I thought about this as well. War typica
I thought about this as well but you have to remember that war (revolution/civil) typically comes when people feel they have nothing left to lose. Our lower class brethren are already there. So, if war comes within this country it will be when the middle class is decimated, which is what our elected officials are doing right now. When the middle class feels like they have nothing to lose, then you’ll get a revolution.
In 1770, almost all people had to cut their own firewood to survive, not just because fires look pretty. They had to grow or raise 99% of what they ate. They had to sew their own clothes (and plenty wove their own fabric just to be able to have something to sew). A routine infection could kill you or cause amputation. I can go on and on, but you get my drift. Everyone was already used to a high level of discomfort just to survive, so there really wasn't that much to lose by joining a guerilla army.
Today almost everyone has climate controlled accommodations, the govt gives you food if you are too lazy to earn money to buy it yourself, expensive clothes are free at Goodwill and the Salvation Army and relatively cheap almost every where else and you can get a liver transplant if your old one gives out because you drank too much, even if you can't afford a box of bandaids.
You think people are going to join a guerrilla army to fight that?
