Germany to End Multiculturalism
Timothy Birdnow
Germany, the center of immigration in Europe, is going to force people to assimilate or go home - they plan to "promote the dominant culture" aka become Germans.
Does anyone think this would be happening had Harris won?
From the article:
"In an interview with the Daily Telegraph, Alexander Throm, the CDU interior affairs spokesman, said Leitkultur was fundamentally the principle that foreigners should adopt German cultural values and not vice versa.
"It is the way that we live in Germany as a cultural nation,” he said. "It concerns not only our languages and customs, but also our cultural and historical foundations. It ultimately means that people, no matter why they come to Germany, orient themselves towards this cultural basis, not the other way around.”
Respect for the equal rights of women, the rule of democracy and Germany’s post-war constitution are also considered key aspects of Leitkultur by the CDU – in addition to Israel’s right to exist, following the Oct 7 massacre."
End
This is not some sort of fascism, as no doubt it will be portrayed, but rather how nation states work and always have. There is a dominant culture and if you want to take advantage of what a country has to offer you must adopt that culture or go elsewhere. If you don't like that don't come.
The concept that people can carry their culture with them and live in accordance with the values of that culture in other places is a very modern idea. They started pushing that when I was in college back in the mid eighties - multiculturalism. Multiculturalism wasn't just celebrating other cultures, but was about balkanization - allowing multiple cultures to coexist in the same space, like we see in the Balkans or Caucasus or in India. Such places have suffered from sectarian and tribal violence on a huge scale as a result. You cannot have competing cultures in the same space - not for long - without violence.
It took Germany long enough to realize that.
This has been a generation-long social experiment which we now see has failed. How much misery and suffering and damage has it caused?
