Apply basic evolutionary science to societies and you can see why multiculturalism is guaranteed to fail . Groups of humans need a binding single myth. It’s where religions, belonging and nationality have always come from. Groups and individuals cannot not be competitive. This Balkanisation is like all the greatest evils and horrific acts in history has been driven by idealistic ideologies. It’s insanity we’re repeating the worst errors from the past all together. Balkanisation, communism style idealism mixed with disenfranchisement of whole sections of society. Even family and sense of value/role is being destroyed. Our elites only care about getting control over every aspect of our lives. It makes me not as optimistic. It’s too late. Hell is on its way for the old British first, the new after. There aren’t fixes without some losing a lot and the sort of tough choices successful leaders have always made. Ours idealism and true goals mean they’ll never allow our salvation. Idealism always allows intellectual gymnastics that allow the justification of any evil.
There are lots of actual and potential positives in a multi cultural society. The crucial things being that national values such a democracy, female rights, fair and effective criminal justice system, etc. are maintained determindely. The trouble being they aren't.
Direct hit with the statement that this is a time-specific moral-political knot (10 mins in). A well intentioned and largely good analysis, but still too much focus on the idea of ''the individual''. Perhaps language lies in our way here. A lot of the phrasing suggests ''a person'' could have ''their own religious cultural and ethnic identity''. This is unfortunate. Culture is FAR upstream of individuation or subjectivity. To allow 'the individual' any great sense of agency in this process is to take sides against culture, and is a large part of the problem of ''postmodern/ cosmo-political'' fragmentation. ''Every single immigrant'' is not the problem ( or a solution), any more than ''every single ethno-nationalist'' is the problem (or the solution). We require new ways of thinking and talking about aggregates which evade both 'individualism' and homogenisation - statistical or cultural. Many thanks for a VERY thought- provoking fifteen minutes.
@@ViscountWoodspring 17% of British youth (18-24) voted right-wing (Reform and Conservatives) in 2024. This is a decrease from 22% of 18-24 voting right-wing in 2019. This is a decrease from 35% of 18-24 voting right-wing (Conservatives and UKIP) in 2015. Greens and Lib Dems got 34% of British youth vote in 2024. Highest proportion of the youth vote ever.
@ have you considered that a large proportion of the right wing youth are checking out of electoral politics? That is not conditions for defeat. The assumption behind your extrapolation is that electoral politics matters and gives a firm indication of political change
Britain was a class based society... not sure reversible to that is possible or good. meritocracy as a value underpinned with strong spiritual faith... might be good to discuss and how this can be achieved in society. maybe we need to go through tthis to realize the importance and its value to a happy, prosperous and cohesive society..
Why leave a country and take its culture with you?. If you like it so much, stay there.

It's the only way. Might as well accept it
Our future is in the hands of us and no one else. Nothing is set in stone.

@ If they're not doing it now after 1 million people moved to the UK last year, they clearly don't exist

Well said.
Its mad that this has to still be explained on 2024 😂
I think it needed to be explained daily since 1996. Had we hoped to avoid the situation we are currently now in.
How do these youngsters get so terminally boring?
