Multiculturalism Enables Totalitarianism | 1/9/25

Conservatives and libertarians regularly name reducing the size of the state as their top priority but rarely consider the factors that drive the growth of government. For most champions of small government, institutional neutrality and the minimal exercise of state power are seen as metrics of success, but they rarely realize that those factors can actually make expansion of the state inevitable. While it is counterintuitive to modern proponents of small government, vigorous state action in favor of defending a unified culture is far more likely to protect liberty than policies like open borders and neutral institutions.

Classic playbook move 1: import problem 2: problem causes rise in more problems 3: grow size and authority of state to deal with problems (they created) 4: blame the problem on people in general, when it’s not the general public but a specific segment causing said problems

[@williamleadbetter9686]

Not just problems but especially problems that either have no solution or one's that are extremely hard to solve easily. And of course create & inflame boogie men and phantoms.

I am very sure it is deeper than that but it might still be a part of the plan whether intended or unintended. I will still say though the more comfortable life one has even under traumatic upbringing can still make you softer and weaker. I think people has become too complacent and maybe even too scared of their own government. Especially now considering all the surveillance methods from your phone to your internet fingerprints. I would say it's only inevitable that things will get more difficult. But I am past the point of romanticizing for a better future and just accept whatever comes. I don't think reality and life is the ultimate end-goal.

Some of the reasons for a growing state : - women (gibs and muh rights) - ethnic minorities - other minorities (LGBT, etc.) - underperformers, disabled people, etc. Basically what Hoppe already predicted in 2001.

[@SquareNoggin]

I mean on a superficial level, sure, bur arguably all those groups are made worse off by the sort of culture our bureaucratic lib state creates. Part of what was good about more traditional nationalist cohesive society made up of communities and families is that people would have seen themselves as having distinct necessary roles as part of a greater whole - rather than all just competing with each other for power and wealth. The ancap libertarian model will always end in progressive tyranny in the end. People are not all born equally capable of adding economic value to the market and if we don't have some metric for what counts as merit and virtue and deserving of respect and status other than "who hustles the hardest" then there will be opportunity for the demagogues to leverage the discontent of the commons to bring about whatever their revolutionary vision is. Added economic value isn't the be all end all of a cohesive human society, and to treat it as though it is isn't going to lead us to flourishing. One way or another the highly productive are going to have to "subsidize" the less productive, and so we ought to have culture and tradition that makes that worthwhile and meaningful. Obviously familial and national bonds and a sense of what is respectable and worthwhile contribution to the common good other than just being highly productive (also probably focused around family, community and religion) is needed.

[@torinmccabe]

The culture of the Karen is totalitarian rule enforcement. Before we punished Karens as common scolds > In the common law of crime in England and Wales, a common scold was a type of public nuisance-a troublesome and angry person who broke the public peace by habitually chastising, arguing, and quarrelling with their neighbours. Most punished for scolding were women, though men could be found to be scolds.

[@MimiRAM0NE]

Karen is just an anti-white slur. Most "Karens" are just people the mob wants to target, like the "Karen" that was just a pregnant NYC nurse trying to take an ebike home. She didn't need a scold's bridle. She needed to live in a less culturally enriched city.

That’s what Francis Schaeffer tried to teach 50 years ago but hardly anyone believed him. We thought we could save the nation by voting for a cowboy actor who could sling some conservative-sounding rhetoric. It never ceases to confound me that no one - no one at all - quotes from A Christian Manifesto in the context of today’s debates on this subject.

[@MidlifeCrisisJoe]

This is one of those things Aristotle brought up that just refuses to never not be relevant or true because tyrants are always seeking that throne.

[@Ivan-pr7ku]

Only high trust and culturally cohesive societies can afford the benefit of "small government", i.e. off-hands state institutions. That doesn't necessarily means low taxation, if public services and social nets are worth the high tax rates and immigration policies are sufficiently strict.

[@RoyalProtectorate]

yes constitution was a compact, and no citizens were never a part of that agreement.

The Guarantee Clause needs to be used to bring America back to a shared moral & cultural vision & exclude those who do not share that vision. Trusting government power too much only leads to unspeakable horrors beyond comprehension.

I dont think christianity is the solution because evangelical blacks vote democrat.

[@rockrocks66]

I think it's a matter of perception. America feels strongly Christian compared to Europe, but if you compare modern America to America of the 18th or 19th centuries, it is closer to atheism. Back then, church attendance was almost universal, people looked to local churches instead of the state for moral guidance and social welfare, marriage was respected as a sacred covenant instead of an optional legal status, and immigration from non-protestant countries was de facto barred most of the time. American Christianity now is mostly a social club for old people.

[@leststoner]

Im loving this whiteman despair content. Keep it up.

[@ericschafer287]

Even if people have pretty much the same moral vision, they can still be on different teams. European wars through the Middle Ages were not ideological but for economic and political. People are either homogenous or they are in conflict. But even homogeneity is necessary and not sufficient. You still need high IQ, good socialization, and liberty.

I agree

[@victoryovergravity]

I disagree that it should be founded in Christianity, but I do agree America needs a unified vision. America is by and for the people. The unified vision must be that the People stand against the pieces of garbage in silicon valley, dc, and wall street who turn everything to shit. Our vision must be focused on health---clean air, water, soil. Healthy food. Promotion of exercise and fitness. Beautiful art and architecture. And I wish this could be a spontaneous collective effort, but as you speak about, you simply must have at least a strong enough government to defend this vision and not allow it to be compromised whatsoever.

[@Nacjotyp]

This is simply common sense.

[@traddad9172]

[@PhilosophicalZombieHunter]

I'm not disagreeing, but you can apply the same concept to other ways of breaking down people into groups. The government can grow in size when you break down society into conflicting classes. It can grow in size when you break society by gender - in fact, the US government grew by 30% after the women's suffragette movement. So where does it end?

Immigration policy should favor those who hold the shared values of the American people regardless of how skilled or talented any immigrant may be. While I disagree with Vivek Ramaswamy's remakrs about American culture, I do think his heart is in the right place & deeply cares about America more than any other nation. Many Indian immigrants & even some Indian-Americans however from what I've heard don't share the founding values of the American people instead only viewing America is an economic zone for them to profit & get wealthy from.

[@awesomeant9509]

And what are the values you think should be tested?

[@Harvest133]

Ramaswamy hates you, and wants to replace you with his true countrymen, because he thinks you're inferior and stupid. Honestly, if you can listen to what he has said and done (he earned his wealth by scamming people), and not understand this... maybe he was correct. America wasn't founded for Indians, or Chinese, or Mexicans, or anyone else but Western Europeans. We went from 90% western European in 1960 to nearly 50% in 2025. If this was done to any other group, it would rightfully be called ethnic cleansing.
