The condition of American democracy today


If we look at the condition of American democracy today with the ongoing protests and riots across the country, with four congresswomen known as 'The Squad' loudly calling for defunding or abolishing the police during the rioting, it makes me wonder if Ancient Greek democracy knew something we don't know when they excluded women, slaves, and foreigners from voting; but then I remember that a better way to judge democracy is to evaluate how well democracy accords with real human nature as defined by the science of sociobiology.

Real human nature doesn't harmonize well the Squad, who are affirmed by the leftist mainstream Media along with the cultural Marxism they espouse. It is the dwindling silent majority of mostly white Christians whose votes of restraint and common sense are keeping the country from utterly falling apart.

Human nature is is genetically kin-centered and ethnic-centered, even xenophobic, as well as being genetically gender defined, age-graded, heterosexual, marriage-making, hierarchical, and religious-making, with group-selection and ethnic selection as the primary unit of successful selection, followed by individual selection. The reality of multicultural multi-ethnic societies is that they are a zero sum game where the gain of one ethnic group is offset by the loss of another ethnic group.

Given real human nature, a true civil rights or natural rights movement would promote an ethnopluralism of ethnostates for all groups, black, white, brown, yellow, or red, with each ethnostate protected from marauding imperialists, global businesses, supremacists, Marxists, etc., defended by a defensive federalism.  An ethnopluralism of ethnostates could be established legally in the United States with our constitutional separation of powers and states. That is the most humane solution to our deepening identity crisis.

Then democracy and representative government might have a chance to work, at least in some of the ethnostates.
