These people want civil war, but I don't think thy're prepared for the massive societal breakdown that is a civil war. They won't be able to shop for their supplies/groceries if delicate supply chains break down. They won't be able to drive anywhere w/broken roads/borders sealed.
Civil wars are worse than any type of war cuz they're all encompassing slaughter fests that end with more people deaad from starvation/lack of access to medicine, than anything done in battle.

~LENAPE NATIVE HISTORY THREAD~
It wasn’t long ago that NYC was inhabited by the Lenape people, who used the island for trade, oyster cultivation, harvest, political meetings, and more!
Most people are unaware of the island’s pre-colonial history, so here’s a thread with info!
Manhattan itself derives from the Munsee Lenape dialect word ‘manaháhtaan’, with ‘manah’ meaning ‘to gather’, ‘-aht’ meaning ‘bow’, and ‘aan’ acting as a verb stem. Translated as ‘place to gather bows’.
