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.

[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.

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.

[P] The interesting thing about all this is is that I think Reform winning so many seats has actually shattered my faith in the allistic majority possessing any goodness. I always had some glimmer of optimism but it isn't there anymore. I now only see tribal cruelty. I see primitive savagery. I see wilful ignorance and the choice to be as uneducated as possible. I see witless homunculi. I see greedy monsters.

[P] That is the level of intellect and self-aeareness we're dealing with. Homunvuli who genuinely, sincerely, honestly believw that if a jewish person isn't a racist, genocidal zionist, that they must be racist. Because the homunculi is far too superior to ever be racist. So the antisemite must be the jewish rabbi.

[P] It's the fucking essentialist gall of it, you know? How can a homunculi be so utterly disgusting and depraved as to link the global jewish diaspora to zionism then go on to claim that anyone else is tribal or racist? It's dizzyingly grotesque. The homunculi calling racist are being racist by assimilating all jrwish people into a zionist monilith. The irony and lack of any self-awareness is just fucking staggering.

[P] I am veru scared for the future. I've called allistics sick fucks recently for being so tribal and raciat, and... all I can do is gesture to Reform's successes in Britain. Allistics are sick, racist fucks and their tribalism is a pathological disease. Things won't get better because allistics wre wired to be tribal, sick, racist fucks. Reform is all about tribalism and racism... Damn it. ... ... I can't.

History is thought of largely in nationalist terms, and such things as the Inquisition, the tortures of the Star Chamber, the exploits of the English buccaneers (Sir Francis Drake, for instance, who was given to sinking Spanish prisoners alive), the Reign of Terror, the heroes of the Mutiny blowing hundreds of Indians from the guns, or Cromwell’s soldiers slashing Irishwomen’s faces with razors, become morally neutral or even meritorious when it is felt that they were done in the “right” cause. If one looks back over the past quarter of a century, one finds that there was hardly a single year when atrocity stories were not being reported from some part of the world; and yet in not one single case were these atrocities — in Spain, Russia, China, Hungary, Mexico, Amritsar, Smyrna — believed in and disapproved of by the English intelligentsia as a whole. Whether such deeds were reprehensible, or even whether they happened, was always decided according to political predilection.

It is important not to confuse nationalism with mere worship of success. The nationalist does not go on the principle of simply ganging up with the strongest side. On the contrary, having picked his side, he persuades himself that it is the strongest, and is able to stick to his belief even when the facts are overwhelmingly against him. Nationalism is power-hunger tempered by self-deception. Every nationalist is capable of the most flagrant dishonesty, but he is also — since he is conscious of serving something bigger than himself — unshakably certain of being in the right.

This is, and always has been, one of my favourite memes.
It captures #tribalism perfectly.
I've learned to see triablism in almost all of human activity - it's in everything we do. Once I recognise it surfacing within myself, I can see it for what it really is.It's a natural human condition; we hunt in packs. But we should recognise it and call it out in our daily actions.

But yeah as a little kid it always puzzled me why there were so many different variants within 'christianity' , Methodists, free methodists, baptists, catholics, Lutherans, Mormons, Episcopalian..... and then of course the answer is that they all 'don't have it quite right' and only our Sect/Denomination/Cult has it right..

A quotation from George Orwell
All nationalists have the power of not seeing resemblances between similar sets of facts. A British Tory will defend self-determination in Europe and oppose it in India with no feeling of inconsistency. Actions are held to be good or bad, not on their own merits, but according to who does them, and there is almost no kind of outrage — torture, the use of hostages, forced labour, mass deportations, imprisonment without trial, forgery, assassination, the bombing of civilians — which does not change its moral colour when it is committed by ‘our’ side.

I am writing an open #letter to all #political sides as an #introduction to #hope I wish to turn #hurt away from and closer into as such through #affirmative #action accordingly if at all possible.
Let me start out by saying, that I #believe in the #power of real human prayer as #unbound #energy finding its way through us. And in turn, I'm no #religious #person by and large, but I am going to send this #prayer out there anyways because I feel it needs to be #said as is.
This will be a prayer covering several #topics of conversation that I #feel are important and significant enough to relay as one broadcast.
To all #people I #pray that:
You realize living on your own #political #island sounds great in theory, be it on the #left or the #right of the spectrum. Or even at the #top or #bottom of it as well. But being unable to find or care for the #center of it, leaves you #vulnerable to #attack more so than anything else. And that is not a state of things I #desire for you to have to #live by.I pray that:
As #individuals you #collectively and #personally #understand that there are differences between the #perception of how you come across to others, and how others #perceive you in turn. It is okay to have a #difference of opinion, but to be #blind sighted by this, leaves you open to being #weaponized and I do not #wish that for you to have to #experience at all.#sovereignty
I pray that:
You can #recognize how someone wants to be able to experience #respect without having to diverge or divulge your #interest in a #potential #conflict as such. In order for us to be able to #trust each other, we have to #remember how to #treat one another as #equals rather than constantly #competing for #dominance based on denying that there #exists a spectrum of #agreeability at play that we are all apart of.#CommonSense
I pray that:
We keep building upon #frameworks that do not need to become a totally separate #foundation that exists just to serve you. But rather, exist as #modular #blocks that can join and detach from one another as already built #structures full and complete. This way, we are not trying to conflict over what block we have to share space with someone else in prioritizing. Because the entire thing is ours to shape in our own way. And so as a #metaphor, I feel it is #important to attach to the idea of having a sense in common, as opposed to a common sense where applicable, of things that cause us to #fight over how #relevant it is to most of us around the #actual or #planned #change currently in motion.#battles
I pray that:
We are able to tell when to be #still and when to #move upon any #focus that #captivates us in part. Whether it exists as apart of a #whole or not. Doing so will help us make the best #impact #possible for the change we want to make a #reality for the #cause we are #concerned for.And ultimately, I pray that we can move past the blatant need to have an #existential #crisis be on full display at the #crossroads of #agendas being carried out as they are each in turn, #instigated by #georegional #tribalism that serves nobody accept to put #humanity as a whole last, not first, as I intend to do.
All of these things are #real and can be #fixable and #doable as such. And I want to make sure, that this reality does not have a chance to get far out of #control the way it currently has.
For it is #outcomes like this, that #incomes should never have appropriately #manifested into #place that I want to #avoid and keep #preventable from ever #happening again.
To me, I find it very #unfortunate that we are living through #times of such blatant #hardship that should not have to be so unnecessary in today's day and age. For in this latest #protest #style #news #video we see this very inteersection of mounting, preventable #activities #culminating all at once in a display of #violent #behaviour best #repurposed for other #interests in my #opinion acordingly.

In #America #israel and #Canada or anywhere else in our #world we should not have to worry about #migration #problems at home #effecting the #symptom of #indifference at the #core of #ineffective #deference as such. Rather, if we simply #agree to #adapt our time towards #focusing on the #things we can #bear #witness to as our own #personal #legacy then I say we have done enough for our #community be it or we tied to a particular #faith or not.
I say this, in my own #human name for all it is worth. Because that is who I am now, and if any #guardian #angel believes this to be #true then all I ask, is that you add yours to this prayer and pass it forward.
Thank you for your #attention to this #matter as such. I #appreciate it and you very much for the #blessing that you are.
