That which has been tearing us apart could put us back together again


It took the whole history of humanity to discover the counter-intuitive idea that we could stop polio, measles, etc, by infecting people with a strain of the virus that taught the immune system how to fight the disease.

A similar counter-intuitive, or counter-popular-culture idea was discovered for stopping or at least better controlling human social and ethnic disruptions and that was the knowledge that we could fight racism best by admitting that human nature is and always has been racist, or genetically kin and ethnic centered, so we could therefore affirm ethnocentrism rather than fight it. This also brought forward the idea of affirming ethnostates and an ethnopluralism of ethnostates for all groups as the most natural solution to racism. A wise man said, that which has been tearing us apart could put us back together again.

That idea has been blocked by leftists, but also by conservatives who have other views of human nature. Leftist think human beings are all the same and equal and therefore ethnocentrism is evil, and conservatives believe that human nature is fallen from universal love and therefore ethnocentrism is evil.

Ironically those who are most against racism and ethnocentrism are usually doing so for ethnocentric reasons; they use the charge of racism to block other groups and to advance their own group, consciously or unconsciously. So the ethnocentrism of human nature prevails in any case.
