Food For Thought: Ideology vs. identity – Saskatchewan and Alberta just made a huge separation/independence announcement.
"[Sam] Huntington rightly argued that the 20th century was a century of ideology, the century of the cold war, right? Where the world was basically organized around two main competing ideologies. Western liberalism versus Soviet communism. When Soviet communism died, Huntington argued that the world was going through a massive recalibration away from ideology and now to identity. In other words, if the 20th century was all about what do I believe, the 21st century is more about who am I? What people do I belong to? What culture do I belong to? This is why we've seen these massive secessionist movements ever since the fall of the Soviet Union."
