it is for this reason that i will argue that of the two competing theories of societal structure, melting pot and salad, that only the former is really capable of supporting an actual and functional social contract and that as we have moved from the flourishing former to the “multi-culti melange” of salad speak that we have become rudderless in our lack of shared metaphor and expectation and therefore lose our ability to live with one another in productive fashion or perhaps, increasingly, at all.

we have taken the cohesive and broken it into warring tribes and taken our shared dreams and polestars and rendered them squalid negative-sum scuffles for regulated prominence. we have taken our contract and replaced it with angry babble and empty, indoctrination driven legalism. and if we would restore our civilization, this is what we must remedy.
