Manufacturing of floppy disks isn't a completely lost art, thankfully. When the old stock gets sparse enough and the prices start really climbing, someone will get the idea that it'd be profitable to start making more, whether that means digging up the old factory tooling or rebuilding from scratch.
I thought the problem was that creating them requires an entire supply chain that's gone extinct, which is why they've been so hard to resurrect. As in, you need to bring back 5 or 6 different industries before you can bring back floppies, same issue as bringing back Cathode Ray Tubes.

But I'm way out of my field on this, so it might just be the insane half-remembered ramblings of a Kiwifarmer.
 
The left will win because they have an entire paramilitary power structures while the right spends time on the kiwisharts simpotently crying ARCHIVE MUH LINK like a boomer woman flabberghastounded that the world changed after 1975
Their paramilitary power structure is nothing but a LARP that has the strategy of having a temper tantrum until they get their way. If you were allowed to punch them, let alone shoot them, they would scatter to the winds.
 
I think violence is inevitable, the Left is fully convinced they're in the moral right and they anything they do is fully justified because the ends are the means for them. How can you live next to someone like that? The Right needs to understand that there is no longer any live and let live. The US will be fully taken over by one side or it will fracture into separate states who will war on us, the Left simply cannot allow the Right to exist in any way. For the good of us all it better be the Right that wins or I don't know how far down the Left will drag the world until they finally self-destruct in an orgy of death and chaos.
I think Americans like the idea of a Civil War 2.0 more than they actually want to do anything that will increase it likelihood. A lot of comie speeds thought the Luigi's assassination of that CEO would start it and the right though the Charlie Kirk assassination would start it. Yet nothing has happened. In fact things have not happened soo much that a sped threw his life away to try and free Luigi instead of shooting an ebil CEO.

That kind of tells you everything. It's easier for people to talk themselves into breaking someone out of federal lock up than to shoot the opposition. Charlie's killer was a low IQ sped mind broken by gay sex, Luigi was a guy with a pain problem. For all the screeching nobody is doing the things that foreshadow a civil war. What's the equivalent of Bleeding Kansas? ICE surges?

The US is the least likely developed nation to go full retard. France, Ireland and Spain are the most likely.
 
While it would be nice to start from scratch and build a new civilization from a blank slate, that's simply not possible unless you have a land where everyone is happy with the new rules. Anyone who payed attention to history knows that whenever people tore down society things got really, really bad. And anyone who didn't pay attention to history is too stupid to do anything effective. How many tranny shooters were convinced that they would be the martyrs that brought forth a revolution?

People are still fairly comfortable, life is hard but they can find food and shelter. The powers demanding a revolution are trying to make everything shitty but people sorta know who's at fault and a revolution would be the perfect excuse for people to hunt down and kill whoever they hold responsible no matter how rich and powerful.

If they had gotten Trump, it would have happened.
We saw the gloves come off with J6th. If Trump bit it then and there the feds would have immediately cracked down on anyone who tries to organize against them. @Potentially Criminal has made the point that for all their retardation antifa and co are like 12 steps ahead of us in creating an insurrection movement. They have funding, logistics, PR, friends in high places, a large pool of potential recruits ready to ride or die for the cause. The only thing conservatives have are guns and glowies wanting to honeypot them. If there is going to be a right wing insurgency we needed to start organizing it a decade ago.

There is no scenario where the right would win a civil war. If one were to start now it would 100% end in a communist regime lasting at least the next few millennia.

They don’t need anything organized. They just need individuals to start hunting dem politicians and pundits like animals in response to the liberals already starting to do that to conservatives. There are a thousand times more conservatives with the needed experience and capability. The response is taking all the guns away and a further insurgency will develop under that condition.

I’m not encouraging or desiring this, it’s just what will happen if we keep going down this path.

Floppy disks are technologically similar to audio cassettes, both boiling down to magnetic particulate bonded to a thin plastic substrate all housed in a protective shell for handling. The old supply lines specifically for floppy disks are dead, but all the underlying disciplines are still used elsewhere in industry and the materials to resurrect them are still produced, there just hasn't been enough of a motive yet.

Funnily enough it'd be pretty easy to restart production on monochrome CRTs (but for a similar lack of motive), it's the added complexity from silk-screening the phosphor stripes/dots and including the shadow mask that really kill any chance of new color tubes.

The two things that keep a Civil War from happening is that 1. People are still comfortable enough materially and food wise that they will not want to blow everything up with a Civil War and 2. People who know Civil War will blow society up and don't want to deal with the hell that brings.

But basically everyone knows Civil War will be hell on Earth and out comfortable first world life will be irrevocably destroyed and no matter who wins, we are fucked.
 

Wonder how long it'll be until some federal judge issues a TRO to stop it

Even right now while inflation is higher than it should be, the housing market blows, groceries are higher than they should be, judges are being openly corrupt in a two-tiered justice system; people are still choosing comfort. I don't think the accelerationists would be fully prepared for the extremes you'd need to put a majority of the populace in the mood for open, armed conflict and this can apply largely to any modern nation.

The real American civil war took quite a while to bubble up, I believe it was around 85 years from when the US was founded as a sovereign nation (with the official adoption of the Constitution) to the point we had a state militia assault a federal military base.
 
Japan BTFOs Indians and Nepalese (read: also jeets) as a positive side effect of combatting Chinese abusing the system and rampant 'paper companies' without any actual legal operations like our Somalis. Indian restaurants are predicted to greatly decline in the next 3 years, much to the enjoyment of my jap friends who say they're all cookiecutter joints with the same menu and decor, almost like it's taken from a handbook...

ETA they're booting their jeetlings too!
Shared this in the Indian thread. Japan is requiring 30m yen capital for business manager visas and it's spelling doom for many jeet curry shop owners and their jeetlings.

Extremely high-effort post! Thank you. Man, I really hope some autist out there develops a new way to make CRTs. I really miss them, but I can't bring myself to buy an older one. It feels like someone else could make better use than me of the dwindling stock or something, idk.
