History /
Poland in a Slavic Union/Alliance/Federation? [335]
This whole over-identifying with ethnicity is to do with the ruptured development of a historically, wounded and battered people. Unfortunately Gods playground has created a generation of childlike reactionaries lost in the wilderness of regression; who find hope in a false sense of unity through raw hate in the pretense of having a common culture. As if ultra nationalist care anything for actual culture. They may preach about culture, publicly in the lowest common denominator manner but their true love is male bonding, pumping weights,arm wrestling and harboring ignorance.
What has struck me when reading or watching inter-Slavic conflicts is the sheer numbers of deaths involved and how they are treated as merely statistics.
If you look with perspective, you will become aware of the obvious, and no longer see the world as an ant does. The problem with the fanatic is that he has the wrong end of the telescope stuck to his eyeball,he has what Milosz called a 'captive mind'.
