“Separating the left from the right, maybe. An all-White state is no guarantee of sanity. Look at Vermont, which has virtually no non-Whites.”
Yes value system differences are also a fault line in the peaceful coexistence of a society. Differences in religion being a prime example.
And Vermont is a great example of the benefits of NOT having too many differences in a society either racially or philosophically - an all white, overwhelmingly liberal state where people coexist very peacefully. Same with Scandinavian countries.
For a long time Utah, Idaho and other western states were examples of overwhelmingly white but CONSERVATIVE societies who also lived in blissful harmony. That has started to change with changes in demography.
And I’m sure Africa had many countries or tribes that had peaceful coexistence.
So if you want live rather peacefully, a more homogeneous population is the way to go.
That though can have some drawbacks in that it may become too stagnant and boring. So having a bit of “irritants” or diversity of thought can help a society progress.
After all, it does take the irritation of a grain of sand to make a pearl.
So a bit of stimulation is fine and desirable. Too much can lead to a miserable life.
I think in this country we’ve reached the point of having way too much.
Do you agree?
As I said, I’d prefer to keep a nation open to those that share similar ideals and values. If you come here to pervert them, roll up the welcome mat. At the moment, however, we need at least a 20-year moratorium on legal immigration to begin to assimilate them, perhaps longer. But there’s a whole laundry list of problems that need addressing.
