In deep red, very conservative (very white) places in this country, almost everyone owns a gun, and a large percentage of people carry guns all the time... no problems

but when black people in urban areas have guns, it's a war zone

so if there ever was a SHTF situation, I'd fel much safer around white people with guns than around white people without guns

I have a question about nationalism and accepting inequality, but still wanting to live in an altruistic community that shares and helps each other

how can the two simultaneously exist without being hypocritical?

for instance if there was ever a family that was on the brink of going homeless and another accepts them into their house is that gearing more towards communism?

what do you mean? Theres a middle ground between anarcho-capitalism and communism

not really

helping your neighbors is not communism

^

are people who donate to charities inherently communist?

no

being a nice person and having the morality to assist your fellow white man is not communism

I suppose I want a drawn border between altruism and socialism

if a community forced me to share then is it socialist

but if I share on my own accord is it charity?

being forced to share is leaning to communism, i believe

as in the great words of adolf hitler "instead we say: german people, help yourself"

@Roman Dreams your question is fundamentally an anthropolical one... why does indifference and alturism exist simultaneously in the same species?

the answer has to do with social habits, dunbar's number, in-group/out-group, and kin selection

dunbar's number refers to how many primates can exist in one social group, as extrapolated by brain measurement... Robin Dunbar measured the brain and the troop size of many different kinds of primate and found that this roughly correlates

our number is about 150... meaning we can only keep track of our social obligations to about 150 people, and remember their obligations to us

beyond that and our brain automatically "kicks one out"

to accomodate the new one coming in

so when we form these social groups we become intensely altruistic toward them, usually they're related to us so helping them increases their chances of passing down DNA (which you have in common)

J. B. S. Haldane, evolutionary biologist, famously sayd "I would lay down my life for two brothers or eight cousins" to illustrate this point

So this is why nationalism makes sense to me... it fits in with out desire to see our own people succeed, while at the same time it allows us to express being protective of them against the out-group. These different traits have been honed and tuned to differing degrees across populations as they adapted to different climates, but the fundamental program is the same... be suspicious toward outsiders, but treat your people like family. Nationalism formalizes this understanding so that it can spread across a bigger society than just 150. We do this by maintaining a common language, culture, and genetic heritage.

wow
