In this case that “ethnostate” is a made-up word invented to describe the normal status-quo before the cult of multiculturalism.
You won’t find that in Locke. :mrgreen:
This is a false narrative.
All countries have had cultural and social minorities within their borders. FORCED cultural integration, and not just in terms of a set of values, but in terms of imposing one religion, one obligatory language, and one and only one culture, has caused lots of troubles pretty much everywhere, from Imperial Japan to Thirty Years' War to fascism.
The countries which have achieved some sort of inner peace and stability are those which have accepted some compromises about multiple cultures within their borders, from Canada to Belgium to Switzerland, limiting the role of the nation to establish common laws and civil values. Otherwise you've had "population transfers", pogroms, forced expulsions, discrimination and violence, civil wars, independentist movements, terrorism, ethnic cleansing, genocide (REAL genocides).
It's easy to forget that rather recently, historically speaking, differences in religion in Ireland were a HUGE source of violence. Or that in the 20th century France and Germany fought two world wars for (among other reasons) whether Alsace and Lorraine were German or French. To say nothing of the very historically recent Balkan wars between Serbs, Croats and Bosniaks, or between Serbs and Kosovo Albanians, complete with mass murders of civilians. And this is even leaving aside all the ethnic tensions that led to the rise of Nazism, from Danzing to the Sudetenland. Even today the war in the Ukraine and socio-political tensions in the Baltics are closely related to the presence of Russian-speaking minorities in non-Russian majority countries.
Or if we want to talk about Scandinavia, since there are Scandinavian flags in the video preview, there's plenty you can read about the socio-cultural tensions between Sweden and Finland over the Aland islands (which weren't completely resolved until the end of World War Two) or the cultural/ethnic issues in Karelia and Ingria that led to the Winter War and later the conflict in World War Two between Finland and Russia. Or we can talk about Denmark and the contemporary issues in and over Greenland.
To believe in an age of peaceful culturally homogeneous ethno-states torn apart by Evil Multiculturalism is to believe in a myth.
