I personally think that the rise of the concept of the nation-state was one of the worst mistakes ever made by civilisation.

Do you think the Scandinavian countries are pretty nice places? That the Swedish Model is a good example for other countries? The idea of a nation working together for the sake of each other is at the very heart of that political philosophy. You do your part for your nation and your nation will do their part for you. Nationalism is one of the things that made Scandinavian states stand apart from other socialist philosophies and the "we must conquer the world for the proletariat!" line of thinking. But those systems only work as long as there is a strong and uniting bond of national community between citizens.

The idea of nation states is just that people of a shared culture, history, and experience should be ruled by people like themselves. Do you find this idea horrible or mistaken? I would not like to be ruled by Americans, for example, who would not understand our culture and heritage and historical bonds, and so make laws for me which to not fit our demeanour and interests.

LW, I've noticed an unfortunately high amount of word "they" unaccompanied by definition of "they" in the nearby sentences. My reinforcement scheme tells me this may be an indicator for a conspiracy theorist. You should probably avoid looking like one of those guys.

Also, again with "diversity" being bad by default? Diversity is, literally, the most important parameter for any kind of system that hopes to be able to withstand a test of time. Low diversity means that any kind of sudden change in environmental parameters has a high chance of wiping said "low diversity" system out. You can even argue that this is exactly what's currently happening in Europe, as a result of a particular unity (European Union) dominating over such a great number of people - even a small crisis has managed to put the whole system at risk of failing.

You've just fallen for a word trap of re-definition, set by the bureaucrats of Europe, who say "diversity" without actually meaning any kind of real diversity, the one that would most definitely end their current hegemony over European states.

So it has come to good old rivers of blood after all.

I would also like to expand a bit on question Sergarr already made regarding diversity/"diversity" and I'd like to aim it specifically at you, Loud Wispers: in your words we are seeing mainly a bad examples of forced diversity or kek cultural enrichment as you often put it, but surely there is a way to have multicultural society without any culture trampling over another? So what do you propose in stead of current format, as you seem sure that one has failed spectacularly? You have mentioned what could be done in some past posts like letting foreign people study here bond with locals and grow fond of country they are staying in, but what about here and now - what plans, if any, would save the Europe before the cataclysmic end-times you are sure to happen?

Asking because even though we here are just some random internet people who probably can't change anything but empty discussions about solutions sure beat empty discussion about imminent apocalypse.

Multicultural societies are self-destructive unless there is a dominating culture that effectively causes the others to submit to it. This is why the system of the US is more or less working, while it's a miserable failure in Europe. However, Europe is already made up of dozens of countries, all with their own unique cultures. Why does it need more "diversity", especially from people who hate liberal European values? It's simply idiotic.

Diversity vs "diversity". One is two ore more different cultures living side by side in peace, other is a forced boiling pot, a mix of of either one dominant culture to thep oint of subjugating all other or a situation where neither culture is recognized fully and all you need is a bit of nationalistic nudge on either side to start the fun ethnic cleansing rollercoaster.

Of course, this is all incredibly vague as is the line between diversity and "diversity" as we should first define what it means "different" culture to begin with. Different religions living in the same country? People of different color? People who share both religion and color but are historically from different parts of the world? Doesn't do much good if we just brush it off with wide generalization.

Plus, even within a country there are variations in culture.

Probably the main reason why the US system more or less works is because we started out as an amaglamation and so, more culture input just adds to the amaglam already there. Probably an oversimplification, but yeah.
