The price of strawberries is 3 percent lower and all it took was having a society where trust is replaced by suspicion and normlessness is accelerating
This is a fun way to say "We have lots of bigots who hate immigrants for no good reason, and I'd rather pander to them than improve every non-bigot's life"
* Immigrants come, demonstrably improve economy * Trust is lowered because bigots lash out, creating divisive politics "Let's blame the immigrants for this situation and not the bigots" is a galaxy brain take
I'm not talking about political divisiveness. I'm talking about a society where there's implicit trust and shared conventions besides butt-chugging Netflix
The shared conventions we had are currently being shredded the fastest by those who are most anti-immigrant, so I'm really not sure of your point. The US in particular does an amazing job of assimilating and Americanizing immigrants.
The shared conventions of anglo-protestant settler culture are being shredded by people who are skeptical of a historically new open-borders fundamentalism? Or you men conventions that only go back to the 70s?
"The shared conventions of anglo-protestant settler culture" is a meaningless concept. There were many different distinct protestant settler cultures with WILDLY different conventions. There is no single 'protestant settler culture'.
The idea that what makes America strong is some 1600's strain of Super English Protestant Thought is frankly laughable. As though waves of Slavic/Irish/Italian/Catholic/German, etc immigration hadn't completely changed the country 100x over before the 1950s even began.
German immigrants assimilated almost perfectly. Irish a little less so. Poles a little less than that. Italians a little less than that. My mother immigrated from Italy and I recognize that places with a lot of Italians are different. And some types of different are *bad*
Italian immigrants are *better* than Sudanese immigrants because Western Europeans are closer to Americans than people from radically different civilizations. These groups you're describing aren't interchangeable
