re: #595 Killgore Trout

I’m just making a quick scroll of the comments but I’ll jump in and defend Dark Falcon. There are plenty of reasons to take issue with “multiculturalism”, depending on how you define it. There are extreme leftists who believe all cultures and societies are equally awesome and groovy no matter how brutal, archaic and backwards they may be. It’s simply not true. These are usually the same folks that want to erase all national borders created by European colonialism and then it’ll be all peace and unicorns. Code Pink and ANSWER come to mind off the top of my head. Lyndon Larouche too.

But that sort of multiculturalism hasn’t been tried so it would be hard to call it a failure. To me multiculturalism is about trying to to allow multiple cultures coexist peacefully in a pluralistic society. And there are plenty of good examples of that.
