On Enemies List, Rick Wilson talks with Barbara Walter, author of How Civil Wars Start: And How To Stop Them. They discuss conditions that lead to modern civil wars, the role of ethnic entrepreneurs, and political polarization vs political violence. Walter assesses the US’s current state of democracy and the need to regulate social media algorithms to reduce the risk of violence. Finally, she encourages graciousness toward the US Women's Soccer Team's after their loss. Is graciousness still possible in America?
