Economic nationalism and populism are rising now but if birth and immigration trends continue in democracies we will come to the next survival movement of an ethnopluralism of ethnostates

That-which-must-not-be-mentioned, the biological origin of social behavior, is showing its power as economic nationalism and populism are rising in the West, with the victorious Trump phenomenon and with the Brexit withdrawal of the United Kingdom from the European Union.

But while democracies are now voting for economic nationalism and populism, statistical data relating to the population and particular groups within it, or demographics, show us that economic nationalism and populism is largely a white ethnic movement which instinctively knows that it is dying faster than being born.

If birth and immigration trends continue as they have been in democracies, economic nationalism and populism will soon be turned away by non-white ethnic voters who tend to vote for government programs that enhance themselves---and the biological origin of social behavior is usually a zero-sum game in which one groups gain is equivalent to another’s loss.

So the present economic nationalism and populist movement is a stop gap, a temporary way of dealing with a problem in democracies that satisfies mainly a white survival need, which will soon be outvoted in democracies.

But that-which-must-not-be-mentioned, the biological origin of social behavior, is strong and the next movement on behalf of survival will probably be a movement toward regionalism, localism, ethnostates, and finally an ethnopluralism of ethnostates.

The beauty and fairness of an ethnopluralism of ethnostates is that it overcomes the zero-sum game in which one groups gain is equivalent to another’s loss. For example, in the U. S. this could be accomplished not by way of radical revolution but through adapting---not overturning---the U.S. constitutional separation of powers and states. Each group tends to be better off in the long run living in their own natural way in ethnostates, protected from marauding imperialists, supremacists, and global money grubbers, by a light federalism.
