No war but class war.
All the the social issues we want to kill one another over are either CAUSED BY or greatly EXACERBATED BY the economic war we have fully lost.
Example: if the anti-abortion people actually wanted fewer abortions, they'd fight for UBI and living wages, as abortion is very often, correctly an economic decision, but we're only permitted a vote on the symptoms, not the cause, the massive owner class grift we call our economy. This is true for basically every social wedge to varying extents.
Want fewer prisoners? Want fewer homeless? Want fewer drug addicts, want fewer suicides, want better healthcare outcomes, want public Schools that aren't embarrassing? Cut the mega yacht class down to earth and feed the commons, which include the social supports Reagan/bush/clinton spent decades eviscerating into today's ruins.
