The New American Civil War Game

2 days ago 2

Dearest Fellow Collapse Enthusiasts,

Let’s cut the preamble: America is a tinderbox in a hurricane, and we’re all just here to light matches or piss on the flames, depending on the day. But since doomscrolling is so 2023, I propose something more entertaining:

(Sponsored by Whiskey & Schadenfreude)

HOW IT WORKS (OR DOESN’T):

  1. Pick Your Captain (Or Don’t):

    • Captain Left (Me): "Fuck-everyone-ist, but especially billionaires."

    • Captain Right (Basecannon): "Prepper, libertarian, probably owns a flamethrower."

  2. Make Your Move:

    • Suggest an action to your captain. Anything.

    • "Left seizes all golf courses, turns them into refugee camps."

    • "Right launches a meme insurgency from a Montana bunker."

  3. Let the AI Decide:

    • We feed both moves into ChatGPT like a digital ouija board.

    • It spits out an outcome. "The golf courses become anarchist communes… until the flamethrowers arrive."

  4. Repeat Until Collapse (or Boredom):

    • Switch sides. Betray your team. Recruit the Discord lurkers.

    • Bonus Round: Name your own faction. ("The Dirtbag Duchies" has a nice ring.)

  • Practice for the Real Thing: Sharpen your rhetoric (or your shitposting).

  • Laugh Before the End: Dark humor is the last oxygen left in the room.

  • Prove AI is Dumb: Watch it turn "peaceful protest" into "zombie outbreak."

JOIN THE CARNAGE:
➡️ Step 1: Get in the Baoism Discord.
➡️ Step 2: Claim your role: Revolutionary, Troll, or Crow Spy.
➡️ Step 3: Bring your own revolution (metaphorical or otherwise).

THIS WEEK’S HEADLINES (FICTION, PROBABLY):

  • "Leftists Nationalize Starbucks, Replace Pumpkin Spice with Class Consciousness."

  • "Right-Wing Militias Discover TikTok, Immediately Regret It."

🔥 FINAL WARNING:
This game has no winners, only survivors. Play at your own risk.

(P.S. Basecannon’s first move may or may not involve airdropping libertarian pamphlets. I may or may not retaliate with a folk-punk anthem. The AI could call that a draw.)
