Okay so you and a lot of people on .world aren’t probably going to like this because I am using an explicitly communist source, worse an explicitly communist wiki but I have read a good chunk of the source material here and don’t feel like rewriting all of it when I can just link it. Anyway here are some links that should be informative if you want to understand the philosophies that guide the CPC and the structure of its state.
Socialism With Chinese Characteristics
I ask you to be curious. Investigate the claims you see here, look at the sources used and judge them for yourself. I know you are not likely to be receptive to the communist perspective, most people are not and I am not trying to make you a communist through this. Its just that communists put a lot of time and effort into critically understanding other communists and their projects. Its a lot to investigate, don’t expect to read or understand it all in one night. Good luck ❤️

Have you ever thought that maybe those happened because of human nature, and not the other way around?
Yes acually, I believed that most of my life until I started my education in history and anthropology. Through my studies I was exposed to many societies which did not define themselves through exclusionary definitions. Mostly these were small hunter gatherer societies that were not in direct competition with other groups for resources. I’d be more inclined to argue that it is scarcity of resources that originally created the conditions for tribalism as you describe it. If you removed the incentive for tribalism by removing scarcity I do not believe it would have come about but we also wouldn’t have ever formed a sedentary ageicultural society so you win some and you lose some.

Its impossible to know what human nature is. I can define human nature as behaviors inherent to human beings regardless of social influence but we cannot know what these behaviors are.

The whole point of what I was saying is that this is impossible?
- Comment on What’s the actual reason neurodivergent people are sometimes discriminated against or bullied? 3 days ago:
Liberalism yeah but tolerance has existed for as long as humans have formed community. I’d argue that prejudice and bigotry, in the way we experience them today and at the scale we see today, are far newer.

Sure, but good luck isolating which parts of our lives are derived from pure human nature and which are corrupted by the influence of societal constructs. My argument is that these things are inseperable and that analyzing social behavior through the lense of human nature can lead no where productive because we can’t know what pure human nature is. I am not arguing that human nature does not exist. I am arguing that the material world and the societies we have built in it affects what we percieve as human nature.

I am sorry to say that human society, which has existed and evolved for millennia, is often complex and has more to do with production and hierarchy than the expression of a nebulous human nature.
- Comment on What’s the actual reason neurodivergent people are sometimes discriminated against or bullied? 3 days ago:
How can you know that for certain when this society is all that you have known? Isn’t it more likely that you are told these things are human nature in order to justify their existence and power over you?

Thats not human nature thats the product of a society that demands conformity. You wouldn’t say its in a coal miner’s nature to have black lung
