Egalitarians like to believe that all people are interchangeable. Considering the state of the world and its diversity, this seems to me an obvious fallacy.
Multiculturalism—the strong-arm of egalitarianism—never seems to result in anything good. Some argue it enriches a culture to be saturated in outsiders, ala the American “melting pot.” This makes diversity more readily available, they say. But what isn’t recognized is that it’s an attenuation of all cultures involved, as they must conform to a tolerable status quo to avoid conflicts in tradition. The resultant effect of this degradation is the cultureless consumer societies we see in modern techno-industrialized nations.
Biologically, we’ve developed in different environments, under different conditions, with different stresses. Concordantly, different groups have different ways of living that are right for them. Globalism completely eschews this reality and forces one form of governance, that of liberal democratic industrial consumerism, on all people. Resistant groups had better hope the land they inhabit doesn’t have any valuable resources.
To go even further: egalitarianism is cruel. It takes diverse groups of people, mixes them up, and then blames them for their natural cleavages. What? People have lived in Australia (Aborigines) since around 74,000 BCE and were doing just fine until civilization, a completely foreign and unnecessary organizational system, was brought to them. Suddenly there are problems with them and the colonizing Anglos. No! Really?
The integrality of social cohesion differs from the Rhineland to the south of Brazil, for obvious as well as subtle reasons. Civilization is required in some (few) places; in other (most) places it is not. Egalitarianism seeks to abolish the unique qualities that make a people who they are; it would do away with the most fundamental component of identity, ethno-culture (race), and leave us isolated, hollow and stuffed.
Egalitarianism is taken for granted because the converse is taboo in modern society. This taboo is on track to be the most dangerous of social practices, and practices zealously pursued pass into habits—abeunt studia in mores. This habitual way of life, the arbitrary adherence to deadly taboo, the obliteration of hundreds of thousands of years of human differentiation and development, the systematic consumption of the natural world for profit, the gaping mouth of Fenrir which blackens the sky and souls of men—this is the fish-eyed stare. Refuse, resist and revolt.
