This "dual mind" makes no sense to me as I grew up in a culture that didn't have these issues. The government was always "over there" and it was only to be employed as a last resort. Most issues can and should be solved at home.

I asked my dad where all the child rapists where when he was young in the 60s. He said that they would disappear. They never made it to trial. The police, what few people there were, were often in on it as well. Little Johnny was alleged to have raped a girl, so Little Johnny went on a hunting trip and never came home. If someone asked where Little Johnny was, he was living with his aunt in some faraway place in some other state.

The thing about the South is that they took pictures and documented their actions. You don't do that. You just take care of business and let your wives and children believe they live in a fairy land where bad things never happen. Then, when your sons get old enough, you explain how things really work. The women just don't need to know that kind of stuff.

The people trying to colonize Africa and the Middle East were trying to bring a false sense of civilization that never existed. They were living in the fairy land that real men created. They never understood what human nature really was like because they were never invited to be a party to these "hunting trips". They reasoned in books and in cultured forums never once asking the men who kept civilization standing what was really going on.

And when it came time to send people to foreign lands to "colonize" them, it was these academic ignorant types who lead the charge. They tried their experiments on the people and failed.

Had they asked backwoods Appalachian men to colonize the Middle East it would've ended up entirely differently.

It's been a long time but Lawrence of Arabia does a good job of explaining what civilization really is. There's a very poignant scene where Lawrence returns to report that he actually enjoyed killing the enemy, that he wanted to do it more and more and with larger armies. The other British officers, who at the time still had one foot in reality, basically slapped him on the back and welcomed him to manhood. They were the "backwoods" types who could pretend to be civilized and then turn around and shoot someone in the face and not feel bad about it.

The issue is, I believe, that Arabs and Africans are not intelligent enough to live this reality. They either must be savage or they must be wholly civilized, but they cannot balance both realities together. Only white man, particularly Western European types, who can actually manage to create the fairy land of civilization and at the same time do what must be done, fairly.

What do you think was the mechanism that caused the government to go from "over there" to very much "over here"? Aka our current (in)justice system.

Being an American, growing up American, coming to realize what is really going on, means being able to deal with contradictions upon contradictions. We are told from an early age that we are "free". What exactly does that mean, and how are we free? Dig deeper and we realize that pretty much every American agrees we are NOT free, that we USED to be free, but things have changed, in a bad, bad way.

The thing that is most perplexing to everyone except Anglo-Saxons is how we deal with the obvious fact that we are not free. See, since the beginning of recorded history, Anglo-Saxons were mostly independent and self-governing. Kings were employed the same way a corporation might hire a CEO. They were activated for a time, then they went back to being mostly irrelevant. Most important issues were handled by families and villages.

Then along came the Norman invasion and all hell broke loose. Since the Norman invasion, England has been a weird hodge-podge of people thinking that the kings are in charge, people pretending that the kings are in charge, and people who knew better what was really going on but who wanted to go along anyway because the king had better health insurance.

When America was formed, the Anglo-Saxons had, for the first time in a very, very long time, the ability to choose their own government. And this worked, for a short time, and then all hell broke loose as things went off the rails. Thomas Jefferson predicted that the Anglo-Saxons would eventually rise up against the government and start the whole thing over again. He was wrong. And he was wrong because of what he said in the Declaration: we will tolerate as long as it is tolerable.

See, ultimately, we don't care who wears the funny hat or sits on the special rock. We will tolerate as long as it can be tolerated. We will go to EXTREME lengths to tolerate as long as it is tolerable.

But at some point, when they mess with our livelihood, our families, or our honor too much, we go off the rails. History is full of examples of what Anglo-Saxons do when they go crazy.

And the secret of it all is that we are always crazy. It just we can tolerate things pretty well for a time. We all secretly identify as the fool or the village idiot, or the crazy grandma with too many cats and not enough teeth. We know that any thin veneer of reasonableness or civilization is just polish on a turd. We all know who we are at our hearts, and we are fine with that.

Get some real Anglo-Saxons together, get us to let our hair down, and next thing you know we are dancing next to a fire dressed in mud and leaves and chanting something about murder or death and coming up with new ways to kill more people than have ever been killed before. We love chaos. We embrace it. We patiently wait for conditions to be right when chaos is the good choice.

Jews know the reality about who we are. That's why they want to exterminate us. Germans and French and Spaniards know us too well also. If it weren't for the water between the continent and the island, we would've been exterminated a long time ago, rightly so.

We still laugh about people who were foolish enough to trust us. It's funny to us, to know that we've probably been responsible for more deaths than any other single race on planet earth.

The only reason we don't build more nuclear bombs is because we are planning on making even more horrifying ways to die for our future enemies. Right now, guerrilla-style, asymmetric warfare seems to be the most interesting, honestly speaking.

EDIT: You probably wanted to know what civilization really is. For us, it's when husbands listen to their wives and we only polish our axes and keep them in a display case over the mantle of our fireplaces. When occasion arises, we quietly do what needs to be done and mums the word about it. All the while, we pretend like we are honest, hard-working folk who want nothing but to be peaceful and trade with our very bestest of best friends in the whole world. But inside we know that one day we'll have to kill you.

Civilization is not reality. It just helps other people cope with it.
