Life is absurd. Lean into it.
I was thinking about making a thread with a similar premise, but I'm not trying to get put on a watch list. So I'll just phrase this in the vein of preparedness and survivalism.
It won't be a Civil War in the way we think of Civil wars. Not saying that each side couldn't mobilize a sizable faction, but the military even if they were for/against either side would come through and squash it. Proud Boys aren't pulling up somewhere 4,000 strong for instance to take control of some shyt. The more likelihood would be the military is already co-opted and aligned to some kind of event, which I really wouldn't recommend going against.
I think we need to put together a list of fire starting events.

- Political assassinations/attempts
- Mass unemployment events
- Police indiscretion/execution
- Institutional collapse
- Environmental disasters
- Military co-opt
- 3 days
- 7 days
- 14 days
- 28 days
- 72 days
- Indefinitely
- First aid kit
- Bug out bag (contents)
- Food sources/kits
- Protection (I actually recommend don't go overkill, this may make you more of a target) Have something, but you don't need a whole armory. I prefer, quick, light and concealed. Most people aren't looking to kill, even these militias aren't trying to do that upfront, but will easily do it or find a convenient excuse the more direct potential you have to oppose them.
- A big one most people would miss...fill your bath tubs/sinks with water.
- Depending on the circumstance, I would actually advocate turning your cellphone off or destroying your cellphone.
- Places to shelter in place with a group
- Where to go if your region becomes unoccupiable
