A Melting Pot?

[steve]

“As I said at the outset, the point is not the same old tired argument that one race or culture is to blame for all America’s ills. It’s that the globalists who’ve hijacked Western governments falsely believe that cultures can be artificially transplanted, intermixed, used and borrowed in the same way these Technofascists have done with DNA, biology, and science in general. Just like they play God in the arena of biosynthesis, believing themselves justified and worthy to wield that incomparable power of modification over life itself, here too they believe they can tweak and modify cultures in vivo like they do mRNA sequences.”

On Culture - From Whence Does It Spring?

I really didn’t want to wade into this debate. Not because I think it to be particularly incendiary, controversial, or divisive, but more for the opposite reason—that any such popularly trending ‘divisive’ issues, which are typically algorithmically contrived, full of manufactured outrage...

“The fact is, anyone with a clear mind can take a look around and see that the ‘rich cultures’ which have embroidered the ‘fabric’ of America do not ‘integrate’ that well at all; in fact, they appear to form fairly sectarian enclaves where they associate only with themselves and do not bother trying to assimilate. Please show me a single instance of a strongly Indian or Arabic community in America which ‘finds common ground’ with a neighboring Puerto Rican community, for instance. Have you ever been to Brooklyn’s Borough Park, typically considered the densest population of Hasidic Jews outside of Israel? Does it look like they interact, integrate, or ‘find common ground’ with the neighboring, heavily-Latino Sunset Park or Crown Heights?”

“Using NYC as an example, the truth is, when anyone refers to a positive or successful ‘cultural integration’, they typically point to a place like Manhattan, particularly the tourist zones of Times Square, where one can see every vibrant stripe and color of cultural enrichment intersecting each other. But in reality, these zones act merely as ‘transit points’ through which these cultures pass, on their way back to their respective siloed enclaves. They are the modern bazaars or souks, where different groups merely find it convenient to shop or work, interacting out of necessity, but at the end of the day, invariably returning to their own separate neighborhoods; the Asians to Flushing, the Whites to Staten Island or the exurbs of Westchester, the Hispanics to Sunset Park, the Blacks to the Bronx, the Indians to Middlesex.”

“Where is it exactly that cultures are positively integrating? Perhaps only in the dementedly conjured laboratories of academia, where under the strict master-hand of leftist Right-Think policy, impressionably idealistic youth are corralled into environments they will later find remarkably untenable out in the ‘real world’.

The Great American Experiment has always been one veiled in layers of subterfuge, gaslighting, and deliberate evasion. Throughout much of America’s post-WW2 ‘golden era’, our views of American culture and general ‘economic miracle’ have been carefully curated by that monolithic arbiter and gatekeeper in one, the mainstream media. This however includes the institution of Hollywood and attendant organs. It is chiefly through their lens that we’re taught of the rich ‘flower’ of American culture and its aspirational ‘melting pot’.

The world was shown one carefully selected slice of the full story. In movie after movie, show after show, America was portrayed as a happy, functional, integrated society, where the great ‘American Dream’ can be shared and freely indulged by all. The numbers, of course, always pointed to a harsher reality beneath the surface.”

We see something similar with animals. We might bring in a group of 8 sheep to our existing flock. They generally stay to themselves and will try and leave the others being totally content with the company within their own group. Lambs raised together (public education?) Tend to be their own group as well, and if they were bottle fed they have zero connection to their mothers.

The saying birds of a feather flock together also describes this.

I don't believe in races....but there is genetic connection among people groups....between families of the earth.

Being forced to associate with people who don't want to associate with you is not freedom. The golden rule should extend to everyone. All should be treated right.

Is it genetic? Can take a baby from anywhere and place it with a family anywhere and, when he is grown, he will behave and identify with the culture he was raised in. Works with animals, too.

People have one distinct difference that makes them not animals, and that is a soul, which is our power of choice over instinct. People, often led by the Spirit, can choose to rise above and leave their culture, and that is freedom that an animal does not have. But, to your second point, the path is an uphill climb because other people don't often accommodate your journey of change. In this, they need the Spirit as well to lead them to choose to overcome their own instincts of self-preservation that would reject the outsider.

This is in-group preference.

Off course we prefer people with similar interest, ethics and beliefs. Why do you think this forum exists? Without common belief in polygyny we would be spending time with other people instead of with each other.

That’s the point, the one-worlders want it to not exist.

Watching the destruction being so well-orchestrated today, I can't help but think it goes deeper still (and more Evil.)

The "one-worlders" want 'civilization' (especially of the Yah-based variety) expunged, and all those who are 'NOT-Them' eliminated.

Precisely.

Doesn't actually work with animals. They still behave more like their other breed than the breed you adopt them into. Behavior is rooted in genetics and is fairly inheritable. A lot of culture is behavioral expectations.

There is a feedback loop between culture and genetics. You can't separate the two.

Integration in America worked well when it was all Northern European (i.e. Germanic) peoples as they were very similar culturally and genetically. Latin and Slavic peoples didn't work nearly as well. Non-Europeans not at all.

The author is right to point out the affect of geography. Our settling the frontiers of America changed us. We are different from our European ancestors because of it. But his example of the Appalachians belies the point. Those folks are mostly Scotts-Irish and the behaviors he mentions tie back to that history as a clannish people. Their settlement in the Appalachians is either a coincidence or an example of how they choose a region because it suited their cultural/genetic impulses.
