‘CLANNISHNESS’ AND ‘TOLERANCE’ ARE SITUATIONAL GOODS.
AFIK the ‘clannishness’ sentiment increases with diversity in temperate climes, and decreases in homogeneity in cooler.
This is because in warm climes others are resource competitors, while in cold climes others are insurance against the environment.
(thinking…) Despite what you’d think. Out-group antagonism is a superior evolutionary strategy as long as you breed faster than competitors (islam).
(thinking…) We tend to think that tolerance is a good, but it is only a good as long as it increases our numbers faster. (christianity).
We europeans tend to practice low clannishness, high tolerance, but low birth rates. This is a terrible evolutionary strategy.
In fact, it’s suicidal.
