The most humane solution to our deepening identity crisis


As people get more desperate they call for more radical political solutions. But that desperation does not necessitate radical political behavior on the right (fascism) or the left (communism) even though people increasingly long for law and order, moral clarity, and a familiar homogeneous culture.
 
Conservative traditions built up over centuries can't be overlooked because they helped us survive and prosper. But when real human nature is included in the diagnosis for a solution to the increasing divisions in America, that is, when it is understood that real human nature remains genetically and biologically kin-centered, gender defined, heterosexual, marriage-making, hierarchical, ethnocentric, even xenophobic, and religious-making, among other things, with group-selection as the primary unit of successful selection, then we can see that conservative traditions largely missed the biological origin of social behavior, and that lack is mainly responsible for the now violent divisions in America.

The conservative reaction to identity or ethnic oriented politics has been to see it as part of the evil side of human nature which must be suppressed in favor of a universal human nature under God. But race, gender, religion, and sexual orientation tend to eventually conform to the real human nature reflected in “identity politics,” which is why the “Alt-right” came to be. But the Alt-right tends to seek radical political solutions in answer to the people increasingly longing for law and order, moral clarity, and a familiar homogeneous culture.

A true natural rights or civil 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., and 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.
