It’s already begun. There’s no north south divide. It’s between rich and poor. And the rich always win. Especially when they own the media and defund education. It’ll take generations to rectify. If it’s ever rectified. Maybe a world war to unite a nation. Even then, authoritarians have their man to destroy a once powerful nation. Without firing a bullet.
