Deconstructing Diversity By Chris Knight

     This site is not for the faint-hearted insofar as it launches an unrelenting attack on the notion of ethnoracial cultural diversity itself, arguing that diverse societies do not work as well as homogeneous ones:

“Diversity drives a civilization insane because it eliminates the ability to have social standards, ideals, directions, and aesthetics. Only what can be shared — the lowest common denominator — persists. Even more, diversity erases the genetic consistency of a population — we call this “ethnicity” — and replaces it with a generic group that lacks all of the specialized adaptations of the original population. This is why empires die and are replaced by aimless, disorganized, and ambitionless third world ruins. A few years later, Robert Putnam released his research showing that diversity destroys trust, social capital, and social order, confirming what I had written over a decade before. It was gratifying to see this as well.

Two years after that, Ann Coulter proved herself among the finest of conservative columnists by pointing out that diversity itself is a threat to our existence, doing it as gently as possible: Never in recorded history has diversity been anything but a problem. Look at Ireland with its Protestant and Catholic populations, Canada with its French and English populations, Israel with its Jewish and Palestinian populations. Or consider the warring factions in India, Sri Lanka, China, Iraq, Czechoslovakia (until it happily split up), the Balkans and Chechnya.

Also look at the festering hotbeds of tribal warfare — I mean the “beautiful mosaic” — in Third World hellholes like Afghanistan, Rwanda and South Central, L.A. “Diversity” is a difficulty to be overcome, not an advantage to be sought. True, America does a better job than most at accommodating a diverse population. We also do a better job at curing cancer and containing pollution. But no one goes around mindlessly exclaiming: “Cancer is a strength!” “Pollution is our greatest asset!”

    Coulter is not the only one voicing scepticism about the notion of diversity, for we have the example too, of leading Black American scholar Thomas Sowell saying much the same:

“If there is any place in the Guinness Book of World Records for words repeated the most often, over the most years, without one speck of evidence, “diversity” should be a prime candidate. Is diversity our strength? Or anybody’s strength, anywhere in the world? Does Japan’s homogeneous population cause the Japanese to suffer? Have the Balkans been blessed by their heterogeneity — or does the very word “Balkanization” remind us of centuries of strife, bloodshed and unspeakable atrocities, extending into our own times? Has Europe become a safer place after importing vast numbers of people from the Middle East, with cultures hostile to the fundamental values of Western civilization? “When in Rome do as the Romans do” was once a common saying.

Today, after generations in the West have been indoctrinated with the rhetoric of multiculturalism, the borders of Western nations on both sides of the Atlantic have been thrown open to people who think it is their prerogative to come as refugees and tell the Romans what to do — and to assault those who don’t knuckle under to foreign religious standards. The recent wave of refugees flooding into Europe include Muslim men who have been haranguing European women on the streets for not dressing modestly enough, not to mention their sexual molestation of those women.

Smug elites in Europe, like their counterparts in America, are not nearly as concerned about such things as they are about preventing “Islamophobia.” Legal restrictions on free speech in some European countries make it a crime to sound the alarm about the dangers to the culture and to the people. In the lofty circles of those who see themselves as citizens of the world, it is considered unworthy, if not hateful, to insist on living according to your own Western values or to resist importing people who increase your chances of being killed. But if you don’t have the instinct for self-preservation, it will not matter much in the long run whatever else you may have.”

     Professor Sowell sums it up well, for in the end the diversity myth will lead to civilisational collapse, because diversity is a curse, not a blessing. To encourage more of it by mass migration, is an act of national suicide, and there is, remember, no way yet off the planet.
