Tribal warfare is sapping our energy


You don't have to be Einstein to realize that the West is in a desperate state. We don't know what works and polys are the last ones to admit it. Psyches like JP are out telling us we are in a fanatically defensive mood with denial and guilt wiped all over the other blokes face . As Paul Kelly has observed, the huge tribal wars are sapping our energy; we are reduced to throwing blame and shame .
We have to get back on the road to something that works.
One thing that doesn't really work in this world is blind efficiency, the blinkered efficiency we impose on ourselves if we worship in Capitalist, Scientism  or Marxists schools . Whether its control of money, good intention or mind control of men ----its madness .(Mark Manson is onto the unsustainable  toxic  sentimentality of the left too) . 
The tyranny of attempted mind and behaviour control ( even if it only starts with the worst idiots ) is the most frightening and dangerous form of fanaticism. The sound psyche of “takes one to know one “ suggests projection  is involved and is working on transfers of  our guilt to the other bloke.
 If we re going to keep going places after the next election we need to focus on talk which shows we are working and thinking together – and rely on  the few in public life who tap our best,  These are surely the ones who encourage us to insist on the golden rule and avoid the cynical unsustainable and desperate use of the iron rule , 
And showing how little real sense we have
Thanks Paul Kelly for the line .
