2/2...defense mechanisms that one can optimistically hope people will sort out. In the meantime calling out veiled #Xenophobia and #Tribalism seems to be bad form...
Humans left to themselves have issues. Folks that have problems with skin color and cultural diversity are not going to be any better off (or better behaved) in a well populated #Universe -

The individual is the "atomic unit" of #morality. Sort of like the atom is to chemistry. From a moral standpoint, the level of the individual is really where all the action is. The best place to find it, to exercise it, to appreciate it, and to improve it. Each instance in its own (possibly unique) way.
A corollary: we should exercise caution whenever joining or supporting groups or collectives. Since all but the most courageous of them will want our morals always to closely match theirs in order for our contributions to be optimized. Or perhaps even noticed.

"Tribalism" as in sectarian, belligerent, cultish or bigoted/racist is a racist term. Tribes are already a racialized concept but the idea that they were inherently any of these things is just made up.

Political identity isn't downstream of values anymore. It IS the value. That inversion is the whole problem — and it predates the last decade by 40 years.

Blocking extremists doesn't create an intellectual bubble, it prevents intellectual bubbles. Tribalism is what creates bubbles.

[P] "Who owns this land? Which tribe?" None. No one. "Then how do you separate this land from others, which are inferior, and full of savages to be defended against?" We don't do that. There're no savages here. "But everyone from a strange land is a savage! The only way to save them is to assess them, and then brainwash and assimilate the worthwhile vassals, dismissing or killing the rest!" How horrid. We don't do that.

[P] The ability to separate people like this into groups of superior vs. inferior based upon familiar traits is itself an expression of narcissism. Q.E.D. all hiverarchians are narcissistic. This difference of narcissism as an excess defines this world, whereas a world of reduced or non-existent narcissism would function so conversely it would be repugnantly alien to hiverarchians. "Who does this land belong to?"

[P] The claim that an able person is better is narcissism, it focuses on the traits of the able one and blithely ignores what others might bring, this belief of one set of traits being superior to another is an expression of narcissism. The same goes for racism, that the traits of a brown or black person are inferior, instead of merely different, is an expression of narcissism. Different is objectively just different.

[P] And because patriotism is narcissism, patriotism is also racism, ableism, prejudice, and bigotry. This concept of patriotism can only exist in a hiverarchian world, because neurofivergents don't exercise narcissism. Any separation of in- and out- is an expression of narcissism, the supremacy, beauty, and perfection of the in-. As such, tribalism is narcissism. Better vs. Worse is an expression of narcissism.

[P] In the same way as a neurodivergent has no appreciation for tribalism and hierarchy, there'd be none for lines on a map, either. The two go hand-in-hand, to appreciate lines on a map, one must appreciate tribalism. It's a very human narcissism to say that "We drew lines on a map, so we are gods here, nature serves us, and no outsiders can enter." Patriotism is narcissism. All hiverarchians are narcissists.

[P] A reason I want a neurodivergent world, as an ideal, is specifically because everything that makes a hiverarchian a hiveraechian—obscene tribalism, fetishised hirrarchy, worship of monsters who lack wffective empathy, and brainwashed out-group hatreds—is missing from neurodivergent brains. The reality of this is seen in the treatment of non-native ethic/disabled immigrants. It would all be entirely different.

[P] I think that aside from giving me so much anxiety that I had a fainting seizure (maybe a TIA?), the other aspect of this is that it's giving me an ego.
https://www.reddit.com/r/ukpolitics/comments/1tgcv65/ukregistered_firms_linked_to_payments_for/
I am objectively better than the racists there. They're like MAGA conspiracy theorists. The ego isn't too bad though as I bet many neurodivergent people are far better than them, too. It isn't hard to outdo monsters.

A quotation from Hannah Arendt
The disturbing factor in the success of totalitarianism is rather the true selflessness of its adherents: it may be understandable that a Nazi or Bolshevik will not be shaken in his conviction by crimes against people who do not belong to the movement or are even hostile to it; but the amazing fact is that neither is he likely to waver when the monster begins to devour its own children, and not even if he becomes a victim of persecution himself, if he is framed and condemned, if he is purged from the party and sent to a forced-labor or concentration camp. On the contrary, to the wonder of the whole civilized world, he may even be willing to help in his own prosecution and frame his own death sentence if only his status as a member of the movement is not touched.
Hannah Arendt (1906-1975) German-American philosopher, political theorist
Origins of Totalitarianism, Part 3, ch. 10 “A Classless Society,” sec. 1 (1951)More about this quote: wist.info/arendt-hannah/42025/

[P] This is why I'm child-free. A world with an allistic majoeity, all of whom have a quiet wish for genocide? I wouldn'f torture a newborn autistic child with that. I had to live through this hell and I cannot ever impose it on a new life. I could never be so greedy and cruel. What do you think the future looks like in a world where the allistic majority cherishes a quiet wish for genocide? War, war, and more war.

[P] The allistic majoeity always votes with a quiet wish for genocide in their bleak, blackened, twisted "hearts," though I'm hesitant to call it a heart with how dessicated it is. I just don't want to live on this planet anymore. I wish there was some way for the moral, autistic minority to just transpose ourselves to some elseplace. I'm glad I won't have to live much longer, but the poor damn kids...

[P] It proves that most of the allistic majority align more with Nazi thinking than not, it is a quiet wish for genocide. Why a quiet wish? Because they're greedy cowards, like all monsters are. They want someoene else to build the gas chambers and to tell them it's okay. A quiet wish for genocise is unreconcilable with decency, morality, ethics, empathy, fairness, or justice. And that's why my faith is shattered.

[P] Reform are so mask-off racist. And don't make excuses for the allistic majority—they aren't stupid, it's insulting to them and everyone else to suggest they didn't understand or care about the racism. And don't try to feed me any horse manure about protest votes, because they could've voted Green. No, every allistic who voted Reform was voting specifically for tribal racism. It's a quiet wish for genocide.
