The Downside of Diversity

From multicultural festivals to pronouncements from political leaders, the message is the same: our differences make us stronger. But a massive new study, based on detailed interviews of nearly 30,000 people across America, has concluded just the opposite. Harvard political scientist Robert Putnam -- famous for "Bowling Alone," his 2000 book on declining civic engagement -- has found that the greater the diversity in a community, the fewer people vote and the less they volunteer, the less they give to charity and work on community projects. In the most diverse communities, neighbors trust one another about half as much as...

Not sure if Europe is diverse or homogeneous? Depends on how u look at it. Mostly white, n Christian but various language etc.

But they are at war pretty much all the time. Rome vs Germany
French vs England

Is it to the advantage of Europe, any country in Europe, to go to war with Russia?

I almost think NATO will be broken up, the American occupation of Europe will end (that is what NATO really is!), and Europe may align itself with Russia and leaving the UK out of it which is interesting, because this is the fictional map of 1984:

The UK will align itself with the United States.

“Diversity” is not our strength. Our strength is what unites us across our diversity. Free speech. Self-governance. Meritocracy. TRUTH.


Boom! Another truth bomb from Ramaswamy.

Diversity works in favor of people who have money and power now, so they will support this agenda. But this is being spread in a toxic manner to the people (not the rich), there may be a better way for the rich to do this but this again depends on what is profitable. Imo

Yes, diversity divides the public so that they cannot agree on anything.

And when the public cannot agree on anything, they cannot control the rich and powerful via democracy.

Democracy is supposed to be above any elite class, but it doesn't work if there is too much diversity.

Yes it is more like tribalism

Truth over Tribalism

No more low standards, no more "math is racist", no more neo-Marxist policies, no more AntFa-style anarcho-tyranny

NO MORE !

And such nations descend into chaos and deceleration of societal and national progress (has not happened in our country so far, probably, from a financial standpoint, thanks to brrrrrrrr).

I took a term of Yiddish in college. We read a poem in class, which I can't find online, but started something like this (in my bad transliteration of Yiddish):


Alle menschen seinen brider,
Veise, schwartze, gele, broyne.
S'iz and oysgetrachte meise...


All men are brothers,
White, black, yellow, brown.
It's a made up fairy-tale...

The poem was about how people of different races will never get along and we're each better off with our own people.

No one emigrated to France to become French. No one emigrates to Italy to become Italian. It used to be that people emigrated to America to become “American.”

That last part is important. That used to be the glue that held us together. I fear we’re losing that.

In short, the fastest growing demographic in the modern world is also the one most opposed to liberal democracies and republics. That’s a problem.


Muslims make Mexicans look good by comparison. Mexicans have their issues with crime and violence, but as a rule they don't want to kill you just because you are not one of them. So Europe has a bigger problem than we do.

It blows my mind how people don't inherently KNOW this.
