whenever anyone says the next civil war will be the haves versus the have nots i tell them BS- its going to be those that do (take responsibility for themselves) versus those who won’t (take responsibility for themselves)...
I recommend Tom Chittum's book on the subject "Civil War II". He lived in Yugoslavia when it came apart, and it made him do some serious research on what causes countries to go into civil war. One of his predictions is that if civil war breaks out in will inevitably turn into fighting along ethnic lines. (Kinda like voting...only more so.) I can't duplicate his reasoning here, but it's pretty compelling and worth the time to read.
He provides a checklist of things that indicate we are on our way to civil war. The book was published over a decade ago, and every day more of the stuff on the checklist shows up in the news.
No doubt. Prison populations self-segregate along racial lines. Prison is similar to war insofar as violence can erupt at any time, so people are always wary and form defensive bonds.
