DIANA WEST: This is due to the freezing effect multiculturalism has had on Western logic of making distinctions among cultures, particularly between "the West" and "the rest" give me cultural equivalence, or give me death by media frenzy . . .

U know who gave a more important address about Western civ? Silvio Berlsuconi. Right after 9/11 he explained why Western civilization was great AND superior to Islam in every way. We learn thru comparison. Too bad for Western civ he recanted. #TheDeathOfTheGrownup https://t.co/zhLy61GGfL

In the meantime--our own era--such terminal tolerance is positively praised as an act of "inclusion"; thus, it never draws multiculti cat calls of "mean-spiritedness" or "racism," the two terms of a program the terminally tolerant will do absolutely anything to avoid to the point of committing cultural suicide by contrast any act of closing ranks as a western culture banning publications calling for homosexual defenstration . . .
