Europe has been living like this for centuries during Medieval times. Inquisition, witch hunts, heretic burning, wars, plague... African tribes have been at war with each other for as long as we know them. It's a human fallacy and not some evil plan hatched by U.S. billionaires.

Besides, the billionaires will be fine, it's the middle class that will find themselves living in ghettos.

Right, US billionaires would never develop an evil plan like exploit violence to make money. Those actions are just African nature.

If China were to gain more power though, obviously they would steal the middle classes' wealth and force them into poverty.
