So you want a balkanized America?

A strong culture and sense of community is critical to national survival. Without that, anarchy and sectarian violence is highly likely.

Historically, the collapse of communal groups, and the rejection of cultural values have always lead to the decline of nations. Persia, Athens, Sparta, Rome, Brittan, and now America.

It caused the collapse of those nations because they existed before the modern era where we are bound by more practical things such as national identity, economic interdependence, political protection of rights, ect.

I suppose you could argue these things constitute the new American culture, but I don't really think of them as such personally. I would say they do however, serve as a more practical and useful alternative to a strong national culture (which is often responsible for racist hatred which I know you are against).

I want a society in which the individual does not bow before societal or cultural pressures and "controls" without just logical reason.
