      I’m not sure it is, we may well be walking into Civil War 2.0 though.

      I feel like a true reckoning after the first Civil War never happened. A whole bunch of traitors were allowed to go home, heads held high, and assume the reigns of power. The proceeded to rewrite the memory of what happened. Making it a story of honor and tradition instead of hate and exploitation. Every one of them should’ve had their lands confiscated and their leaders hanged. The land should’ve been given to freed peoples as reparations, 40 acres and a mule and all that.

        I think it is a mix of Reconstruction being cancelled and the perpetrators of the Business Plot going unpunished for their attempted coup of FDR.

        By just giving slaps on the wrist, the failsons of our society get to pass on their beliefs and resources to their children. We need to at least remove the latter. Their wealth can be used to fund our institutions, such as NOAA, CDC, FEMA, infrastructure, universal healthcare, and more.
