And who is responsible for reducing culture to a few superficial gimmicks? The New Left. They carried out a sustained and relentless attack on traditionalism and then dove head first into nihilism in the 1960’s.

Now, the cold hard reality of “multiculturalism” is the programmed death of the vast majority of human languages before the end of this century. [/quote]
The left argue that no large scale demographic changes have occurred or are occurring. They also managed to somehow annihilate the concept of national sovereignty - around the early 1990’s they suddenly took border security and immigration policy off the table. Anyone who resisted were driven from public office, journalists were fired etc.
Nationalists don’t realise that they already lost the fight decades ago. Traditionalists have been hapless in their response. They know it’s a fait accompli so they just try to draw out the battle with the nihilists and buy themselves a few more years. [/quote]
You act as if this were only in the liberal interest? The reality is people have been made off of illegal labor pretty much since our country has been around. From indentured servants, slaves, railroad workers, bracero workers, to, “Illegal laborers.” Or whatever you need to call people these days. Both Dems and Repubs have been keeping it this way so that various companies, corporations and even private families can have some form of cheap labor.
If we went from wealthy home to wealthy home in California, and in earnest tried to identify the families that have something like a housekeeper, gardener, or some kind of caretaker for an elderly person, how many families wouldn’t, or don’t pay someone under the table to take care of shit?
That’s how shit has been done in the U.S. since I’ve been alive. Since our grandfathers grandfathers have been around. And you want to pin it on Dems and 1990?
Silly goose.
Maybe the thing about your/my culture is that we rely too heavily on some form of cheap labor, and we have for a very long time. Now, we are reaping the natural fruits of those actions… Since after all part of our culture is exploiting the poor for profit. If I were an alien examining us that would be one of the qualities of mankind in general, so I’m not trying to single the U.S. and our culture out. But since we are talking about culture and cultural norms I figured it should be brought up since we are supposed to be all about democracy, a bastion of freedom and autonomy as part of our culture as well.
