Is diversity strength?
Another form of where 'diversity is strength' has run amok is in our immigration system. The impetus today seems to be to bring as many alien cultures into the U.S. as possible. The media promotes this as a way of building national strength. It is not. It is planting the seeds of fragmentation and balkanization. And this foolish approach to immigration is further aggravated by the reluctance of the new arrivals to fully adapt to American norms and customs.
The diversity mantra is pushed with such overwhelming force that
it's downright revolutionary to dispute it. But as George
Orwell said "In a time of deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary
act." So no, today's forced diversity is not strength, and as Orwell
also wrote: war is not peace, ignorance is not strength, and slavery is not
freedom.
