   Nobody wants to admit this, but you only get a High Trust Society by EXCLUDING people. In American cities you can build all the tramways you want but still nobody's getting out of their car because it's just not safe to do so.

     Supremacism works for all ethnic groups. They all believe they are the chosen master race, and that's probably healthy.
     
     However, I think the problem with white supremacism is that it is not tied to culture. Culture produces goodwill and zaps violators.
     
     The insurance idea is a good one, since it transfers the cost of criminality to everyone through collective punishment.
     
     Taxes are unaccountable and always wasted.

     White Supremacism is a simple and largely effective way to exclude low trust people - this is why even after 70 years of Teachers Teachering just as hard as they possibly can, they've still been unable to get rid of it entirely. It confers evolutionary advantage because it works.
     
     However, it is not perfect at all. Case in point, which one of these you rather have as your neighbor?
     
     If you pick the meth head just because he's white, you're not being serious.
     
     Other than the problem that it's not always accurate, White Supremacism has a bigger problem: There's no continuous selection pressure. If you're born white, you can be whatever kind of hoodlum you want because you "already passed". Entropy is constant, so anything that isn't continuously improving is continuously devolving.
     
     As I've said numerous times before, if a city would simply require criminal liability insurance for anyone inside city bounds, within 5 years that city would be the most wonderful place to live in the entire world.

     The smart side of libertarianism recognizes that people will abuse anything they get for free.
