In a recent post Brett Stevens waded into controversy, attacking both ethnic and racial diversity, sacred cows of our age:
http://www.amerika.org/politics/how-ethnic-diversity-leads-to-racial-diversity/
“In short: “At this point it has dawned on most in the modern West that diversity causes civilizations to decompose from within through internal ethnic conflicts, race guilt and the massive costs of a permanent underclass.
People are simply over diversity. They believed in it because it promised to take an existing situation, where white and black were in tension, and resolve it by accepting everyone. Like most pacifism, it encountered the maxim of history, which is that what you tolerate you get more of, and soon we had ethnic and racial tension exploding in direct proportion to how much we tried to placate it.
What fewer understand is that ethnic diversity destroys civilizations through the same method that racial diversity uses to do so, namely because each group wants to act in self-interest, which means having command of its future, which requires it to have the ability to set standards, which in turn requires it to be the dominant group.”
Good points, but the issue goes deeper. Things are not remaining at some simmering point, but the so-called melting pot is actually melting itself, rapidly dissolving civilised order itself. Recent headlines, indicate quite clearly that we are spiralling down:

At this stage, it is important that we first come to grips with the reality which we face, without superficially advancing “solutions.”
There are said to be five stages of grief with respect to dying which may also be applicable to civilisations as well; denial, anger, bargaining, depression and acceptance:

Most people are still at the “denial” stage, or not even there yet, so we have a long way to go. Hence the need to keep finding out what the latest illnesses are that are crippling our world. You can’t fight that which you know not what.
