California professor and ex-CIA staffer claims that 'Christian, white men' are primed to start a civil war in America because they 'were once dominant and are in decline' - and blames the right for spike in violent extremism

A California professor and former CIA analyst said that white Christian men are poised to start a civil war in America

Barbara F. Walter, author of the 2022 book How Civil War Starts, made her inflammatory comments on PBS Tuesday evening while speaking with anchor Hari Sreenivasan.

Walter's remarks come just days before the midterm elections, which the left and right alike have been characterizing as a battle over democracy itself.

Sreenivasan asked Walter - who said she studied foreign nations on the brink of civil war for the CIA - how far off a war within the US could be.

Walter then went on to explain the past '100 years' showed that civil wars are typically started along divided religious and ethnic lines, when a previously dominant group begins to see their position wane.

She then went on to say that 'white men' who 'also tended to be Christian,' were beginning to see such a decline in their position in the US, and that they had 'almost exclusively' been the perpetrators of violent extremism in the country since 2008.

Walter is a professor of pacific international relations at the University of California San Diego. She describes herself as 'one of the world's leading experts on civil wars, political violence, and terrorism' on her website.

Her latest book claims that 'healthy democracies' tend to be safe from civil wars, but suggests the US is becoming increasingly unstable. Walter's website calls her book 'urgent and disturbing,' and says it is about identifying the signs of a civil war in the US in the hopes of avoiding one.

Elimination of most federal government alphabet agencies would greatly improve life for most humans.

This is what is called fear mongering. The Left is good at it.

Only 49% were brick throwers and arsonists so they were mostly peaceful.

There is nothing to do but truly hate people like this and if worse comes to worse just kill them without blinking. In those circumstances if most of the so called academicians are killed or driven out of the country it will give us some chance to destroy academia.

I have a lovely and beloved niece who attends UCSD and it breaks my heart to think she may be in danger of having her brain turned to mush by the likes of this so-called professor. Please pray for her.

They want to kill us all, but still feel the need for a face saving pretext.

An old, Christian white man-hating, 60s hippy feminazi. A “California professor”. Wow those are some credential to go along with that “CIA Staffer” gig.

White men don’t need to start a civil war. They need to stop voting for Democrats and presto, no more reverse discrimination.

She sounds like your typical female phallic symbol. One of those “gusty” wymyn Clintoon wrote about “while her daughter Chelsea jogged nearby.”

Just out of curiosity, has anyone seen white, middle class males out there rioting and causing mayhem???

Not only have I not seen it, but I’m thinking that white, working, middle class males are sort of hobbitish in their reluctance to get involved.
