I'm not advocating for civil war. However, it is absolutely imperative that you don't let the threat of civil war prevent you from protecting your rights.
Rights are worth fighting for. Rights are worth dying for. And no, don't try to "both sides" this. In the original US civil war, there was one side that was objectively on the right side of history. But I imagine if you were alive in the 1860s, you would have been advocating to just let the Southerners keep owning human beings. After all, civil war is just death and atrocities accomplishing nothing. It's better to throw every one of our rights in the garbage before risking civil war.
