The Dream That Became Reality

A long standing goal of progressives in the West has been the establishment of multiculturalism, and it is now safe to say that this dream has come true. We are finally at a point where people are free to live according to their culture wherever they choose to live in the West.

One aspect of this is the multitude of ways that anger can be expressed. It is after all quite natural to react with anger when provoked. The fact that this results in vastly different behaviours, depending on culture, is one of the gifts of multiculturalism. Some may react to provocation with angry words, and some may react with stabbings and beheadings. It all depends on culture.

An important lesson that comes with multiculturalism is that it's wrong to provoke people. While reacting with anger is natural, doing things that provoke anger is bad. This is why we need to think twice before expressing ourselves publically. Anything that may provoke anger must be muted and toned down. Some things must not be said at all. We must keep a lid on our thoughts, because provocative thoughts have a tendency to come out as provocative speech.

This is in stark contrast to how things were before multiculturalism. People said and did offensive stuff all the time without much thought to the anger that they provoked. The West was a cesspool of free speech, and the transformation away from this has been remarkable. We have become a lot more polite. The dream of multiculturalism has finally become reality.
