Belonging.

To Belong, what does this mean? Well one synopsis is that it postulates the inclusiveness in a sect that exhibits the same differential characteristics of the majority. This is not to say that each and every characteristic has to be present in each and every one of the group, but that there is a clear pattern among the camp that exhibits itself in a clear and palpable way, easy for observation and thus revocation into a clear and conspicuous grouping.
Yet to belong can also be a term that decries exclusion as opposed to inclusion. Thus rejection of a group can lead to an inclusiveness of non-inclusiveness. This is not to state that this is a minority grouping but a lack of traits to be unable to associate with any particular federation of characteristics. There are always those that feel excluded and unable to join the ethnic and social identity politics. This could be the inclusive forum that they were searching for, a paradoxical inclusiveness and a feeling of belonging to an assembly even though there are no characteristics that can denote this in a clear and precise way.
It is groups that identify their social and ethnic belonging characteristics in this way that are the modern day scourge of society, the anarchists who wish for nothing more than the majority who have identified through various precepts to be destroyed and cast apart to face the daily challenge of acceptance that these persons find themselves in today. This relates to the Islamic extremists found in today’s modern western European societies, who spend their effort on hurting the inclusiveness of identity groups, to break them down and to recruit and gain support via a growing turmoil. It is a challenge to the system that has been in place for centuries, it is to create a non self sustaining identity for people that will force people to turn to them as the saviour and future, an inclusiveness of non-inclusives. Thus an attempt to change the basic mores and culture codes from the base, a peril that is deemed by many a dream with no fruition. But the possibilities it has to break down society are too great to ignore, and thus more and urgent action must be taken to ensure this does not occur.
