Ismay wants to “break the will” - his words - of people who rely on gasoline to power their cars and oil and natural gas to heat their homes, in order to “combat climate change.” “Sixty percent of our emissions come from residential heating and passenger vehicles,” Ismay told an audience gathered to hear him expostulate – using the royal “our” as collectivists reflexively do when they mean to say everyone except themselves, especially when it comes to having wills broken. He went on to say that these “emissions” – of the dread inert gas carbon dioxide that doesn’t create smog or cause breathing problems – “that need to be reduced” – the assertion is taken as established fact – “come from you, the person on your street, the senior on fixed income.”

No matter what it takes, no matter what it costs.

He described “turn(ing) the screws” . . . in order to “break (the) will” of such deplorables. That is to say, the desire of the deplorables to resist being impoverished – and frozen – by well-paid-by-those-who-are-forced-to-pay-them government workers such as himself.

Nope. They have absolutely no desire for a civil war whatsoever and have spent the last century preventing one.

Exactly, and people need to stop with the tired idle threats of rebellion.

To make a threats believeable you have to once in a while act on them. So far all I've seen is people sliding down that slippery slope while warning that if it they keep falling they will finally get mad and climb back up. So far nothing has happened.

Utter lack of organization is the major hurdle, coupled with the adversary being completely organized and well financed.

That said I doubt they don't want a civil war, since it would allow them to just start exterminating people and allow their vassal states to take over large swaths of resources. As well as a roll of the dice to see if they could implement total communism here.

People have no problem showing up in full kit for their dumb little protest photo ops.
