THE WEAPONIZATION OF HATE, The Culture Wars

 The Culture Wars

 "We have forsaken our God for baubles and chosen the path of hate. Now the eve of destruction is upon us, and we have no hope for tomorrow, for we have cast aside our God and are staring into the abyss."

Behind the glorious façade of multiculturalism lurks an intense hatred fueled by the vocal minority who feel the dream of mutual advancement has left them behind. The vision once held by the majority has evolved into a nightmare.  Manipulated by a woke media, ethnic disparities, and social justice warriors, the cauldron of hate is boiling and overflowing.  This overflowing has created a more profound and perverse hatred, a type of hatred that many countries have never faced. This weaponized hatred processes the innate ability to flow from generation to generation and even alters our offspring's value of life.

Multiculturalism is a powerful word with a range of meanings; two words combined to form a new word distinct in a sense whose definition continues to evolve.   Unfortunately, the growth of the American version of the English language has led to the formation of many compound terms while enhancing or even overlooking the true meaning of individual words. The creation, redefining, and overuse of the word phobic is a prime example.   Treated as a suffix, it can transform a word into a weapon of hate. 

Multiculturalism is a synonym for "ethnic pluralism." The two terms are often interchangeable, but multiculturalism has a better ring. In theory, ethnic groups collaborate and dialogue for ethnic pluralism without sacrificing their particular identities. It can describe a diverse ethnic community area where multiple cultural traditions exist or even a single country within which they do. Groups associated with an indigenous native or indigenous ethnic group and settler-descended ethnic groups are often the focus. A more appropriate meaning would also include cultural displacement, which always lurks in the background because two different values occupying the same space are impossible.  One gives while the other takes. 

When the settlers arrived in what is known as America, interaction with the indigenous ethnic cultures initially proved fruitful. Historians agree that without the support of the indigenous tribes, the Pilgrims' survival would have been in doubt. However, the erosion of trust exposed a hidden hatred, and war became inevitable because of cultural displacement, cultural differences, and a lack of understanding.   The problem always stems from who or what is in control. 

In the United States, like in many countries, multiculturalism was never considered an established federal policy.   The founding fathers knew the elephant was in the room, but they pretended it didn't exist. Yet, at the same time, they began to create laws that recognized and regulated the elephant's presence. But unfortunately, these laws caused it to grow and take control of the room. 

Ethnic diversity is common in all areas, primarily rural, suburban, and urban areas, and it is also one of the most manipulative entities that affect the human condition. 

The Elephant, In many countries, is not allowed in the room.  For example, during censuses in France,  unlike in America, they steadfastly refuse to measure counts based on race, ethnicity, or religion because they see themselves as a color-blind society.  France is an undeniable, multicultural, multi-ethnic, multiracial society and has been at least since the nineteen-fifties when large waves of immigrants began arriving from its former colonies. France's approach to ethnic diversity is the melting pot theory.  The melting pot's idea became a metaphor that implies that all the immigrant cultures are mixed and amalgamated without state intervention. The melting pot theory suggested that each immigrant and group assimilated into society at their own pace without government intervention.  France has significant discrimination and racial and economic segmentation problems like many other countries but realizes the government has limited tools to measure or correct them. These are problems that individual groups must fix without government acknowledgment or intervention.

Multiculturalism in the United States has a long and dubious history. The United States has, from its founding days, taken in immigrants from different cultural backgrounds, many of whom were, at the time, controversial. First, it was the Germans. Whether they could become "real Americans" was the question. Next was the Chinese, Irish, and Eastern European immigrants after them. Now it is Hispanic Americans and Muslim Americans.

Continuous mass immigration has been a factor in the United States economy and society since the first half of the 19th century. As a result, the absorption of the stream of immigrants became a prominent feature of America's national myth. Excluded from these algorisms were indigenous natives, labeled the untameable savages, and the Africans viewed as the beasts of burden. 

The melting pot theory is different from the salad bowl theory.  The salad bowl theory does not include complete assimilation and integration. Instead, each culture struggles to maintain its distinctive flavor. It is a fragile concept attempting to coexist with a strong belief in national unity.  It is a flawed belief dating from the American founding fathers:

"Providence has been pleased to give this one connected country to one united people – a people descended from the same ancestors, speaking the same language, professing the same religion, attached to the same principles of government, very similar in their manners and customs... This country and these people seem made for each other. It appears as if Providence's design that an inheritance so proper and convenient for a band of brethren, united by the strongest ties, should never be split into many unsocial, jealous, and alien sovereignties." 

These noble words, in a sense, were a declaration of war, for they did not consider the plight of the Africans or the indigenous natives as they were considered a part of the God-given inheritance. Instead, Americans would engage in a brutal civil war to retain the African Americans' chattel state.  

There are thousands of cultures worldwide and numerous in the United States, with the most dominant being Western. However, African, Asian, Native American, Polynesian, and Latin American cultures also influence the United States' cultural makeup. The United States is unique because it has a rich mixture of cultures, which may not be in its best interest.  Early biblical teachings supported the separation of different cultures, mainly if their belief structure differed from the predominant culture. Today, many nations still adhere to this policy—those who do not follow this policy suffer from internal disputes resulting from cultural integration.
