(2015) Rutherford et al. analyse the geography of ethnic violence.

They state: "We model cultural differentiation as a separation of groups whose members prefer similar neighbors with a characteristic group size at which violence occurs. Application of this model to the area of the former Yugoslavia and to India accurately predicts the locations of reported conflict."

Ethnic, linguistic, religious, and other cultural differences can only be solved by separation. Mixing them into an area created conflict.

Oftentimes deniers of the deleterious effects of diversity will point to the long-standing and very likely to continue-standing nation of Switzerland. Contrary to the idea that Switzerland is an exemplar for multiculturalism, the argument falls apart under scrutiny because; A) Switzerland is still largely racially continuous, and; B) Switzerland has rigid ethno-linguistic and cultural boundaries internally due, in large part, to conflicts arising from diversity (see: Neuchâtel Crisis).

The authors even analysed this and found that: "Switzerland is recognized as a country of peace, stability, and prosperity. This is surprising because of its linguistic and religious diversity that in other parts of the world lead to conflict and violence. Here we analyze how peaceful stability is maintained. Our analysis shows that peace does not depend on integrated coexistence, but rather on well-defined topographical and political boundaries separating linguistic and religious groups, respectively. In exactly one region, a porous mountain range does not adequately separate linguistic groups and violent conflict has led to the recent creation of the canton of Jura."

And finally the authors state that "Our analysis supports the hypothesis that violence between groups can be inhibited by both physical and political boundaries. A similar analysis of the area of the former Yugoslavia shows that during widespread ethnic violence existing political boundaries did not coincide with the boundaries of distinct groups, but peace prevailed in specific areas where they did coincide."

The old adage rings true: "Good fences make good neighbours."

(2007) Dudley & File display kin recognition in an annual plant.

They state: "Kin recognition is important in animal social systems. However, though plants often compete with kin, there has been as yet no direct evidence that plants recognize kin in competitive interactions. Here we show in the annual plant Cakile edentula, allocation to roots increased when groups of strangers shared a common pot, but not when groups of siblings shared a pot. Our results demonstrate that plants can discriminate kin in competitive interactions and indicate that the root interactions may provide the cue for kin recognition. Because greater root allocation is argued to increase below-ground competitive ability, the results are consistent with kin selection."

Thus, when foreign plants are in the same pot they are likely to compete with one another whereas related plants are less likely to compete and more likely to attempt what amounts to sharing the pot.

Plants are fucking sexist racist homophobes

My word. Even the organisms with the least animus and no ethology to speak of prefer their own? I guess vegans will say that it is okay they eat plants because they are all NAZIS!!!🍴 🍆

WWII ended more than 70 years ago. I think it is about time that we learn the real history behind the term "Nazi" and the real history of WWII.

Here in South-East Europe, men used to greet each other with a wave of a hand and a greeting "Здраво" which means wishing good health to someone. Shaking hands was introduced with industrial revolution, and was unkown to common men who always approached each other with a sense of distance

I'm sick and tired of people who say that lone wolf attackers are cowards or made cowardly attacks

2017-01-31 14:06:12 UTC  

Lone wolf attackers are very courageous people, because unlike vigilantes of old days, they have nothing to hope to, and have nowhere to run or hide or to seek refuge nowadays

2017-01-31 14:06:29 UTC  

once they commit attacks they become the loneliest people on planet, denounced even by their family

(2007) Newton discusses what he calls "The New Liberal Dilemma" of social trust in heterogeneous or otherwise mixed societies.

Newton states that this dilemma arises from the preponderance of evidence regarding heterogeneity indicating that ethnically, linguistically, religiously, or otherwise culturally mixed societies tend to be characterised by a wide range of social, economic, and political disadvantages and ails.

In the face of the overwhelming evidence against societal diversity, Liberals must choose whether they want a strong society that deviates from their egalitarian values or a fractured and dying one that - at the least - doesn't offend anyone too much.

Some of this evidence is presented below:

2017-01-31 16:07:13 UTC  

(Easterly & Levine, 1998; Knack & Keefer, 1997; Alesina et al., 2003) show that heterogeneous societies have poorer economic performance.

(Goldin & Katz, 1999; Alesina, Baqir & Easterly, 1999; Alesina & Glaeser, 2004; Benerjee, Iyer & Somanathan, 2005) show that heterogeneous societies spend less on public goods and (Mauro, 1995; La Porta et al., 1998) show that they deliver these goods less efficiently, less fairly, and to a lower standing.

(Easterly, 2000; Svennson, 1998; Alesina, Baqir & Easterly, 1999; Annett, 1999) show that heterogeneous societies are more corrupt and have larger black markets.

(Hero & Tolbert, 1996; Plotnick & Winters, 1985; Lind, 2003; Luttmer, 2001) show that heterogeneous societies have more uneven wealth distributions.

(Alesina, Baqir & Hoxby, 2004) show that heterogeneous societies are less likely to benefit from economies of scale.

(Mauro, 1995; Annett, 1999) show that diverse societies are less politically stable.

(Adelman & Morris, 1967) show that nation and state building is more difficult in diverse societies.

(Paxton, 2002: 266) shows that diverse societies tend to be less capable of democracy.

(Leigh, 2006a, 2006b; Eisenberg, 2006; Coffe & Geys, 2006; Glaeser et al., 2000; Helliwell, 1996; Knack & Keefer, 1997; Putnam, 2003; Alesina & La Ferarra, 1999; Zak & Knack, 2001; La Porta et al., 1997; Hero, 1998, 2003; Costa & Kahn, 2003) all show that mixed societies have reduced levels of social trust, civic cooperation, and social capital.

(Alesina & La Ferrarra, 1999; Costa & Kahn, 2003a, 2003b; Lassen, 2003) show that heterogeneous societies have lower rates of volunteering and participation in voluntary associations.

(Rice & Sumberg, 1997) show that heterogeneous societies have lower levels of civic culture and cultural development. Cultural homogeneity is also stayed by heterogeneity.

With all of this in mind, and no ostensible benefits to diversity, it cannot be said that a position of endorsement is tenable without resorting sheerly to ideology or an argument to faith in egalitarianism in lieu of data.
