1. Definición del estado actual: ¿Guerra civil o conflicto de baja intensidad?
Existe un debate profundo entre quienes consideran que el país ya está inmerso en una guerra civil y quienes lo definen como un estado de agitación civil o conflicto de baja intensidad que aún no ha alcanzado su punto máximo de violencia.
- Modern civil conflict looks nothing like what people are thinking it does. We are already in one and have been for a long time.
- Most analysts would classify the current situation as a low-intensity conflict meaning that there is significant risk of potential escalation to full blown hostilities.
- Were not in a civil war were in civil unrest. Wars going to be a lot worse, i promise. Its possible we make it out of this without armed conflict im not sure how, but it would be preferable.
2. El papel del Estado y la militarización de la política interna.
Muchos ciudadanos expresan alarma ante el despliegue de fuerzas militares y policiales en áreas urbanas, interpretándolo como una provocación estatal o una señal de autoritarismo que acelera el enfrentamiento entre el gobierno federal y los estados.
- Seeing ng troops from six conservative states deployed in d.c. Feels like the closest weve been to civil war in my lifetime.
- The federal government is waging a civil conflict that has so far remained less bloody but these things are so incredibly dangerous.
- This is a conflict of people v government tyranny. Red hats are the new red coats.
3. La naturaleza del conflicto moderno y la ausencia de frentes de batalla.
A diferencia de la guerra civil del siglo XIX, los participantes describen un escenario de fragmentación donde no hay líneas geográficas claras, sino una violencia asimétrica caracterizada por el terrorismo doméstico, el uso de drones y ataques entre vecinos.
- Modern civil conflict has no delineation lines. Its not north versus south its not groups of fighters in lines marching towards each other.
- If the us descends into civil conflict, and dear god i hope it doesnt, it wont be people shooting each other, it will be people flying molotov cocktail drones onto other peoples houses.
- Civil conflict is when your neighbors pull you out of your bed and murder you in your living room because they think you looked at them funny.
4. Perspectivas sobre la inevitabilidad de la violencia y la resistencia civil.
El sentimiento de inevitabilidad es predominante, aunque persiste un llamado a la resistencia no violenta y a las huelgas generales como último recurso para evitar una catástrofe humanitaria a gran escala.
- I say this while also acknowledging that we are in the early stages of a real civil conflict and that violent escalation is inevitable whether we like it or not.
- The time is now to create the peaceful alternative to civil war -- a nonviolent general strike which is not the same thing as a one-day street party -- before its too late ffs.
- Anyone who says they look forward to a civil conflict has no idea what an actual civil conflict looks like. Anyone who watched syria could tell you just how quickly and awful it can get.
5. El colapso de las instituciones y la crisis de legitimidad.
Se percibe una erosión total de los mecanismos constitucionales para resolver tensiones, lo que lleva a los ciudadanos a considerar que las instituciones ya no pueden contener la polarización extrema.
- The breakdown of constitutional mechanisms to resolve tensions, leading to use of coercive and even lethal force by both sides.
- The united states is clearly reaching a tipping point where conflict between americans is escalating and there arent any functioning institutions left to dissipate or contextualise the issues.
- Rule of law has been eradicated here and this will lead to civil unrest, conflict, and bloodshed because consent of the governed will be eroded.
