After playing clips of Democratic politicians reciting that truth of modern liberalism, Tucker Carlson asked, “How, precisely, is diversity our strength? Since you’ve made this our new national motto, please be specific.”

Reaction to Carlson’s question, with some declaring him a racist for having raised it, suggests that what we are dealing with here is not a demonstrable truth but a creed not subject to debate.

Yet the question remains valid:

Where is the scientific, historic or empirical evidence that the greater the racial, ethnic, cultural and religious diversity of a nation, the stronger it becomes?

From recent decades, it seems more true to say the reverse: The more diverse a nation, the greater the danger of its disintegration.

Ethnic diversity, after all, tore apart our mighty Cold War rival, splintering the Soviet Union into 15 nations, three of which — Moldova, Ukraine, Georgia — have since split further along ethnic lines.

Russia had to fight two wars to hold onto Chechnya and prevent the diverse peoples of the North Caucasus from splitting off on ethnic grounds, as Georgia, Armenia and Azerbaijan had done.

Ethnic diversity then shattered Yugoslavia into seven separate nations.

And even as we proclaim diversity to be our greatest strength, nations everywhere are recoiling from it.

The rise of populism and nationalism across Europe is a reaction to the new diversity represented by the Arab, Asian and African millions who have lately come, and the tens of millions desperate to enter.

Center-left and center-right parties are losing ground in European elections because they are seen as feckless in meeting what more and more indigenous Europeans believe to be an existential threat — mass migration from across the Med.

Japan’s population has ceased to grow, and each year brings fewer toddlers into its schools. Yet Tokyo resists the racial and ethnic diversity greater immigration would bring. Why, if diversity is a strength?

What South Koreans dream of is uniting again with the 22 million separated members of their national family who live in the North, but share the same history and blood.

This summer, in its Basic Law, Israel declared itself an ethnonational state and national home of the Jewish people. African migrants crossing the Sinai to seek sanctuary in Israel are unwelcome.

Consider China, which seeks this century to surpass America as the first power on earth. Does Xi Jinping welcome a greater racial, ethnic and cultural diversity within his county as, say, Barack Obama does in ours?

In his western province of Xinjiang, Xi has set up an archipelago of detention camps. Purpose: Re-educate his country’s Uighurs and Kazakhs by purging them of their religious and tribal identities, and making them and their children more like Han Chinese in allegiance to the Communist Party and Chinese nation.

Xi fears that the 10 million Uighurs of Xinjiang, as an ethnic and religious minority, predominantly Muslim, wish to break away and establish an East Turkestan, a nation of their own, out of China. And he is correct.

What China is doing is brutalitarian. But what China is saying with its ruthless policy is that diversity — religious, racial, cultural — can break us apart as it did the USSR. And we are not going to let that happen.

Do the Buddhists of Myanmar cherish the religious diversity that the Muslim Rohingya of Rakhine State bring to their country?

America has always been more than an idea, an ideology or a propositional nation. It is a country that belongs to a separate and identifiable people with its own history, heroes, holidays, symbols, songs, myths, mores — its own culture.

Again, where is the evidence that the more Americans who can trace their roots to the Third World, and not to Europe, the stronger we will be?

Is the Britain of Theresa May, with its new racial, religious and ethnic diversity, a stronger nation than was the U.K. of Lloyd George, which ruled a fourth of mankind in 1920?

Was it not the unity Bismarck forged among the diverse Germanic peoples, bringing them into a single nation under the Kaiser in 1871, that made Germany a far stronger and more formidable power in Europe?

Empires, confederations and alliances are multiethnic and multicultural. And, inevitably, their diversity pulls them apart.

The British Empire was the greatest in modern history. What tore it apart? Tribalism, the demands of diverse peoples, rooted in blood and soil, to be rid of foreign rule and to have their own place in the sun.

And who are loudest in preaching that our diversity is our strength?

Are they not the same people who told us that democracy was the destiny of all mankind and that, as the world’s “exceptional nation,” we must seize the opportunity of our global preeminence to impose its blessings on the less enlightened tribes of the Middle East and Hindu Kush?

If the establishment is proven wrong about greater diversity bringing greater strength to America, there will be no do-over for the USA.

The Europeans making up the US are incredibly homogenous though by culture and race. Europeans with few exceptions are all very close to each other.

Europeans of 19th century hated guts of each other and were culturally rather far apart from each other. I'd go out on a limb and say that South Italians or Spanish are closer to Persians or Christian Arabs culturally than to Scandinavians. Also, there were not insignificant numbers of Americans of Mexican origin (TX, NM), Chinese, Japanese on West Coast. Difference from present perhaps is that people came here for opportunities to work.

