I really think he deserves a more nuanced description than that. He's not a guy, like Alex Jones, who believes has been calling for revolution for a decade. He thinks that civil disorder is a highly possible outcome IF things move along a certain path, but he doesn't arrive at that conclusion easily or eagerly. Again, in contrast to a conspiracy/Alex Jones type. He also doesn't star at civil unrest and then move back, making the situation find his desired out come.
But most of all, he's terrified of what might come, not eagerly embracing it and selling MRE chotchkies since 1982.
