Religion and Ethnopluralism
This morning on the news when police
moved in at a hip-hop concert to stop black lawbreakers, one man
cried “You treat us like animals!” I suppose if a police chief
said: "When you break the law you act like animals,” that
would only cause another riot. But what can be done about the increasing
racial unrest we are seeing?
“Multicultural” societies are
inefficient in creating uniformity of purpose in the members of a
large motley group. Ethnic cultures share many of the same traits and
have better social coordination, which is why ethnic groups tend to
live near one another even in multicultural societies. Sure there are
arguments and even fights but ethnic societies are far more
coordinated than multicultural societies.
I think since we already tend to
naturally separate ourselves, we should do this formally, with a real
ethnopluralism, that is, small ethnostates and regions, which in
America could be legally accommodated by the separation of powers and states in the U.S.
Constitution. This is the most realistic chance we have of all
getting along together.
The task of preserving order and
tradition should be the mission of conservatives, but
multiculturalism goes largely unopposed by conservatives, perhaps
mainly do to the non-material equality of souls as seen in the
Christian Inward Path. This has caused some realists to reject
religion, or to go back to a partially revived paganism.
Science and the arts, and modern or
postmodern philosophy, mainly fathered by Nietzsche, have not offered
a living alternative to religion. All civilizations were founded in
religion and decline when religion declines, which we are now
increasingly seeing in the West.
Theological materialism and the Twofold Path can salvage religion, the basic elements and symbols of religion
are reborn and transformed. Inherent non-materialism has caused
religion to be unequipped to deal with real life over the long term.
This can be overcome in the biological and superbiological evolution
to real Godhood as affirmed in the Outward Path of theological
materialism, which was only symbolically experienced as the Father Within of the Inward Path.
Evolution can then continue in a more orderly way as each ethnic culture is affirmed in its own way, in its own space. It is time to at least start thinking of this.
