What would it take for the beginning of a civil war? (lemmy.ca)

Listen, I know wars are horribly bad. I'm really sorry even asking such a question.

I'm Canadian. It seems that the fascists are set on military action against Greenland. I'm highly afraid that we're next. So I'm hoping the following happens in order:

  1. No wars. Somehow, legally the fascist executive is stopped. This unfortunately seems unlikely...
  2. They get bogged down in a war elsewhere. This prevents them from coming after Canada. I know this is me being extremely selfish, but whatever.
  3. A civil war begins. No one has to worry about being invaded.

So my question is related to the third possibility. What could start a civil war? Could an invasion of Greenland and the following economic collapse (hopefully caused by the EU dropping US treasuries) be the spark?

I don't have a brand or following or even loyalty to opinions I held yesterday if they no longer serve me today. I've changed my mind on a great many things over the course of my life, and while I do struggle with shame when I've been wrong, the truth must ultimately be served.

Which is just to say, I have my fervent beliefs but when I'm wrong, I accept that and adapt, because the truth won't bend to accommodate me. I don't have that kind of money.
