:coffeev60: Recalling TruthTelling
When you should have been listening to find some understanding and didn't. Maybe it was the DEI thing that you did not know about? Perhaps. Too late ? 🤔 Hard for me to digest that 36 years of my life pretty much went down the drain. I was unable to save enough of them.

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."

Is the #US Headed Towards Another Civil War?
-- Barbara F. Walter
> .. according to this sort of analysis, fully functioning democracies are not prone to civil war, but neither are highly repressive regimes. The danger zone is in between, an area called anocracy, a term coined by political scientist Ted Robert Gurr.. According to the measures used by scholars, the U.S. has moved away from a fully-functioning democracy, towards the danger zone of #anocracy.
What is it about the #USA that worries Walter so much that civil war seems like a possibility?
Great podcast talking about democracy and civil war. I had no idea that after 2010 the number of anocracies has been on the rise, roughly coincinding with popularization of social media and Facebook's algorithm to bump posts with the most Likes to the top of the feed. #socialmedia #podcast #anocracy
