Primarily yes, but more generally divisive/retrograde institutions (including those of other faiths) should be reformed/closed
My political philosophy is a little more nuanced than that i.e.
Fourth Way pragmatic pluralism seeks to include a plurality of political views in discourse (excepting those that pose an existential threat to the very diversity of said system e.g. fascism/Islamism) and arrive at a consensus position on policy (which can indeed be sold on the basis of Benthamite calculus)
Agreed. It’s when people get purist/militant about it that I have a problem, or when they ignore associated social ills or else fail to see why/how related policy could/should be reformed/reversed
I understand, but you must understand that
‘third culture kids’ like yourself are the exception, not the norm – no matter how hard the Crony Capitalist powers that be attempt to dilute/disparage/denigrate/destroy the sense of place, heritage, ethno-cultural affinity, and related geographical, communitarian belonging/loyalties integral to the tribal/political identities of billions
I did say like a coward, there could be other explanations (but it looks to the observer like ducking a question, which is of course typically an act of cowardice)
Careful with the assumptions, my stated hierarchy is not set in stone, I remain something of a meritocratic/responsive to social/security and related philosophical dynamics
For example, I see no sense in mass (particularly inter-civilisation) immigration when it fundamentally degrades the values (dignified progressivism), culture (Jesu-Christian in origin), customs (freedom of expression/presentation/fun/inclusivity), way of life (living life without fear/stifling political correctness), quality of life (net fiscal drain: £15,000,000,000 p.a.), and security (ISIS et al. domestic terror and insurgency through to lower level criminality and anti-social behaviour) of my:
Immediate family > wider family > friends > neighbours > indigenous inhabitants of the same: settlement > county > region > nation > continent > civilisation
Didn’t think it was a serious question
