“You didn’t bring a gun to the final shoot-out?” – Seven Psychopaths
This month the clocks were supposed to go back, but I forgot where I bought mine.
- Common violence. Organized violence is occurring monthly.
- Opposing sides develop governing/war structures. Just in case.
- Common violence that is generally deemed by governmental authorities as justified based on ideology.
- Open War.
March was had increased violence as the country warmed up. Sadly for the Left, none of the violence measured up to their requirements – they were looking for very specific circumstances. They needed a white guy with an AR-15 killing four or more people, kids if possible. The Left was disappointed. All of their lottery violence tickets turned out to be of the wrong ethnicity, and then they were immediately disappeared from the news. Poof.
I’m holding March at “just” a 9 out of 10. That’s still two minutes to midnight.
I currently put the total at (this is my best approximation, since no one tracks the death toll from rebellion-related violence) holding at 650 out of the 1,000 required for the international civil war definition.
As close as we are to the precipice of war, be careful. Things could change at any minute. Avoid crowds.

Front Matter
Welcome to the latest issue of the Civil War II Weather Report. These posts are different than the other posts at Wilder Wealthy and Wise and consist of smaller segments covering multiple topics around the single focus of Civil War 2.0, on the first or second Monday of every month. I’ve created a page (LINK) for links to all of the past issues. Also, feel free to subscribe and you’ll get every single Wilder post delivered to your inbox, M-W-F at 7:30 Eastern, free of charge.
The Cold Civil War
Loudoun County, Virginia – A group of school staff and elected officials formed a Facebook® group: the “Anti-Racist Parents of Loudoun County”, which sounds nice enough, I guess. What they were doing was, however, the opposite of nice. They were plotting how to publicly destroy people who differ with their ideology. You can read about the details here (LINK).
The Anti-Racist Parents of Loudoun County primary spokesthing, Jabba The Teacher.
What was the difference? The “Anti-Racist Parents of Loudoun County” believe strongly in Marxist societal division theory Critical Race Theory (CRT). If you haven’t read much about CRT, I can assure you that CRT is 100% a collectivist’s dream. The laundry list of things that CRT advocates is pretty rough:
- Dismantling merit-based systems
- Removing rationality
- Removing legal equality and Constitutional and legal race-neutrality
- “Naming one’s own reality” – as in “My Truth” and not The Truth
- Reparations, and nationalism (but only for non-whites)
- And a lot of other things
In most bullet-point lists, I throw in a few silly ones just for fun. Not in the list above, since almost everything that CRT stands for is very, very silly.
But here is a case of a group of Leftists wanting to destroy people because they don’t want them to judged by, apparently, their spelling:
Yup, this is real. She can’t spell the name of her school (LINK) and goes from third person to first person in the same sentence.
This is cancer in our country. CRT is specifically designed to create division. It is working. The scariest part of this is that a group of publicly paid teachers and elected officials have set up a secret club to publicly destroy parents who disagree with them philosophically.
Welcome to the Cold Civil War.
Violence And Censorship Update
The biggest story in censorship this month is the censoring by Amazon® of the book When Harry Became Sally by Ryan T. Anderson. The reason? “Amazon™ has “chosen not to sell books that frame LGBTQ+ identity as a mental illness.”
Now, since one study showed that 41% of transgender folks had attempted suicide, well, there is at least an argument that mental illness may be at play in some cases of transgenderism. That’s a weak statement, and almost certainly true. Yet, Amazon© wouldn’t allow that to be published in 2021.
What message does that send to a writer? More importantly, what information does that send to a publisher? Since Amazon™ sells between 50% and 80% of the books sold in the United States, would a major publisher take a chance on ideas that Amazon© might find objectionable?
No.
And it’s looking like YouTube™ wants to remove the “dislike” button. Why? There are several theories, but one that amuses me the most is that Joe Biden’s handlers are upset that whenever he has a video out, that the dislikes overwhelmingly swamp the people who hit the “like” button. The comments are already turned off.
