In God we trust, maybe, but not each other
CONNIE CASS
WASHINGTON (AP) - You can take our word for it. Americans don't trust each other anymore.
We're not talking about the loss of faith in big institutions such as the government, the church or Wall Street, which fluctuates with events. For four decades, a gut-level ingredient of democracy - trust in the other fellow - has been quietly draining away.
These days, only one-third of Americans say most people can be trusted. Half felt that way in 1972, when the General Social Survey first asked the question.
Forty years later, a record high of nearly two-thirds say "you can't be too careful" in dealing with people. . . .
Reading such reports it is hard to see where wide-eyed ‘liberal’ utopianism ends and cold hard propaganda takes over. Notice not one word on an ever more fractured multicultural population and our overlords’ policy of demographically overwhelming and replacing whites, as the report says, the most trusting of groups. In fact it was those of Western European heritage who invented modern civic culture.
It seems paradoxical that whites are both the most individualistic of peoples and the most trusting, but it is not. A competitive individualism needs a fairly harmonious and fair playing field to reward on merit. Whites also place a high value on altruism toward non-family members. All this worked well as long as whites remained largely amongst themselves. In the increasingly nonwhite societies in today’s Western nations, whites still try to compete as individuals, thinking that others are doing the same, while other races and ethnic groups tend to show much more group solidarity, as seen in voting patterns.
Hence whites are getting blind-sided, hammered and phased out. The growing popularity among young blacks of the murderous anti-white ‘Knockout Game’ is therefore highly symbolic. Goodbye trust. Goodby Western civic culture. Goodbye us.
