Anxiety, disorder, and ethnotherapy
Russell Kirk talked about
how anxiety in the modern world has to do with disorder in private
existence and disorder in social existence---renewing ourselves may
have more to do with renewing order in our societies than it does
with psychotherapy.
Usually societies don't
renew themselves or bring order because a few intellectuals tell them
to. Only at “the hour of their destruction” do societies renew
themselves---Kirk had in mind the renewal of the fall of Rome by the
Christian faith.
I remember awhile back a
new therapy called “ethnotherapy” which seems to have been
buried, even though, of course, it had more to do with the special
needs and concerns of particular ethnic minorities fitting in with
our multicultural societies.
My suggestion regarding private and
social anxiety and disorder is that we stand in need of an “ethnotherapy” that sees
the need for ethnostates, or an ethnopluralism of ethnostates, and admits the reality that multicultural societies don't work in
protecting minority or majority ethnic/racial groups, and so
multicultural societies create anxiety and disorder---and natural competition and even
civil war can tear us apart. Real human nature is genetically kin
and ethnic centered because that was, and remains, most successful in
survival and reproduction, and successful in creating longer lasting societies.
The question is will this
renewal happen only at the hour of our destruction? How much of the
old order can we retain in the process? I believe an ethnopluralism
of ethnostates or regions could be established legally in the United
States with our constitutional separation of powers and states,
protected by federalism. That's the classical conservative way to alleviate
much of our private and social anxieties and disorders.
