Tribalism is natural and unavoidable, it
must be accepted. To eradicate tribalism, you must destroy the tribe by
separating parents from their children and brainwash those children for a whole
generation.
Allow each tribe to maintain a court where
it settles its own conflicts, or be their mediator and administer justice to
them properly, if unjust, you will cause a feud and perhaps rebellion.
Solidarity between kin and extended
families is natural, between disparates is not and is based on common hatred or
a common enemy. To unite disparates in common action or unfamiliar brotherhood,
you must direct their hatred towards a common outside enemy, or scapegoat one
unfamiliar insider and direct the others in common persecution towards them.
Or the use of terror can quell natural
conflict between kins and tribes, but such would be oppressive and might unite
the disparates against the common enemy - the monarch.
Individuals can never become independent
from others - and any gesture of independence is an illusion. The independent
woman needs others at work, to get the job done, or even have others do the job
for her. She needs love and affection, which is achieved by having a boyfriend
who might move in with her with her. She needs sexual affection, which she
interprets as pleasure, and so she might become promiscuous. Such a dysfunctional
individual is part of a dysfunctional society that is falling apart and will
have its ruin matured with time.
Self-respect is an Arabian concept that
derives from strange and evil ideas of honor. It is the manifestation of a rotten
essence, or an essence that is unclear or mystified (covered by mist - unclear
to sight and therefore wont to deceive), or enchanting and exotic depending on
who you ask.
Tribalism is natural, if kinship is ruined
in favor of individualism and free association, then tribes will sprout up
wherever possible. Emo subcultures and rock music fans are tribes: their
kinship is based on shared preferences and not bioogical commonality, and they
prefer the company of one another, even more so than their own siblings and
parents. This is tribalism resurrected, but it is unnatural and leads to cults,
which are institutions lead by a patriarch - cult leader, who determines the
future course of the cult, and whose cult is completely at his will.

Tribalism
can never be eliminated, and therefore we can never "move on" from
it.
One
common source is not sufficient to unite all the tribes of the world - but two
tribes closer in origin to a third will unite the first and second tribe
against the third.
A
nation must be built on a solid foundation, and not to ideas derived from fancy
or thought-contortions, much like the basis of the modern world. Hobbes and John Stuart Mill and Bertrand Russell did not understand or care for human nature.
A
nation must be defined by common origin; and a state on a common factor and in
opposition to a near or far enemy that threatens the existence of the
state.
Saudi
Arabia is a state of 82 tribes/nations ruled feudally by one tribe, that is the
monarch. Its basis is not just Islam, but Wahhabism, a corrupt and
Hadith-loving form of Islam. And its enemy is Iran, the Shiite archenemy that
unites Saudi Arabia's 82 tribes, mostly Sunnis but many Shiite, in common hatred. The Shiite tribes in Saudi
Arabia are scapegoated, called traitors and agents of Iran, and their idea of
taqiyya (lying about personal faith to save oneself from persecution) is used
as the basis of distrusting them. Without Iran, it seems, Saudi Arabia would
not be Saudi for long, but would be an Arabian land of 82 tribes thieving and
destroying one another.
If
kinship is the origin of a nation, destiny is its purpose. Origin is not
enough, there must be a purpose. What is the purpose of living this life, says
the distressed contrarian? That question must be answered, though very few can
actually answer it and most have an answer anyway.
To
fulfill God's will, to adhere to God's laws and to obey God's commands is my
own answer.
"A
nation, irrespective of blood bond, is formed through a sense of
belonging and a shared destiny."
-
Muammar Gaddafi
The
only mistake in Qaddafi's statement is "irrespective of blood bond".

The cult leader to the cult is like the
monarch to the state and patriarch to the tribe.
The monarch has absolute rule over all his
subjects, and his decisions are final beyond question. The patriarch makes
decisions over his tribe, which are final and surpass even councils and
meetings if checked by checks and balances of the council.
Even the Vatican church has a supreme
council which elects a Pope when needed, and the Pope's edicts and decisions
must be obeyed by over a billion people worldwide.
Cults that are unnatural belongings of
disparate peoples - even political parties are cult-like with their leader and
elite and memberships - will lead to ruin. And that includes the degenerate
subcultures, from scene to preps to nerds, from communists to Islamists to
fascists, and so forth.
The African speaks of magnificent kingdoms:
Kush, Axum, Songhay, Sokoto, Fulbe, Benin, Yoruba and so forth. But...where was
democracy in each kingdom? Kush had an electorate that was very stricty
appointed and consisted of priests. Sokoto had a shura, like all Islamic
states, that was not elected but discussed issues and made decisions by
majority vote or consensus, and the sultan had to obey the decision. The ulema
in the shura were the elite of Islamic scholars, who were already a very small
sector of society.
And still, I'm willing to bet that all
those societies were feudal, with a majority peasantry who were very religious
and obeyed the priests and sheikhs most of all. Three things that people look
down on today.
Remember, nature may recede and disappear,
but it comes back in full force and with a storm-like blow.
