    PASSIONS:

    • Delusion of National Grandeur, resulting in wars of aggression upon victim nations, but always gets pushback from other superpowers, resulting in national destruction, eg France under Napoleon, Germany under Hitler.
    • Military Supremacy, resulting in arms races and draining national treasury of funds for government services, infrastructure, medicine and support for indigent or disabled citizens.

    PREJUDICES:

    • Immigrants take jobs, in FACT econometric research show that immigration has a multiplier effect of jobs, of 2.18 jobs for every immigrant, that immigrants spend all their income to set up home, business and family resulting in economic growth from sudden uplift in aggregate demand, from high multiplier effects of spending 100% of earnings, that can be up to 6 times the money spent, over time.
    • That different races are less intelligent than dominant cultures. A myth, but supported by lack of available education for minority groups, who are forced into minimal economic opportunities by dominant culture rationing the best economic opportunities to themselves and the least profitable opportunities to minority groups, entrenching disadavantage in minorities and structuring priviledge in ruling classes and dominant culture.
