USA second civil war (I guess it would be the second, right?) is coming? Texas vs USA?

Do you guys think in the world as it is today a civil war is possible? I mean looking at the scenario of the militar force of the country (missiles, tanks, airplanes, warships, bombs, drones etc) versus the militar force of a State (idk... glocks? rifles? maybe some snipers? pepper spray?) does a civil war is really possible? I'm very ignorant about how exactly was the civil war specially in therms of weaponary but I would say both sides had more or less the same level of weapons not an immense dispersion like it is today. Am I right?

And by the low knowledge of what I have on USA laws from the videos I saw it seems Texas is completely wrong on this in legal terms.
 
comforting lie: blaming everything on immigrants and trans people will solve our problems
Unpleasant truth: the destruction of the environment will bite us all in the bum if we don't make fundamental changes to our societies
Politics and Science are like milkpowder and cocoabutter...
Fundamentally 2 different ingredients, together they can become a symphony.
No you're just a chocolate addict

Lived in Texas my entire life

If there was a second civil war, these bums would fucking die.

All the immigrants want to do is work low paying jobs. Maybe a handful of crazies are so racist that they’d be willing to go to war to keep them out, but all you need to do is go outside and you can see how much our society depends on these people. They make up large parts of many important industries.

Idk about mexicans exactly but I know that with Muslims there are terrorists infiltrated between those civils that just want a better life. Some african countries are doing the same. The whole narrative of they being men in militar age really make us wonder something else.

USA low paying job = 3rd World countries average paying jobs
 
True

if developing countries were paid fairly for their labor, you’d never have mass migration.

But unfortunately, the global capitalist system thrives off exploiting the cheap labor of developing countries.

No. Eugenics is about selective breeding.

And quite literally dawkins said he deplores the idea of eugenics in humans. He just said it would be possible to do regardless.

But this still doesnt have anything to doneith science working. So not sure why you are so desperate to deflect from that with this stupid attempt of accusing dawkins that he supports eugenics

the cases of "hard" sciences you will see that more in the scientific process itself. For example, no caring about politics and values in scientific research will lead - in a patriarcal world - to a bias situation where it will be seen as normal that women are underepresented in sciences in both researches and publications which can lead to a lack of diversity of point of views. Something that can impact the process of creating good and efficient results.
Diversity of opinions has nothing to do with superficial traits like sex or ethnicity.

And well its pretty undeniable that women tend to not to be as interested in stem subjects

This would be an strategic error, but you do what you want mate.
Well in the end i didnt become a scientist anyway, so its not like it matters.

Can you stop people from experimenting on human or animals to study medecine or launching nuclear warheads on countries to study their impacts on climate if you do not care about "values" and "politic" in the scientific process ?
Studying medicine would be impossible without experimenting on animals and humans, so i dunno what you are on about with that.

But well ultimately you cant. Because other people with opposite values and political ideology exist and will do it anyway

Imho its essentially antiscientific to say we should reconsider researching evolutionary biology because nazis could exploit the findings.

Pretty much. These fundamental changes need to be global. Shit like carbon tax on everyday joes is not something i see will actually help with the climate issue though.

Every identity is legit. We cannot tell people how to feel about themselves.
I guess i didnt phrase it precise enough then. I tried getting at whether gender dysphoria is a legit condition or whether he thinks trans people just make shit up for the sake of it

USA is a 3dr world country
Go to a 3rd World Country first before talking shit.

Country comparison: Brazil / United States (worlddata.info)

Brazil vs USA

Unemployment rate: 9.5 % vs 3.6 %

Inflation rate: 9.28 % vs 8.00 %

Cost of Living: 49.78 % vs 100.00 %

Commercial taxes and contributions: 65.10 % vs 36.60 %

Average income: 8,140 US$ vs 76,770 US$

USA has near 1/3 of unemployement. Less inflation. Althought cost of living is the double of Brazil the average income is around 9,5x. And way less taxes (current governament is increasing those taxes absurdly lately in Brazil).

Let's see Quality of Life

Political stability: 50 vs 67

Civil rights: 42 vs 83

Health: 56 vs 71

Climate: 56 vs 66

Cost of Living: 37 vs 42

Popularity: 40 vs 87

Now I ask you what is your idea of 1st World Country that USA doesn't fit?

Carbon tax, carbon offsets and similar shit is pure greenwashing that doesn't have any positive effects
