    Except this is also how the “democracy” that is modern day Russia was created. Everything that’s happened in the U.S. since ~2012 that has been driving us to the brink of collapse by furthering the divide between left and right has been eerily similar.

    Psychological Inoculation and Astroturfing: Preparing for exploitation of U.S. secession movements

    A lot of people don’t know this, bc it’s not exactly clear what they were doing there, but coincidentally the Heritage Foundation also seemed to play a role in the creation of the first free market in the earliest days of post-soviet Russia.

      …furthering the divide between right and extreme right has been eerily similar.

      Fixed that for you.

      thank you for not giving in to their rhetoric and letting this point die.

      i get endless downvotes on all social media anytime i say a civil war is the absolute fucking worst outcome of any of the current trends.

      guess people are just out for blood rn. i wouldn’t make it sound so innocent, tho. why are people out for blood? lots of answers, none satisfying enough.

        Take an up vote from me. Civil wars nearly always end in tragedy beyond the imaginations of those who start them.

        I believe the most obvious is they benefit (or at least believe they will benefit) from that outcome.

      The Heritage Foundation is a society of monarchists. It’s supported by oligarchs who want to be king to push the world towards that agenda, and such oligarchs routinely infuse it with capital.
