Aha. You think the essence of a precipice is that it is in control? Wrong. It's the other way around: the fear that you are not in control. The fear can't be fake. You think a nuclear exchange would be in control? Whose?
I think it would take more than a single viral outrageous video to push anyone into civil war. There was lots of that in the mass riots of a few years ago, and not even close to a civil war. No, the whole point of impending is that all are conscious of heading toward a fork in the road. Between what and what is unknown and the Q Team would have to put their fork in public view in time for them to pick it.
You think the essence of a precipice is that it is in control? Wrong
The difference between Precipice ("scare event") and the real Abyss where humanity will be enslaved is that one is a controlled event ("Patriots are now in control") vs uncontrolled.
For the normie, it feels as real as anything. But the precipice itself is completely under control, just like everything has been since this devolution started.
As fo rthe fork in the road? You are correct. But its being placed in front of everyone through out the past few years. You were a doctor? A fork was presented to you to jab the unsuspecting masses. You are a politician? A fork was presented to do the right thing many times. Judges? Cops? Tech executive? You name it. Forks all over the place, and by the time we hit the precipice everyone would be forced to pick a side.
Well, you seem to think that being on the brink of nuclear war is "in control," so I won't waste more time on alleging the opposite. Just ponder what you are thinking. Just remember that all forms of control cease at the margins of control. (I worked in weapon systems.) Airplanes go out of control too often, but total control is an impossibility. Nothing is more precarious of "control" than human affairs. If you keep things away from the real "brink," then maybe you can pull it off. How "real" is that brink, then?
And, by the way, as for forks in the road---the evidence so far is that the majority will pick the wrong side. How does that get us safe from the precipice?
I want to understand where you are coming from. Can you outline a bit more as to what you expect this precipice with no form of control, that is the impending civil war, looks like? Who will be the sides in this civil war (I cannot imagine a purple haired trans taking up arms, unless its in Ukraine) ? Do you imagine actual battle grounds with both sides showing up? Or something more abstract? Paint me a picture.
Nothing very complex or organized. Just violent mobs out for predation, vandalism, or looting, with the occasional gratuitous murder. It would be a "civil" war by virtue of the fact the populace would be fighting between elements within itself. Not every civil war involves everyone.
But the evidence is that it would take something worse than even that description to make everyone "wake up." Maybe something akin to the Indian wars prevalent in pre-1800 Kentucky and Tennessee, where you resorted to arms or would be killed.
I have no developed theory about this and only put it forward as a condition that might indeed seem like a precipice to most all people, not just the choir. It could probably be quelled in short order by government action, but not without some terrifying preludes.
Have you ever been to an actual precipice? I have been to an outlook over the Black Canyon of the Gunnison in Colorado. Lean over the balustrade and you can see straight down for 1800 feet. One look and you are satisfied for the rest of your life and step back at least 3 feet. Or the crest of Niagara Falls, on a foot trail to the dividing island, where one false step could sweep you over the falls...and there were no guardrails. Those are real precipices where one could get REAL close, and even commit suicide. Doesn't much happen, even though people seem thrilled by the proximity. A stumble or a slip could change the equation drastically, however. And the concept of "control" is limited to either prevention, or rapid reaction.
Here's the thing: Yes, it is possible to appreciate political and social events as being an impending "precipice" on an intellectual level---but most people are not intellectuals. Half are not even above 100 I.Q. The only thing that will sink into those people will be real-life consequences and tangible manifestations. I'm just speaking as a realist.
