We are, and have long been, in a global civil war, with the Haves (because they TAKE) on one side and the Have Nots (because they’ve been robbed) on the other. The Haves are aggressing because that’s what such people DO, and what makes them who they are. And the Have Nots are defending because that’s what peaceful people do when subjected to unprovoked attacks.
You can dig deeply down rabbit holes to discover dark secrets, and you can parse the gory details of the heinous crimes found, and I heartily encourage everyone to do just that with high energy and great enthusiasm and outrage, BUT.
BUT at the end of the day the civil war is what it is, and the civil war is between evil criminal authoritarians who intend to take EVERYTHING that you’ve got, and the good honest ordinary people who just want to be good honest ordinary people.
You could say that this civil war has been waged since the very beginning, and in a sense you would be right, but in the recorded history of Earth there has never been a dust-up quite like this one. If you are looking for a strategy with which to face it then I would suggest the following:
Pick a side and gird up for a long hot war that’s going to go all the way to the finish.
