That’s correct. All I’m saying is that for all of our high minded thought about absolute individual liberty and everyone being able to coexist, other people in the world don’t see it that way. And if you don’t acknowledge that reality and don’t spend any time learning about what shapes culture, and the type of culture you want to live in, you will be at a huge disadvantage.

I agree it's naive to think you can let in millions of people unvetted from a totally different culture and expect things not to fall apart catstrophically. The kumbaya bullshit of the left does not play in real life. But the reactive identity politics of the right is also a mistake IMO, and you see it cropping up a lot now.
