The Far Right Is Winning the Global Battle for Hearts and Minds

Interesting article; enjoyed how so many different levels of social-exchange were introduced into the argument.

...Cyprus comes to mind; where the Problem seems at an impasse, where the "Right" (read: "Greek") confronts the "Right" (read: Turkish"). "Being" Cypriot is very difficult therefore, because as an Identity, it is dismissed as non existent, or met with open hostility by those who see themselves as, not "Turkish", or not "Greek", if you will.

...indeed it is a complex issue, let's call it imperialistic tribalism; Lest we Forget: especially where it is now imperative that real enemies like disease and famine are defeated, (we should not be fighting each other), failing which no one will survive.
