The co-option and corruption of real human nature


Being kin and ethnic centered is at the origin of the altruism which we all claim as a virtue against selfishness. But it is not and never was a universal altruism, it is and always was kin and ethnic centered.

We learned to advance our kin and ethnic groups because they shared our same genes and genetic traits and we could not survive alone. This behavior was selected because it was most successful in survival and reproduction and became embedded in the biology of human nature, and remains today.

The far left, far right, and traditional religion co-opted and corrupted this real definition of human nature, claiming we are all universally altruistic and then demanding that we show no favoritism toward any group. Or the opposite claim was made that one group is superior to the others.

How are we to arrive at a solution to our differences and our social problems when we deny and even criminalize real human nature, as Europe has done, and as some in America want to do? Human nature is "racist" and ethnocentric, but that does not call for fascism or Marxism.

We need to develop an ethnopluralism of ethnostates to harmonize with what we really are as human beings---there are too many people on earth now to successfully claim only one people.  Radical revolution is not even necessary to do this, in the U. S. we can gradually and legally adapt the already existing separation of powers and states.

Looking truthfully at human history this is what happens anyway, but often violently, as empires always fall and break up into natural ethnostates, as the Soviet Union recently did. Can't we do this consciously rather than unconsciously and violently? I think we can, and will---but either way it will happen, because that it what we are, and that is what we do.
