Re: Moldova

However, there was massive bloodshed in Moldova in WW II, and it appears to have reset to a WW II timeline, and is currently in a crisis era. (These "first turning resets" are always difficult to understand.) No other country appears to have been reset by WWII, so it would have to take something pr...

Re: Geopolitical topics

Maybe someone can correct me, but wasn't the Spanish Civil War fought over a political ideology? I'm not sure if I'm on board with the thesis that Civil War Crises cannot be fought mainly over political lines, without much regard for race, culture, or class. I think such an occurrence would be unli...

Re: the near future for america

If slavery was the real catalyst for the Civil War, you are essentially claiming that all Southerners were stupid. Why would they fight a war where they could have their own "slave state" upon victory? Surely they would know that upon their independence, their slaves would simply run away to the no...

Re: the near future for america

As far as a civil war goes, it would be along the same lines as the last civil war: Federalists against Constitutionalists (no the civil war was not about slavery). It was about federal power. No it wasn't, and this revisionism reeks of some of the worst stuff found on LRC. No one really cares abou...
