Australian multiculturalism is a strong stream with many tributaries : Comments

By Vic Alhadeff, published 9/12/2015

The success of a multicultural society - and its failure, as is increasingly evident in parts of Europe - is predicated on a symbiotic relationship between majority and minority.

Sorry but multi-CULT-uralism is a polluted river that was designed by communists at the height of the cold war to be polluted, so that it would die.

Australia is the most failed multi-CULT-ural nation on earth. Per capita we have more problems than France. It is only a matter of time before thousands of us are killed & tens of thousands of women are raped.

We must return to monoculturalism ASAP.

"Former Commonwealth chief rabbi Jonathan Sacks wrote in The Dignity of Difference that "universalism is an inadequate response to tribalism and no less dangerous."

Yes, and let us not forget that nationalism is no less dangerous either!

Of the three, tribalism is best so long as your tribe is not aggressive towards other tribes - and the smaller your tribe is (including the author's own tribe), the less likely it is to be aggressive.

imacentristmoderate has just demonstrated just how tenuous his grip on reality really is.

Some good has come from Tony being deposed. He is now speaking the truth openly rather than waffling on like those who backstabbed him are.

"Universalism being no less dangerous than tribalism."

Unexamined that sounds correct.

But universalism can be peaceful when all agree on the same aspects of
Government and religious belief.

Universalism however,can become dangerous when one group, religious,
Tribal or otherwise gets the numbers to start pushing their own agenda and ideas for living on another tribal group.
And fundamental religions are bloodline tribes, Because they only marry within
Their own religious circles. They are very aware of this tribal bloodline connection.
So they help and succour their own first.

This is why multiculturalism is a potentially dangerous threat to any country that
Embraces it. How often do we see demands for separatist states and civil wars over territorial control happening all around the world as we speak.

I would come to the conclusion that universalism is less dangerous than bloodline tribalism. Once you inject any form of tribalism be it religious or otherwise.
Into universalism that's when the civil wars can occur.

As you say, multiculturalism is relatively stable at the moment for the reason that your tribe and others here don't yet have the numbers to challenge the main tribe for control.

I have always said multiculturalism will result in Australia being divided up into
3 countries in a few generations, but there will be civil war and a lot of bloodshed
First.
The terror attacks in our cities are a mere forerunner to this and in a generation or two will descend into full blown riots and civil war.
Muliculturalism is dangerous
