Why the far right believes a US civil war will start on Saturday
Although The Guardian leans left on the political spectrum, I tend to stay neutral. However, from what I gathered just by reading a few other articles and by witnessing posts on various social media platform, it seems like alt-right conservatives may have sparked the kindling to this growing flame. Apparently, on the 4th of November Antifa(Anti-Fascists) is supposed to execute a string of events which are used to cause a "civil war outbreak."
A more in-depth look into the origins of the rumor:
FACT CHECK: Is 'Antifa' Planning a Civil War?
It's crazy how a small rumor like this can be taken way out of context. Now all I see are, "November 4th Come and Get It Antifa"-esque posts on all my social media platforms. I feel as most of these people have not done any research to verify information and, instead, spread it like wild fire. What a time to be alive when you can disseminate information all across the world within the blink of an eye.
