Under threat most human beings will stick to their tribe .... But ?

Under a clear threat of annihilation or attack most human beings will stick to their tribe. But when the tribe is a modern nation state with a nuclear arsenal it pays to distance oneself from wherever " ignorant armies clash in the night ".

 A democratic socialist myself I see no profound reason why we can't " all get along ". I too make no apologies for my Roman and British Empire ancestors and I am rather fond of the Western Tradition - as explained by British philosopher Bertrand Russell.

 I also reject the hateful New Atheist rants against the Catholic Church. More and more I find myself in agreement with the intelligent and inspired pacifism of A.J. Muste . Nobody will WIN a nuclear war. So can't we all get along ?

 And yes, Saudi Arabia should become the PROMISED LAND for all those Muslim immigrants or refugees unwilling or unable to assimilate themselves into Western Civilization culture.

 My own political tradition does not passively accept gross economic inequality or the divine right of CAPITAL. It is often congruous with Catholic social philosophy.

 Working class people have no stake in bloody and criminal imperialist wars.Or in brainless racial or ethnic superiority. Also we must absolutely defend YOUR free speech rights !
