Poll of the Day > Do you really think we will have a race/ethnic/religious World War?

(+) Yeah! (+)

- North Korea with the Nukes
- Middle East/ISIS
- Russia
- The stuff in Charoletteville (one of hotbeds of the Civil War back in the day)


Am I leaving anything out?

- Russia

lolno

I think America's might won't last forever, and when that day comes, all of the underlying problems currently held in check by the strong economy will boil to the surface and end in uprisings and bloodshed.

Unlikely. For starters, we don't have enough explicitly religious governments for that.

Which has nothing to do with race, ethnicity, or religion.

Yeah non of those are really race related.

no, the internet is just shining lights into places that haven't had light shone before. as long as light continues to shine (speech continues freely) the bad ideas should eventually shrivel up to the point of relative harmlessness.

this is one reason why things like net neutrality are important though. as TV dies and propaganda machines ("mainstream media") become less and less effective, there will be more and more desperate attempts to take control of the internet to be able to control the flow of ideas.

The only real problem from this is that the people that were once small groups or individuals now have the means to find many more like-minded troublemakers, be they Nazis or SJWs, etc.

A religion-fueled ware with the Middle East.

All of them at once. It's going to be a long week.

A world war is unlikely, more likely a single world conflict that quickly drops to the two most hot-headed (probably US and Russia) duking it out and the US launching another nuke.

I sure hope so, the world could use some thinning out.

Hoping some of y'all get drafted.

... they will be replaced by other propaganda machines ("extremist media") that hawk an even bigger gob of contemptuous spittle into the face of factual accuracy, smear opponents not just as wrong but as fundamentally evil people because they're opponents, dumb down complexity into black-and-white simplicity, twist non-issues into existential threats, demand radical solutions, and in general appeal strongly to people whose sole mental exercise consists of jumping to conclusions.
