I saw a chap called Peter Ellyard talking the other week. He was talking about the progression from Tribalism through Nationalism or Patriotism into Planetism.

Interesting fella with some interesting ideas.

The Planetist 21st Century
Tribalism involves giving first allegiance to tribe. Nationalism involves giving first allegiance to nation. Planetism involves giving first allegiance to planet. Planetism is the product of paradigm shifts that commenced with modernism in the mid 20th century , through post-modernism after 1970, finally delivering planetism in the early 21st century, which will dominate and shape global society around the year 2020. Most educated young people today are already planetists, as are most educated middle class people. The birth of the paradigm of planetism has involved the transformation of nine values compared with the modernist values present in the mid 20th century. Because values shape markets, from the values of planetism we can predict markets of 2020 and beyond, and the products and services that will be in demand by these markets, and we can predict the ethics that will guide investment and determine behaviour in the years beyond 2020.

Ah the Annual St George's Day NSC Binfest! Like the first cuckoo it's a sure sign that summer's on its way. Only a couple more weeks and I can plant out my tomatoes, and then come back on here for next event on the NSC calendar: the annual close season "NSC isn't as good as it used to be" binfest.

Why do we have to go through this every year ? I thought the whole point about being English was that we didn't NEED to go in for silly displays of exaggerated patriotic fervour.

Nobody is stopping you flying the flag. Just fly it.

Just sit quietly and have a nice cup of tea in front of Eastenders.

I find the Australia day celebrations over here quite tragic, it always makes me feel happy to have a deep history and culture (i am not proud of all of it) and don't feel the need to go over the top and justify my countries existence as they seem to every year.

The qualities we should be celebrating are human qualities shown by people the world over. National boundaries mean little to me.

I have a flag pole in my back garden 365 days a year it has the flag of st George along with the Albion crest flying from it. One of my neighbours said she thought it was a bit right wing I said once she owned my back garden she could take it down.

366 days this year. Let me know which day you choose to take your pole down and I'll give you a hand.

patriotism is nationalism in disguise. what is so good about english society? do tell.

St.George is not even an english archetype.....goes back to babylon and mainly middle eastern.

There is no such thing ad society Margaret thatsher said so and thats good enough for me. You are one of those liberal apologists who wont bring back hanging so the streets are roaming with muggers

Why are so many of you people who proclaim to defend Englishness so rubbish at using the English language?

It looks like wideguy/siclean is back with more of his illiterate offerings (albeit minus the plethora of emoticons & exclamation marks).

Smashing.

ps Maybe a kindly Mod could carry out a cheeky IP check? You know it makes sense! :wink:
