Multiculturalism is bad because trying to force opposing cultures into the same space will, by definition, create animosity and conflict. Basic example: Culture A believes the age of consent should be 18 and Culture B believes the age of consent should be 12. How do you satisfy both those beliefs in the same town?
I don't think I portrayed my point very well, it's like climate change, climate change is real because out climate is always changing what climate change isn't is global warming which is what they changed the term climate change to mean. So multiculturalism is good, it's great to have multiple cultures! It's great to learn about food and the way of life in other cultures! It's not good to be racist like the leftists and think multiculturalism is only Black or Hispanics or sometimes Asians.
Hopefully that explains it better.
It’s one thing to learn about other cultures, but in a country, there cannot be different laws for different people. That means one culture has to be the dominant one. If “multiculturalism” means studying other cultures or traveling to other countries to visit, that is one thing, but forcing multiple cultures into one place and demanding they somehow live together in harmony is wrong. Because it doesn’t work. They will not speak the same language, so they cannot communicate. They celebrate different holidays, so work schedules are all off. They wave different flags and burn the ones that aren’t theirs. They have different references and no shared history, so they fail to connect. They raise their children differently, so no established curriculum for schools can form. They demand different styles of clothing. They believe in different punishments for crimes, and what one culture considers a crime, the other does not. They believe in different ages of consent.
What we should instead strive for is separate, independent nations with their own national cultures. That way the people who want to dress, speak, and live a certain way can all gather themselves in a nation where those values are upheld. People who want to dress, speak, and live a different way can then do so in their own nation with their own national culture. This will unite people and reduce conflict, anxiety, and violence around the world. From there, people from one nation can visit and learn about another, but only as tourists. And they have to follow that nation’s culture while they are there.
Yeah I don't understand why multiculturalism would mean following the ideologies of the country that person is from unless you are going to that country.
I think one of the problems is the left has forgotten why America is a melting pot and why it works, that people came here for a new way of life while still holding to their cultural values and beliefs (which these values should not over rule the rules of the country). I also think a lot of it especially when it comes to Islam they think multiculturalism means that we need to respect all of the beliefs of Islam for sake of religious freedom.
Thinking about this actually makes me wonder if the word multiculturalism got the newspeak treatment done to it.
Yes, multiculturalism was a trick word, and all but replaced the melting pot concept. I agree that in a limited way, the idea of “multiculturalism” could be nice, but it’s long been co-opted as a Marxist weapon, so even when we use it in the limited way, it ends up validating the Marxist line of thought. And of course the irony of it all is that what they call “multiculturalism” is actually destroying “multiple cultures” by rolling the world up into this one-world monocultural globalist mush.
