Hot take: Multiculturalism is good

sk8erboii

Reactionary types beware: Multiculturalism is defined as the spread of people and ideas.

I know you're already thinking about white genocide, catholic oppression and that liberal arts girl that rejected you for being rough around the edges. But hear me out, because im about to tell you why multiculturalism is good.

The one reason: It's the default state of humanity.

You ever wonder why those forgotten tribes like in the sentinel islands is rare and in many ways primitive? Because they are not like us. The rest of the world has managed to collectively cooperate. One guy comes up with a great idea and someone else from another country copies it and improves it. Thats multiculturalism.

I made this thread as a response to the obvious xenophobic hatemongering in other posts.

Like some scumbag throwing acid to a child's face, somehow implicates every immigrant and they should be put under a proverbial spotlight. Its tenuous logic at any point of view.

Right now I want you to imagine if Ireland became your insular and backwards utopia. Forget about the Wakanda syndrome (That if a nation somehow closes its borders and focuses on itself it will become advanced) and look at case studies. The empire Japan is the poster boy for the self-serving xenophobic nation state. And it was 200 years behind until it stopped the blockade then it entered modernity.

If Ireland had no multiculturalism (which includes the Catholic church) it would literally be a depressing backwater even moreso than it was for hundreds of years. Everything you ever owned, knew and f*cked is influenced by foreign people.

That doesn't mean genocide, asmuch as self-victimizing citizens in the top 10 quality of life in the world would have you think. It simply means acknowledging that Ireland and multiculturalism are deeply intertwined, even back to the building of 'native' structures (which were built by people that came from spain, scandinavia and france).

Ireland's golden days when it was all 'native' never existed. In fact, those days were among the most depressing and oppressive in history that the population never recovered. Blighted by a food that came from Peru.

So you define multiculturalism in your 'insular' way as mass migration?You're using weird mental gymnastics and illogical 'insular' statements (one that leads to obvious answers, but have no actual theoretical values)I'm asking you, are there any successful insular nations today?Or is interdependence and exchange of peoples and ideas is how humanity has operated since forever?

Nope. Btw you're the one going on about 'insular' for some reason. Note: Multiculturalism is not defined by any dictionary as the the "spread of ideas and peoples" (sic).

Again as to what was asked:

your statement

The vast majority of people accept multiculturalism as a net positive lad.

The question

Who do? Where? Please provide accurate figures to show that is so.

An answer to that. Thanks.

Mate how are you not getting what im saying. Its the default state of humanity. People are open to other people and their ideals. Your denial of this is actually insane.

Was your laptop made in Ireland? Was your car? Your favorite movie?Statistically speaking not even your DNA is from Ireland.

So how can you deny that you do not accept multiculturalism when nothing about you was made in a vacuum?

And stop with the wordplay and mental gymnastics.

Hmmm your refusal to answer the question asked is very very strange indeed. You are babbling - so let's keep it simple.

That’s basically how it’s defined, to become multicultural a nation needs migration.

You're using weird mental gymnastics and illogical 'insular' statements (one that leads to obvious answers, but have no actual theoretical values)

I'm asking you, are there any successful insular nations today?

Or is interdependence and exchange of peoples and ideas is how humanity has operated since forever?

Ill answer it for you:

There are no successful insular nations today. Every nation has had it's success due to the exchange of ideas and peoples. Every.

Japan is pretty successful. China is successful. Korea is successful.

The exchange of ideas isn’t the definition of multi culturalism. In fact as I explained earlier even immigrant countries didn’t call themselves multi cultural until the past generation. The US preferred to call itself a melting pot, ie immigrants melted into the existing culture.

You realise you are defining your own version of multiculturalism here (again). Apparently free trade is multiculturalism. It isn’t.

I've answered your question 10 times since page one lol.

Literally every nation that has ever existed participated in multiculturalism. You're doing the Alex Jones thing of asking like a really nonsensical rhetoric and thinking you're smart because you keep repeating it.

