Ethnogeography

The awkward word “ethnogeography” describes better than “geopolitics” the political dynamics of the world now and in the future. Globalism, with the elites in the West thinking that they could control the world, was a quixotic dream causing far more problems than it solved.

The bonds of blood, of ethnic groups, as we have been writing about here regarding the Ethnopluralism Hypothesis, along with the natural territories they live within, are, as always, the real movers and shakers of human behavior. We need to harmonize with this natural ethnogeography, which is actually happening now in spite of the dreams of the global elite, in the Ukraine, the Middle east, East Asia, Africa, etc. We also see it in the various rising separatist and secessionist movements in the West.

Decentralization of the globe, along with trying to maintain the standard rules of civilized law, is what we need to be supporting. Ethnogeography realistically establishes boundaries that can achieve whatever real harmony is possible in the world. Even in the United States decentralization back to the regions and states of the original Constitution needs to be connected to ethnogeography, within a light protecting federalism. We need to let people gather together in the groups they prefer to live with—group selection remains the primary natural unit of selection---and stop trying to block this behavior with damaging dreams of globalism, or world consumerism with a culturally Marxist twist, which only advances a tiny few in the short term.
