I realize that the Post is part of the status quo establishment, but it’s pretty clear to those of us who are of empirical rather than ideological bias, that the editorial team’s FAILED to grasp the demographic and political shift away from consensus on ideology (a class competition) and toward higher tribalism (a clan competition).
1) All people vote their reproductive interests, and all reproductive interests are better satisfied within tribe than without.
2) Given that all ‘tribes’ are constructed out of people with different distributions of talents – some lower, genetically, socially, familially, and economically, and some higher genetically, socially, familially, and economically – and that these distributions of talents are determined by the differing rates of reproduction of their classes – societies MUST organize to compete militarily, economically, and politically, with the people that they consist of. Ergo, in an homogenous upward-redistributive society that has practiced eugenics for thousands of years (Northern Europe) you will get equalitarianism – because people are relatively equal in ability. If you look to south america, or india, where the underclasses breed rapidly, you will get a caste system. If you look to Arabia, where there is no upper or middle class you will get authoritarianism.
Ergo, if you attempt to build a heterogeneous democracy you will eventually end up with either a caste system (which we now have approximately by race).
So why should you expect to create a series of racial competitions and not produce authoritarians in every caste? (Jackson etc on the black, and conservatives on the white, and the emerging hispanic consensus, and the existing jewish consensus.)
All empirical governments grow. All ideological governments stagnate. The Neocon-Neoliberal era is done. Welcome back to the world of tribalism.
