[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Everyone knows that countries with culturally homogeneous populations generally have a stronger ability to maintain the social contracts that sustain progressive policies. This is not controversial.

When cultural values are highly divergent within a country, of course people will not be as willing to support the sort of redistributionist policies that are part of progressivism. The reason the US has been able to stick around so long with a lot of immigrants is because it did not have those sort of left-wing policies.[/quote]

Your logic:  the reason we don't have progressive policies is because racists won't support them.  Well there's a vote in favor of progressive policies.

It's not "social contracts", it's "the social contract", and its' from Locke.  Locke did not believe that the social contract was based on culture but on philosophical truths that are inherent to all of humanity.  [/quote]

Locke made his theories in 17th century England….he’d poop his pants if he saw Birmingham or south London today.
