Well it's not like a myriad of village then regional cultures haven't been already crushed in the creation of the modern nation-states. But that dosen't mean the end of diversity either, new cultures built on that modern era emerge in turn to take their place. The counter-argument I'd give is that trying to artifically preserve everything, to maintain divisions is essentially tying ourselves to the weight of the past. The monoculture of today may find it's roots in English, but it's not like one can share and integrate the best parts of their culture into that monoculture. And that monoculture in turn has birthed a myriad of subcultures and hobbyists that are just as culturally rich as the preceding era. And perhaps unlike those old cultures, they stand by their merits, anybody can be part of it. With regionalism, with nationalism that's not the case. Something that's built for a specific "tribe" is going to have much less for me.
