For your statement to be true, you must have a very narrow concept of what makes a nation.

I won't say your concept of it is wrong, but it is different from mine, and our debate will meet a roadblock very quickly because of this disparity.

Every single time?


Typically. Ethnically and religiously diverse regions are always more violent than those that aren't. This appears to be true regardless of weapon control. Nations with greater weapon control but higher diversity than the US experience more violent crime. Nations with less ethnic diversity but similar or greater weapon control experience far less violent crime.

Intraracial crime is always higher than interracial of course, but the rate of the latter appears to increase with the disparity between ethnic group and culture.

This is always more prevalent in nations where ethnic homogeneity is the norm and then it isn't, but it remains prevalent over many centuries. Humans fall along lines of ethnic kinship. Historically, tribes of vastly different people rarely interbred. It happened, but not regularly. They will associate more with people of their own kind. War with them yes. Kill them yes. But also associate with them. Tribes became nations along these lines and they prospered.

When these nations conquered other nations they dominated them, and imposed their culture upon them, because no nation that treats all cultures equally will maintain hegemony, and that union must inevitably collapse in a far shorter space of time than it otherwise would.

Also, it's been shown that crows create their own tribes out of flocks, and that their vocalizations can differ between each one.

Henceforth, crows have more culture than America does.

I suppose this is why the more ethnically diverse UK is less violent than the US. =^)

You have proof of any of those claims?


One can examine the rising crime rates in Sweden ever since the introduction of different peoples some decades ago, which have shot up recently since 2014 (migrant crisis), particularly in sex crime.

Similar patterns can also be seen across Germany and Britain.

Image

Or you can look into the study conducted by Robert Putnam published in 2007, as touched on by this article.

https://www.scientificamerican.com/arti ... -distrust/

And if you require any more proof I would simply suggest you look at history and find me one example of a society that prospered beyond the average 250 year lifespan of greatness that empires tend to exhibit as determined by Sir John Glubb, and did so on the basis of being multicultural, tolerant, and diverse, as opposed to the empires that ruled firmly and with one culture above others.

But I would also ask of you to tell me why living in a society where the culture of the people who created it is suppressed to facilitate the cultures of people who did not is preferable, when in the home societies of those same people, no such accommodation is made for us in return.

Why is the West demanded to be multicultural and diverse, but the rest of the world is free to remain homogeneous, if they are, and mono-cultural or with cultural hegemony?

It couldn't possibly be because there's an ideological bias against the existence of Western culture and civilisation could it? There couldn't possibly be an agenda to drown Western cultures in those that are blatant inferior morally and socially to our own, simply because we are better than them, and we must be punished for our success?

Nigerians and Kenyans are a far more different group of people than French and Germans.

As far as the cultural existence of nations are concerned, French and Germans would do better to stay in their own countries. Despite the fact that genetically they are almost the exact same people, Europe has been a site of conflict for millennia and the two cultures despise one another.

Nigeria and Kenya have historically lacked much contact, but for the sake of their own preservation, if indeed it is in their interest, they should prevent the formation of a sizeable minority of either group forming, and then pursuing its own interests within the nation they are not from.
