Trump's instincts for borders and division are more humane than Obama's Marxist flim-flam about bringing all people together


Former president Barack Obama gave a typical holier than thou speech the other day implying that he is better than President Trump because he seeks to bring all people together and Trump seeks to divide people. That is the standard notion of both Marxism and modern liberalism. But it is deceptive flim-flam, whether its purveyors know it or not.

By the time of the advent of Homo-sapiens human nature had biologically or genetically become kin-centered, gender defined, heterosexual, marriage-making, hierarchical, ethnocentric, even xenophobic, and religious-making, among other things, with group-selection as the primary unit of successful selection, followed by individual selection. Human nature evolved to be that way because it was most successful in survival and reproduction in a very difficult world, and it advanced human genetic pools best.

Cultures can operate for a time with behavior that goes against real human nature, with such experiments as Marxism, but culture is eventually pulled back by the biological and genetic leash of real human nature to cultures that better reflect real human nature. Humans then work within and adapt to the environments they find themselves living in.

That defines the natural origin of our moral sense, and that is why human beings naturally divide and separate, and that is why it is hopeless to try to make distinctly different people live together in the same living space. That explains why the U.S. constitutional separation of powers and states, created by the Founders, works well with real human nature. And that is also why ethnopluralism is the most natural political configuration for humans beings to live within, protected with some version of federalism.

So Trump's instincts for borders and division are more real and more in sync with how human beings best live and survive, and even more humane, than Obama's universalist Marxist flim-flam about bringing all people together no matter how different they are, which leads to civic disruptions and even civil/racial war.
