We do have the checks and balances within our system of government to avoid an actual war but will we use them for that purpose?
So, I'm looking at what is happening in our nation and wondering whether what is coming is actually a social revolution or a physical revolution as well.
The economics of our country are not supporting the middle Class and poor they way they like to be supported. However, if you look around the world (something that 70% of the American people don't tend to do much) you can see financially we are better off than any other nation on earth in many respects.
However, I'm not sure you can say the average person is better off than places like Germany, Sweden, Norway or France because they are Social democracies. So, the U.S. upper middle class and rich are much better off than most countries but not the middle class, lower middle class and poor.
So, because of not having enough knowledge about what is going on in other countries the ignorance of many people in the hinterlands of America might precipitate an actual revolution just because not enough is studied about to come to better conclusions.
However, this could also be said about revolutions around the world at this time including the one in Syria and Iraq where many people have no idea what is going on at all and move on entirely false premises.
But, when you feel your survival is threatened for any reason worldwide whether this survival is accurately being threatened or not, people tend to strike out which is where we are here in the U.S. as well right now for many people.