But i'll repeat. Every nation that has every existed has participated in multiculturalism and has benefitted from it.

I'll give an inverse of your question to contextualize how stupid it is:

Has any nation become prosperous and successful by being insular?

The answer is no, because you close yourself to trade, ideas and useful people.

In either case, it's easy to see you have had zero formal education on the subject.

There's so much wrong there it's hard to know where to begin.. you can't honestly compare our current situation to that of the native americans.. 15th century english settlers? Statutes of Kilkenny was a century earlier.. multiculturalism is down to MNCs importing educated people to work for them? That's why we have thousands of Brazilians and English in Ireland?

You obviously didn't read the previous post about the importation of cheap labour, and you do know what language we speak here now?

I'm not defining it in my own way. Im condensing it. But define multiculturalism as any way and you can see that it boils down to coexistence (which predicates movement) and different ethnographic classes (scientists, lower, middle, upper classes, different nationalities etc etc)

What they're defining it as is 'mass migration' which is 100% part of MC but is not entirely it.

Meanwhile, im inversing his question for context. Has any nation become successful by becoming insular?

For a man who is totally defining his own terms here you might want to be a bit more humble about your own ideology.

Free trade isn’t multi culturalism. Watching American movies isn’t multicultural. Even countries with historical patterns of immigration aren’t necessarily multi cultural.

See wiki here.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multiculturalism

Which says

Multiculturalism as a political philosophy involves ideologies and policies which vary widely.[1] It has been described as a "salad bowl" and as a "cultural mosaic"[2] - in contrast to a melting pot.[3]

Multiculturalism, then, doesn’t entail just immigration or existing nation or ethnic groups in a state - a necessary but not sufficient condition - but treating these cultures as equal of respect.

Those are really bad examples mate. Japan became successful when it stopped its blockade in the late mid 19th century and let Americans and Europeans in for their industrial technology.

Saying china is insular is kinda racist, considering they consist of 56 ethnic groups. Unless you're saying they all look the same ?

Dunno about Korea.

Multiculturalism greatly facilitates the exchange of ideas. Its incredibly pedantic and self serving to say its not strictly MC, but how are you going to deal with Japanese electronics company if neither speaks the other's language?

You are ranting there again I'm afraid. You have again failed to answer the simple question asked and have provided no figures whatsover as to whom and where 'multiculturalism' is seen as a 'net positive' (sic). End of story.

You are also confusing trade and commerce with 'multiculturalism' - a word which has been pointed out - that you dont know the meaning of.

Bull$hit. Saudi Arabia is a nation, Saudi Arabia exists, yet it doesn't want to participate in any sort of "multiculturalism" whatsoever, yet the gangster House of Saud is at the apex of what determines global policy for the rest of the planet outside its own self. Looks like they truly benefit from ditching this multiculturalism lark. They order everyone else about while under this policy so it must work.

That’s precisely the problem.

Classes are not ethnographic categories. Nationalities are. So one thing right there.

What they're defining it as is 'mass migration' which is 100% part of MC but is not entirely it.

In general nobody talked about multicultural states prior to modern patterns of migration. Even the US was described as a melting pot, which as I have said before (and the wiki confirmed) isn’t the same thing.

Meanwhile, im inversing his question for context. Has any nation become successful by becoming insular?

This form of language by you is of course a verbal trick. The opposite of multiculturalism isn’t insular, and that word has many implied meanings including a resistance to trade, autarky, or just simply being an island. Is it possible to be insular, to have one dominant culture and little immigration, while engaging in trade and some cultural interchange with the rest of the world - sure japan does that.

Saudi arabia? The one that conducts global trade, using american capitalist values and imports people from all over the world (sociologists, nurses, scientists, computer experts etc) to compensate for its lack of development in these areas?

Saudi is pretty insular, but still participates in MC. Bad example.
