The talk gets louder every day as BLM and Antifa outrages mount and White resentment comes to the boil. Even Fred Reed believes Things Are About To Blow. A conflict largely along racial lines appears to be to be on the horizon - and getting closer by the day. But how realistic is this? Whites make up the overwhelming majority of Antifa's peaceful demonstrators and there's a significant White minority even in the BLM movement. Meanwhile in suburban Whiteopias 'Black Lives Matter' signs adorn many lawns. How will this shake out if and when large-scale conflict breaks out?

I don't know but history suggests that in such circumstances skin colour (and/or religion) represents your uniform. Hate-fueled violence has a way of clarifying things for a person, especially if that violence is threatening the people they love. Most Americans are utterly unfamiliar with this. Hearing about it isn’t the same as experiencing it. If it comes to armed civil conflict the choices will largely (there will of course be exceptions) be made for them. People will do what they need to do to survive. Some people will try to act out of principle, but most will act in the interest of self-preservation. The fence-sitters are going to be force to pick a side. And in all likelihood, it’ll be the side that’s not trying to kill them.
