Why do they call it "civil war" if the actions committed aren't actually civil?

Why do they call it "civil war" if the actions committed aren't actually civil?

Because it involves the people of a single nation/state or the citizens of a single political entity fracturing and fighting against each other, civil from the Latin civilis, meaning citizens.

THE TERM "CIVIL WAR" EVINCES A CHAUVINISTIC TRIBALISM, PRESUPPOSING AS THE ONLY CITIZENS THE PEOPLE OF ONE'S NATIONSTATE, TO THE EXCLUSION OF THE PEOPLE OF OTHER NATIONSTATE.

A BETTER TERM IS "INTERNECINE WAR".

>... TO THE EXCLUSION OF THE PEOPLE OF OTHER [NATIONSTATES].

>Civil
>adjective civ·il \ˈsi-vəl\
>of, relating to, or involving the general public, their activities, needs, or ways, or civic affairs

The concept of citizenship presupposes that the citizens of a particular nation state are the only citizens of that nations state? No kidding. HOW COULD IT POSSIBLY BE?

IMPROVE YOUR "READING COMPREHENSION".

Because you do not understand what the word 'civil' means. I suggest you use google.

>>... TO THE EXCLUSION OF THE PEOPLE OF OTHER [NATIONSTATES

That's the point of the term Civil War, it presuposes that the conflict involves only the people of a single nation state fighting amongst themselves. Excluding foreigner influence from the conflict is the point of the term. If a conflict didn't exclude citizens of foreign nations it wouldn't be a civil war. Exclusion is the point of the term. It doesn't matter if it evinces notions of chauvinism or tribalism. That is entirely irrelevant. Civil has to do with the citizens of a single nation state fighting a war amongst themselves. It is explicitly exclusionary as a term.

Because the primary meaning of 'civil' relates to citizenry, the meaning 'polite' is secondary.

>the Great War
>it was actually very awful

'Great' meaning large or immense, used in the pejorative sense.

Can we ban this faggot already.

His trolling is pathetic, but this is certainly the website for pathetic.

>thirty years war
>lasted 29 years

ALL WARS INCLUDE THE CITIZENS OF THE NATIONSTATES INVOLVED IN THE CONFLICT, THUS, ALL WARS FORMALLY ARE "CIVIL WARS"; TO CALL AN INTERNECINE WAR "CIVIL WAR" PRESUPPOSES THE NOTION THAT ONLY THE PEOPLE OF ONE'S NATIONSTATE ARE CIVILIZED, THUS, DESERVING OF THE TITLE OF "CITIZENS", AND THAT ALL OTHER PEOPLES ARE UNCIVILIZED, THUS, UNDESERVING OF THE TITLE OF "CITIZENS" (OF THEIR RESPECTIVE NATIONSTATES); THIS KIND OF MENTALITY FOSTERS THE NORMALIZATION OF PSYCHOPATHY.

"CIVIL WAR" IS A TRIBALISTICALLY CHAUVINISTIC TERM.

Well there was some planning time and mopping up afterwards. Leaving room for cost over runs. If the pentagon had managed the 30 years war it would have ended up being the Three Century War Against Hapsburg Extremisms.

>Hundred years war
>actually lasted 116 years
Explain that brainiac.

...

I know this is trolling but I cant imagine being capable of the levels of illogic that would even enable conceptualizing a statement so ridiculous.

>PRESUPPOSES
That word...

>gets btfo, and is too dumb to understand what just happened
>"hurr i know dis is le trollin"

Well simply, this was the sort of error that was possible before metric system. At this time an English Century was in fact 116 years

You are both posters. You know we can see that right?

ok, but why do they call it jumbo shrimp

(((Marketing Departments))) know that if they sell a product as both Jumbo and Small they can maximize the potential market or the product by covering the buying needs of the Jumbo decapod crustacean buyer and the Shrimpy decapod crustacean buyer with a single product. One size fits all.

Sounds like basic marketing 101.

>80-years War
>they took a 12-year break

But there's no elephant in the shrimp.
