>But it is he who extemporaneously alters the definition of cosmopolitanism to mean that all White nations must become “multicultural and multiethnic.” There is nothing in the Enlightenment requiring European nationalists (who believe in peaceful cultural exchanges among nations) to welcome immigration and diversity. Pinker’s claim that European national pride and ethnic identity leads to parochialism and intellectual narrowness can be categorized as a form of irrational indoctrination obscuring the actual origins of Enlightenment ideals within ethnically homogeneous European nations.
What is it about the (((Pinker’s))) that cause them to constantly attempt to distort and undermine our history and values and when will we stop putting up with it?
Unless that article is arguing that the Enlightenment thinkers were in favour of parochial nationalism (and I'm pretty sure they weren't- ethnic nationalism was a romantic reaction -against- Enlightenment values), that makes no sense.
>ethnic nationalism was a romantic reaction -against- Enlightenment value Wrong. America was de facto or even de jure an ethnonationalist country for most of its history.
Michael Bailey
Nationalism of any kind was made possible by the enlightenment, hence revolutionaries referring to themselves as patriots rather than subjects of the crown.

You're right, I'm sure they would have been happy about their nations being repopulated with Africans.

I just can't handle it. Either be religious or anti-civilisation, but these fucking atheists who want to be progressive moral fags, it just doesn't add up.
Jordan Young
But correct morality is just obvious, you know? And it just so happens to line up exactly with my political views. If you need religion to be a good person, you're probably not a good person, eh?

Christ he is such a typical lame US academic with his totally naive outlook and shitty little "jokes" (I'm not an optimist, I'm a POSSIBLIST! ho ho [guffaws in liberal bourgeoisie])

>the Enlightenment thinkers were ethno-nationalists because the USA has featured ethno-nationalism What? I feel this argument is missing several logical steps.
Jose Moore
Ethnonationalism is the default position before nations are polluted by the dogmas of multiculturalism and multiracialism. Anyone who lived in an ethnically homogeneous society and didn't actively fight against it is an implicit ethnonationalist.

/pol/ pls

Refute this

And anyone who lived in a Communist state and didn’t actively fight against it is an implicit Communist.
I'm not a fan of Pinker, but I really hope communism ends up winning globally. Even stalinism. I just want this /pol/ crossboard shitposting to end already, even if it means getting the gulags up and running again.
Oh, right, I should not take advantage of you when it is in my power to do so because my stove told me. Geez, whichever idiot came up with the Ring of Gyges problem should have just gotten a stove and a calculator. Thanks.
