Who makes breaking us all into ever smaller tribes but Libs/Socialists/Communists?

Communists?

Communism: “is an ideology that promotes establishment of a classless, stateless society based on common ownership ...)

It’s (supposedly) about unification of peoples....

“Excessive tribalism in American politics is, ultimately, un-American. “

Yet is is alive and well in FedGov. Peoples who hold positions at the federal level rarely feel they are of the same “blood” as what would be the common demographic of a “middle class” American.

human beings are built for community.

in a fallen world, their communities are fallen, in some proportion to their lack of submission to the Church.

Yes, cowritten with Peter Schwartz, published in 1999 by Schwartz, but the majority of the writing is hers from the 1970s. It’s excellent and nails the problems with multiculturalism dead to rights.

Ah. That explains it. I passed 18 just a few years before 1999 :)

I"f you instead see a woman primarily as a low-status breeding agent of her patriarch's clan, everything changes. By taking up with an unapproved male, she is nullifying whatever value she once had as a human. In fact, her life has negative value in the sense that her shameful lifestyle is an ongoing humiliation to the men expected to enforce discipline within the clan's ranks."

Are there animals in the wild with this deranged mentality?

She still experiences the mind numbing terror and exquisite pain of her "punishment" that the "tribe" or "family" doesn't feel, and the one administering it would not want to feel the same himself or herself.

The notion fails at first principles.

Islam is far too large and disconnected to be destroyed militarily.

No it isn't. islam is based upon the lie that Mecca can never be destroyed because allah himself protects it. A couple of W-88's dialed up to a 150 kilotons would disabuse these savages of the notion that their 'holy' places are invulnerable.

Once the spiritual center of their death cult lies in radioactive ruins the heart of this cancer upon humanity will be cut out.

Then we can put the Coulter Option into practice.
