I'm not the parent commenter, but I decided to read the one about science compelling me to purchase an assault rifle. It's mostly fear mongering under the pretext of "science" by using a medium article that attempts to estimate the likelihood of a group attempting to overthrow the US government based on the fact that two "overthrows" have been attempted (Revolutionary and Civil wars). It also has a good amount of liberal bashing and partly through it we get to the real reason it was written which was to plug the authors book. The summary on Amazon is as follows: "America’s growing political and cultural divisions have finally split the United States apart. Now, as the former blue states begin to collapse under the dead weight of their politically correct tyranny, a lethal operative haunted by his violent past undertakes one last mission to infiltrate and take out his target in the nightmarish city of Los Angeles, deep in the heart of the People’s Republic of North America" Basically the author is trying to scare me, justify those fears with "science", give me an enemy to focus my fear on, and then sell me a book which will both make the author money and give me the satisfaction of living out a fantasy scenario in which all of my fears were correct and I can feel like a good guy. In summary, I would say that this article is far outside the bounds of reasonable discourse and should not be read by anybody.
