This kind of clarity is most welcome. Many of us acknowledge this "civil war" but have no the ability to articulate it in terms that average Joe/Jane Doe can understand. This war is a multi-decade war that's been fought in the shadows for too long. They've become embolden with great amassed wealth and the puppets they put in place using their "dark money", i.e. Johnson, Trump, Orban, Modi, Morrison, et al. In Canada the extreme RW Conservative Party formed by Stephen Harper, now head of IDU, tried and failed but is still pulling the strings of the party even now. Destroying social democracies is their primary agenda with absolute power their ultimate final goal. It is truly a global concern and should NOT be drowned out by either of these War Lord or Domestic Capitalists.
Another tool that is used by those seeking to autocratically rule is "populism". There's a lot to dissect with populism which is now being used as a wedge to divide social democracies. For years RW Conservatism has been destroying the electoral rights, obligations and processes of each citizen's "one vote", and we're now left with the angry "mob" or populism that will blindly follow, like lemmings, these extreme agendas over a cliff as they vote against their own best interests.
Capitalism, either War Lord or Domesticated, is the tool that dark money uses to keep the populace angry, hungry and frightened. Reagan and Thatcher's embrace of "trickledown" began the modern push to this civil war. But, eyes are opening, minds are inquiring, seeking and reality is striking at every step now. We are Woke.
