British and Proud
08-01-2009, 08:24 AM
Arguments promoting the purported benefits of accepting immigrants into Europe have taken many forms. One of the most ludicrous is that “Immigration creates a richer culture”. Anyone who lived in Bangladesh, Somalia, or the Central African Republic, would recognize that these lands have cultures in as much as there is a pattern of living conducive to relative social stability, but not “rich” cultures.
By far the richest culture in existence is that which the Europeans have evolved. Each of the European nations recognises the distinctiveness and attractiveness of the cultures of their neighbors (and for centuries travel keepsakes have been brought back home to prove it). The British will travel to Poland, Italy or Scandinavia searching for distinct cultures, and others will reciprocate, visiting Britain for the same reason.
The extreme irony and incredible stupidity of attempting to “make the country more colourful by importing immigrant cultures” is that any inflows and ingresses of competing cultures into Europe can only dilute the supreme cultural richness and diversity which already exists.
Imported culture might have passing interest because it is superficially unusual with a curiosity appeal. However these “introductions” rapidly becomes mundane, and then universalize, to displace the variety which existed before. Think Tandori chicken.
The biological analogy is the introduction of an exotic species which begins to dominate and destroy the variety of species which existed before, ultimately destroying the entire ecosystem.
Therefore this cynical disinformation, engineered by governments to dupe their populations into believing that immigrants are desirable “to make your culture more colourful” will, instead, suffocate the cultures of every nation in Europe, replacing them with the homogenous, non-culture which is now insinuating itself into every corner of the continent, and obliterating the unique identities of each land.
Universal mediocrity and mundane sameness will become the hell of future societies, much like the Hell of the Sunday Fisherman who is compelled to fish without ceasing into eternity.
Don’t expect to bring back interesting keepsakes or mementos from your travels in Europe in the future.
