An ethnopluralism of ethnostates in America is far better then dying like Ancient Rome


John Adams was right when he said that our democratic Constitution was made only for moral and religious people and would not work well with another type of government. As America became secular it developed great national debt, imperial overreach, morally laxity, self-centeredness, and perhaps most importantly, America become a multicultural and multiracial mismatch of competing values and cultures.

The greatest influence dealers in Washington are now the Wall Street lobby, the fossil fuel lobby, and the Israeli and Saudi lobbyists, who often pay off and threaten corrupt government officials and representatives to get them to take actions that are completely against the interests of our nation. So is our constitutional democratic republic finished? I don't think Adams saw this multicultural, multi-ethnic, lobby-led nation coming; his world looked to be permanently Anglo Saxon and protestant.

What can we do? Well, we don't need to become radical revolutionaries on the right or the left. Real tradition, or real conservatism, values both what was necessary in the past and also includes a place for change, as Burke and others more or less pointed out. Human nature remains the same as it was in John Adams time, kin-centered, gender defined, age-graded, heterosexual marriage-making, hierarchical, ethnocentric, even xenophobic, and religious-making, among other things, with group-selection as the primary unit of selection.

We could save America after-all. I think the U.S. Constitution could accommodate the political/cultural solution of an ethnopluralism of ethnostates, in harmony with real human nature. That is a subject that very few traditional conservatives will talk about, although the radical right will talk about it. But an ethnopluralism of ethnostates could be accomplished conservatively, perhaps with only a few amendments to the constitutional separation of powers and states. We would need to retain some kind of federalism to protect the independence of the ethnostates, and also because we need the geopolitical heft of a large nation to defend ourselves in the big world.

It will not be easy, those who benefit from our destruction will fight it, but an ethnopluralism of ethnostates in America is far better then dying like Ancient Rome.
