Human Nature: Hunker Down Against “Diversity”

July 14th, 2008 · 3 Comments ·   ·

My God! How stupid can these idiots be? It takes a huge amount of insanity for people at Bill Clinton’s level of involvement in reality to be ignorant about basic human nature, but it appears he is:

President Clinton warns of growing polarization

“Underneath this apparent accommodation to our diversity, we are in fact hunkering down in communities of like-mindedness, and it affects our ability to manage difference,” Clinton said.

If you are not in a position, as Clinton is, in which you are frequently presented with demographic facts and data, you have a bit of an excuse for believing the “diversity is strength” nonsense. Chances are, you’ve been indoctrinated into accepting muliticulturalism as a prima facie good. And you go about your life promoting fairy tales that don’t correspond with the way the world actually works.

I have a cousin who until recently taught at a highfalutin, self-described “progressive” private school in a major midwest city. The school’s web site goes to great lengths to describe all the wonders it does in instilling a “respect for diversity” through indoctrinative classes; word-of-the-month programs that focus on discussion about words of inclusion; and, a minorty scholarship program that assures the student body’s race and ethno-cultural mix is kept precisely at “the right” level of diversity.

The irony here, that school managers are too intellectually bankrupt to see, is that their teaching staff, with one exception, is made up entirely of white women who by their photos appear to be between the ages of 25 and 55. You just can’t teach “diversity” while not playing by multiculturalist rules without the students registering it…at the very least…on a subconscious level. In other worlds, most bright kids intuitively know that the whole diversity industry is a sham. Whether they are able to see it clearly enough to consciously overcome it is another issue.

It seems obvious that this sort of indoctrination, which has been integral to our institutions for more than 40 years, is the sort failure that intelligent folks should have predicted. So, here is Bill Clinton bemoaning the predictable. Unfortunately, when the obvious is so distasteful to progressive elites, the only solution they will offer is more of the same, and more rigid enforcement of diversity throughout society. Here’s what Clinton hints at when he speaks of an “ability to manage difference:” More and bigger government, along with more opressive governing.

The left’s commitment to egalitarianism is a Quixotic quest to attain something too fundamentally in opposition to human nature. It seeks an impossible equality that expects total mutual understanding between all peoples, regardless of differences in language and cultural beliefs, about things as fundamental as the meaning of life itself.

Maybe the only thing that can cure us of this patent evil is to outlaw the existence of gated communities. Let elititist fools live in abject fear of the common rabble and their affinity for such leftist ideas will vanish.

That’s a fact.

    Great solution! A good dose of reality is usually just the medicine to provoke the arousal of one’s acumen.

    I second Rainwolf, it’s a great solution.

    Some time back I commented to a VFR article concerning the defects of libertarianism to the same effect. My solution was to gather up 5 or 6 thousand dyed-in-wool true-believing libertarians (who pride themselves on their deep understanding of human nature, incidentally), and to help them establish a community in their own image, after their own likeness; to have no interaction with them for five to ten years, after which we’d check on them to see how many dyed-in-the-wool, true-believing libertarians were left in the community. ;-)

    You’re right about pure libertarianism. Heck, let’s see how economic libertarians act after we do away with the “protectionism” afforded them by government regarding patents, intellectual property, trademarks and copyrights. Tell them that “free trade” is just that: entirely free from government regulation.

    It’s obviously clear that we all expect government to be protectionist and are just arguing about where the lines are drawn. I say either remove all the lines or draw them so that every American is protected from the cousins of usury. Period.
