 This whole thing is fucking insane.
Multiculturalism was always going to end in blood.

You can’t just force different cultures to coexist. It’s never worked, in the entire HISTORY of humanity.

Read this.
And start to wake up from the liberal retard hypnosis.

 The second seal of the Fiat apocalypse in full swing. 
 New York was/is multicultural.  I think the problem here is that these people didn't come to England hoping to work hard and achieve the "American Dream" they heard you could get free shit and not have to do anything.  Then they show up and the free shit isn't satisfying enough so they resent the locals for having more than they do.  

I'm for the free movement of peoples, but only if there are no handouts when they arrive....  Or at least I don't have to pay for them at the end of a gun😂 
 This is not a miscalculation from the governing class. It is working as intended. Their fucked up dialectic worldview with thesis forcing an antithesis that gets resolved via synthesis. 
It is a great success for them and they will provide the ”synthesis”. Fuck them all, these bastard marxists who ruin everything beautiful and well functioning and human. 
 The lines where one culture begins and another end are pretty blurry 

Like are Jews and Christians different cultures that don't mix?

How about American conservatives and woke pink hair communists, both of English descent?

Hip hop artists and skateboarders? 

To me I think it comes down to just respecting a common law, whether that is religion or state, some kind of common thread - which I would have hoped would be individual liberty but not many believe this these days 
 Your heritage, religion, culture, peers and genetics determine what laws and norms you do follow and abide by, and which you do not.

Individual liberty is not common in >95% of the world, and importing people on mass without such a cultural basis is CLEARLY a recipe for disaster.

I just posted a video (my latest note)
Please take a couple minutes out to watch it - and notice how futile such policies are. Then look at how potentially dangerous their outcomes are - followed by thinking about whether or not this is a worthwhile exercise 
 Different cultures can definitely coexist, but yeah, never if you force them to. 
If you have to use force to accomplish something, it’s nature’s  way of telling you to back the fuck off 
 That's the whole point. Chaos. And best believe they got 'solutions' sitting and waiting 
 Singapore will claim that their multi cultural society works perfectly.

 Does that also apply to Zionism? 
 Finally a voice of reason 

I agree with you!
 
 Aren't you an Australian immigrant yourself? I'd have a guess that a last name ending in "ski" would originate from Macedonia 
 Born there to two skilled European migrants who came in the 60/70s and actually worked to build a life.

Before there was a welfare state and before migration was used a weapon to destabilise a country and displace its people. 
 I've found multiculturalism to be a net positive.  
 Multiculturalism destroys countries, whether for political reasons, religious reasons or not. I'm saddened that we have toxic cultures ruling over uneducated people. 
 SAD AF read. Unbelievable but at the same time this is clown world 
 While there is some substance and some interesting lines the linked article is mostly redundant word salad and mental diarrhea.

 The problem is assuming this has to do with Multiculturalism. 
 "Culture" is just shorthand for talking about the common sets of behaviours between groups of people.  You can make it as small or as large as you like.
Humanity at the broadest scale has a "culture" that can broadly be defined by examples like "pleasure is preferable to suffering", "we take care of our children", and so on.  But you can also go the other way and take it down to the individual level.  No two individuals have completely identical beliefs (or even consistent with themselves sometimes!).  So ALL interactions between people could involve some level of "multiculturalism", purely depending on where you choose to draw the lines.
Even at the less extreme ends of the scale, is it "multiculturalism" when a West Berliner and an East Berliner come together?  How about a Berliner and a Münchner?  What about a Münchner and a Parisian?  Or a Parisian and a New Yorker?  Or a New Yorker and a Hong Konger?  Or a Hong Konger and a Mbabaner? etc etc.
The entire concept of it being problematic for cultures to mix is fundamentally an anti-human position, and is generally just an excuse for racism or other kinds of xenophobia. 
 You make a great point about culture existing at different levels.

For example, in my household, we have a culture of not wearing shoes indoors. However, this isn't because we're "shoephobic"; rather, we've found that it keeps our home cleaner. Guests can wear shoes in their own homes, but when they visit us, we kindly ask them to follow our house rule. My wife would understandably be annoyed if I disregarded this rule and allowed guests to traipse through the house in shoes. Our household culture has developed logically over time based on practical experience. On the other hand, if we had a rule like "no pink socks" without any logical reason, it would seem arbitrary and unwelcoming.

On a larger scale, whilst we have nation staters (for good or bad), and because this is the level where immigration is controlled, it seems of relevance to try and define a culture at that level. Nation-states have their own cultures, often shaped by centuries of experience - slowly adapting over time. In the UK, for example, our culture includes following English law, which has (generally) served us well over time. For example, a significant part of this culture is that citizens do not openly carry firearms, and many would be angry to find out if border control had allowed large numbers of gun-totting Texans in with firearms. We have no issues with Texans open carrying if that's what they choose to do in Texas. However, it wouldn't be fair to exclude Texans based on say, wearing cowboy hats.

(You know I always value your opinion Ben, all love here xxx) 
 But, I think the REAL issue, and where the anger should be targeted, is at the head of the household, who is either (a) inept at checking people remove their shoes, (b) on commission for everyone they let in, or (c) intentionally inviting them in to cause conflict and manipulate the household. 
 Actually, this isn’t true - it has been done, and it has worked. In 1814, a law was introduced in Paraguay which forced inter-racial marriage - it was illegal to marry someone of the same race. This forced those of European descent, and those of indigenous decent to “come together” (pardon the  risqué pun) and ensured that the vast majority of future generations would be mixed-race, known as “Mestizo”. Today, more than 90% of Paraguayans have both European and indigenous ancestry; both indigenous Guaraní language and Spanish are spoken widely, both indigenous and European culture is lived and celebrated, and the innate acceptance of other races and cultures has led to a very large percentage of Paraguayans having a non-Paraguayan ancestor or relative, as well as a culture that actively welcomes peace-loving foreigners who come to the country. Maybe it’s time for you to experience Paraguay for yourself - but please leave your pre-conceived biases at home when you travel somewhere new ❤️ #paraguay #asuncion #multiculturalism