Doesn't change the fact that they are incredibly homogenous. People fought wars for all kind of today considered petty reasons back then. Also science was lesser evolved. However most of them are either Christian or Orthodox, Caucasian (later Asians and Indians) and sport similar traditions and values. Once those issues were resolved they learned to live with each other quickly in peace. Absolutely no comparison to the endless wars of Africans and middle-easterns. America is a success story of Europeans, Asians and Indians.

Also Mexicans are essentially a slightly darker shade of white, similar to many Spaniards, Italians etc. I think as long as the US maintained a tough stance on immigration from Mexico the legal and integrated Mexican immigrants are part of that success story. Easy since they are Christians as well.

Bd6r 2018 Sep 15, 2:32pm

tough stance on immigration from Mexico

I am not sure if that is exactly true. Texans from border areas tell me that there was more or less free movement of people across the border well into late forties. You could just wade across Rio Grande and work on farm, mines, or open store if you had money. For example, mercury mines in Terlingua were worked almost exclusively by Mexicans. I do not know how many of these workers stayed in US, but I would guess many if not most. The difference from today perhaps is that there was next to no welfare, meaning that people who came did not come with the goal of sponging off others. So the immigration was smaller simply because it was the best and most industrious who immigrated. Also there was none of PC idiocy - you immigrated, learned language, and worked, instead of being told how people in whose country you came are oppressing you constantly and how they owe you something.

The Chisos Mine turned out to be the biggest mercury producer in the region, and at times, in the nation. In the town’s heyday of the 1910s and ’20s, as many as 2,000 people lived in Terlingua, which had a post office, company store, hotel, school, and dance pavilion. Most of the residents were Mexicans who had moved north to escape the violence of the Mexican Revolution and oppressive working conditions in Mexican mines. Finding work in Terlingua, they built simple homes of stacked limestone rocks and adobe mortar.

They learned to live together in piece when? You never heard of WWI or WWII?

Homogeneous? Would you like a list of a couple hundred different groups that were totally not homogeneous well into the 20th century and even today? Christian or Orthodox Caucasians? Maybe if your definition of Europe is France and England from the middle ages on. You do know the orthodox were attacked by the Catholics in the crusades don't you? Or that most of the orthodox were under the muslim ottoman empire for centuries.

Don't you know that eventually, in the same way that those "others" melted in to the white group, all these other groups that you fear or disparage will be part of a larger group ?

No, and you don't know that either. You persist in seeing only skin deep, projecting your own constant racism onto everyone else. If you look at Islamic migration throughout history and around the world, you can see that Islamic Hijrah results in violent conquest. The "larger group" is forced to submit to Sharia, as per Islam. The followers of the dead charlatan Mohamad designed, fabricated, and optimized Islam for that purpose. It doesn't matter what color they are, but you can't see that, because your racism prevents you from seeing anything other than what color people are.

I think diversity is dangerous. however not diversity of color , religion etc. You have to have a shared belief, root for the same things, work for the common good. WE don't have that in America, dems hate America and all it stands for. Some recent immigrants are far more American than the liberlas.

Most Polish, German etc in 2-3 generations become Americans. So should others, else this country will be torn apart -if no common belief holds us togher. Ethnic beleifs, mono culture can be a holding point-but our country is already too diverse for that. A common bond of being American and what is good for America-not the unlimited immigration, always look out for the other guy.

Nowadays it is like putting a token colored guy or a trans and then sayng we achieved diversity-whatever that means? Pure hate for the poor white guy from the elft. back then blacks, women etc were not allowed by law -so some alws were needed-now it is almost reverse.

We all share the same belief for democracy and freedom. We all want peace prosperity and progress for ourselves and our children. Those who hate democracy and the freedoms we enjoy are the ones who cause trouble. Radical Muslims, Communists, and the KKK to name a few.

That is, eventually the otherness people see in blacks or asians or people from india or the middle east, will disappear almost as much as the catholic versus protestant did.

Eventually yes. In the meantime, why put up with the hell caused by people who hate us, hurt us, and want to change the democratic system we have that made us Number UNO? Radical Muslims, Communists, and KKK hate our system and want to change it. My advise to:
Radical Muslims....Fuck off. Go back to your barbaric lands and kill all you want out there, not here.
Communists..........Fuck off. Go make your commie societies prosperous before you tell others what works.
KKK.......................Fuck off. Your descendants at some point will be the people you hate. Get some common sense.

Cultural unity actually HELPS civilizations deal with other inequities/problems - class, sexual, religious, etc.

Imagine John Locke having to push for Religious Tolerance for the first time in a country that was 20% Paki, 50% English, 10% Scottish, and 30% Black.

