There is no narrative. Humans prefer to function alongside those who hold similar values to their own. This increases efficiency (when the values are productive) and naturally results in a feedback loop that ideally will improve that value set.
I know many of us have to go to HR training now and learn about the wonders of diversity, but there's a lot to be said (in nature and history) from shared values and culture.
Diversity of though is no longer the party line. Now it's diversity of experience. Just like equity has replaced equality, and same outcome has replaced same chances.
Grifters can only make money, sell their books/trainings if they keep moving the goal posts.
Shared values and culture necessitate limited tolerance for diversity of thought.
That's just reality. You can't share values if you tolerate people thinking other values are better.
Culturally also. In the US, back when everyone ate chicken, spoke English, and went to some form of Christian church on Sundays, there was very little cultural diversity tolerated.

It seems like a toxic, dystopian, totalitarian nightmare to live in a society like that. I want dissent. I want good debate. I want people to be able to call bullshit when it is. I want to bring down people that have posted up themselves to these unproductive positions, dogmatizing their ideology by force and by shame, not by good intent, listening to each other, and seeking truth and fairness.
Culture is "pull", not "push". You want to pull people with empathy, not supress them. No one is forcing people to wear British invented shirts and pants. They are because people choose to over their native dress. It is utilitarian, comfortable and superior.
> I want people to be able to call bullshit when it is.
If only there was a universal catalog of "bullshit" things. Since there isn't, it's common for those out of tune with the majority in one aspect to dislike their opinions being called out as bullshit, subjectively.
Not leaving room for nuance is bullshit. As an example, for manufacturing engineering, "1 + 2 = 4" may be well within the tolerances. So, it being bullshit depends on the error bars (I get it, some people don't believe in the existence of error bars)
