The source of all this confusion is the false equation of STATE and NATION, which state power has imposed on man's inherently tribal nature since the dawn of civilisation.

When people are ethnically closely related, as members of the same tribe invariably are, the state can get away with it, but not when obvious ethnic differences bear clear witness to the LIE, which, at the moment, we are too terrified to face up to, for fear of the consequences . . .

But, better sooner rather than later, that is what we have to do.
