| #2 Barakomites: Little is know about these people other than they were a primitive nomadic tribe of mixed colour that lived in the post-Neolithic period estimated by scholars as being sometime between the 20th and 21st centuries. Barakomites were narcissists who viewed national patriotism, self-sacrifice and gratitude as vague, indefinable concepts. Living at the dawn of DNA manipulation and labeling, many centuries prior to modern ethnic muting, they utilized what was known at the time as a multi-cultural disadvantaged status, based on skin pigmentation and clan. This status, popularly accepted during the period, enabled Barakmites to embrace entitlement, gain education and status unavailable to vast numbers of other inhabitants. Barakomites retained culturally diverse family names and embraced popular local religions while distancing themselves, at least openly, from the primitive lunar and death based faiths of their heritage. Barakomite leaders gained social popularity by appealing to restless youth and the disadvantaged by condemning history and national heritage while promising asset redistribution, and entitlement. Criticizing what they perceived as injustice, inequality, and suffering, Barakomites encouraged social change and reform through fear mongering, and social upheaval.
