The evangelicals are indeed religious fanatics and anti-environmentalists, but I've never met one. I'm more interested in transhumanist and space enthusiast opposition to Earth worship.
Maybe someday a super-civilization will recreate Holy Mother Earth in all her pristine glory. How do you like this idea?
Quote:Quote:Japan also experienced a devastating defeat in the 1940s, a nuclear disaster. They got over it and are now one of world's most modernized societies. Cannot the Arabs got over the creation of Israel and focused on modernizing themselves? How long should the struggle go on before they admit defeat? Will it be still going on in 2048? 2148?Probably, because Israel stubbornly believes it has a right to all Palestinian land, and holds back the Arabs in that land with its oppression and theft.
Any conquered population eventually assimilates like the ancient Britons conquered by the Anglo-Saxons or migrates away, like the Caucasian tribes conquered by the Russians escaped to the Middle East. Virtually noone sacrifices his life to avenge a disaster that happened centuries ago.
I suspects even Palestinian Arabs my age (born in the 80s and 90s) would find the "disaster" of 1948 a remote, uninspiring event, if they weren't indoctrinated by Palestinian nationalists at school. The sort of struggle their textbooks preach would really appeal to most hardcore alt-right members in America:

Quote:I have a bit of trouble though with saying Yellow is Right and then putting it at the top
The diagram should be tilted to that the boundary between Yellow and Purple is at the top. Also, I think I'll eliminate Stirner since he as a radically anti-social individualist is outside the 5 categories.
