An ideology is a philosophy boiled down to simple, actionable points.
We have a heterogeneous polity and disproportionate crime rates.
I cannot think of a more destructive ideology than the one being
promoted. The ideology of the struggle of cultural classes gives people an excuse and an enemy. Like economic Marxism, Cultural Marxism undermines people’s feeling that they are responsible for their future. It gives them an excuse and an enemy.
I recently listened to a long interview with a prison psychologist who
talked about many black criminals have been “infantilized”. No sense whatsoever that they are responsible for their own actions, that they must control their impulses, that anyone has the right to tell them to not walk in the middle of the street.
We need an ideology that promotes cooperation between groups. I know what wrong looks like — I complain about it frequently of FB. I can guess what right might look like. Three separate ideas:
-Historically the more universalist (western) forms of Christianity have been great at getting people to cooperate. I have a Ghanian friend who has talked about large African tribes half of whom adopt Christianity, and half Islam. The latter become more peaceful and rich, the former more militant and poor.
-Relegating as much as possible to voluntary exchange might be a good philosophy too in which to try to develop an ideology. I don’t think there would be so much racial tension in a monarchy. I’m not suggesting one, but access to political power seems to be a leading cause of interracial violence. If you look at a person’s race, sex, and marital status, you can tell with about 70-80% accuracy how they’ll vote. Married whites & single white men vs everyone else.
The more we do voluntarily and not through political power they less there will be to fight over.
-Voluntary segregation. Everyone can have their own police, their own schools, etc. I think this would be most effective not between groups, but within the black community. They need an aristocracy to emerge. I think of the writing my teacher James McPherson did about the pullman porters. Europeans had the benefits of the Bubonic Plague which wiped out 30-60% of Europe’s population, mostly the underclasses. This, plus other things (the manorial system, the ban on cousin marriage — which was done for entirely Machiavelian reasons but had good consequences) gave Europe a big boost.
