Which culture offers its citizens a better quality of life— Brazil or Scandanavia?

Different ethnic admixtures mean that certain cultural patterns predominate. If you like living in an egalitarian high trust society then it's advantageous to have a relatively homogeneous European (or East Asian) country.

In the absence of any cultural commonalities the only way to get a group of disparate people to cooperate is by force. Diversity by definition leads to authoritarianism; we are seeing the beginning of this with the loss of free speech rights, and weapons confistication.

Also diversity means that because citizens no longer feel they have nothing in common there is a reluctance to spend money on social programs — it is difficult to maintain high levels of social welfare and high levels of immigration.

Lastly you may not feel particularly ethnocentric but as history shows the immigrants themselves may have different views especially if they are hostile (or indifferent) to Western values.

Here's a comment which sums up the problems inherent in multiculturalism.

The Occidental Observer:

Brazilianization (= Lost Angelization) means:

• A racially extremely diverse population;

• A high level of ambient racial tension;

• Extreme economic stratification, with a small, wealthy elite, a large underclass, and essentially zero middle class;

• Concentration of wealth in the hands of certain ethnic groups;

• Extremely high levels of street crime, including violent crime;

• A police force that is both brutal and impotent in dealing with crime;

• A weak public sector, with all amenities functioning inefficiently if at all (packed buses, filthy streets, etc.);

• Chronic, severe corruption at all levels of government, to the point of dysfunction;

• A pervasive mistrust of the government, indeed, all activities in the public sphere;

…and…

• No reason to think that any of the above can be changed by any available political means.

All of this will of course be accompanied by a lot of left-wing treacle about democracy, equality, progress, etc.

I hate to say it, but I think Brazilianization will be our future.
