1. 2. 3. No
4. If they want to, they can try.
5. Yes, they are actually preserving cultures that are dying, not whatever ours is.

5b. Nobody is going to preserve anything by keeping people out, persecuting them etc.  The devil is in the details.
6. I think they are, kind of.  They don't realize how strong they are, I think.

But you are taking this in a different direction.  You seem to be pivoting on the term 'tribalism' that I used and asking about ethno-racial cultures or whatever. 

All of my questions were secretly designed to ask three questions all labeled #5 and see if you could chart them properly.  Congrats you passed.

It's fine but I'm trying to figure out a way to characterize how people can convey ideas, generalities and abstractions without falling into fallacies... as per the OP.

To avoid fallacies I guess we just don't speak fallacies, especially when speaking controversial topics.

I still think there are no good cops.  But some cops are obviously much better than others.
