America did itself great harm when it decided to commit genocide on a massive scale to form a united geographical territory from coast to coast. In doing so, it left a great many of its new population isolated from any contact with centers of government, higher learning, and reasonable organized religion to fend for themselves largely organized only by their nationality of origin.

When technology was invented to reunite these widely disparate pockets of the population under the single banner of the government enough time had passed to cause deep conflict in the process as the government was seen as an intruder into their cultures, greatly evolved from their roots by a common ignorance. Even after a civil war, two world wars, and a great depression the lines of demarcation of this isolation can be clearly seen in mapping any important metric of our society, such as education, income, racial and gender bias, and acceptance of proven science.

America’s economic dominance after WWII enabled this division to be mostly overlooked as the migration of the population was away from the already isolated segments, but that is now, thanks largely to their gullibility and its influence, a thing of the past as well. Catering to this segment of the population, pretending that their ignorance and mythologies are equal to conflicting facts and science, is simply something we cannot afford with further economic collapse and climate change barreling down on us like freight trains.

They should be ridiculed and made the brunt of jokes until their numbers decline below what is required to be a political force. Belief cannot be dealt with by reason or fact and any attempt to do so only validates and empowers their ignorance as well as those who prey on it for economic and political gain.
