In almost all scenarios there's no civil war, everyone loses then gets gobbled up by the new super power.

We're going to get the CCP treatment, if you fall out of line, you lose your social credit score and you can't travel anywhere, no one will talk to you for fear of their social credit score, no one will hire you, you will have nothing. All with some social justice spin to it. They don't need to keep you fat and happy anymore, unless you dedicate your life to their ends.

Asians are some of the most collectivist people on Earth, and there are technologies emerging right now that will enable massive scale shadow economies and trade. They can try that shit but there's going to be 10000x more "social credit fraud" and people just dropping into the shadow economies here versus in China (and it absolutely happens in China right now too).

Social justice doesn't have much room for growth either, normal people that can't be described as *ist in any reasonable way are getting sick of it because it's so feminine and insufferable.

All that has to happen for violent reaction is marked decrease in comfort, it's what's always gotten people to fight. Right now the vast vast vast majority of workaday white conservatives are at basically no risk of discomfort. It's still at the "irritation" phase.
