Would there be less conflict, war, destruction, suffering, and death if people around the world segregated with other people who are like them? Â
I believe the answer may be - probably. Â
How about you?

We are already segregated by community and class, and places that are "diverse" get long just fine, but only if they're middle class and above and poverty and diversity usually end up in gang wars.

Human nature is sinful. Jealousy, envy, murder, strife, and many more vices are a result. That wonâ€t change if we put all the melanin levels together.
You see it in the Lilly white country clubs.....you see it in the blackest ghettoes.
I think some would do well to segregate themselves. And if thatâ€s the only way they can live peaceably, I wish them well as they do it.
No longer GroupThink 'woke'. but it was fun while it lasted.

Yes, just take the heterogeneous white culture of Appalachia. No crime, no drug abuse, no alcohol abuse, just a sea of perfectly happy people.

Was there less war, conflict, and suffering from Adam to 1900, when things were more segregated?

Everything was just perfect in the Garden Eden of Europe from oh, when Charlemagne became HRE until 1980s when the Berlin wall came down. PUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUURFECT!

I think integration, diversity to use a liberal buzzword (Newspeak), has pluses and minuses. On a whole I think it's mostly beneficial. But does that mean there's something wrong with a society like Japan's for instance?

And for thousands of years, no war at all. This whole Shogun and samurai are additional myths. Everyone lived in perfect harmony.

I'm wondering how many of the virtue signalers here live in a mostly black area. I am guessing about zero.

Now those Quakers though, very dangerous people. They'd sooner rip your head off instead of speaking with you. And don't get me started with the Amish. Just a bunch of thugs.

I would say TOO MUCH diversity can be a bad thing. Or diversity for diversity's sake (like we see now) is bad.
On the whole, a homogenous culture, where everyone looks the same, speaks the same, and has the same religion can certainly have benefits.
But can also lead you to be a muslim hellhole if your not careful. Or a place where 3rd is ostracized for being an Atheist. Or Chinabuck is shunned for having a non white wife.
But it is a balancing act. Too much diversity can also lead to being Yugoslavia or the Austrian-Hungarian Empire.
Diversity can prevent extremes from developing, or at least too many of them.

This lends to the idea that hate for others is a natural trait. I canâ€t believe that.

Better watch out. You will be called Hitler.
