The progs have pushed the idea that diversity is the reason that the West is so successful.
This is false. The West is great because of meritocracy and despite diversity.
We let people come here, from everywhere and for a long time, because they were the best at what they did. We paid a cost for this in social coherence but, up until recently, it was controlled and much less than what we gained.
Then we got it into our heads that diversity was the thing to pursue instead of merit. So we just started bringing in tons of unskilled people and refugees, which destroyed social cohesion and bought nothing of value.
