Extremely wealthy people shape public policy through their platforms, firms, foundations, and investments—imposing their individual values and beliefs, and bypassing democratic governance principles.
Clearly I’m uneducated on how these reports work because I was completely surprised that this was even in there. But also, if civil war does break out what are we going to do? Take in refugees? Harden the US/Canada border? I do wonder if civil war would ever happen here, what with the Israel marches going on (Toronto had a lot more people than I was expecting…).
I think "civil war" is less likely than just mass rioting of the type we've seen many times before. A civil war needs to have some level of real political antagonism. Red v Blue doesn't have that. It's more like gang warfare.
You’re right, rioting is probably the better term to use since I would think “civil war” would require a lot more organizing… either way the situation in the States and up here are not looking good.
