>>3357I agree with most of what you've said. Dual loyalties and parochial interests are a threat to the cohesive functioning of any one country.
You are probably not of this category of people, but among certain young there is a popular set of ideas: all ethnicities are practically the same and men and women are basically the same. Simultaneously there is contempt for those from East Asia under the "Asian" moniker, which itself is from a 1977 Office of Management and Budget document.
https://wonder.cdc.gov/wonder/help/populations/bridged-race/directive15.htmlThese young people who mostly self-identify as White (of the city, academic type) rather than Christian or heritage are likely threatened by what they see as the capability of demographic groups dissimilar to their own. From a historical and capability perspective the Black or Hispanic communities draw no ire, and the Indians seem fine going with this Indo-Aryan idea.
So there is an attempt to set out an IDEA WORLD not actually representative of this class. IDEA WORLDs are set by men, women simply pattern match their existence to it.
If you look at:

https://www.asianfounders.club/The leadership is composed of women (though you could say that about universities in America as well) in that they exist in an IDEA WORLD, but that is not set by the actual leading men in my demographic. Which is why I always felt weird in those spaces. I don't care about their "anti imperialism and colonialism" agenda---that ended with the United States stopping the French and British in Egypt decades ago.
Or consider this guy:
https://psycnet.apa.org/fulltext/2025-88410-001.html"The comparison reveals that both East Asians and the Inuit exhibit notably high emotional control/suppression, ingroup harmony/cohesion and subdomain unassertiveness, indirectness, self and social consciousness, reserve/introversion, cautiousness, and perseverance/endurance."
Basically, he lives in the words and ideas that other people set for him. The numerous wars across East Asia don't support the idea of a race of herbivores.
So it's not that I'm unwilling to call out ethnocentric blocs---it's an unwillingness to live in an IDEA WORLD meant to weaken oneself rather than strengthen it. (That is, the configuring of minority groups to appear in a certain way different from themselves to show they can be puppeted, like some Blacks in the State Department being very soft spoken with glasses to appear academic and non-threatening).
In my experience I get along with most Southern/Midwestern Whites, engineers, etc. Though the Whites have become influenced to become this sort of European-Bantu emotional hybrid language ("t-boned", "rear ended", Meghan Markle butt-shaking) with present preference that I am convinced many don't even recognize as a problem to industrialization.
There are great brands that represent a certain style of American Industrialism I am a big fan of: Darn Tough, ULINE, Grip6 belts, Crown Lift Trucks, Duracell, Bounty paper towels, Costco.
Somewhere in there, maybe, is an industrial future and leading class based on nutritious food, land, and manufactures rather than control of the media-financial system. But I do not really see any synthesis of this idea, nor do I think they would hang out on the internet much.
