    Interesting article, but it doesn’t mention modern day propaganda and misinformation being disseminated on mainstream and social media. Status quo elites are doing more than just backing Donald Trump and Boris Johnson.

      My immediate thought is that that’s not true, and that tribal disputes over territory aren’t necessarily class-based. I guess perhaps you could frame it as: the class structure in the aggressor is what prompted the dispute, despite the defender being an egalitarian society?
