Has the civil war been postponed?

It's after 7pm EST and so far things seem to be humming along pretty normally. What happened to the nationwide outrage and calamity?

It was never going to happen. This country isn't as divided as the Corporate Media would have you believe, our current situation is nowhere near analogous to 1861. Ultimately, this scares TPTB, because they need us to be at that point. It seems to me that they have accelerated plans since last November, but in doing so they are getting sloppier, as can be seen with LV and events like this.
What they are trying to do now is what they should be doing in 10 years if they could keep the pot boiling for that much longer. Problem is, they are running out of time, on the Left and on the Right. Trump represents a different faction of Elites who have a slightly different plan, and on the Left Bernie and the movement that has formed after his campaign are fighting hard to take the Democratic Party from the Oligarchs. They need to move now if they are to accomplish their goals, imo.

It wasn't the corporate media which was pushing the "Antifa will start a war on November 4th" line. It was right wing bloggers and Alex Jones.
1 TylerRice0515 2017-11-04
They literally posted it in papers and promoted it. So yeah it was. Jones may be crazy but all the dude does is report news that's already been reported and talk about it. That's why journalists hate him because they feel like it's not real journalism.
1 Think_Once 2017-11-04
Link to those papers please.
All I saw about it on CNN and co is that right wing bloggers are freaking out about a non-existant civil war on November 4th.

There is nothing about a civil war in your links. Just something about a process. Here are articles from the MSM calling out right wing bloggers for falling for the "Antifa will start a civil war on November 4th":

So tell me, where is the civil war Alex Jones, The Gateway Pundit, this sub and other right wing bloggers promised would start today?
1 TylerRice0515 2017-11-04
I never said they were promoting a civil war. I just said the shit was in the papers. They said trump must go, clearly promoting some sort of something. I didn't see what any right wing bloggers thought, but was it crazy for them to think whatever they thought when they are promoting "trump must go, NOV 4th it starts" everywhere.
1 Think_Once 2017-11-04
Yeah, a protest, which is completely legal in the US. We had the same thing under Obama, where people where marching on Washington to stop fascist Obama.

Usually you use the word protest lmao. And they didn't. Rather than TRUMP MUST GO IT STARTS NOV 4th! Wouldn't come out to protest the fascist president in these areas work too? Usually when I see protests being formed, the word protest is usually used haha. They came off as if they were gonna do something, that's fairly obvious. Clearly it wasn't anything, but they sure made it seem Like that.
1 Think_Once 2017-11-04
It's right in the ad you linked.
"To join a protest ..."
How about reading the article you linked?
1 BuschMaster_J 2017-11-04
That's your problem right there.
1 bradok 2017-11-04
There is also a lot of talk of division among the Corporate Media. Many journalists have said either on live TV or in op-eds in major newspapers that the division between Left and Right is simply too great in this country. That's why there are actual (though pathetically small) secession movements re-surging in Cali and Texas. Foolish partisans on both sides desperately want it to be true so that they can utilize the chaos to achieve their own goals.

Nov 4th ain't over yet, and several events actually went down, or are going down.
So far, all peaceful. =)
1 atavisticbeast 2017-11-04
it was just all bullshit fear mongering, that's all.
antifa is a wildly fringe group with MAYBE a couple hundred people spread across the country, made up almost entirely of college kids and undercover agents.
the "alt right" / "white supremacists" are basically the same, if you sub out "college kids" with "18-30 white men"
it's manufactured outrage, nothing more.
1 exicleus 2017-11-04
Antifa is state/capital sponsored. It's artificially supported by real deep pockets. The extra bodies joining along side it are just collateral.
1 atavisticbeast 2017-11-04
i'm not convinced of that, but i can see it as plausible.
would definitely be a great psy-op meant to discredit liberalism.
1 exicleus 2017-11-04
It's also a great opportunity to push uncontrolled gun violence and create more liberty restricting laws.
1 atavisticbeast 2017-11-04
authoritarians will use any social movement as an excuse to do that
1 exicleus 2017-11-04
Do you know who the authoritarians are?
It may not be what you think.
1 atavisticbeast 2017-11-04
anyone who wants to institute authoritarian policy.
rather simple equation, really.

Maybe. Or they've decided to do gurellia warfare.
1 cakeboy1995 2017-11-04
Could we stop with this? It's as if people on here actually want something to go down just so they can say, "Told ya so!" Give it a rest.
1 Bobblawbla 2017-11-04
Or they don't want it to continue in the future so they call bullshit. If people realize it's all BS it might decrease in the future
1 downtowne 2017-11-04
Nope can't stop
1 justice_reigns 2017-11-04
As long as the internet is up, their will be no civil war. If we ever get deprived of our internet, that's when people will riot.
Terrible stuff can happen all day long, but as long as we can watch Netflix at the end of the day everything will be fine.
1 wile_e_chicken 2017-11-04
Dude I meant to call you. Kevin's Subie blew a head gasket and blew oil all over Karl Marx Ave. Dunno when he's getting that shit fixed. We still on for disc golf tomorrow?

Can someone make a list of all other dates this year when "something was going to happen"?
