It's not in the intercultural spirit to ...
LEO has "esprit" as one translation of "Witz." Loosely, this could be "spirit", as in the "spirit of interculturalism" or "intercultural spirit."
The author is saying that supporting national governments undermines interculturalism, so simply capturing the idea that the support "doesn't make sense" leaves some of the meaning out.
