Civil war requires two militaries. Tiananmen Square wasn’t a civil war.

That’s still not a civil war in the conventional sense. If it gets entrenched and coördinated it could be come something we’ll debate, e.g. the Troubles. But insurgency != civil war.
Sometimes yes. Sometimes no. Civil wars are large-scale mobilizations. That’s what makes them uniquely destructive. Insurgencies are also destructive, but in a categorically-different way.
Right, and so are a lot of people. My point is that we still have a long way to go before that sentiment sets in.
