Episode notes
Multiculturalism's Hidden Costs
- Multiculturalism's implementation can produce real cultural and social costs that weren't fully acknowledged when it was sold.
- Dave Smith argues rapid demographic change can undermine social trust and national cohesion.
Cultural Hostility, Not Relativism
- The conflict isn't about relativism but about hostility toward Western, white, Christian norms, Dave Smith says.
- He contends critics often single out Christianity and bourgeois American norms for exclusion.
Politics Rooted In Personal Resentment
- Some critics of Western culture express self-hatred or resentment rather than reasoned political argument.
- Dave Smith links anti-establishment views to personal grievances against authority figures.
