Harmony and peace are the same thing when living among a group with similar or same values, cultures, etc. as your own. So no, it's not an oxymoron.

No. People have a right to be left alone regardless of their values, culture and traditions provided they keep such things to themselves.

Living in a free society means sometimes having to live with people, things, values, cultures and traditions you don't like.

I can’t remember asking the weirdo’s to live among us.

Just the same, those persons cannot stop people not like them from moving to their areas.
Again, we're not talking about race here. Re-read the title of the topic. No, just as long as an area is under federal rule aka the Unites States of America a citizen can't be stopped from moving where they want to. The question is why would they want to move to an area where the majority doesn't share their political, social and cultural beliefs? That's what we have now and there is a lot of clash because of it.

Harmony implies a combining of the different things into one, not separating them.

But again, I guess I have a hard time conceptualizing this. I forgot to add that I’ve also never lived anywhere terribly homogenous, either.

We got along fine until this snowflake woke culture decided that some people deserved more than others and got laws passed to favor one class/gender over another.

Forcing is oppression and people rebel against oppression.

Forcing people to call a man "her" or "she" under threat of losing your job ?
That is NOT a free society.

100%. Leave me alone and I leave you alone. We all mind our own business and take personal responsibility for looking after ourselves. That's how you have peace and harmony.

We have had an identifying culture and language for some time now. So no, we aren't multi-cultural per se. We have minority cultures living among us but so what? We are an established country and have been for hundreds of years now so there is no sense in bringing up the past. There were no natives either. Everyone migrated here from somewhere else including those you call "natives".

People usually do live in areas where most other people share their values, culture and traditions.

That is why some places in America are deep red and some places are deep blue.

So, what is anybody going to do about that?

We had natural assimilation before we had forced multiculture.

Remember melting pot vs salad bowl ?