I built an IKEA® bookcase I called Joe. It was pretty shaky and leaned hard to the Left.
In YouTube©’s latest idea, the “dislike” button will still be there, and you can still use it. The video creator can see the number of dislikes, too. So, if it’s an anti-bullying campaign, it’s the stupidest one ever because the bullied person can still see how many people don’t like them.
I’ll note that in the videos I reviewed for this post, none of them have comments available.
They know you don’t like them. They know what you think of them. They just don’t want other people to be able to see it.
Enter The Leftist Panopticon:
There was a creepy English guy named Jeremy Bentham who was a “social” thinker in 18th century England. One of his inventions was a prison. The idea that Jeremy had was a prison where just a few guards could look and see everyone at once. This panopticon was a prison where you were never really free of the gaze of the guards.
Welcome to 2021, so we have to be able to do better than that, right?
If Donald Trump had indicated that he was going to use government money to hire private companies to scour social media to find people that opposed him, and use the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to run the program, Elon Musk would have been able to hear the Leftist outcry from his pleasure palace on Mars.
On the plus side, I’m thinking my FBI agent is happy as I make those small, but necessary changes to better my life.
But swap out the name to “Joe Biden” and there has been remarkably little negative comment. Have a need to update the No-Fly™ list with pesky people from the Right?
Go for it. And here’s the (LINK) to prove I’ve not been making this up after watching too much Alex Jones.
The Left will certainly do it. And it won’t be limited to recent ideas, either. The way that Leftists feel about the Right is simple: if you ever, ever supported something the Left is against now? You’re a heretic. Cancelled.
Do you expect the DHS to be any different now they’re in the hands of the Left?
We have entered an era of technology where every move that you make can be tracked. I noticed this on my phone when I stopped at a new restaurant. Google® popped up with, “Hey, can you tell us if this restaurant has any typographical errors on the menu?” Google’s® A.I. was asking little old me to help it know absolutely everything about everyplace.
That same Google® data was used and cross-referenced to bring charges against people who were in the Capitol on January 6, 2021. This data went from, “we can’t use” to “we won’t use” to “we will use” in just a few years. It’s now a primary tool for law enforcement.
As will be your friends, your email, your web history, your web search history, and, soon enough, a track of you moving from camera to camera in any urban space.
The Civil War 2.0 implication is this: the Left is using this information actively. Act accordingly.
Updated Civil War II Index
The Civil War II graphs are an attempt to measure four factors that might make Civil War II more likely, in real-time. They are broken up into Violence, Political Instability, Economic Outlook, and Illegal Alien Crossings. As each of these is difficult to measure, I’ve created for three of the four metrics some leading indicators that lead to the index. On illegal aliens, I’m just using government figures.
Violence:
Up is more violent, and violence is up in March. I expect it to jump in April. If Chauvin is found not guilty? Through the roof. The state-media propaganda of “home grown terrorism” is increasing the public perception of violence at this point.
Political Instability:
Up is more unstable. Instability is near record levels, as the Right doesn’t believe in President *, and the Left wants to cancel the Right.
Economic:
I expected this number to be more positive. It’s not. I think we will find that April is the month that we find that inflation moves from a thought to a widely-felt reality.
Illegal Aliens:
This data is at record levels for this time of year. Comments from the Left? “There needs to be more.”
Running The Gun Gauntlet
I had predicted that the ludicrous Sheila Jackson-Lee bill for gun control would be dead on arrival. I was right. But the other bills keep moving along and are a lot more likely to pass.
They’re smaller bills. Increasing the number of background checks by making almost all transactions require background checks. There’s a “family exemption” that soon enough will become a “family loophole” after the appropriate victim and shooter combination is found.
Guns don’t kill people, Democratic voters kill people.
In reality, there’s no way to track these background checks, since a very large number of guns in existence have absolutely no paperwork of any type connecting them to their current owner. After the background checks don’t stop gun violence, the call will come for a national gun registry so that ownership can be tracked.
