US ‘closer to civil war’ than most would like to believe, new book says
It&#x27;d be interesting, from a neutral-ish, academic, historic, curiosity perspective, to see a civil war &#x2F; revolution in a developed country with a modern industrialised military. The resultant mess can get <i>extremely</i> deadly and hard, if not impossible, to resolve.<p>That being said, i do personally think a revolution in the US has been coming for quite some and is needed to fix the broken political system ( two party model, winner take all, gerrymandering, electoral college, appointed judges, mind boggling fetishisation of an obsolete document, remnants of slavery, to name just a few). I do sincerely hope it happens as bloodlessly as possible.<p>(I&#x27;m currently listening to the Revolutions podcast, specifically about the Russian Revolution and resultant civil war, and i find it <i>fascinating</i>. Living in such historic moments ( like a pandemic) feels weird. You&#x27;re there while history is being written, and heck, you might be an active participant! A blessing and a curse).
