Well, not to be depressing, but here's the truth and something you should keep in mind over the next few years. The United States, two things to keep in mind. The United States is moving, not inexorably, but still moving toward civil war, number one. And number two, civil wars are the very worst kind of wars, worse than any kind of war fought against a foreign adversary. So to number one.
Why is America moving towards civil war? For the same reason all countries that wind up in civil war get there, because the differences between their population, between people within their borders, becomes too great to bear. People decide, I have nothing in common with the people who live near me, and I don't want to live near them anymore.
In other words, diversity, difference, is actually intolerable to most people. Not necessarily racial diversity, though sometimes that too, But diversity of all kinds. It is not our strength. In fact, it is without question our weakness and it has always been. If you have nothing in common with your wife, do you have a stronger marriage? No, of course your marriage falls apart.
And the same is true for countries. And the truth about the United States is that on every level, beginning with a demographic level, the American population is less in common with itself, with one another, than ever before. When I was born, which wasn't that long ago, it was the modern era, it was air travel and air conditioning, electricity.
When I was born, the United States was about 90% white Christian. It's now less than 40% white Christian. Now, you may think that's a good thing or a bad thing, but it's a massive change, an unprecedented change, really, in a very short period of time. And, of course, it's not accidental or organic. That was the result of policies put in place to achieve that result, and they did.
There are people who didn't want a majority white Christian country. Okay. They got what they wanted. But what do they have? They have a country with no majority demographically at all. There is no American majority, which is to say 51% of people have something very basic in common. And so what you have is an inherently fractured country.
Languages, religions, ethnicities, backgrounds, beliefs, too innumerable to catalog. And so a country like that, unless unified by something, will split apart, particularly when that country is the size of a continent and is held together by a pretty fragile web of infrastructure, air routes and highways.
And so unless you are very self-conscious about keeping it together physically, but also spiritually, explain to people why they should have any regard at all, much less any obligation to people in, say, the next town, much less the next state. Unless you do that self-consciously, unless you inculcate a sense of national identity, it will by nature fall apart.
That is a physics principle, entropy. It'll blow up unless you hold it together. And this has been an untended garden for decades, decades. Nobody in charge of the United States over the past, say, 40 years has really tried to articulate why all of us should live together on the same continent. There's kind of been an unspoken ethos of America, a kind of gay rights technocracy, globo homo.
