Up to a point. As in the tower of Babel, if a society's diversity reaches a level where communication breaks down, then there can be no method of error-correcting. Leaving destruction inevitable.

Sounds like a just-so-story. Needs more grounding in reality, an example perhaps?

Common sense says “no”. In any case, “society” never rules any country. A secretive, much smaller and much less diverse ruling class always does.

And the more ideologically heterogenous a society is, the harder it is to coordinate.

We're not mentally equipped for it I'm afraid

This is acceptable, as long as THEY are the secondary level of defense and US are the primary level. Or use THEY as cannon-fodder.

The great Chicago Bulls teams were ideologically homogeneous, everything goes through Jordan and Pippen. Glad to see all of that success teams had in exploiting their weaknesses.

That’s an interesting story but I’m not sure why anyone should believe it’s true.
