How we can conservatively retain the American union as we deal with our increasingly ethnically diverse society?
Some
of the loudest voices raised against ethnocentrism are the most
ethnocentric groups. But the whole business of the melting pot and
then the pluralist society went against the biological origin of
social behavior and basic human nature. These social experiments were
probably mostly due to ignorance, although some knowingly promoted
assimilation to try to take away the bonds of competing ethnic groups.
The
melting pot didn't melt and when that didn't work the American
mosaic, or pluralist society, took its place, but that didn't work either
and caused social disorder, because human nature is biological
ethnocentric and tends to want every group to assimilate except its
own.
Clueless
modern liberals still promote both pluralist societies and universal
equality apparently not noticing the contradiction. Conservatives do
the same but try to bring in a neutered nationalism of creedal ideas
rather than biological bonds.
Universalist
humanitarianism and equality are “unable to sustain high levels of
in-group cooperation.” (Ed Dutton) Computer modeling of such
battles has demonstrated conclusively that ethnocentric strategies always triumph. "The genes hold culture on a leash. The
leash is very long, but inevitably values will be constrained in
accordance with their effects on the human gene pool.” (Edward O.
Wilson)
How
can we conservatively retain the American union as we deal with our
increasingly ethnically diverse society? That is, can we avoid
radical revolution and yet adapt to the increasingly combative racial
and cultural differences in America?
We
can adapt our Constitutional separation of powers and states to a
deeper sociobiological knowledge. If
real kin and ethnic-centered human nature is allowed to be what it
is, it would naturally lead to regionalism, localism, general
conservative values, eventually ethnostates, and finally an
ethnopluralism of ethnostates, protected from marauding imperialists,
supremacists, and global money grubbers, with a defensive federalism.
A
tough realty to face, but it won't go away by avoiding it.
