The problem is there is still no sense of shared governance. People are just fighting for their tribe’s due. I guarantee you if there was a situation where Chinese were on the short end of the stick they would wail racism.
Most of the philosophical underpinning of our society are Western and from the Enlightenment. Frankly a lot of people are getting the fruits of this philosophy ‘off the shelf’ but they still think in terms of tribe. They have no conception of governance for the people, it’s whatever they can take.
“The problem is there is still no sense of shared governance. “
There has never been a sense of shared governance.
For most of the USA’s early years, the blacks and Indians were thrown under the bus.
In the last 4 decades the governance has been pretty equal.
But it takes a while for the aggrieved to move on.
Even now, we have very priviledged people talking about “going galt” because they feel they are being unfairly treated (which they are but it is not too bad compared to what was done to the minorities in the past).
