Overemphasizing individualism


Individual rights are important but they should not be inflated over group rights, both biology and common sense tell us that the individual cannot survive without the group, and the evolutionary sciences have shown us that the group has been the primary unit of successful selection.

Human nature lines up well with biological or evolutionary conservatism, not with the overemphasized Romantic individualism of Rousseau. Human nature evolved to be 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.

When conservatives like Tucker Carlson attack “identity politics” by overemphasizing individualism, they encourage the same selfish narcissism in American culture and in the business world that has been ruining us.

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 much social disorder, because human nature is biological kin and ethnic centered and tends to want every group to assimilate away its uniqueness except its own.

Clueless modern liberals still promote both pluralist societies and universal equality. Conservative's do the same but try to bring in a neutered nationalism of creedal individualism rather than solid conservative biological bonds.

We need ethnostates for all ethnic groups or races in America, legally adapted from our Constitutional separation of powers and states, and then protected from marauding imperialists, supremacists, and global money grubbers, with a defensive federalism---in line with both biology and common sense.
