When biologists (ethologists) seek to understand animal behaviour, they do so from an evolutionary perspective: How, they ask, does such & such a behaviour serve the survival & reproductive success of an individual, or of the social unit the individual is a member of?
We need to apply the same evolutionary perspective to understanding why human societies/states/civilisations, if not destroyed by a rival, ultimately always self-destruct, i.e. weaken themselves to such an extent that virtually any rival is able to destroy them?
This happened to ancient Greece & Rome, & is now happening to our own civilisation.

It's not too late - not yet - for us to recognise the cause & to correct it. All that is standing in our way are the very academics we look to as authorities on understanding society & the state.
Science progresses with the death of every academic authority, it is sometimes said, only we cannot afford to await the death of a whole generation of social science academics, by which time our civilisation will have fallen. @EPoe187 @epkaufm @NoahCarl90 @HeatherEHeying
That all civilisations ultimately self-destruct is a clear indication of their mal-adaptedness to long-term survival. Rather, they are adapted to the short-term advantage of their own elites & favoured clients of the state. This is what we need to understand & correct.
The biggest obstacle is the fact that academics themselves (including those presumed to be authorities on understanding society & the state) are favoured clients & employees of the state, which blinds them to its true nature.

The murder of #DavidAmess MP has been officially declared a "terrorist act", but what does that mean?

Was it also a "racist act"?

When a White man kills a non-White it's always "racist" (e.g. #GeorgeFloyd), but when a non-White kills a White person, it never is.

Why is this?
It is because Britain, America & most other Western "democracies" embraced an ideology of White racial self-denial & self-contempt, in a pathologically misguided, #NeverAgain, response to the evils of Nazism, the Nazis having all been White.
How can citizens of a democracy be persuaded to embrace an ideology of racial self-denial & self-contempt?

First, by not being a true democracy, but an Orwellian construct of lies & deceit, supported by a regime of rewards & intimidation.

America's founding fathers knew intuitively that creating a nation from different European peoples of the same race would be challenge enough, & that trying to include other, very different, races, like Native & Black Americans, would be impossible.

And so it has proven.
This was why, in the 1790 Naturalisation Act, American citizenship was restricted to Whites.

America never became the nation its founders had hoped it would, but just a bigger, more powerful, clone of Great Britain: a mercenary #PatronState, deceitfully posing as a nation.
America, like Britain & all so-called #NationStates, is an Orwellian construct of lies, deceit & a regime of rewards & intimidation; a mercenary #PatronState deceitfully posing as a nation, in order to legitimise itself, its ruling elites & the immense power they wield & abuse. ImageImage

Multi-racial society has been imposed on Britain via the Orwellian & moral-supremacist ideology of Post-Racial #Multiculturalism, DIVERSITY, Inclusion & #AntiRacism, which goes to the opposite but equally insane extremes of Nazi ideology of racial purity & supremacy.
Just as the Nazis had to hide from the German people what they were actually doing with the Jews, i.e. murdering them, so too must the British state hide what they are actually doing with Native, White, Britons, i.e. replacing & racially mixing them out of existence.

Racism! Racism! Everywhere!

When will it end?

It will end either with #CivilisationalSuicide, or with us quickly acquiring a much better understanding of evolved human nature & tribalism, which academics have thus far failed to come up with.

Google translation:
"For Emmanuel #Macron , the epicenter of #France lies towards the Congo River basin. 😂"
For far too long we have allowed the state to define national identity (French, British, American, or whatever).

In a misconceived, #NeverAgain, response to the evils of Nazism, Western academia decided that national identity should be multi-racial & multicultural.
The #NationState has always been an Orwellian construct of lies, deceit & a regime of rewards & intimidation; a mercenary #PatronState deceitfully posing as a nation, in order to legitimise itself, its ruling elites & the immense power they wield & abuse.

Greta is my heroine: the child in the #HansChristianAndersen story of the Emperor's New Clothes, pointing out what those in positions of power & privilege are blind to, which in our case (& no fairytale) is that our civilisation is committing suicide.
Greta recognises our civilisation is committing suicide in failing to take #ClimateChange seriously enough, but I don't think she yet understands the underlying cause, as I do, being a lot older than her.

But hopefully she soon will, & help initiate a #SustainabilityRevolution.
