- _heimdall 2y agoThis ignores historic examples of societies with multiple cultures, religions, etc living peacefully. It doesn't always end well, but are you proposing the solution is to ensure that societies never try?
- arresin 2y ago> This ignores historic examples of societies with multiple cultures, religions, etc living peacefully. Can you give me some examples? My own knowledge of history goes like this: proximity (between cultures / ethnicities) = war.

- _heimdall 2y agoPlenty of countries and societies have a mix of different cultures and religions without it triggering a war anything like what Sudan is going through today. I have lived in the US and the Netherlands. I can say both have a mix of both cultures and religions without widespread famine and bloody civil wars.
- valval 2y agoI imagine Sudan was the same before the famine and bloody civil wars started.
- thomassmith65 2y agoPretty much every nation on earth contains multiple ethnicities. That's the reality but generally foreigners are ignorant of these sorts of details for faraway places - eg: Sami in Sweden, Druze in Israel, Catalonians in Spain, and on and on. So, as far as I am aware, any nation that is currently at peace can serve as an example. Maybe it's the other way around: the more any two groups get along, the less we consider them meaningfully distinct.
- valval 2y agoWar or genocide is just an end, not some perpetual state of affairs. The negative effects of diversity can be seen everywhere, and in places where it’s not seen there is no real diversity— as in the seemingly distinguishing traits of the parties are significantly overridden by commonalities.
