@Colman I think that is probably a good estimate. Not just civil wars, though. War of any kind leaves long, long lasting scars on a populace.
Oh a happier note, 1/4 of all the young students in a class I once taught in Vietnam had some variation of the name Hòa bình - peace.
@Remittancegirl I think maybe civil wars are harder than those against “external” enemies.
@Colman @Remittancegirl Civil wars and any wars at all are a lot less likely to happen if you figure out a way to reduce the number of billionaires funneling money to fascists / nazis / francoists and the like. Ideal number: zero.
@Remittancegirl @Colman Adding to that, I think that should be one of the first items on the to-do list for any progressive movement, party, or leader who wants progressive democracies to exist in the coming decades.
