Then why is it you who fails to respond to the logical and fact full argument except with personal attacks and emotional tantrums? You seem to do that whenever your world view is challenged. No wonder you are a social pariah. If you take an extreme perspective and get emotional and generally lose it when you are contradicted. People won't want to interact.
The bad motivations you dwell on are real. If you don't come to really understand WEIRD, blue and red perspectives, people will quickly learn the flaws in your stuff and turn elsewhere. Not seeing exactly where you go wrong, they won't trust your extensive analysis involving the tribal perspective of areas of the world it still dominates.
While once the tribal perspective was cost effective, somewhere between the machine gun and the nuke it became much less so. Nations that don't have to deal with nukes or proxy wars sill deal with the violence that crisis wars bring, but even in the most tribal areas they don't go tribal when the last time is within living memory. People won't make the same old tribal mistake again... at least until the memory of what happened last time fades.
Some people just don't let the memory fade. The results of nukes and the instability that results from proxy wars make tribal thinking very questionable. Dwelling on xenophobia, minimizing other ways ways to seek wealth and power, dwelling thoroughly in the patterns of earlier ages, Generational Dynamics is just stuck in the past.
Now why do you shun logic in what you so obviously want to believe? Why don't you create a logical rational argument that one should not take seriously perspectives other than your own? Why do you resort to temper tantrums and insults rather than trying logic and understanding?
Oh. Changing allegiance to a deeply held worldview is hard. Humans will reject fact and logic in defense of their worldview. It is too hard to learn and grow. It is better to lock onto one's perspective than to seek to make your perspective mesh with reality.
At least when you are clinging to a political world view. You ought to try a scientific one. If the theory doesn't mach the data, you come up with a better theory rather than ignoring the data.
That this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom, and that government of the people, by the people, for the people shall not perish from the earth.
