Those who abandon moral tradition are fated to learn the reasons why it evolved in the first place.
Perfect quote. Imma keep that.
Honestly, it's why I don't advocate for a legal enforcement of those morals from an "ethical state". Let those moral traditions recover naturally by not intervening in the system in the first place.
Those moral traditions don’t return in multicultural societies. That’s why multiculturalism always results in an authoritarian state - there’s no other way to keep the peace without shared culture and values.
It's exactly the opposite. What you call "multiculturalism" is ethnic balkanization, and that is built intentionally by authoritarian states. Not the other way around.
And yes, those moral traditions will tend to re-emerge in a society that protects the basic tenets of Liberalism based on a Christian moral order. This is mostly because any member of any ethnic group that can't co-exist within a Liberal order will have to leave or be forced to leave, because Liberalism is unwilling to tolerate other systems.
A Liberal framework, begets a liberal population (as in, a liberty-focused population based on local communal and family ties).
