Imperium, why are people that feel differently to you 'browbeaten'? Did you stop to think that some people just aren't as shallow as yourself?
Because for many whites, the reason why they assent to various things
is because of inculcation and browbeating. Whatever they profess to espouse is incongruous with their actual activities, whatever they say freely in private kept suppressed, out of genuine fear for the very serious consequences, in public. This is the reality of an all-encompassing societal ethos with utopian designs like multiculturalism-- it depends upon the complete and unwavering participation of those who operate under it; and even if it does not have any success, like Marxism, it seeks to make its population pretend that everything is okay or mentally incapable of perceiving what is plain to see.
Yes, while its most strongest advocates do genuinely believe, many of these people (I am not suggesting you, don't worry) are still caught in sort of a mental trap, like the followers of a religion. By mental trap I am not saying that this means "if you believe in multiculturalism you're trapped and need to be enlightened with my way of thinking"-- this would suggest a mental trap of my own, I am saying that these beliefs occupy a particularly hallowed, unassailable and unscrutinizable position within the mind in a way that no other does. They cannot be questioned and the sociological explanations which they generate do not have viable alternatives; because these alternatives have been characterised and forever sealed to be truly wicked --
racist, the 'heretic' or 'counter-revolutionary' of our time. Due to this, those who do genuinely believe possess the special privilege of having contained within their words and principles a
morality the opposing camp lacks. And as a result from this, free discussion is ultimately banished under a pervasive, unspeakable taboo, or, in some countries now (with more to come), illegalized outright.
A little off the discussion, but I think it isn't just this conception that an intrinsic morality is present within the words of the multiculturalist that encases his mind within its mental cage, but there are other psychological factors at play as well. The image of the unenlightened and abhorrent racialist is endlessly juxtaposed in the head of the multculturalist with his own idea of himself. He is educated, intelligent, worldly, experienced and wise
**, unlike his opposite, an uneducated, unintelligent, parochical and pitiful specimen in desperate need of his own special brand of improvement. So yes indeed, it is safe to say that it is in many cases snobiness and longing for intellectual status that motivates the multiculturalist.

I don't know about that; we've talked about all of this stuff a dozen times before. When you really break this forum down you would get three primary obsessions the memberbase tends to chatter about-- Global Warming, Islam and race. We really need some fresh material.

That explains a lot.
