gregorynyssa1: Left Liberals promote the formation of ethnic enclaves.
gregorynyssa1: They encourage adopted children to research and pay respects to their genetic parents.
gregorynyssa1: They are opposed to aboriginal children being taken out of their environment and given modern education.
gregorynyssa1: They have no problem with rhetoric saying that people inherited their parents' personalities (or even intelligence).
gregorynyssa1: They support the idea that each ethnic/racial minority-group has a common will (in the vein of Rousseau).
gregorynyssa1: They support ethnic/racial Separatist movements in other countries.
gregorynyssa1: They blame the British and other colonials for having drawn national boundaries in Africa and the Middle East which were not faithful to ethnic lines.
gregorynyssa1: They are against race-blind education. They want the education-system to make children self-conscious of their racial features.
gregorynyssa1: None of these things is compatible with either tabula rasa (an 18th century concept) or Platonic mind/body duality.
gregorynyssa1: From what I have read, over in France real efforts were made to implement tabula rasa, but that is not the American position.
gregorynyssa1: The American, Left Liberal position is better understood as being pro-enclave.
gregorynyssa1: As explained by Curtis Yarvin, they want to build up racial/ethnic enclaves in order to serve as "vote banks" for the Democratic Party.
gregorynyssa1: Their ideas regarding race/ethnicity are downstream from the mechanics of vote-banking.
gregorynyssa1: Moreover, as explained by Carroll Quigley, the Democratic Party was always the party of enclaves.
gregorynyssa1: Their electoral strategy at the local level is to gain the support of enclave-leaders, who will get the entire enclave to vote for them.
gregorynyssa1: In contrast, the Republican Party has traditionally marketed itself to individual voters.

gregorynyssa1: With regard to both the matter of the multi-ethnic condition of America and the foregoing discussion of
gregorynyssa1: the malfeasance of elites, what we need is not more Race Realism or Class Realism, but a return to classical morality.
gregorynyssa1: That is, the discussion of the sinfulness and non-sinfulness of particular actions and categories of actions.
gregorynyssa1: Sin is a property of particular acts. The present nation needs catechesis more than ever. There needs to be a catechism for people to read and study.
gregorynyssa1: The Christian community refuses to provide it.
gregorynyssa1: I am neither "conservative" nor "liberal." Both sides believe in the existence of Psychopaths, Sociopaths, and Narcissists.
gregorynyssa1: Nowadays nearly all Christians in the nation believe in the existence of Psychopaths, Sociopaths, and Narcissists.
gregorynyssa1: You will offend them more by denying the existence of Psychopaths, Sociopaths, and Narcissists than by
gregorynyssa1: denying the existence of God.
gregorynyssa1: The recent movement among younger Americans to restore Christianity, called Operation Reconquista, is just more of the same.
gregorynyssa1: If this is the essence of "Christianity," then I am a follower of Sol Invictus.
