This guy is viewing the concept of Multiculturalism as a total black and white idea, when its not. My idea of Multiculturalism, and I think many people who encourage it would agree, is to find a balance that allows cultures to exist in harmony. He’s right; sometimes two ideas can't exist together like the Nazi ideals and Democracy. Sometimes we make compromises. But other aspects may, such as allowing people to practice their own religions, speak their own languages, and celebrate traditions (as long as they don't harm other people in the process). To say that Multiculturalists believe in nothingness is as ignorant as saying all atheists are immoral heathens serving the devil. That comment alone seems to contradict the very thing he was complaining about, not understanding other groups. To say that Multiculturalists believe in nothing is to know nothing about them. I think there are some remarkably intelligent young people out there. Maybe he hasn't met the right ones. Further more, the only point he makes is of him being a snob, just because the college student doesn't know the capital of Saudi Arabia doesn't completely discredit his ideas, the same way someone who may misspell a word yet still understand its meaning entirely. Throwing big words around doesn’t make you a better person and mean u have better ideas. Hitler was considered a genius wasn’t he? Although I agree that people should educate them selves as much possible about different cultures in order to better understand each other. Which, as a student I see many of my peers working towards. And as far as these college being taken over by "liberal cults" well if all these places know for their intelligent people are being more and morel liberal, doesn't that say something about the evolution of today's thinking? I have hope that this means the advancement of society with our promising youth, and that yes freethinking is thriving and spreading like the disease you claim it to be. Now you can go ahead and tear me apart, I'll admit I am a terrible w

*writer and I am sure this is full of grammatical errors which I am sure for some of you will be enough to decide and discredit anything Ive said, but that is why I am In school. To strengthen my voice. So I can stand up to things like the ridiculousness that was this video.
The Decisional Non-decisionI often speak of a thing I call the “decisional non-decision” where one chooses not to choose. This is the worldview that claims it is not a worldview; an intellectual swindle par excellence. It is also the main cornerstone of today’s liberalism…
