Do you ever see a civil war or revolution starting in Europe?

[EazyT99]

Just wondering soon the refugee crisis is getting worst every year causing the far right to grow(by a lot actually especially in Germany) do you ever see a civil war or revolution starting?

[Mugwuffin]

What you describe is intentional social engineering by the ruling classes imo, also with with the economic manipulation, their readying the populations for WW3. I expect a European 'defence force' (army) will be called for and then national conscription.

E2a: spelling.

imo, if revolution isn't imminent, we're a broken species, with no return

Totally agree. If the lazy, indulgent middle classes who weight what they have to loose over maximising social good, don't wake up and realise that capitalism is killing us all, and the planet, we are doomed as a species.

But the funny thing is, the working class (and that's everybody who draws their living from labour, from the road sweeper to the GP) have forgotten what working class is; everybody wants to believe they're middle class; everybody who draws their income from their labour is working class; but for as long as the majority doesnt believe that, nothing will change.

It's interesting to see the change in people's beliefs in Ireland as a result of the collapse in house prices; frightening to think that an ethereal value, drawn from the ether by others has such an effect on a national psyche; what'll happen in the UK when the inevitable 50-80% drops happen?

"Europe" is imo a reference to a group of countries with a financial trade agreement.

on almost a daily basis the royal airforce intercept armed Russian aircraft and have to escort them out of British air space, Russia refused to leave Berlin until the collapse of the USSR, turkey collaborate with isis linked rebel/terrorist organisations within syria, Ukraine annexed by Russia , British built weapons used on civilians in Yemen by the Saudis, Germany dictating the economic destiny of Europe , yet Greece have people virtually starving whilst in France they piss and moan about having to work the same hours AS THE REST OF HUMANITY., we are culturally very different.

my point is this...... there will always be hostility ,mistrust and war go hand in hand.

Yes i do think that conflict is on the cards, no we will not see it coming.

eastern European countries and some of the southern Baltic states are candidates imo

People are too lazy,selfish and greedy to revolt,sorry I missed out dumb.

Its not actually capitalism though @@Hir

Its state capitalism, whereby risk and money are much cheaper for certain people. Look at the banks across the world, or the auto industry in the USA. They are bailed out by the public purse, the market doesn't correct itself. I think state capitalism is much worse, its not even a level playing field.

Personally, I think things will change, the age of the corporation is ending.

There was revolution in Europe in 2014

an uprising against oligarchic kleptocracy and massive state corruption, e.g. the state antiretroviral budget getting thieved, stashed offshore, and spent on London property

did you miss it?

2014 Ukrainian revolution

Until you can find an alternative political and economic system that increases human lifespan unabated, you'll have to live with what we've got now.

Panem et circenses. We will happily sit and watch The X Factor while the world burns. We will happily sit by while the rich cunts in parliament, who have never done a day's work in their life, take the bread from the mouths of the poor. As long as it doesn't affect the middle class. The rich get richer, the poor get poorer, the middle class get a little bit taken from them but not enough to matter, and it's the votes of the middle class that decide things. Civil war ? Never going to happen, as soon as any civil disobedience occurs wankers just go out, smash into shops and steal tellys And it wouldn't solve anything anyway, in this country at least, the rich (the people in power) are segregated from the hoi polloi, all a civil war will do is kill the poor and destroy where they live while the rich sit back and watch.

Tomorrow you're homeless, tonight it's a blast.

This same thread with the exact same thread title and the exact same opening post has been made on various forums and other such places over the internet, simply putting the thread title into google demonstrates this.

Is it you posting it everywhere?

[Sanatogen]

No civil war, a mixed muted reaction. Part of this will be migration away from these areas.
