Homo mendacem rather than Homo sapien

I know that social niceties, little polite lies, oil the machinery of human social life, but political correctness (cultural Marxism) and “wokeness” have taken the social lies to the point where honesty reemerges, which may be why we now see populist nationalism and identity politics (ethnocentrism) reemerging.

It might be less charitable but more accurate to call Homo sapiens lying man, Homo mendacem, rather than wise man.

The deep phoniness of modern liberalism and the deep phoniness of liberals begins and ends with their ignorance or denial of the biological origin of human social behavior and real human nature, which gives the lie to their entire worldview and makes their social persona a ridiculous act.

The biological origin of our social behavior, as empirically explained by the evolutionary sciences and sociobiology actually ends the intellectual defense of modern liberalism and postmodern relativism, but phony modern liberalism and phony liberals, busy with their woke act of calling everything about real human nature evil, still don't know it because they have been thoroughly brainwashed in our schools and by the media.

Human nature has been affirmed throughout human history to this day as being universally kin-centered, gender defined, age-graded, heterosexual marriage-making, hierarchical, ethnocentric, even xenophobic, among other conservative things, with group-selection as the primary unit of successful selection followed by individual selection. As long as we are alive every cell in our body demands survival and reproductive success. This natural activation can be blocked, subverted, or it can be unknown to us, but it can't legitimately be intellectually or instinctively denied.

This strongly suggests that if real kin and ethnic-centered human nature is allowed to be what it is, it would naturally lead to regionalism, localism, eventually ethnostates, general conservative values, and finally an ethnopluralism of ethnostates. 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, and then protecting the ethnostates from marauding imperialists, supremacists, and global money grubbers, with a defensive federalism.

But will the smugness and deep phoniness of modern liberals be moved toward a reemergence of honesty? Maybe not. In any case populist nationalism and identity politics are reemerging.
