A while ago, Auron MacIntyre cut this video about the African view of Time and how it proves all those 4chan greentext memes (and the first-hand accounts of missionaries, colonial administrators, and more before them) correct.
Linear time does not exist for them.
They cannot think of the future because, in their native environment, there is not and never has been any need for the future because there is no consequence for failing to prepare for changes that make staying alive nigh-impossible. This is why they are High Time Preference nations. This is why there is no maintenance, not even the idea of it, as seen in Empires of Dust.
There is no gainsaying these observations because they are coming out of the mouths of those who live this. You can't dismiss this in good faith; you can only lie.
This explanation is paradigm-breaking for those accustomed to the Civilized World and its conception of Time, a conception that--I remind you--is NOT purely Western; the East has this also, or they would never have been able to erect their own industries, civilizations, empires, economics, warmaking acumen, etc..
Auron tries to weasel out of the conclusion that has to be drawn here, but it comes down to this: these people cannot be among us or we ALL go down together.
If peaceful separation cannot be had, and now we are attempting exactly that via use of State power, then violent separation is required- terrible as that is.
In light of the reactions to Charlie Kirk's assassination, it is apparent to me that the psychology that celebrates the death of enemies as we've seen is as dyscivilizational as this inability to comprehend how time works, and thus it is not surprising to see the affinity between these two groups against the common enemy is not mere cunning or pragmatic tactical calculation. It occurs at a substrate level, that "brother from another mother" sense, where--while not of the same tribe--they are more alike than not, enough to align together against the West, against the nations that comprise it (and those allied to it, such as Japan and South Korea), and the culture that it comes from (Christianity and the Greco-Roman civil traditions).
Just as we cannot co-exist with those who are incapable of comprehending what needs to be done to maintain Civilization, we cannot co-exist with those who hate us and seek our extinction, especially when they team up against us. Again, now we are resorting to pressuring the State to do its job; if that fails, then the violence starts.
Empire uses them as Thralls. Empire must fall.
