RE: Why promoting your own culture makes you racist

in #politics7 years ago

instead of letting nationalism fire up conflicts, it could be used to make peace. its kind of only way imo.

SA is the place with a lot of so called bad blood. Same as the place i am living. Religion, national, race and tribal melting pot.
Thats a resource of todays world, places like this, where you can trigger regional conflict or civil war with just bit of cash and influence. War sells.

Considering history, patterns and repeats, some part of the world desperately needs deals between nations/confessions/tribes and removing fear and war mongering rhetoric from everydays life.

Like in Bosnia, where war happens every a bit, since ever. There is 3 tribes, and if they make a deal of neutrality and 100 years of peace, this whole region would go forward, giant steps.

That would make most of politicians lost their jobs, warmonger and criminals would have to search for another market, retire or GTFO in any way they want. Today, thats what keeps all the idiots in power is creating fear from others, and working together with their colleagues from other 2 tribes, staging events, provocations and boosting eachothers influence in their poor, war damaged population.

Removing threat of war would send those people off the power, and off the screen.

it cant be reached in existing system. only possible is to make deal, tribe with tribe. not state with a state. noone believes in states anymore. make it a matter of honor, not matter of democracy, diversity or world`s progress.

its simple, lets not fight for 100 year. just to get rid of people who are in power now, and lets try working together and making something good. USe that peace to educate people, so we never again come to this situation.

but i also think that area is closely monitored, and theres small chances to make something like that happen. they have all the power, and i think we cant even imagine what are they ready to do to keep their power.

Sort:  

I could not agree more... One of my greatest wonders of life is: We know what peace would look like, Everyone wants to be happy, but why is the world such a mess then? I guess people do not want to share the world. Everyone is still fighting over ownership. One would think humanity would move away from tribalism. Maybe there's progress. But not much from what I see.

Maybe we do have a brighter future. I am hopeful. But its true what you say. People of influence moneytize human suffering (War, poverty, racism). If they need to make people suffer to line their own pockets. They would.
