    You can only get your civil war if there are two clear sides, divisible by geography and cultural lines.

    When you just have a widespread, starving population, you get mobs and mass riots and government leadership dragged out of their homes and offices.

    I am not sure at all what their game is. I know they want the chaos but surely they can’t be so dumb that they think this will… oh yeah, lol caught myself there. They’re that dumb.
