U.s. is a heterogeneous country, which means, that there are immigrants, people, and ethnic groups from everywhere. There are many different races and everybody of every kind. Because of this fact, people are not going to agree on much. And people do not feel familiar with each other. This eventually grows into distrust, strangeness, and disdain. People don’t know each other. Everybody is strangers. And even tribal loyalty and familiarity is undermined, by western liberalism. For example, white people are taught “white guilt” and males are shamed into submission. You are not supposed to be proud of your own kind, unless you’re a minority, non-white. This allows minority groups and foreign, non-white people some degree of flexibility that white people in the u.s. do not have.
Familiarity is important in a society, representing Homogeneity, because when you are a family, you care for the health of the members.
Let me repeat that for those who are hard of hearing, hard of reading, and hard of learning…
When you are a family, you care for the health of the members.
Because u.s. has an anti-familial society, people do not think of each-other, or view strangers, as “Part of my family”. Liberalism goes further, supporting divorces, “non-traditional marriages”, homosexuality, and other values that undermine familial loyalty. So on top of a nation of “rainbow people” there is a culture of liberalism, which pushes everything into the direction of Anti-Family.
So it’s no wonder that u.s. cannot agree on, and half do not support, a national healthcare system. People don’t care about each other’s lives (“Individualism”). Why should a complete stranger care about another complete stranger, when there is nothing familiar about him/her, and that the cost of healthcare cannot support everybody? So one person thinks that it’s better off somebody else dies from lack of healthcare, improving the chance that him/herself can afford and have healthcare. A selfish society, caused by the anti-familial foundation.
Homogeneous societies have healthcare down pat. Scandinavian countries have very high taxes, but, you don’t have to worry about being rejected from hospitals when you’re sick. You don’t have to worry about a lifetime of bankruptcy. East Asian countries, although many parts are poor, have solid social foundations to help and treat sick individuals. Since all are considered family, and all are family in the way that these are “racially solid” societies, unlike u.s.
Much of the cause of anti-familial sentiment comes from a deeply fragmented and foreign people. Liberalism is necessary in the u.s. otherwise there would be much more conflict and violence among the varying races and ethnic groups. Liberalism is an ideology meant to strip people of their individual and tribal identities, whittling social groups into “individuals” that are easier to indoctrinate, control, and enslave. People are easiest to manipulate as individuals, because they have no reinforcement. They have no families or tribes to rescue them. This is an essential aspect of liberalism.
But Nature and instinct is strong. People seek out their own kind, and join together, when times are tough. This fact was combated in the u.s. by “anti-segregation” laws. Whites segregated into their own groups, especially in the South, and blacks among themselves as well. Anti-segregation is another step in the wrong direction. Anti-segregation culture in the u.s. means that all people, everybody gets mashed together into one classroom, one society. This is how the u.s. public education system works. And it is why private school is so highly demanded. In public school, boys and girls are forced together (which is an inferior mode of education), races are forced together too. This all leads to a “tolerant” culture and society.
But tolerant does not mean familiar. Despite liberalism and anti-segregation, the u.s. does not consist of a solid “nation of people”. For a nation of people, a solid unity, where people genuinely care about each other, and would save one another from death, and would treat each other with healthcare, then you must look to homogeneity, Scandinavia, East Asia, and other countries where one race, or one ethnic group dominates.
