i kind of agree and kind of don't.
on one level, most humans who have ever lived have lived in a fashion we would consider xenophobic. this, i think, is absolutely true.
on the other hand, i am wary of models that over-praise our own society's achievements relative to historic models because
a) it's dangerous to think that you are somehow a natural end-point of history, or are beyond history in a fundamental sense.
and
b) it's not over yet. the great experiment of the globalist west will not necessarily end well.