Registration at the Federal level won’t happen, because people won’t register. Okay, some would. But most won’t. When Connecticut tried to get “assault” weapons registered, it is assumed that only one weapon out of eight was registered. People know what is at stake.
Doing all of this at once is too much, and too far. The average American gun owner simply will not comply with registration in 2021, and even the stupidest Leftist understands that widespread noncompliance just gives people a reason to understand the relative strength of individuals and the relative weakness of the government.
As I’ve said before on another post (LINK), the largest army that the world has ever seen are the 80,000,000+ members of the Right in the United States. As soon as the Right realizes that, they will understand that we truly are only ruled by our consent.
And that is truly what the Left fears.

It’s falling apart – all on schedule.
“They know you don’t like them. They know what you think of them. They just don’t want other people to be able to see it.”
You have hit on something important here. A lot of the censorship we see is aimed at least partially at creating a sense of isolation. You must be crazy because no one else thinks like you. We went through a lot of years like that and then Rush Limbaugh came on the air and suddenly we realized there were others who thought the same way but it was one way only, Rush coming through our speakers. We knew a lot of people listened to him but we had no idea how many. Then social media came around and we found out that the number of people was a huge one. The censorship, deplatforming and gaslighting is all an attempt to convince us again that we are isolated and alone, and might as well give up. Notice how few news outlets mentioned that Trump received more votes in 2020 than anyone else running for President had ever received, other than “votes” for former Vice President Biden? They don’t want us to connect the dots and see how many of us there are.
As an aside, there is something weird about the formatting on this post on a desktop, the links are bleeding way over to the right on my screen, overlapping some of your sidebar.
John – I sent you two link emails, the second one has the “correct” formatting….I think.
That seemed to fix it
Yup. Thank you both, very much.
Ricky, it was the table formatting. The problem exists between my keyboard and chair – so I popped ’em out and put ’em in bare.
The term for that is “preference cascade.” Tyrannies don’t need anyone to agree with them, they just need everyone to believe everyone else agrees with them. When a few people speak up, cracks appear in that facade, which leads to more people speaking up, which leads to more and wider cracks…
That’s why they guard that castle so closely. With a moat. And a minefield. And a . . . (ad infinitum)
Arthur, first, I fixed the formatting because of this comment. Thank you!!!!
Second, the isolation is palpable. I did some searches that should have pointed to my site and they pointed to . . . . irrelevant crap (on Google). Not so much on Bing or Duck Duck Go. More on that later.
They want us to believe we’re alone.
We’re not.
They want writers to believe they aren’t being seen.
They are.
John – – You described the miscreant creative cabal in Loudon County as: “Jabba The Teacher.”
I always thought that females of that vermin species were to be known as “Jabba the Slut…”
I’m pretty sure she couldn’t attract, um, well, anyone. No opportunity there.
But I’ll agree – she’s not a teacher.
Look up Herbert Marcuse and don’t worry about any tribal affiliation. Violence from the left is good and The Long March really began with the creation of the Federal Reserve banking cartel.
Angela Davis, Derek Bell, Richard Clowen, Frances Piven, these are some more faculty lounge fellow traveler heroes.
A comments section had the Civil War II PDF and I’m halfway through and just waiting on this coffee to finish. Most of the stuff has already come to pass and the demographics due by dates are just about right.
Not everything in it is absolutely correct but no one ever is and that is no reason to throw out the rest.
Hat tip to these pages and comments sections for being the True Sons Of Liberty, your names will be celebrated in Valhalla even if it is an assumed name.
Thank you especially for that final comment. Even better than being celebrated would be the daily fight. And the drinking.
I’ve gotta get the beard grown out.
Long Live Liberty!
The Anti-Racist Parents of Loudon County have a swell little thought-nazi group.
It would certainly be a real shame if someone used the membership roster as a Wish List for hunting season…
BTW, John:
Buy your wife some abacus beads for her birthday.
It’s the little things that count.
Yeah, they must be fun at parties. Well, at the communist party.
Okay, that last one got me to laugh. Twice.
Thank you.

It occurs to me that we may never see your declaration of Condition 10. Because, once it occurs, the internet may fall down go boom.
