“The #wars we wage against one another are all #civilwars. Until we recognise them as such, they will remain tragedies we accept as natural – or horrors we cheer on in the name of grand notions sold to us by loud voices who know our fears too well …”

@mfioretti_en To any that doubt that Trump is accelerating the push for a violent totalitarian world order, than explain the increase in racketeering e.g. Thiel’s acquisition of NHS data to be used as blackmail to finance their Neo-Nazi programme? Government collaboration and submission to his ultras’ final solution of ecocide; pushback against necessary environmental protections is as real as it gets. If any of us or our children survive their great ecocide collapse it likely be an intervention from Nature itself! https://www.splcenter.org/resources/hatewatch/white-nationalist-who-met-peter-thiel-admired-terroristic-literature/ #Purges #Genocides #Resistance #OligarchsAreNeoNazis #Ecocide #RevolutionOrExtinction #DataTheft #3rdPartyTakeovers #FascistDeathCults #CivilWars #TheHegemonyOfHydra #FascistTech

‘US Supreme Court divided over judges' power in citizenship case’ https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cm2yer83120o.amp Couldn’t the question not considered in the article, of the indigenous birth right be Trump’s real target? I’m guessing the MAGA cult could then accelerate its violent programme of expelling, imprisoning and worse, any ethnic group and dissidents much like Netanyahu’s Zionist genocide against the Palestinian’s people. Land of the free and home of the brave? Not for spoilt boy ultras who are criminal cowards determined to cancel the 14th Amendment so they can steal the people’s land! #DictatorTrump #Dictators #FreedomFromDictators #TotalitarianWorldOrder #TheOligarchsDictators #SCOTUScollaborators #DemocratsComplicity #TheConstitution #FascistSCOTUS #SCOTUS #DemocraticSCOTUS #DemocratsResistance #ArrestTrump #BDS #Strike #Protest #Resist #Resistance #EndFascistEcocide #EndFascistDeathCults #DefendThe14th #IndigenousBirthRights #ThePeople #oligarchsFascistHegemony #CivilWars #WorldRevolutions

Professor #BarbaraFWalter, a renowned expert on #CivilWars around the world, warns that the #UnitedStates meets key criteria for nations heading toward major #PoliticalViolence. We ignore the warning signs at our own peril, according to the #author of #HowCivilWarsStartAndHowToStopThem. #AmericanHistory shows that the fight to save #Democracy will have to come from the bottom up, Walter says. “Protest and peaceful resistance works,” she adds. “Don't voluntarily comply with orders that are illegal. Don't help #DonaldTrump implement his agenda–don’t preemptively comply.”
#Anocracy - Anocracy, or semi-democracy, is a form of government that is loosely defined as part democracy and part #Dictatorship, or as a "regime that mixes democratic with autocratic features". Another definition classifies anocracy as "a regime that permits some means of participation through opposition group behaviour, but that has incomplete development of mechanisms to redress grievances."

Okay, as someone who has been unreasonably sad about the breakup of the #CivilWars, I can’t believe that #TaylorSwift got them back on the same track for a (Taylor’s Version) recording. https://relevantmagazine.com/culture/music/taylor-swift-has-briefly-reunited-the-civil-wars/

> .. all #DemocraticCountries that had #civilwars between 1960 and 1995 had #majoritarian or presidential electoral systems, like in the U.S. In contrast, countries with #ProportionalRepresentation were completely spared.. It’s safer when political parties have members from a variety of backgrounds. Walter says, “War is even more likely.. if at least one faction in a country becomes a #superfaction.. whose members share.. same ethnic or #RacialIdentity.. same #Religion, class and.. location.”
