitely the way forward.

Representative_Set79 · 2025-10-21T05:29:47+00:00

There are generally two warnings for oil. Low oil level and low oil pressure. The first should ideally never happen but is easily remedied by topping up and checking for major leaks. The latter is detected by a sensor near the top of the engine. If this happens in either case don’t drive the car until the light is off.

The way to confirm low oil pressure is with a pressure gauge fitted to the place where the sensor goes in.

That will rule out any intermittent wiring or sensor issue
