Twenty years past the terror attacks on the World Trade Center that killed three thousand people and almost crashed our economy, we have failed to learn the lesson of 9/11: diversity means a fifth column walking among us who will wage war on us if they can.
We ignore that because in order for us to have faith in diversity, we have to believe in pacifism. In a diverse society, each group is dominated by some other group. This gives the first group a choice: either accept being vassals, or rebel against whatever group has the power, sort of like a racial and ethnic French Revolution.
Our current dogma holds that because we are so nice that we invite others in, they will be pacifists, and instead of waging war on other groups in the desperate struggle for power that diversity creates, everyone will embrace our mutual interests and give up their ethnic heritage, erasing their culture and identities.
This notion, called “assimilation” or “integration,” is a call for soft genocide. It requires foreigners to give up who they are in order to become little versions of who we are, even if their needs are different. It is a passive-aggressive form of subjugation and it is not surprising they fight back with crime and violence.
The assimilation pacifism has not manifested. Instead we get constant internal conflict, both jockeying for power here, and carrying through the political traumas of their home nations. Our culture has been replaced with a non-culture in order to tolerate the cultures of others, and yet they wage war on us.
If anyone had been thinking (rare) the events of 9/11 would have been seen as a neon sign screaming out that diversity not only is dysfunctional but likely fatal. Instead of confronting that obvious reality, we have spent twenty years in denial while importing the world to come conquer us.
