The arguments of Art_Allam were already corrected above his post, and they can't climb out of the hole.
This is the fascinating thing. They DOUBLE DOWN. Go on and tell us some more about all the "multicultural" aspects of autocratic, colonial slave states in world history. Tell us, for example, of the tolerance the Romans displayed towards Christianity and other nonconforming "cultures." Tell us about the Roman "outreach and cooperation programs" to their "cultural neighbors" in Gaul, Britannia and Germania. Fact: That one's conqueror allows one to maintain some modicum of preexisting custom towards efficient, total control and taxation is -not- even remotely close to "multicultural."
Too bad, dudes, that you don't like that the ancient world was diverse and multicultural. All the snowflaking in the world and waving little hands won't change that fact.
The evidence proving that ancient diversity turns up in surprising places. http://www.abroadintheyard.com/surprising-ancestral-origins-revealed-by-dna-testing/
You seem to be confused by the term "African", in your imagination all Africans were black Sub-Saharan-Africans. In reality the North Africans were similar to the South Europeans. What to Black Africans (Bantu Tribes), they were a tiny minority in Africa in the times of Romans. So if there were Africans in the Roman Army, then they looked like this North African:
It's the "we wuz kangz" thing, a black grievance industry revisionist narrative that blacks ruled worldwide over a peaceful, idyllic reality until the evil white man ruined everything. It's ridiculous, so they won't fess up to it directly, but that's really what all the "imperial slave state multiculturalism" is about. I freely acknowledge that the above is NOT how a vast majority of blacks I know and have known personally over many years talk, think or act, and that the clip has definite racist overtones, so if anyone interested can find a more academic expression of the narrative, please post it.
art_allam, once again corrected when statement is easily punched out, is once again ad homming in response. Multiculturalism and diverse all of sudden now must mean an "equality" of nations and cultures etc etc etc. Poppy ****.
Your personal "definition" of what multiculturalism means does not override what it actually means. Multiculturalism simply means that several cultures coexist in the same place. That you are obsessed with "supremacy" and "inferior" says volumes!
Obviously your knowledge of DNA is severely lacking! That your obsession with appearance did not exist amongst ancient cultures. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_people_in_Ancient_Roman_history
So are Islamic terrorists. But every time one of them does something there's a whole Litany of dipshits tripping over themselves to say the loudest so that they can seem the most virtuous "not all Muslims." But yet it's all whites. I didn't think the left would become so blatantly racist after championing or more like riding on the coattails of the Civil Rights era.
True and the average citizen never heard of the Alt-Right before Hillary falsely claimed that it represented the Right inside the United States of America. I do find it fascinating, however, that the same Left-Allied Mainstream Media who pushed the Alt-Right boogeyman meme for all it was worth are essentially ignoring the fact that ANTIFA is utterly real and is effectively representing the true heart and soul of the . . . radical . . . violent . . . Left. But then again life is full of these little ironies.
Sadly, this began as soon as corporatist/elitist Hamilton imposed his will on the People. Liberalism now is synonymous with closet conservatism, globalism, endless war, corporatism, fascism, speech supression and numerous other elements extremely dangerous to the People, albeit wrapped up in the thin, transparent tissue of identity politics and sham social justice. The Alt-right was always a toxic joke on the fringe, although liberal and leftist attempts to silence them revealed more darkness in opposition than in the Alt-right clowns themselves.
Classical liberals are a somewhat different breed, but we're talking about modern liberals. These folks do the bidding of the Kochs and their ilk, including working with the Republicans to suppress wages, outsource employment, deny single payer and otherwise maintain the 1% world as their masters see fit.
Some good points, but keep in mind that the MSM is aligned with modern (and therefore hyper-conservative) elite liberals, and not the left. The left has its own problems, most notably Antifa (aka the AltLefTaliban) which the liberals hoped might inadvertently act in liberal interests, but the MSM is purely controlled by deeply conservative elite liberal globalists; don't be fooled by the paper-thin veneer of social justice they peddle.
Yes but it's way too easy to get bogged down in minute definitions as for divisions Left of Center. For me it's easiest to consider liberals to -- generally speaking -- be the classic useful idiots with which their sleazy ideological compatriot leftists use and manipulate to accomplish far darker ends. It works for me.
Maybe keep in mind that liberals are more like dogs, and leftists are more like cats; they can team up to achieve an aim, but the cats will always be cats, and the dogs always dogs.
