Replying to @JonHaidt
DEMOCRACY = MONOPOLY
1) Markets allow competing groups to collaborate on means, even if they pursue opposing ends. Classical Houses of classes create a market. Democracy creates a monopoly by eliminating the market for commons between the classes, and forcing conflict into the informational commons.
COSMOPOLITANISM = POLITICAL COMMUNISM
2) Cosmopolitanism(political communism) has failed everywhere its tried, just as has economic communism(socialism), and commons communism (libertarianism).Yet people pursue heterogeneous polities despite only homogenous polities exiting poverty, corruption, low trust, and tribalism.
SOCIAL MEDIA IS AS ACCURATE AS PILLOW TALK
3) BTW: As far as I know, (a) we over-report compromise, and over-demonstrate on conflict. (b) we self-report more honestly online than in person. (c) We most accurately self-report in conflict (from a position of physical safety.) IOW: social media = “political pillow talk”.

THE NRA IS THE POLITICAL WING OF THE MILITIA You need to understand the Pareto Rule. 1% of people determine everything. 19% of people organize the remaining 80% of people so that it gets done. This is why always and everywhere 80% of wealth is in the possession of 20% of the people. Because that distribution (a power law) is required to provide people with incentives to do something constructive rather than prey upon one another. (really). Slavery, and serfdom are actually expensive. Freemen are profitable. Citizens are more profitable. Universal citizenship appears to have been a mistake, because it has resulted in underclass rule. The origin of all orders is the organized application of violence to deny anyone the alternatives. It takes about .0001% of adult males to change the political order by the use of violence. Hence, the armed militia rules, and the government is merely operating within the tolerances of that militia. That is why anglo peoples have frequent small revolutions that do little other than modify the *written* social contract, we now call the constitution. The NRA functions as the political arm of the militia. They negotiate with the government on behalf of the militia. The alternative is to end the government, for violating the constitution created by the militia. Which is what we are very close to doing.

—“if we have a civil war, it will be over religion, not race”— We are already having a civil war. And it is over race. In fact, our last civil war was over race. The civil disobedience in the last century was over race. And the current is over race. It just hasn’t turned hot. And it looks like it’s shortly going to. The mistake you’re making (sorry) is in assuming marxism, postmodernism, and feminism, are not religions. They are. A religion requires you profess and act as if one or more falsehoods is true for the purpose of forming resistance against those who profess and act truths for the purpose of competitive advantage.
