I’ve never understood why leftists don’t like this. Because they claim to love diversity and go even further saying every individual person is a special snowflake, but all they allow is collectivism and uniformity to a single way of life. No differences allowed. It’s fucking weird, especially since most of them don’t even realize they don’t practice what they preach.
As I am from the UK I can say that the people from North Africa and the Middle East that are illegal immigrants and economic migrants (not refugees) are NOT doctors. They say that they are only doing it to find a better life, I don't dispute that but by emigrating illegally they impoverish native populations and turn themselves into wage slaves in the process. After all, they cannot demand min wage if they do not legally exist. What are they going to do, go to the police?
Illegal immigration harms everyone involved, don't be cucked like the UK, always keep strong borders.
If they really gave a shit about appropriation then black people would have to give up everything except for afros, dancing, and some types of music. Everything else they would have to give up including sports.
Have you ever heard a Marxist complain about non-white people appropriating St.Patrick's day or Oktoberfest? Or eating Spaghetti / Pizza? They can wear cultural European dresses, but if a white girl wears a Chinese dress to prom Twitter loses their minds.
it is not fairly new.read the kalergi plan and culture of critique by kelvin McDonald.The left always hid behind shadows while operating.WW2 was a win for liberalism not for any of the countries involved.
I didn't say the idea was, I said the NPC programming was. "Diversity" wasn't a central talking point just a decade or two ago, and now it's hardwired into every one of their brains.
A dozen years ago they were more concerned with endless wars and oil spills, terrorists and drug cartels. Obama ran on many of the same things Trump did, and they treated him like black jesus heralding the 'end of racism.'
I would much rather visit a country that had a single, traditional way of life (and that was accepting of tourists, naturally) than a melting-pot, catch-all nation with no distinct tradition.
Oh absolutely, communities need to have shared values and identities to be successful. But accepting differences of other communities in a connected world is how we succeed together as diverse nations, and how we can maintain peace with countries like Japan, Poland, etc.
But I agree 100% individual countries must retain their own identities, culture, etc.
But the left isn’t about that. They say they like diversity, while simultaneously requiring everyone be exactly the same worldwide. All culture must be the same. All politics must be the same. All interests must be the same. NO DIFFERENCES ALLOWED!
How can leftists simultaneously believe in "equality" and "diversity"? No... really? Equality means "be equal" and diversity means "be not equal"... This is why there is so much hypocrisy in leftist philosophy; it's hypocritical to the core.
The real truth is that neither equality nor diversity really matter too much. There are advantages to both, and disadvantages to both. Just let nature govern how people want to act. AKA: freedom.
Didn't you hear? Sweden didn't even have a culture until the Muslims started moving in.
I used to be (and to a degree still am) tolerant of the diversity-is-strength mantras when talking about the US. We're a nation of immigrants after all, and a shining beacon to the world of how a shared culture of freedom is stronger than ethnicity.
But then I saw what the globalists were doing to Europe, and realized this isn't about that at all. It's instead some kind of cultural Marxist poison that wants to mix everyone together so there's no way to tell which traditions are superior to others. It's not even about making immigrants assimilate and adopt the host culture. They don't even care about that.
Like why is England so obsessed with diversity? England for the Englishman - Italy for the Italian - any other way leads to slavery.
We're a melting pot, not a salad bowl. Our culture of freedom is derivative of English culture. We are an English nation. The point is that anyone from any nation and of any race can come here, but they still must assimilate to our culture and embrace our creed.
It wasn't always that way. America before the civil rights and the Hart cellar act, wanted just white people of good character to come. the melting pot theory is just what globalists want to use and destroy the identity of the nation; a nation can only be maintained by people of unique identity when they are mostly in the majority.
America was never meant to be very diverse so much that it would be weaponized against American citizens. There are great minorities and minority groups but the white Americans have to preserve their culture.
I took a trip to France a couple of years ago. Paris looks nice with all it’s older architecture (RIP Notre Dame though) but the atmosphere wasn’t great. Crows of loud protesters gathering everywhere, including the tourist areas, being loud and making it difficult to get around.
The best food i had in Paris was, no joke, from a Lebanese immigrant’s restaurant. Family-owned, relatively inexpensive, large delicious dishes. The French restaurants even not in tourist areas were overpriced and very heavy. The wine was fine. I give them credit for their cheese platters though.
The countryside had much better food in my opinion, and actually classically French instead of over-prepped or foreign.
They hate white people. They think white people are somehow the cause of racism (they're not) and they hate how successful literally all nations of white people are compared to the rest of the world, especially to all the shitholes in Africa.
Leftists' "diversity" is a codeword to destroy majority white nations, replacing their population with a mix of any non-white people, destroying the heritage of white people, and ultimately suppressing and "punishing" white people when they're in the minority with bullshit like "reparations", at best.

How many illegal immigrants/migrants are in the UK now? Not just the current wave, but the entire total?
It is hard to say, here are some semi-recent figures: https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-6187139/Illegal-immigration-Britain-rising-70-000-year.html
Brave and stunning.
They used to. This 'diversity is our strength' bullshit is fairly new programming.
There are still vestiges remaining with the whole "Cultural appropriation" bullshit, which is totally counter to their new diversity bullshit.
It's like how the Communists were all about Free Speech when they were out of power - flag burning, etc.
(Fun Fact: The ACLU was accused of being created by Communists for the purpose of using liberty arguments to protect Communist agitators.)
But as soon as the Communists marched through our institutions, Free Speech went out the window. They now use pejoratives like "Free Speech radicals".
"Diversity is our strength" can be traced back as a general idea to Karl Popper's Open Society. And probably earlier.
If they really gave a shit about appropriation then black people would have to give up everything except for afros, dancing, and some types of music. Everything else they would have to give up including sports.

I'm looking at you, France.

Seriously, try Japan.
I'm going to Taiwan (the Republic of China, formally) next year. Quite excited for it.
I think it's more than that, since it's promoted in countries with no history of immigration or votes to buy.
