Since at least the 1980's and becoming stronger and stronger during the 90's and beyond, a very far-leftist doctrine of "multiculturalism" has been extremely aggressively pushed onto most European and many other western countries via an absolutely massive decades-long social engineering campaign, using the mainstream media and all possible venues.
The primary main goal of this doctrine of "multiculturalism" is, for some reason that I honestly cannot fully comprehend, to bring as many foreign people from non-European countries into Europe. Millions and millions of them. As many as possible. And not just any random non-European, but people that look as different from Europeans as possible, and who come from cultures that are as different and incompatible as possible. The more different, the better.
Having witnessed this importing of foreign cultures into western countries for several decades now, and the effects that it has, I have myself become more and more of a "monoculturalist" over the years.
I don't know if that's an official term (it might well be), but I define it as someone who believes that a nation, and its people, prospers and is the most successful, peaceful and happy, when there is only one single unifying culture with a long history, and that the more significantly the nation is split into multiple cultures, ie. the more this homogeneity is destroyed, the more problems it causes, and the more it deteriorates the well-being, happiness and prosperity of the nation.
This does not, in itself, imply that some cultures are better than others (that's a completely separate question). It merely implies that, even if two or more cultures are by some metric "equally good", they should still not be mixed within the same nation, and all of them will be more prosperous in isolation. It also strongly implies that if two cultures are in some way incompatible with each other in some manner, the more the reason to not mix them (even if on their own both are successful by some metric.)
The reason for this is simple:
A nation prospers when its people share the same values, customs, history, traditions and beliefs, when they understand each other, when they can happily work together for the betterment of not only themselves but everybody, when the amount of misunderstandings, disagreements and schisms are minimized, when there is only "us" rather than "us and those other people who are not us".
In fact, the more strictly homogeneous a culture is, the less discrimination there will be, the less prejudice there will be, the less hatred towards groups of other people there will be. People will be happier with each other, less prejudiced against other people, and more willing to live, cooperate and work together, trust each other, interact with each other, help each other. When people share the same values and beliefs, they are more likely to support each other and form a cohesive community.
In contrast, the more different incompatible cultures there are in a nation, the more prejudiced people become, the more mistrusting they become, the less willing and capable of working together they become. Suddenly you can't trust that another person shares the same values and beliefs as you, and with large populations this will inevitably end up in mistrust, schisms and infighting. The hegemony and cohesion of the nation will be compromised. People will start being prejudiced against other people, mistrust other people, hate other people, and be less willing to cooperate and work with other people. Inevitably, sociopolitical turmoil will happen, with great disagreements on how people should behave and what they should do. Not only will people start attacking (sometimes even literally) people who look different from them, but there will also be division between different sides within the native culture as well. A nation divided cannot stand, and this will become more and more pronounced over time. Not only will the nation be divided along cultural lines, but also within the same native culture as well, as different completely incompatible factions of political thought will inevitably form.
I honestly cannot see any advantages in multiculturalism within a nation. I have been listening to the sermons and spiels of the multiculturalists for literally several decades, and I have never heard a single rational reason why it would be a good thing for a nation. It's always vague hand-waving and wishful thinking with no basis on reality nor any concrete evidence. In fact, the main talking points of multiculturalists aren't actually giving arguments and reasons why multiculturalism is a good thing, but about shaming the native population, especially those who doubt the doctrine. The arguments are very rarely "multiculturalism is good because of this, this and this", and almost always "you have to accept multiculturalism or else you are a bad person", with no real arguments or reasons.
That is why over the past several decades I have become more and more of a "monoculturalist". I can see only rational advantages to it, and no disadvantages.
After all, monoculturalism does not mean isolation from the rest of the world. Of course there can and should be cooperation between nations, between different cultures, and we can learn from other cultures by communicating with them, visiting them, studying them and even doing joint projects. However, I see no advantage in different incompatible cultures living within the same nation. Any theoretical advantages of learning from other cultures can perfectly well be achieved without mixing those cultures within the same nation. Mixing them within the same nation only ends up causing problems.
