I think there are a lot of mean and stupid people with very binary moral thinking patterns. I have family in places where people are looking for a reason to instill violence.
Will there be a civil war? I actually suspect that violence is going to continue for a while, but that at this point the Americans inclined towards violence are too lazy, out of shape, stupid, and incapable of coordinating, that it will be more of a hot mess for a while than an actual war.
I've always thought about that, almost anywhere and everywhere that I've encountered racism or ethno-nationalism of some variety the people who believe they are some kind of "master race" often the very least fit for that imagined role, physically or mentally or intellectually, in fact its almost as though there is a correlate with this kind of thinking and being unfit. Its like the dreams of supremacy based on something such as accident of birth are a compensation for it even.
Its part of what's made me hate the supremacist thinking from day one. Its never based upon an observed fact, ie supremacy based upon elite performance or merit but accident of history or inherited privilege which is getting less and less defensible and more and more threatened by actual merit, performance, real superiority.
I've seen it within small business enterprises, corporate entities and communities, it doesnt have to be national or ethno-national in origin but its easily upscaled to that point. The whole Dunning-Krueger research on organisations and promotion and superiority within command structures tells all on this kind of thing I think. How the most fit individuals often remain subordinate because they misjudge their performance and the superiors remain superior because they do precisely the same thing.
As a socialist I tend to think of competition as suboptimal, wasteful and inefficient, especially in the age of complex AI for price calculation accuracy, but I can understand its popularity, especially when its rationalized as producing beneficient consequences for all and not simply the "winners". So if competition and performance were accounting for the supremacy of one class, group or ethnicity, I could at least understand its popularity in the public mind. Its not though. While its often rationalized that way its mere excuses for all the accidents, fortune and misfortune leading up to this point.
