** 30-Mar-2020 World View: Civil war
If you're going to make a claim like that, you really are obligated to
provide some real evidence, beyond your personal feelings. Are Latino
newspapers threatening a civil war? Is there a nationwide Latino
organization preparing for a civil war? Are there any Latino militias
training people to fight whites?
In fact, you've got the logic of the situation completely backwards.
In countries where there's an ethnic civil war, it's preceded by
decades of intermittent violence triggered by massive discrimination
and marginalization of the ethnic group.
But you're painting a completely different picture -- "Latino
immigrants and even 2nd generation anchor babies who have grown up on
welfare and be given everything for free." This is the complete
opposite of the conditions that lead to civil war.
The logic of civil war is that a poor ethnic group is kept in poverty
by a wealthy ethnic group, and the poor people protest with sporadic
violence, and the government starts calling them "terrorists" and
locks them up, beats them and tortures them, leading eventually to
civil war.
But nothing like that is happening in America. And the Latinos who
are getting everything for free are smart enough to understand that
attacking the government in response to a coronavirus outbreak that's
an existential threat to the whole country is not going to get them
back all their free stuff. To the contrary, the concept of
"regeneracy" and uniting behind the leader applies to them as well,
and they'll also help in fighting the common enemy.
So if you claim that Latinos are going to launch a new civil war, then
you have an obligation to provide real evidence of planning for such a
civil war. Not only have you NOT provided any such evidence, I've
given you several reasons why such plans do not exist and don't even
make sense.
