In the modern world we find the successful societies are actually more diverse. Granted diversity follows success and not vice-versa, but at least a diverse society can withstand black swans more easily and is less subject to lemming-like behavior. For example, Sharia is an infinitely more viable long-term solution for global cultural development than the Frankfurt School that dominates European politics as present, regardless of what any cuck-ass Eurocunt has to say or think about it. They're both death cults, but at least in Sharia the concept of honor exists.

There are scales of society and I think that is a large determining factor as to at what scale and what amount diversity is compatible with "success." Your point about Sharia and the Frankfurt school is an interesting one. Between those two it seems like comparing two massive piles of shit, so I would have to defer on passing judgement. I'd rather pass on both.

I suppose you're right that it is a false dichotomy in theory and other forms of social organization could exist but within the context of Europe at the present moment that's how the ideological battle lines seem to be drawn. Let this be a lesson that even Europeans can descend into collective shitnoggery left to their own devices.
