Not following the motives for Civil War II

I'm still not completely grasping the severity of Ulysses here. So he has visions of the future and acts as an advanced warning system?

I don't get why this is such a huge deal and why its leading to such a grand scale event. Am I missing something bigger in this picture? I think high power telepaths are a bigger card

It's a huge deal this time because this time it's being used as a metaphor for racial-profiling and other security-versus-freedom stuff, whereas in previous stories about Marvel characters who could see the future, the power was just the power. So suddenly it's a huge deal and causing the sort of conflict that Madame Web and the like never did.

Compared to other powers, I think this is child's play. A high-level telepath capable of reading the minds of people and controlling them is far more dangerous than a Nostradamus on steroids

It's rare that people with prophetic visions get the correct interpretation and context of them.
As said, everybody is biased and those biases will be incorporated into any visions.
Self-fulfilling prophecies are a pain.
And then there's the potential misuse.

it's not a big deal, yet. Carol hasn't done anything morally ambiguous with the visions.

it wasn't just Ulysses who experienced the vision, this time around.

Yet no one distrust the sociopathic teenage Jean Grey.
