Why Diversity Is Strength

We on the progressive left know instinctively that diversity is strength. The phrase ‘diversity is strength’ is absolutely not some meaningless platitude, an Orwellian quote from our dystopian future (or, arguably, present), or a mere political slogan intended to ‘re-assure’ a sometimes sceptical ‘native’ population. The truism instead finds its foundations in both critical race theory and empirical science. In other words, the science is settled, which implies it’s not up for discussion by dissident Republicans.

But, how exactly does one go about explain to a sceptic exactly why it is that importing millions of low-skilled, benefits-seeking, English language-challenged, military aged men from North Africa, Middle East etc. makes us stronger and our society more cohesive? Also, is our military really a more formidable force by having trans-snipers, womyn and polytranspecies curious soldiers fighting on the front line? Is diversity really strength?

These are questions you will rarely, if ever, see asked on the Accredited media. We are fearless reporters, however, only interested in the Accredited truth, and therefore are happy investigate further. To be fair, we can’t expect the Guardian to report on every single issue, especially when there are topics such as period emojis to cover.

The best way to explain something which may seem counterintuitive, paradoxical even, is through the use of analogy.

Diversity in society works exactly like alloys. An alloy is a metal made by combining two or more metallic elements which, when combined, are stronger than the individual metals in isolation. An example of an alloy is steel,made by combining iron and carbon. On their own, iron and carbon are certainly strong, but they are much stronger when combined. How exactly this happens is the stuff of hard science. Know only that the science is settled.

In other words:

– an army consisting of 100% cis gendered white males with family to return to will easily be defeated by an opposing army with 10% trans soldiers, 15% Muslim feminist lesbians and 10% non-binaries in it

– an army without polytranspecies curious soldiers will be routed

Let us then apply this analogy to countries such as Sweden or Germany which were simply too weak to exist in isolation and needed a good old fashioned infusion of Eritrean-Syrians and Guinean-Syians. Both Sweden and Germany have now become permanently culturally enriched and their populations much happier and integrated as a result of integration. Their economies are also far more robust. Before recent immigration, Sweden was largely a minor white nation with nothing much going for it. Thanks to an influx of ‘new Swedes’, Sweden can compete on the world stage and in years to come will benefit from high natality of migrants.

It should now be clear why strength is ensure by having as much diversity as possible. As for the special forces regiments of our armed forces, it is quite clear that having sufficient representation from all LGBTQIAMA+ Community members is the only way to defeat Russia.
