I've just been reading some long discussions at a couple of the high-traffic blogs where the posts run into the dozens or hundreds. The thing that strikes me most is the divisions that are so glaringly evident on those blogs, where there is a more 'diverse' crowd of people, though ostensibly all on the 'right' end of the political spectrum.
As we fret and stew over why our people are in the predicament we are in, and as we wonder why there is no apparent way to stem this tide of destruction that is washing over us, in all Western countries, it seems to me that diversity is at the root of it. And I don't mean the multiracial kind, necessarily; that is just part of it. What I mean is that on many blogs where ethnonationalists, WNs, paleoconservatives, etc. gather, there is a clash among different European ethnicities/regional groups, and religions/belief systems.
It seems the die was cast whenever our country allowed in more disparate groups of people, disparate religions, languages, and cultures. The seed was sown at least in the 19th century in our country with the mass immigration that began in that era. For a time we pretended that we would all blend together into one big happy American 'family', but today we can see that it did not happen, and any apparent 'assimilation' was illusory. The melting pot was a failure, and so here we are. E pluribus, pluribus, as someone said.
If only Dr. Who's tardis was available to transport us back to the crucial eras and see that the seeds had not been planted. But alas, that can't happen. So now we have to think our way out of this, will our way out of it. Is secession or a breakup into more 'natural' units the answer, or is a spontaneous falling-apart in the cards?
I am not sure, however, that it is possible to vote our way out.
I don't know what the answer is; does anyone else have a notion as to how it can be resolved?
