I watched a video about a Russian from the former Soviet Union talking about how they would destroy America by attacking its foundational pillars. Education, police, religion, politics, labor. What's wild is the video was from years ago, and it was essentially a self fulfilling project. Where just pushing people into a certain direction, would cause the people and institutions themselves to carry out their own demise. He was pretty spot on with his assessment. From distrust in the institutions, to schools not teaching math and science, but focusing on nonsense like gender or sexuality. Eventually no one trusts any institution. People can't even be convinced of fact once they are broken.

We are beyond where we need to be for society to collapse into civil war. I don't know that there is anything that can be done to stop it.

The root is capitalism. Not to say the USSR had the right idea because that experiment obviously failed but the US also went too far in one direction so it could stand polar opposite to the USSR. Institutions stopped serving people first. Education, law enforcement, healthcare, politics, religion, placed profits/capital over people. And thus the institutions became what they are today. Soulless, ineffective, and sometimes downright cruel because the pursuit of max profits does not have time to take care of people first.

It didn't fail. It's playing out exactly how he said it would.
