This is not why it's done. It's done, because the seasons have changed, biblically speaking.

You have the Sun of Righteousness overhead from the Book of Malachi, Ch. 4, but even if you recognized the profundity of this, you have no answer to what is required of you. You don't even know where to begin.

Judgment has fallen even on the Jews now. They would know the answer, if they only looked to the teaching of their forefathers. Christ taught the correct wisdom, but was rejected. Catholics do not know the wisdom of Christ, because they substituted their own man-made teaching, founded on idolatry of the Church and Pope, for his. So they, too, are lost.

All religion started as man-made teaching.

Same applies to Americans, amigo. The French are arrogant no doubt, but they simply can’t compete with us when it comes to telling people to fuck off who don’t like us. It’s a big reason why even gun control advocates despise that weirdo fuck Piers Morgan

Not true. Many, perhaps even most, Americans now think western society is bad. They want to destroy it. This is simply not true in Oceania or Europe.

The United States future is that of South Africa.

Nothing but ignorance and fools on this board, except for a few.

But my jewish friends would understand the meaning of this: "ראש"

This is what is required to withstand the Sun of Righteousness. It is most rare.

And you fit in just fine; congratulations.

By the way, loved you in that parable about yourself and the tax collector.

The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the inequities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men. Blessed is he, who in the name of charity and good will, shepherds the weak through the valley of darkness, for he is truly his brother's keeper and the finder of lost children.

nah, this country survived 1968. The shit we've seen over the last 5 years is nothing compared to that


That was the period that gave birth to it. It reared its ugly head a few times since but not like this. Talk to the old 2nd wave feminists who were forced out in the early 70's of not just the groups, but out of their jobs in universities once they dared question some of the neo-marxist identity politics that 3rd wave feminism turned into. None of it has anything to do with equality. The numbers show that was achieved long ago as long as you try. Now we make excuses for simply not trying. For 40 years we have had nothing but a revolving door of the same leftist ideas in those schools. It's the same recipe as the economist conundrum. They all go to the same schools, graduate, do their time on Wall St or in the Fed and go back to teaching. Recycled ideas, cyclical bubbles and recessions.

Now it is trickingling down to grade school level. It shouldn't come as a shock to people as to how inept young people can be in areas that were considered 'native intelligence' just two generations ago. Generations have always complained about the younger generation but there were always truth to that and at some point it is absolute truth. We have reached that point. We are raising nitwits. Now we have politicians suggesting they have the answers because they managed to put together solid insults to hurl at Marco Rubio. A month ago we were wondering how they could be so stupid to be eating Tide Pods.


What we have now is that we are watching people try and destory the special recipe.


Have our tribes become more important than our country?

Quote:
America’s unique achievement, for Chua, is its emergence as a “super-group — the only one among the major powers of the world. We have forged a national identity that transcends tribal politics — an identity that does not belong to any subgroup, that is strong and capacious enough to hold together an incredibly diverse population, making us all Americans. This status was hard-won; it is precious.”

Of course, in practice, the ideal of an Americanness that transcends race and ethnicity and all the other categories can never be perfectly attained. But we can struggle to that end, and we have fought a very long way toward it, as I can attest: Here I am, in America, married to another man. Tribalism of both right and left endangers progress toward sharing the country. Worse, it endangers the idea that we should share the country. “At different times in the past,” Chua writes, “both the American Left and the American Right have stood for group-transcending values. Neither does today.”

Moreover, tribalism is a dynamic force, not a static one. It exacerbates itself by making every group feel endangered by the others, inducing all to circle their wagons still more tightly. “Today, no group in America feels comfortably dominant,” Chua writes. “The Left believes that right-wing tribalism — bigotry, racism — is tearing the country apart. The Right believes that left-wing tribalism — identity politics, political correctness — is tearing the country apart. They are both right.” I wish I could disagree.

Remedies? Chua sees hopeful signs. Psychological research shows that tribalism can be countered and overcome by teamwork: by projects that join individuals in a common task on an equal footing. One such task, it turns out, can be to reduce tribalism. In other words, with conscious effort, humans can break the tribal spiral, and many are trying. “You’d never know it from cable news or social media,” Chua writes, “but all over the country there are signs of people trying to cross divides and break out of their political tribes.”
