"Governments like Israel and the USA promote hatred and bigotry in order to justify their violent war agendas. ... Hate and violence have been internalized into our cultures and politicians are chiefly responsible, as is the media."

And yet they inoculate themselves by (among a dozen other contradictions) jumping out front in preaching *against* hate.

Samuel Huntington was right: There is now a great "clash of civilizations". But it's becoming very clear that the one that matters, the one that now (in the anachronistic phrasing) "tries men's souls", is not the West vs Islam -- it's the West vs Neocons-Zionism, in which the latter has permanently martial mindset, and is only too happy to flush the West's Enlightenment down the toilet while singing its praises. Sometimes unwittingly, too often disingenuously.

Most of the rest of us have only begun to wake up. But the threatening "hot" version of American Civil War II, going beyond the now 22-year-long hybrid war of TPTB against Americans, is not going to divide red-blue the way the Neocons-Zionists think it will. It will be a lot more lopsided, and not in their favor. For example, the "inexplicably" growing number of MAGA POCs, as well as Matt Gaetz, MTG, and other "extreme" Republicans teaming with AOC and The Squad to release Julian Assange, are just two of a number of examples of these expanding "crossovers", disparaged in MSM as "nutcases thinking alike".
