So your response is a direct insult to me because I inconveniently pointed out the historical history of man over the course of millions of years?
And yes there are my people and other people it's not complicated at all. That has been proven historically and recently in scientific studies.
These are not imaginary divisions created in my Brain.
They are in fact evolutionary survival traits that have been hardwired in our DNA.
There has been numerous brain mapping studies done on empathy and sympathy trying to decipher why genocide and various other human atrocities have been the norm in our existence. The purpose of these studies is to see Why neighbors can easily demonize and without remorse remove the others from existence.
To summarize Those studies have found that people brains do not respond in the same ways to pictures and video's of people who look different and appear different(dress/religious looks etc) when the control group in those studies are shown the "others" in states of abuse, suffering and oppression.
This extends to race, religions worshipping, political party, ideological groups and they have even narrowed it down as far as people looking similar within the same race and the brain showing more empathy and sympathy when they are in distress and abused, as opposed to people who might appear less like them or farther from their family tree per say.
So you are fundamentally wrong in all aspects of your response. In that regard there is clearly tribes of people and always will be. You cannot Wish that away or deny it does not exist because we have evolved in that manner for survival.
Now as far as fear... this has zero to do with Fear outside of basic survival for me and my family/friends. This is 100% about my self interest.
As a realist I want me and my family/friends to live the best possible life without the slightest tinge of poverty or distress.
Being logical and knowing that America( 350 million) uses 35-45 percent of the Worlds natural resources depending on what source you believe, and I not being welling to give up said lifestyle for my family/friends have to come to terms that the Others around the world will be cast into a system of poverty, suffering and oppression. So we can maintain our lifestyle.
Again it's not complicated there will be no heaven on this earth for the weak. And to even strive for it is ludicrous as you will never ever out distance what we are as humans violent, selfish and tribal.
It doesn't take intelligent people to manipulate or persuade the human race to fall into groups based upon race, tribe, religion or political ideology. That is who we are from birth. We seek that out and actually desire that.
NO doubt some people take advantage of those traits to acquire wealth, power and status but people are complicit with that manipulation because they agree with that ideology.
I know this is a sobering reality for your misguided world view and illogical belief that as a Human race we can all sit in some hippy dippy kumbaya circle and love one another despite our differences.
Deep down there are more of us who do not want that at all because we have no interest in helping those who are not close to us and we are willing to go the distance to make sure it does not ever come to fruition.
