I’M A UNIVERSALIST (REALLY), I LOVE HUMANITY – AND ANGRY PEOPLE MAKE ME EXASPERA

I’M A UNIVERSALIST (REALLY), I LOVE HUMANITY – AND ANGRY PEOPLE MAKE ME EXASPERATED.
(my political position isn’t what you’d think.)

I’m a conservative libertarian anglo in the classical liberal tradition. Somewhere close to Jefferson. But what does that mean? It doesn’t mean I hate anyone. I’m frustrated by plenty of people classes, groups, and races. I’m Exasperated. Tired. Saddened. But I don’t do hate. And I’m (perhaps foolishly) optimistic. Christian “love” worked on me.

I advocate for universal ethnocentric nation-states because they produce the highest trust, lowest power distance, least internal adversity, and greatest tolerance for the production of commons and for redistribution. That’s why.

I advocate for learning the vast differences in group capacity for high trust polities, rule of law, participatory government, markets, and continuous competition, innovation, adaptation, and evolution.
I explain that western civilization is just ‘science’ for ancient reasons. Which is why the west invented ‘science’ as a thing – because we are scientific people in the first place.

I explain that the cost of this scientific high trust polity – ‘whitness’ – is the most intellectually, emotionally, and psychologically and socially costly.

But if any society chooses to pay those costs, the benefits of ‘whiteness’ will produce the same results as they do for westerners.

Unfortunately, while my statements explain this science, and I intend them as a universal, there is a tendency to attract what we call ‘racists’ who are angry, rather than universalists who also understand that many small ethnocentric states that cooperate through trade externally, but produce the unique commons they need internally, make us all the best most peaceful most prosperous least alienated that we can possibly be.

Does that mean I would prefer to live in a country that consisted entirely of fellow ethnically European, Scandinavian, secular protestants in a constitutional monarchy with a strong constitution of natural law, and participatory government?

Of course it does.

That doesn’t mean I don’t want everyone else to have what they want too. And that requires a lot of polities – not large empires.
