The Disastrous View of Multiculturalism
Multiculturalism, despite its touted benefits, may actually lead to the downfall of Western civilization. The problem lies in the belief that all cultures are equal and should be respected and included, which ignores the fact that not all cultures have the same moral values. This Western narcissism has led to the championing of multiculturalism and the opening of borders without sufficient assimilation. This has resulted in societal breakdown, crime problems, and a breakdown of civic bonds.
The Challenges of Multiculturalism
Multiculturalism poses three main challenges. Firstly, the importation of people with different values and beliefs leads to a breakdown of societal norms and increases crime rates. Secondly, in welfare states, mass migration becomes financially burdensome as public resources are taxed. Finally, multiculturalism broadens the Overton Window, allowing radical views to gain a foothold in the host society. Multiculturalism can only be a strength when it serves a common purpose and embraces shared values.
Multiculturalism, we are told, is a wonderful thing. Sure, that all sounds wonderful. We all enjoy the benefits of cross-cultural exchange – the diverse food, music, and literature of various different cultures – at least when we’re not being accused of cultural appropriation for enjoying those things. But, multiculturalism may very well be the downfall of western civilization itself.
