The


Bravo that you get on well with your neighbors. Reread my earlier post. Missouri, where I grew up, was not a hotbed of civil war fervor either until the war reached their doorsteps. Then neighbors and family members took their stands. Being a non-combatant, choosing to not even defend yourself, is unlikely to end well.

Being unable to imagine different scenarios than the one you are currently embedded in is not a virtue, it will be a fatal flaw if civil war actually comes knocking on your door.

Civil war, if it comes, will have been manufactured, likely from the same sources as every regime change in the last 40 years. That it’s origins would be artificial will have little bearing on how real it will feel from ground zero.

You can put your theory of cordiality to the test - and do valuable prepping at the same time - by starting now to organise your neighborhood into a neighborhood protection zone. Plan ahead and prep for “just in case”. My guess is you will be in for a big shock - as so many forward looking, would-be preppers are, when they actually try to put the theory of group good Will into practice.

You don’t even have to use civil war as the scenario - being attacked by A****a, a gang, or a band of white supremicists could be the scenario that floats your boat. The point is, until you try such an experiment with your community, you have no basis other than peacetime assumptions as to how it will workout.
