Corruption is legal in the US

I've never understood the drive to be pluralistic anyway. What's wrong with monoculturalism. Where do we get a choice. There's nowhere left. Not all of us like melting pots at all. Not only that, logically it shouldn't be wrong to think like that. It's just the other end of a spectrum. Discrimination used to mean being selective about what you liked - discerning. I like to be discerning and knowing what I prefer. You don't have to hate other cultures to not want to live with them. They are fine to visit on holidays. You stay in your country I'll stay in mine. Also go fix your own country up rather than coming here after your own culture fails and stuffing mine up. Sometimes there's a reason why other cultures fail - why import their problems and people. Add a bit of vomit to milk and it spoils the whole batch of milk. Death by mixture.

Yeah, to be clear I wasn’t trying to make a value judgement about pluralism. The fact is, for better or worse —at least here in the US, that’s what we got. It’s kind of amusing that many cultures that we venerate here for diversity’s sake are culturally exclusive in their own countries.

It's hardly just the US - every single country in the Anglosphere is basically no longer the Anglosphere now. It gives me the shits. Not sure why our culture had to basically die.

While western enlightenment culture is naturally more open, ask yourself whether you think these demographic changes are truly organic. It’s obvious that here in the US it’s intentional, which goes back to my previous point.

I think it’s possible. I’d like to bring attention to what I see the main problematic dynamic at play: there is a relatively tiny predator class that manipulates everyone to be at each other’s throats in order to divide, conqueror and distract while they make off with the bank. They accomplish this largely with the “hegelian dialectic”, or problem-reaction-solution in order to achieve their goals. And if there is no problem, they create one. I’m convinced that the more that people become aware of this, the less susceptible people will be, and the less effective the schemes are.

Yep, we are saying the same thing.

Interesting thread is... interesting.

Personally I think it was all a big over reaction to WW2 and Germany and the pendulum swung way to far to the other side. Before WW2 things weren't so open in the UK and Australia at least. They just weren't as extreme as in Germany who went too far. Certainly pre WW2 our demographics were markedly different. At that point we hadn't lost our identities. Really post 1970 things really started to go downhill at least in Australia. It picked up pace past there and snowballed. These days over here at least they like to say we are proudly multicultural like it was always that way. It absolutely wasn't. I can tell you now and not all of us like it even to this day. We just had no say in it.

A bunch of damn hippies were duped by sex drugs rock n roll beginning in the sixties. Since pleasure seeking became the highest form of human expression for them they no longer made large, traditional families. They failed to reproduce, a violation of the very first commandment. This national-cultural sin contributed to the collapse of western european culture.