People bring up Rome but the Romans insisted on a core of Roman Values that others flocked to. Venice was a City-State, not a large country. Extrapolating Trading City-State Republic to entire Countries isn't a great idea. And Venice still had rules for guests and residents that did not apply to native Venetians.

Trump has actually caused a dramatic uptick in tribalism. Racists feel more comfortable being open about their racism, and some of the far lefties are doubling down on identity politics. A mistake yes, but it's happening, cause and effect.

CBOEtrader says

Provably wrong.

Go read the wikileaks where HRC backed extremists financed by Soros dressed like Bernie supporters and attack trump supporters, so as to smear both sides.

Trump finally made it ok not to give in to the left's weaponized istphobe-phobeist name calling. This is an amazing societal accomplishment that everyone should thank trump for.

The leftists, both the antifa extremists and CNN and even to a lesser extent the less active leftists like Marcus, are all going though stages of the extinction burst wherein simply accusing others of racism for wrongthink isnt good enough anymore.

Your "argument" was simply wrong. For example, BLM started in 2013, before Donald Trump had even declared his candidacy for POTUS, so you can't blame him for identity politics on the left. As for racists, you had been making some of the most racist posts on PatNet for years before Donald Trump became a candidate. For example, you don't want to import white Nazis from Europe, but you do want to import brown Muslim/Nazis from MENA, because they're brown and the MSM (per Tony Podesta, registered foreign agent for KSA) tell you the "intelligent" and "progressive" thing to do is to import them.

While trolling, you ignore serious questions. For example, if importing African Muslims is such a good idea, why doesn't KSA import them? Africa has millions of black Muslims who could help to 'diversify' (in your superficial exclusively color-based view) Arabia, and yet KSA doesn't import them. Why not? I know the answer, but do you have even the ability to read and analyze the question?

That is Obama who used the FBI like his own KGB/.
How is he emulating Putin, when the iG -an Obama appointee-recommended to terminate McCabe and called out Comey. The other fools ought to be in jail.
Manafort is a moneylauderer and tax evader-yes-but who did he work for when he did those crimes-Podestas. Trump fired manafort after he found out-Clinton kept the Podesta brother till the very end?

Clinton -how much Russian money cma ethrough her foundation-while she was at the state dept. She presented the reset button. Her husband made speech money in Russia. She paid millions to egt the Russian dossier that was used by the corrupt FBI udner Obama. Now that si laudering. Sessions is a scared wirless fool-after mid-terms Trump will geta real AG.

If Manafort is guilty-then his boss the Podesta will have to be looke dat-you don't get the underling and elave the boss alone. Already the southern NY district is looking at Obama white house council because eManafort gave him 4 million-this si going to get ugly- and just like metoo will nsare democrats.

Dems are too dumb-people who live in glas shouses and all. Once the podestas are ensnared-you think they care about the Clintons and their stupid foundation? Justw ait till the mid-terms.

I was referring to Yugoslavia. WW2 pretty much involved most major nations across ethnicity culture and religion. They also weren't limited to Europe or the US only. WW1 maybe mostly a Caucasian affair. But 100 years have passed since, and back then there were conflicts everywhere at most times.

Notice that Yugoslavia was the only major Central/Eastern European country that wasn't deliberately ethnically cleansed by the US/UK/USSR, with minority populations forced into majority countries, like Poles in Ukraine into Poland, or Germans into Germany/Austria from Czechoslovakia, Poland, the Netherlands, etc.

The best way to stop wars of revanchism is to relocate the minority into a majority country of their countrymen.

It's funny, but with the Sudan, South Africa, Arabstinians, Bangladesh, Rohingya, and of course Yugoslavia, Neoliberals want to not only resist partitioning land between ethnic neighbors, but think bringing in longstanding Civilizational Enemies into their Rival's nations is a cornerstone to creating World Peace. And if you don't agree, you're a Nazi.

Ok I'm going with the assumption you skipped class the day they discussed tyrants. Idi Amin was a tyrant. Vlad III was a tyrant. Tokugawa Ieyasu was a tyrant. Nice how you went all strawman with that tyrant crap. Being a strong man leader ignoring or circumventing the rule of law isn't a synonym for tyrant. Putin, trumps idol, certainly isn't a tyrant. He is ruthless and considers the state power as his personal power. But he isn't sending millions of people to Siberia to die.

So cut the bullshit. Trump has tweeted time and time again about using the justice department, military, and security system in ways that are totally against the conventions of the US government, in some cases the constitution, and in some cases simply illegal. Not the first president to do it, but certainly the most blatant. Does he have the balls to fire sessions and start using the justice department as his personal fixer? We will see.
