Crusty Question: Is a Second American Civil War inevitable?

Postby Almighty Biden » Mon Apr 29, 2024 4:27 pm

Halloo NSG,

I have come to the conclusion that a second American Civil War is inevitable at this point. The Democrats are convinced that Republicans are fascists; likewise, the Republicans are convinced the Democrats are communists. Also, Republicans are convinced that the Democrats are in cahoots with China, and the Democrats think the Republicans are colluding with Russia. This is nothing at all like when Jefferson thought the Federalists were "monocrats", or when Hamilton thought the Republicans were "Jacobins": this is totally unprecedented. Or that the Republicans thought the Federalists were conspiring to restore British control over the States, and the Federalists thought the Republicans were French agents.

But despite the political polarization in our country, it is mild compared to the singular most divisive issue in our country, which will undoubtedly tear America apart someday. In Illinois, the Chicago style deep dish reigns supreme, and in New York (state), the New York (city) style pizza is most prominent. I believe the other states are taking sides on this most divisive issue, and its even possible that Hawaii will secede and join Canada, who has interfered with there own style of pizza!

What do you think NSG? Is the next American Civil War coming, with the states fighting over how we should make pizza?

Is it going to break out as part of the rough patch the country is currently going through?

Maybe, but probably not.

Will a second civil war occur a century or two in the future for the US?

More time involved, more chances for it to occur.

Deep dish will win though.

Yes, of course. The amount of people who like pineapple on pizza is staggering, while everybody else pretty much agrees that pineapple on pizza is a war crime.
It wouldn't be much of a war, more like a slaughter. On the other hand, Chicago-style lovers would be alone against the thin-crust and new york style lovers. That's a bigger margin, so its be a war, alright.

Clearly loyalty should go to the traditionalists and italian style should reign supreme. But if we are to break new ground it is the clean and righteous New York style that shall triumph over the corrupted mess of glup of chicago.

That being said I see no reason for it to come to blood.

If we are doing military comparisons, I have different tech levels, so just match whatever your nation is to the appropriate level. If you are PT, imagine a set redneck guerilla warbands fighting so that their families aren't wiped out by famine and raiders. My goal in this is to be able to line myself up against any nations (along their timeline and tech level) whether they are based in 1974 or 80859. As such the numbers from PMT on are a bit soft. Those looking at our culture are stuck with MT timeline but I am building it out more. And for those who don't want to see factbooks, stats are not cannon. Policies are.

I like both Chicago- and New York-style pizza, but if a war broke out between the two, I'd have to side with deep dish (and that's not just on account of my Midwestern loyalty). I enjoy Hawaiian pizza too, but it's rarely my first pick. I'll happily eat thin crust too, but I'd choose stuffed crust over that every time.

With the growing threat of the culture wars, we are clearly on a road to a second American civil war. I am not going to be on the woke nor the anti-woke side. Stay neutral.

Inevitable? Not at all. Possible, yes. Likely? Eh, harder to say, I’d say no however. I’m more concerned about extremist terror groups arising, like Italy’s Years of Lead.

Gonna be honest I just like pizza in general, so I’d likely be executed by all parties involved.

I personally believe it is LIKELY, but not inevitable. It doesn't matter who wins in the next presidential election; the other side is absolutely going to make complaints. In the worst case scenario, a second civil war could break out.

1. I am a man. I identify as a man, and I have since I was born male.

2. Ballistics do not care about your false sense of morals.

3. Even if you strike me down, someone else might take my pineapple-pork-cheese-barbeque-passover place.

I can see corn working, but I just can't imagine tuna or mayo being good on red sauce. Alfredo maybe.
