Balkanization

Shrewd Mark Levin admonished us the other night that we need to close our border, and slow down, almost eliminating all forms of immigration and visa-granting for a few years to allow those here that are not deported to have time to assimilate.

Mark is correct in opining that we are all Americans first, and then members of our ethnic groups and identity groups second.

Balkanization occurs as we are divided into different, competing, hostile ethnic rivals.

To be a united people we must be Americans first. That means we must be individuals first, and group-identified a distant second.

To be individators first, and collectively oriented a distant second is how we have real unity.

Individuals cooperate and live in peace, moderation and tolerance.

Collectivists, divided into clashing tribes, vie, quarrel, even warring. They are immoderate and intolerant.