Ah, yes, what Ann Coulter amusingly describes as a “heffalump.” And that creature looks like a great example. Should probably be very, very afraid of the ‘Rona.
Official beginning of CW2 will be when it is no longer possible to log in to W3 to see if CW2 has begun 😉
James – I think you are correct. A future post will examine the “detuning” I’m already seeing from our friends at Google.
Here’s hoping she has a long life.

“…almost everything that CRT stands for is very, very silly.
But here is a case of a group of Leftists wanting to destroy people because they don’t want them to judged by, apparently, their spelling:”
It is not silly, it is scary if you know the reasoning behind it. Everything the Left does makes perfect sense once you realize their only goal is power, and that an internally consistent ideology is a hindrance to that. Alinsky tells radicals to hold the opponents to their morality, he doesn’t tell them to have morals themselves…
The Left’s rules you bullet point will lead to inefficient people in positions of power (e.g., Department Head Shaneeqa Khaleesi Jones in your link), but for precisely that reason they will be LOYAL people in positions of power. They know they would be nothing w/o the largesse of Leftism, so they are fanatically loyal to Leftism.
For more details, check out this brilliant article:
https://spandrell.com/2017/11/14/biological-leninism/
You are correct – it is a power game. Their morality goes to an effective zero.
That’s an excellent article (Spandrell)! I read that some time ago, and have made those points again and again in conversations with friends. One of those articles that’s so good, it becomes part of your base programming . . . .
You are correct – it is a power game. Their morality goes to an effective zero – the only
I expected a market crash by now. I think they will keep it propped up until they think it won’t cause spicy times with all the unemployment.
The crash, when it comes, will be violent and unstoppable. You won’t have to guess if this is it.
Soon? The Fed can print money longer than I can stay solvent.
A bus load of UNITED NATIONS MILITARY IN FULL UNIFORM,stoped at our little country store last summer,To buy cold drinks for the FIFTY OR SO TROOPS ON BOARD,I asked them,WHO IS PAYING FOR YOU TO BE IN AMERICA,they said MIKE PENCE,AND DONALD TRUMP,all the big airlines are providing the airlift into the country,TREASON IS NOW FASHIONABLE IN AMERICA,they all do it,YES A WAR IS COMING,and ALL the girlymen had better be ready,OH,and the government fully planes to hit america with a whole bunch of new Plagues,all of them curable with the right plants..HEMORRHAGIC FEVER- cure L-LYSINE,its a amino acid,you can buy it everywhere…Ivermectin is a mirical drug,it cures hundreds of things ,LIKE CV19,cancer,and dozens of others…….
People keep wondering when it will be go time for Civil War 2. We can’t see their fangs just yet. When the fangs come out (the leftists start illegally arresting and executing people who are not them) then you’ll know. Easy Peasy. All one has to do, to know the leftists next move, is to remember that they go strictly by the law, unless it doesn’t serve their purposes. In which case they ignore the law and make up a new one.
Sean, that reminded me of this story:
https://talesofmytery.blogspot.com/2013/02/anthony-boucher-they-bite.html
Sir,
The incident where google asked you about spelling errors on a menu is very interesting. I just found out what captcha is for…. notice that you are always asked to ID the traffic lights, or buses, or motorcycles? Apparently, you are assisting google with the database needed for autonomous vehicles.
Makes me really begrudge this requirement. Makes me not want to prove I am not a robot. What difference does it make?
We really need to get on with this, however that is to be achieved.
Yup. The AI is getting fed. How much data does it have now?
We’re already past midnight in case you haven’t noticed. Ever the optimist eh?
We are in the Sitzkreig. When things fall apart, expect the Von Schlieffen plan.
Keep reminding pukes it’s them that’s breaking the social contract. Keep reminding em the election genie isn’t going back in the bottle either! No matter how many election laws they pass!
Nope. Elections are done. Over. You can’t sue before, because it hasn’t happened. You can’t sue after, because it has.
Elections are now obviously . . . fake.
