Well . . . .
Hmmmmm...
Quote:Once the conversation really gets going (around minute 45), Yarvin makes clear that he has a highly idiosyncratic take on American history. In his view, roughly every 75 years, a "Caesar" seizes dictatorial powers and institutes "substantive regime changes." George Washington did this in 1789. Abraham Lincoln did it again in 1861. And FDR did it last in 1933, speaking in the closing passages of his First Inaugural Address about the national emergency of the Great Depression and the need to wield unprecedented government power to combat it, which he did with the New Deal.
And all three ended up in creating conditions where the USA had no choice but to engage in armed conflict - the War of 1812, the Civil war, and WWII, respectively.
So, if you want all-out war with somebody, this appears to me to be one way to go about getting it.
