You don’t need to be big enough to launch an actual civil war in order to cause significant economic damage and psychic panic, particularly in a developed nation where people aren’t used to infrastructure disruptions.
Maybe you lot should quit trying to reawaken white racial consciousness and just put all those statues into museums and rename the parks after other suitable historical figures (pre civil war ones might be a good choice), not that the statues are really the chief cause, they’re just a point of friction for it to surface.
Either give up on collective intergenerational ethnic justice, or give up on shifting the demographics. You can’t have both and not get a rise in ethnonationalism, seeing as it involves yelling “you are [ethnicity]! You are not allowed to identify as anything other than [ethnicity]!”
Supposedly you guys were all-powerful before, but you got an orange internet meme elected President as backlash which you lot said wouldn’t happen, and at this rate he may well be re-elected.
Like, I don’t think you guys understand just how fragile modern civilization, with its economically efficient just-in-time logistics, is.
Those radical Muslim bombers and van attackers? We’re very lucky that they’re doing it for self-gratifying glory about some mythical martyrs’ afterlife. Attacking concerts and random people in the street isn’t how you start a race war or a civil war.
People need to be desperate.
I don’t want to go into it, because I don’t want to give anyone ideas, but we have been very lucky that most terrorists so far have been either crazy, ideology-huffed, or morons.
Now, if I were in charge, we’d have all sorts of mechanisms in place to prevent people from becoming desperate in a variety of situations, including the predicted Pacific Northwest quake that’s expected to come some time this century. But hey, I’m just some lunatic, right?
