What the far left and far right don't want to believe is that they have already lost their powergrab in history. Like starving dying wolves they wait for the bloated diseased body of democracy to finally keel over and die while they sweep in for the kill and set up their own "utopias". What they don't realize is that democracy (at least in the United States) won't die unless a catastrophic event on a scale mankind has never seen before happens to the nation. Then they will inherit nothing but ruins that are almost worthless. The wolves may finally eat their meal, but it won't be enough to sustain them.
They lost their battle in the mid-late 20th century. They might be able to set up societies across the world that will inevitably fall, but they will never take control of the USA. If people honestly believe such 1984 hellholes are what's best for them then by all means move somewhere else and make it.
I do not believe nationwide segregation will come back.
I'd go a step further and say that carving up the United States into multiple different nations based on ethnic and/or ideological grounds seems to be a much more plausible scenario than it used to be.
Ethnic diversity within a nation inevitably breeds conflict, and the only way to really keep things under control is with a strongman dictator being in charge of things: as we saw with Tito in Yugoslavia and Saddam in the Middle East, once they were removed from power, things went to hell in a handbasket as the various ethnic groups that were under their control started slaughtering each other. In that regard, ethnic separation would be preferable to avoid such a situation and having to live under an oppressive regime.
In the US context, I think that a lot of the ethnic tensions that we have today can be traced back to the 1965 Hart-Cellar Immigration Act, which allowed people from third-world nations to immigrate to the country. Unlike the immigrants before, who were of European stock and readily assimilated with the European-descended natives, many, and dare I say most, of these new migrants did not do so readily, and have never really ever assimilated at all. Simply put, these groups and Europeans build fundamentally different societies, which leads to a lot of this ethnic tension as their ways of life collide with each other.
The way I see it, there are three ways that the US could prevent heading towards the sort of catastrophe that befell Yugoslavia in the future:
- Close off all immigration. or go back to only letting in Europeans.
- Allow the country to be ruled by a secular strongman dictator like Tito, Saddam, or Assad who can keep the peace between all the different ethnic groups.
- Divide the country into ethnostates based on population densities of the various ethnic groups (i.e., whites get the regions that are already most white, blacks the ones that are most black, etc.), including a multiracial one for people not comfortable with segregation.
Of these options, the first and third are the most preferable for me, but I'll admit, both are unlikely at this point in time, although if things keep going the way that they do, it'll be too late for the former and we'll have to go with the latter just to prevent any sort of ethnic cleansing from occurring.
I would say that you are wrong. You might have had a case while Civil Rights was in full swing (which had way worse ethnic tensions than what we have now) but dividing the United States into ethnostates based on the majority population living there wouldn't work and is currently impossible for multiple reasons.
1. Who would accept it? Imagine living in your town with your own house for decades just for some jackboot to tell you "yeah I need you to move across the entire country. Why? Oh because some people don't like their black neighbors, and so we assume you don't too." If someone wouldn't let the government take their guns why the hell would they let them take their home?
The government needs to provide me with TRIPLE of what my house is worth and assure me that I could find a similar paying job to even consider moving on their behalf. You can take my home from my cold dead hands. I am sure many people feel the same way too.
2.Blacks are only the majority in a handful of US cities and counties. Yet shoving all of them across the country into those same cities or into the "multicultural" nation would not be a very good idea.
Not only would you be displacing people hundreds of miles, they would also have to restart their entire lives in a place that may not even be able to support them. The same goes for any other non-white race, or even white people that do live as a minority in certain areas.
3.A dictatorship is not what even half of the American people want. The government needs power, but to put it all into the hands of one man that will eventually die will not fix anything longer than the next 20-80 years depending on how long he lives. It is also extremely anti-American.
The American people are used to a myriad of freedoms that have been apart of this nation since it's foundation, and it would be really unpleasant for the person that strips them away
4. The multicultural nation would be the largest and most powerful one. Contrary to what people on the internet think most human beings do not actively dislike their fellow man regardless of race. Sure some people might not tolerate other races as well as their own, but that doesn't mean they can't STAND to be near them.
We will solve the ethnic tensions by talking about them in a calm and civil manner. We do not fix it by reeeeeeeeee'ing at white men. We do not fix it by re-segregating society or by building ethnostates. We do not fix it by treating some races with kids gloves and not talking about the elephants in the room. If we can get through a Civil War and Civil Rights without tearing the country apart then we can get through much more.
If someone wants to be around people of only their race they can move to a area where their race makes up 98-99% of the population, not force everyone else around them to do it too.
