What?!?!?! Losing your culture is OK?

That attitude makes me hate internationalists. Culture is an amazing thing, having so many different cultures all around the world is so beautiful. The fact I can go to France and see one culture, and then drive to the Czech Republic and see another totally different one is the reason I love to travel. Why bother when everything is homogenized, with a standard "human" culture?

Funnily enough, I believe I said this.

Contrary to what many believe, evils of losing a culture are mainly superficial when replaced by an open culture.

What would you lose? You would still have French with berets with stripy jumpers, you will still have Japanese eating sushi, you will still have Curry night on Thursdays. The whoile idea that internationalist agenda creates a bland and exact sameness everywhere is superficial. An open culture is open to all the facets of learning, experimentation and being open to others of different cultures. You can easily go to Japan and learn about the Shogunate's and that will never change, just like trying and adopting features like trying out curry. The whole openess doesn't actually remove anyway, it only adds.

Your arguments are just alarmist and superficial with no grounding in reality.

No, you said that losing your own culture is fine and dandy as long as you replace it with a culture that accepts everything. If not, your wording was off and you may want to elaborate.

I mean, are all the nations in the EU identical in culture, and if it became a Federal State, why would they just suddenly become the same. Your arguments are just alarmist and superficial with no grounding in reality.

I didn't say that they would all become the same, but eventually it may well homogenize - if it isn't torn apart by the differences first.
