Many Western moral debates on issues like immigration, race, gender, and free speech are actually conflicts over identity rather than true moral dilemmas. Morality isn’t universal but shaped by the group a person belongs to.

First comes identity, which defines who someone is and what group they’re part of.

Then comes loyalty, which emotionally binds them to that group.

Morality follows as the set of internal rules that maintain group cohesion.

Universalist morality is a pseudomorality rooted in Christian thought for weakening group identity and loyalty.

Stable society must be built on a foundation of identity first, then loyalty, and only afterward, morality.
