1. Divisive, but relatively mild 4T. (The American CW was divisive and severe).

...and most likely. We do have the losses characteristic of a 4T, but we don't have the property damage that we now associate with 'modern' warfare.
I don't see a huge heroic role for the Millennial generation this time. I also see Boomers living deep into the next 1T, but most significantly the rapacious plutocrats and executives will be put out to pasture, and the more militant figures of Boomer intellectual life will fade in favor of those that weren't so militant.

The ideal subject of totalitarian rule is not the convinced Nazi or the dedicated Communist but instead the people for whom the distinction between fact and fiction, true and false, no longer exists -- Hannah Arendt.
