Can there be a return to a bottom-up mass American identity that government only 'responds' to? Or will this tribalism only increase, the USA becoming a hodge-podge of top-down government-generated groups with superficial 'ersatz' ethnic & other markers being herded around by parasitic Elites, said Elites populated by incompetent narcissists like Obama? On the other hand, history is never the sum of current trends. It is not predictable. There will be unexpected departures from this trend that a courageous leader could latch onto and use to inspire Americans. Isn't that what Lincoln did? The currents and cross-currents in Lincoln's America must have made for a very bleak future, yet it was his vision that prevailed.Stephen J Carterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14250355497674756363noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11368628.post-16802371641892122352012-10-12T13:45:45.972-04:002012-10-12T13:45:45.972-04:00Tribal warfare with spears or even guns is one th...Tribal warfare with spears or even guns is one thing, such wars with the tech that is quickly becoming available on a smaller budget have is quite another.<br /><br /> We had better get this in hand before we end up repeating another mass culling cycle of humanity and turn humanity over to the flour beetles.

Sirens and flashing lights going off constantly. There are bomb gates and police everywhere, and in front of the White House, I stumbled into a Muslim protest consisting of them screaming about how peaceful they are. In the end, I felt like an intruder in my own country, caught up in some surreal landscape like the last scene in the original Planet of the Apes where Charlton Heston sees the top part of the Statue of Liberty sticking out of the mud.

A homogeneous country works because of tribalism, not in opposition to it.

Not as a nation at any rate. It is in their words the world's most perfect society ever because it is no society at all. There is no Sweden. Sweden is a tax collector bolted on to a social welfare ATM. The nation, such as it is simply exists to carry out some regulatory stipulations about wealth reallocation. There is no language, history, culture, shared values, identity. Nothing. Why else is Sweden the target of choice for Muslims flocking the Europe? Because no one is required to do anything but show up. Keep your language, keep your values, keep your quaint ancient traditions, hatreds, bigotries, insularity, identity, fears, and whatever tools of social violence and repression you brought over with you from the old country. You don't need a job, you don't need to go to school, you don't have to obey or follow any laws or standards at all. And we will pay you because there's still someone who has more and who clocks in every day that we can take from them and give to you. <br /><br />We have solved the problem of illegal immigration because there's no immigration at all, not in the sense most people think. We don't expect or want you to 'become Swedish' because there is no such thing to be. What would 'Swedish' look like? A man in a sweater behind a counter giving out blank forms and accepting filled out forms for some benefit or another? Are the forms in Arabic, Pushtun, Urdu or Farsi? Yes? Then you don't even need the man in the sweater who probably is a holdover from the old days and doesn't understand those tongues anyway. Is Sweden a cop who listens patiently to a woman who says she was gang raped and then does nothing and tells her to get lost or they'll be trouble? Is Sweden the vast tracks of places inside Malmo where the police, fire and ambulance are no longer allowed to go because of violence or threats of violence? <br /><br />That's Sweden. There's only comfort. Comfort we will get someone else to underwrite for as long as it lasts. There's no need to worry about integration. You don't even have to vote if you don't like because the government doesn't matter and doesn't change and if it doesn't do what you like, just ignore it. We don't care. <br /><br />Obama 2012: The Sweden we all could be.Empress Trudyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06073538968722986065noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11368628.post-48843081578158148802012-10-08T05:59:08.602-04:002012-10-08T05:59:08.602-04:00Tribalism appears to come and go in waves, like mo...Tribalism appears to come and go in waves, like most every thing does in our temporary world. In ancient times the next village was the enemy, than like quicksilver drops more and more unity, mostly out of economic necessity, appeared to become the fashion. The New World Order's idea is that all drops shall unite, but apparently there is a natural limit on uniting to the extent that after a certain point internal tensions start to reverse the principle. The United States was one rare society that for the longest periode gave the impression that varied tribal absorption would work, due to little outside pressure on the bonding (contrary to Europe) and a lot of communality in the creation of individual wealth, but even there, due to the diminishing aim the cracks are starting to show ever more.mindRiderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12160934421830568737noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11368628.post-6129812273368016352012-10-08T02:47:57.828-04:002012-10-08T02:47:57.828-04:00The strenght of tribalism is testament to the weak...The strenght of tribalism is testament to the weakness of the Left. Tribalism as well as sectarianism are rising across the world. In multicutural societies, people tend to vote among tribal lines. Only in more homogenous countries, people tend to vote for "Left" and "Right".<br />The Left today is reduced into arguing which ethnicity/race is better(non-whites better than whites etc.), or which religion is better (Islam better than Christianity etc.) Thus there is no difference between what the Left is saying and what third world nationalists and sectarianists are saying. <br />Due to the enduring strenght of identity, and the failure of the Left to crash it, now Left wingers are forced to transform into Third World nationalists. The future of the Left is represented by people like George Galloway and Ken Livingstone, who were forced to adopt more tribal/sectarian rhetoric due to reality on the ground.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11368628.post-82293841838996219212012-10-07T20:23:40.950-04:002012-10-07T20:23:40.950-04:00Great writing and thinking!
