We hear a lot about how the diversity experiment is going well. Many of us have heard this since the late 1980s, still too underconfident to trust our gut which says that of course this is logically inconsistent. Yet the propaganda from morons continues.

The grim reality is that for normal functional people, who are probably two-fifths of the population, diversity is massively unpopular. It is obviously genetically replacement, which is like having your children sterilize themselves. It is death for all.

The fact remains that most people no longer view diversity as a strength. In fact, many of them see diversity as a source of decline, like that which blighted Egypt, Athens, and Rome:

A new CNN poll has found that a third of Americans believe diversity is a threat to the nation’s culture, a number that’s tripled since 2019.

In a similar poll conducted five years ago, 11% of respondents said diversity was “threatening,” compared to 33% who say the same today. Two-thirds of Americans said diversity enriches American culture, which is down from 82% in 2019. Specifically, survey takers were asked: “Overall, do you think having an increasing number of people of many different races, ethnic groups, and nationalities in the U.S. is mostly (threatening) or mostly (enriching) American culture?”

The numbers keep going up as the diversity failures intensify. People are slowly wakening from the stupor and going outside the narrow channel of narrative to see that instead of a “strength,” diversity is “threatening.”

Of course, they are correct: diversity ends civilizations. No matter who you are, you depend on having a functional civilization, so civilization killers like the war of the have-nots against the haves and its offshoots like diversity and socialism are stealing your future.

In democracy, like in exoteric religion, our thoughts are reoriented from the world to a diorama composed of symbols. Whether these are good/evil or patriotism/otherness in basis does not matter; these are a narrowing of awareness to just a few parts so that we can feel “in control” as we manipulate those symbols in our heads.

Eventually the symbols lose their power because instances of behavior that they do not explain become too numerous. Cracks appear in the narrative, and people look for alternatives. This happens slowly and only to certain segments of the population.

As we like to say around here, the problem with democracy is not quantity but quality; the 51% who decide the issues are not the 0.1% who can understand them. No one from that group would ever want diversity, fundamentalism, socialism, or a bureaucratic administrative state.

But slowly, the 1990s mantra “diversity is our strength” has given way to skepticism of the narrative that says that diversity is good and the only thing holding it back is White racism (a common sentiment in the 1990s).

For example, the victimhood perception has flipped among Republicans:

Groups that Republicans are more likely than Democrats to say experience a lot of or some discrimination:

• White people (55% of Republicans vs. 21% of Democrats)
• Evangelical Christians (57% vs. 31%)
• Men (42% vs. 27%)
• People who are religious (63% vs. 51%)

Democrats are more likely than Republicans to say that 15 of 20 groups included in the survey face a lot of or some discrimination. These are the widest differences:

• People who are gay or lesbian (90% of Democrats vs. 50% of Republicans)
• Black people (94% vs. 54%)
• Immigrants who are in the U.S. legally (84% vs. 45%)
• Hispanic people (90% vs. 54%)
• Women (80% vs. 47%)

Democrats are sticking with the narrative because their only interest in diversity is in using it to force “equality” to be the dominant social order. They have no idea what they mean by that but they want it anyway because the symbol of equality causes them to have a happier emotional mental state.

However, for Republicans, the Boomer Narrative of evil Whites versus whitish people (Southern, Irish, Eastern, Med Euros), homosexuals, women, and diversity has fallen apart. We see that sixty years of 14A-inspired civil rights and affirmative action policies have favored minorities over the founders.

The positive side of this is that even outside of the Republican group, the Evil Whites versus Holy Diversity narrative has started to show cracks as people believe that racial discrimination is no longer targeted against minorities:

Slightly less than half of U.S. adults believe that Black people face “a great deal” or “quite a bit” of discrimination in the United States, according to a poll. That’s a decline from the solid majority, 60%, who thought Black Americans faced high levels of discrimination in the spring of 2021, months after racial reckoning protests in response to the police killing of George Floyd.

Significant numbers of Americans also think diversity, equity and inclusion efforts, also known as DEI, are backfiring against the groups they’re intended to help, according to the survey from The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research, including many people who belong to those groups.

About 4 in 10 U.S. adults say DEI reduces discrimination against Black people, while about one-third say this about Hispanic people, women and Asian people. Many — between 33% and 41% — don’t think DEI makes a difference either way. About one-quarter of U.S. adults believe that DEI actually increases discrimination against these groups.

In other words, we see a slow steady falling here of pity for the foreigner, which is the opposite to how things were going during the 0’Clinton years. Half of Americans think DEI is useless or harmful, and half of Americans think discrimination against darker people is essentially over.

This means that the West is primed for a rejection of the “moral” cause behind diversity because the practical results have unseated it. With most seeing less discrimination, we no longer have a handy Soviet-style reason to explain away the failures of diversity.

Even more, it seems that people now are closer to accepting that each group acts in its own genetic interests; demography is destiny and diversity, by extension, is destruction. The public eye turns away from a pity narrative and toward the question of whether diversity by virtue of its structure is able to achieve its goals or not, and whether it is destroying civilization.

Correlary: more people now than ever before — although this is informal — seem to accept that we are in full civilizational decline like falling Rome in its final days, and that when that happens, we will be genetically broken and unable to rise again.

Perhaps the racial split on diversity serves as the most useful reminder:

While a slight majority (53%) of all Americans say that growing diversity makes the country a better place to live, Asian Americans (66%) and Hispanic Americans (61%) are the most likely to agree.

Americans tend to say that legal immigration into the United States should be kept at present levels (43%, with 28% each saying it should either increase or decrease). Hispanic Americans (34%) are the most likely group to favor increased legal immigration to the United States, while a majority of African Americans (56%) and half of Asian Americans (50%) say it should remain at present levels.

Partisanship is significantly associated with views on immigration and diversity across and within racial and ethnic groups.

Every group votes with its interests. Hispanics, the major source of immigration, want more immigration, but the average voter who has no idea what is going on thinks “present levels” (he probably has no concept of what these actually are) work well enough.

But in other news, the notion that “diversity makes the country a better place to live” has died with White and whitish Americans, although minority groups represent there own interests by wanting more of it. Blacks seem to have figured out that they are getting replaced.

Whites have figured out that they are getting replaced, too, which is why enthusiasm for DEI/ESG is falling along with trust in other kinds of PC:

According to the latest Bentley University-Gallup Business in Society survey, 69% of U.S. adults say it is extremely or somewhat important for businesses to promote DEI — the lowest level since tracking began in 2022. Only 35% say businesses are doing an excellent or good job at promoting DEI, which is also a new low.

In a diverse society, we all vote with our ethnic interests, and buy according to our cultural needs, which shatters the once-powerful unified consumer market and replaces it with expenses niches.

More significantly, it shows a shift in understanding of diversity. We once viewed it as a strength that would spontaneously generate wealth and success for us. Now we view it as a condition of life which like so many others must be carefully managed.

The evolution of this thought continues, of course. If it divides us, cannot be addressed with programs to improve it, and creates instability as well as high cost, why keep it around? As more ask this question, the obvious end of politically correct dogma reveals itself.
