We're due and ready. China seems ready, too, and without them we're ready for civil war on our own. It's tragically, unfortunately true, that a (big) war would be like a reset... economic rebuilding follows, but in what kind of society and economic organization would then be the question.
I think a civil war is exactly what the CCP wants (obviously) and is fomenting. It would destroy us. Ww3 would probably unify us, but carries huge risks. Fun times.

- ilaksh 6y agoTo be clear, I believe that wars are tragic and criminal, and that humans have always at least pretended to be better than animals. But wars bring humans down to the level of ant colonies. We really are better than ants though. And individual human lives have value. There is no reason for war to resolve our technical issues. The economy is a technical and logistical problem.
