Burke and Kirk didn't emphasize enough the political significance of kin and ethnic group

Businessmen aren't constructed to be statesman, his/her interest is in making money, they don't spend much time with philosophy or learning statecraft. The reason we have a businessman as President now is because we have had such lousy politicians.

For example, both liberals and conservative's agree that having multicultural multi-ethnic societies is a good thing and both shout racism and bigotry if you disagree with them or point out that human nature has been affirmed throughout human history to this day as being mainly kin-centered and ethnocentric, as well as being gender defined, heterosexual, territorial, and even xenophobic, with group-selection as the primary unit of successful selection, followed by individual selection.

Are our politicians stupid, cowardly, or both? Or are they just venal, on the take, and amoral? Some of each I would say, with very few exceptions; the courageous politicians have been labeled racist, bigoted, etc, and destroyed by venal politicians, the amoral Big Media, Hollywood, and our academic faculties.

So what can we do about it? We can become the little platoons that Burke talked about, proceeding towards a love of our country, but more directly toward a love of kin and ethnic group. Burke and Kirk didn't emphasize enough the political significance of kin and ethnic group. The affirmation of real human nature instinctively and reasonable leads not to multicultural multi-ethnic societies but toward ethnostates, and ideally an ethnopluralism of ethnostates. That is what defines or should define the values of real liberalism, real conservatism, and real politicians.
