Doug Casey on the culture war in America

Culture is what ties groups and countries together.  When a cultural split develops—such as the one we now have in the US—a country cannot, and, more importantly, should not stay together. 

It’s poisonous to keep different cultures together in the same political unit.  Politics is all about deciding who decides who gets what, how, and at whose expense.  It can be fairly cordial if everybody shares the same culture.  If they don’t, it’s a formula for disaster. 

In the US, politics has become a contest of who gets to impose their will on the rest of the country.  When that’s the case, a country is best off dividing.  It shouldn’t be held together artificially or by force, but voluntarily.  Freedom of association is necessary for a civil society.
