What are the cultures that are completely homogenized? Because I can't think of a single one that doesn't borrow huge chunks out of each others cultures through food, music, art, literature, inventions etc.

I mean I guess there are some tribes untouched by outside cultures in rainforests somewhere that would fit this category but I wouldn't go basing my entire political belief system on them.

Or people think that, regardless of the trolling or non of a poster, that making the counterarguments is still worthwhile. It's best to simply not invite Nazis or pretend Nazis or whatever the gently caress along, but a long as they can speak, it's best to show how dumb they are.

Continuing to prove the old adage that white supremacists tend to be the dumbest/worst examples of the race, I see.

I mean, every empire is impermanent; to claim that a racially homogenous empire would last forever is so stupid it's astounding. Most empires even were the type where the dominant group kept all the others as second class (or worse) citizens (or slaves). Hell, possibly the most resilient empire is China which, if you happen to be an ignorant fuckwit Nazi ignorant of history, has a long history of dynasties from various cultures ruling over a multicultural/racial empire.

Seriously, what is an example of an empire falling apart cause it gets too rich/lazy/fat? Racist shitbags keep saying "decadence" is what kills empires, yet they keep failing to bring up examples (or lie when they do).

You know Japan was a loving joke under the shogun, and became a serious player after lifting humongous chunks of culture, technology, and philosophy from Prussia, right?

There is no homogenous monoculture. As far as I see it, the only people with nothing to contribute or who are negative drains on the world are close-minded idiots who want the world to fit into their D&D-alignments-level understanding of the world.

Well maybe I am wrong but I think there is some point to talking with him. To explain myself, I don't think debate is some kind of ritual where the two parties come together to agree that the answer is in the middle at the end. It's much more like a war - the only way debates seem to conclude is either capitulation or retreat of one side or the other.

From that perspective I think debating him is actually a good idea. I think people should let him open himself up, it's only to our advantage. After all - does anyone here think he is going to be able to stand his ground? We all agree that fascism has already proven itself wrong, he obviously has no chance of winning.

Sure enough, there is nothing morally wrong with going after him more directly. However, I don't think it will work online. He obviously doesn't care about bans, or about what you think of him. Maybe in real life such a measure would have some power, as he would have to face some real consequences. Not here though.

Japan isn't linguistically homogeneous, since there are four different "native" languages spoken on the main islands besides Ainu and Ryukyuan. It also isn't ethnically homogeneous, since you have the Ryukyuans, Ainu, Burakumin etc. even without getting into immigrant populations. Culturally, there are all sorts of differences that were even broader before the Meiji attempted to enforce homogeneity on the populace. And this is all recent history, and without getting into any of the issues Japanese society has arguably produced from this desire for homogeneity.

I'm actually not sure if you can find stable homogeneous societies outside of tiny, isolated ones. They seem fairly prone to breaking up into multiple units and absorbing elements of their neighbors.

I never said I agreed with any of it. Just clarifying.


Capitalism is a huge problem, but even a socialist nation (and by that I mean a socialist mode of production in transition to a communist mode of production) would have issues with cultures clashing. It's hardly nebulous, just open your eyes or read a history book. I think you'll find that racial and cultural homogeneity owns.

Only a socialist world order would be capable of preventing cultures clashing by eliminating sources of potential strife like competition over resources, wars between imperialist powers and economic migration. Any Fascist attempt to resolve cultures clashing would be co-opted by national capitalists into an attempt at imperialism and would never resolve the underlying issues of scarcity.

But that's a good thing according to fascism. His complaints about how he'll never get an utopian future are exactly because in his dream world said conflicts are promoted.

I know, i was trying to simplify it for Emden. He probably thinks Italy is pretty much identical other than a somewhat different north and south. Not like modern Italian was almost beaten into people's heads because every village spoke a different kind of Italian.

Culture homogeneity isn't an absolute Yes/No thing, it works like a gradiant (and thus pure homogeneity is impossible to achieve). Because as already said, each area is influenced by other areas that are close from a geographical, economical, or societal point of view. Keeping Japan as exemple, you can certainly find plenty of differences between someone from Tokyo and someone from Okinawa. But if you add a Finnish or a South African to the comparison, suddenly the two japaneses are much more similar, because the cultural exchange between two regions of Japan is way stronger than between far away countries. The bigger the cultural difference is, the harder it'll be for a immigrant to integrate. I can't tell for other countries, but I can say they didn't take this into account when designing my country's immigration policy, so it's not exactly a suprpise poo poo is rising as a consequence.

The Identitäre bewegung has finally reached the Netherlands then? I remember being involved in a chat with McCaine about them a year or so ago. Aside from France and Austria, they were relatively unknown in Europe. A scary prospect it is to see them pop up like this, because as far as mobilizing the far-right goes, these people could be one of the few groups that would be relatively successful at executing its agenda.

Can't remember what they were doing, though - I think it was some 'anticommunist' rally or something.
