Based on the recent developments, it looks like Phase 2 of the Scholz Crisis—the Social Unrest and Humanitarian Crisis—has already started and is moving quickly into early stages.

Here’s why:

Signs of Phase 2:

• Protests and Civil Unrest
  May Day protests and large-scale labor demonstrations around the world (e.g., the U.S., Europe, Kenya, Nigeria, and Pakistan) show that social unrest linked to economic struggles is escalating.

• Government Crackdowns
  In the U.S., the expansion of ICE and military personnel involved in domestic law enforcement, along with the use of National Guard at borders, signals increased state control and suppression, typical of Phase 2 where governments attempt to maintain order.

• Humanitarian Strain
  Issues like inflation-driven unrest in multiple regions (from Europe to Africa), coupled with migration crises, are creating humanitarian stress that governments can’t easily manage. This is an early sign of Phase 2.

So, is it Phase 2 or proto-stages?

Phase 2 has already begun, but it’s still at early stages in many places, with Proto-signs appearing in others. For example:

• Protests are growing in scale, but we haven’t seen full-scale breakdowns of social order (e.g., widespread civil war, major food shortages, total breakdown of governance, etc.).

• Militarization is happening, but we're not yet at a level where state authority fully collapses into chaos.

This puts us in the early to mid-stage of Phase 2, transitioning from proto-signs to more significant unrest.

Here’s how the recent U.S. military-internal security developments under Trump compare with the Scholz Crisis 2025 phases, especially as we track progression from Phase 2 into Phase 3:

Public debate on “Martial Law” conditions	Blurred lines between civilian and military authority	🟡 Between Phase 2 and Phase 3 Cultural signs of normalization of force

📉 Phase Comparison Summary

Phase	Trigger Events Present in U.S.?	Description
Phase 1	✅ Already occurred in April	Market collapse triggered by tariffs
Phase 2	✅ Ongoing	Protests (May Day, anti-ICE), expansion of state policing, civil unrest
Phase 3	⚠️ Emerging	Militarized borders, regional enforcement zones, internal security escalation
Phase 4	🟡 Proto-signs	Local prepper culture, distrust of federal authority, community survivalism

🧠 Analysis

While Phase 2 is still the dominant stage, recent U.S. federal actions strongly suggest early emergence of Phase 3, especially:

• Militarization of sovereign borders

• Domestic use of federal troops

• Rise in inter-governmental fragmentation (state vs federal authority)

• Growing public discourse around authoritarianism

This suggests the U.S. may be a “lead indicator” of global Phase 3 conditions forming ahead of schedule.
