That fellow Rex hit the nail dead on the head.
“Celestial Kingdom” tribalthink flourishes, despite (or with the help of?) the communist experience. And “Celestial Kingdom” tribalthink is fundamentally no different from Islamocentric tribalthink--or any other.
All such dragons seem to hatch amid folk who try to freeze themselves in time, folk who see (and try to make) themselves the center of their known universe. Interference with them is gross impertinence, an affront to the divine order of things, at best! A victory against them (gasp!!!) becomes a grievance to be carried forever! Here is all civilization, the ONLY civilization, by thunder! All others are chaff, barbarians, Untermensch to be trampled underfoot, unless they acknowledge their places, pay proper homage to the Ubermensch, and content themselves with the subservient lot of helots! That is, when they are fortunate!
A damn shame the dragons cannot devour each other!
Or can they??
