Political Tribalism

[Chuck Naill]

Had a thought, if the USA would admit it's history and make a profound apology, Russia would have not ammunition to use against us politically.

People are outraged about "wokeness". They are alarmed by anyone bringing up the past inequality, which is obviously true. As long as you harbor sin, or whatever you want to call it, is continues to do its damage.

If American's need anything, it is to fully embrace Liberal Democracy and free elections. Succession is a significant tool against the loss of freedom. Liberty cannot just be one person or groups definition. In other words, it can't just be what white men think it should be.

I am reading The Case for Trump by Victor Davis Hanson who is discussing white grievances as the reason Trump could have won. He has not mentioned Paul Manafort so far. Since the topic is tribalism, if someone leverages these white people's grievances, it is in line with what both Putin and Hilter have done.

This is going to sound familiar, said by Putin yesterday, "And now, he said, the West is busy “canceling” Russia, “an entire thousand-year-old country, our people.”

"“The names of Tchaikovsky, Shostakovich and Rachmaninoff are being removed from playbills. Russian writers and their books are being banned,” Mr. Putin said. “The last time such a mass campaign to destroy objectionable literature was carried out was by the Nazis in Germany almost 90 years ago.”

For the moment, Mr. Kolesnikov said, Mr. Putin’s main audience when railing against Western “cancel culture” is domestic, with the Kremlin intent on feeding the grievances against the West upon which Mr. Putin draws much of his support. But casting Russia as a protector of traditional values from the thrall of wanton liberalism is also a message that finds sympathy around the world — including among American right-wing commentators like Fox News’s Tucker Carlson, whose monologues are often shown on Russian state television.'
