Wow, TIK! You don't take small bites. A lot to unpack here. I'll go out on a limb, just to show I'm not afraid.
We're all painting targets on ourselves, while talking heads rearrange the meanings of words to destroy their truth. Answer a question honestly, and someone uses crude, copied, tactics learned on hate preaching media to shut you down. No one is immune and no one who preaches hate is held culpable for the disunity they sow*. Which subtly acts to defuse opprobrium directed at those who preach hate.
In other words, the hate mongers slide out from under the taking of responsibility for their hate crimes against their fellows, their nations, and humanity.
Preaching hate against fellow nationals is simply stupid. If you believe in national identity, then your fellow citizen is your ally against the rest of the world. Help him, be helped by him, or get out of the way. Dogs in the manger sap the vital energy of any group of folks otherwise working to improve quality of life for all. It is the same for all social units, no matter what their leaders call them.
The real test will come when you are trapped under your burning car and the hand that reaches out to pull you free belongs to someone who you hate because of propaganda from hate-mongers poisoning your mind. Gonna refuse that rescuing hand? Cool! Then your type will die out. It hurts me to think we won't miss you when you're gone.
That is one way to make the world a better place for everyone else.
Defund hate. Work toward common goals as a nation, or a block, or as a global coalition of equals struggling against the tides of social Kaleidoscopism**.
Save the planet, instead of privilege and don't let today's underdog become a slave to the old ways of abuse and oppression. When he takes the reins at last, perhaps he'll do better than the generations before him***.
* Have we not seen hate-mongers touted as saviors and heroes before?
**Society is changing too quickly for any hard and fast rules at this time. What seems reasonable today will be held up to ridicule as rank favoritism or elitism, or intellectual delusion or moral weakness tomorrow.
We're all struggling to find a stable unit identity. Humans are hardwired to be social animals. We will always cluster into groups, factions, or opposing camps. It is our nature.
I cite all of recorded history as my proof.
***Generic pronoun, not a gender bias. Him/her and he/she, even generic person, are all fine. My mum was an English teacher. She would approve of my usage.
