Your evidence:

I present a blog post

Your student tier cherry picked "refutation" has been conclusively debunked by actual scientists, but you won't go beyond your confirmation bubble to figure this out.

The majority of studies conclude that invasive immigration is the primary cause of lack of social cohesion. Most people in the sociological field reject the premise of your blog post author. I'm sorry this conflicts with your narrow minded view of the world, but you must come to terms with this.

...A link to summaries of all major works to replicate and analyze causal analysis of Putnam's initial hypothesis. From someone who agreed, originally, with you. By, yes, actual scientists. You can read the studies themselves. Do you actually want to discuss any of them? Or do I give up and block you?

Did you ever stop and wonder why the blog post you presented is never cited as proof by professionals? Because it's fundamentally flawed and intellectually dishonest. Not all studies by Putnam were precisely replicated. So this unscrupulous author only cherry picks studies that further his point that were not replicated.

Over 70% of Putnams findings were replicated. According to authors from the very same website you previously linked.

Homogeneity is the common denominator for social cohesion.
