      A healthy society should have: -A self-confident culture -A strong native birthrate -A steady & diverse inflow of immigrants -Thriving non-governmental institutions -Strong norms favoring linguistic, cultural & economic assimilation We used to call these ideas a "melting pot."

      The fact that it is now seen as Literally Nazism to want a society that is *designed* to incorporate a lot of immigrants is a symptom of our malignant political discourse.

          Yo, those four criteria are nearly meaningless. Wtf is a "self-confident" culture? One that asserts itself via a threat of violence? One that claims superiority over others? One that contains lots of self-confident people? And how much immigration? From where? Everywhere?

          But the melting pot took decades to form. People from different cultures often formed their own communities when first coming here. They did not assimilate immediately, and I don't believe those already here made it easy for them.

          If that's your takeaway of the political discourse on this issue, I don't think you understand the substantive critiques of your soft nativism.

          Yes, it is malignant and it has a purpose: fracturing countries from within is a feature not a bug. Together we stand, divided we fall.

          Do you ever think to yourself “that’s so bonkers I must be wrong about something here” Or is it more like “we only have half an engine and a zebra as crew? FUCK IT! FULL STEAM AHEAD INTO THE SEA OF DIARRHEA!!!!”

          Oh, is that why they’re running the concentration camps? To “incorporate” immigrants? Is incorporate slang for “concentrate into camps” now? I’m not always up on the latest lingo.
