"When you think about what culture is, it is the accumulation of past beliefs: it is the burden of ignorance we take on from our ancestors.  It is a set of authoritarian attitudes that the past is trying to impose upon the present and the future.  And we have to resist it all."

This is PART TWO OF TWO.  Atheism opposes a single belief only, whereas nihilism opposes them all, dealing with the root causes (and fundamental defects) of belief as such; therefore, a nihilistic critique of multiculturalism is inevitable, as a nihilist cannot see a plurality of false beliefs as an improvement on just one --for all the same reasons that we would not see a country divided between many warring forms and factions of islam as superior to a country unified by just one (although that one and the many would be equally false).
