1 in 5 French voters ticked the ballot for a party that advocates a racially, ethnically pure France, that wants to stop immigration and curtail further integration with Europe. This is pure, misguided nostalgia for a past that never existed and represents a dreadful development for the safety and well being of a world where differences are celebrated and common solutions are devised for common problems among those people who have competing interests.
I implore all people who understand that unlike our hunter gatherer ancestors who lived in isolated groups and often found themselves in conflict with other humans over resources, to resist the temptation to glorify the 'take care of our own' mentality which is a yet to be shed psychological constraint overlaying our better judgement. Over the millenia and centuries the ideology of self interest has never been promoted by isolation. The collective action of alliance and co-operation has always proved the more effective survival technique. It is obvious that the evolutionary trend of humanoids and the associated evolutionary benefits are promoted by more integration not less. By more immigration, not less. By more tolerance, not less.
So French voters think they have plundered enough from former colonies and disadvantaged trading partners to survive and thrive in a purely French cultural and economic context...I don't think so.
