#1 Right. Liberal democracy's got to go, then.

#2 I've always thought that the essence of multiculturalism was that all cultures are equal. Since that is preposterous on its face, multiculturalism has seemed to to me at least, to be the product of fuzzy thinking. I think that a healthy skepticism of the multiculties is good for liberal democracy.

#3 Democracy is power to the (i.e. one) people.

Multiculturalism is multiple peoples.

You can see the problem...

#4 Multiculturalism is the social aspect of transnational progressivism (pdf), itself a post-democratic version of sovereignty, in which it is not wielded by the Nation (and thus the people) anymore, but by groups & communities, based on their victimhood.

#5 Give every hund his due. I arrived in Germany a week ago to begin an assignment. I've not spent anytime here since the mid-90's. Times have changed and it appears the Germans are taking very seriously the immigration and foreign import issues which our Washington "leadership" back in the States conveniently continue to totally ignore. I admire the work permit schemes which they enforce. I was also impressed with the numerous "Made in Germany" or "Made in Austria" lables and stamps on goods in the shops and stores. Refreshing to pick something up and NOT see "Made in China" on it.

#6 I've met this fellow a few years ago.

He's very smart but he is self brainwashed in liberal ideology (e.g., he believee in 'dialogue' as an important answer to ethnic hatred, he believed Islamic terrorism in Britain is from non-citizens).

Perhaps, being mugged by reality, he is coming around but I don't think he will ever post on Rantburg.

#8 Multiculturalism: the means by which losers of history have a new opportunity to drag the rest of the civilized world down to their level.

#10 mhw: Maybe we could work on finding a way to contact him and let him know about the 'burg. Having been mugged by reality, maybe he's more "open" to us Vast Right-Wing Conspiracy members.

#12 TRUE definition of multiculturalism as as practiced by the left:

All cultures deserve equal respect, except for Western Civilization which is uniquely bad.
