Calling other people Nazis for not agreeing with you is a pretty pathetic form of ad hominem.

"You don't agree? You're a RACIST. You're a HOMOPHOBE. You're a MISOGYNIST. You're a TRANSPHOBE. WHITE PRIVILEGE. DURKA DURR."

Discredit or invalidate the source, and it doesn't matter if they destroyed your argument with logic and reason, right? Right.

I unterstand.

'In my mind you are a flat earther' was designed to end the argument then and there, at a wrong premise, at a nazi argument, after misrepresenting my position three times.
It´s not a nazi argument to say that genetics are the basis of race.
I am living in China now. If people ask me where I´m wrong I sometimes jokingly name a Chinese city and everybody laughes and expects me to give a real answer. Why? Because I am obviously not Chinese. My GENES are different. My ancestry is different. My race is different.
If you deny this simple truth you are actually worse than a flat earther. At least flat earthers have some entertaining arguments.

If there is not genetic basis for race/ancestry, then GENocide is actually just the attempt of eradicating random people. THIS should be a taboo, you effing moron.

I am fine with using a different word for race if it makes you feel uncomfortable. I will also call you "she" if that is your wish. But the concept remains: Are genetics the basis for ancestry or not?
If your wife cheats on you with a Korean and you still decide to raise the child, are you the ancestor of that child or not? Why not? Effing GENES!

All it does is empowering extremes.

People used to not give a shit, used to be color blind, now they do give a shit, and not always positively.
The Star Wars fandom was called multiple time racist, sexist and what have you. Darth Vader, Luke's father, is voiced by James Earl Jones. You've never heard anyone say anything negative about it.. Nobody cares that the man voicing Darth Vader didn't look like Luke's father. It just never mattered before.
But now, thanks to these actors that are stepping down for not looking like who they voice, it may.

When before people were able to have their opinion, and discuss and debate. It's not possible anymore. If you don't think exactly like me I will block you, and I will get everyone else to block you. You're either with me or against me. No middle ground.
Cancel culture is not progress. It's exactly the opposite.

If there's one thing that needs to be cancelled, it's social media. Burn it to the ground. People get addicted to it, addicted to be around people who share their ideas that resonate in their echo chamber, and by doing so people have become absolutely incapable to deal with opposition peacefully.

Oh, and because it might have provoked the reaction, me stating that 'I find dealing with racism easy, I just tell people to blow up all their believe systems and see what happens from then' - was actually a self deprecating joke, and not me boasting, that I will have solved racism by next week.

Cynicism doesnt play so well always, written down.

FUNILLY ENOUGH, I havent called another person a nazi, because they disagreed with my position, but because

- they tried over three pages to find a reason, why behavior would be motivated by genetic traits (phenotype would determine genotype)
- after jumping in to defend a dude, that wanted to compare black people with bulldogs
- they did it derogatively ('what if black people are more aggressive', 'black people have a higher divorce rate (what), because they are on welfare (what)?
- they misrepresented my standpoint three times in a row, and tried to end the argument on antogonizing something I hadnt said - and blamed it on difficulties in understanding
- then they cited Victor Mendel, trying to construct, that race is a genetic concept primarily
- then they tried to misconstrue reality, by stating that anyone who would believe that race is a social construct would be a flat earther, while its actually the mainstream scientific position today.
--

and all of that - combined, is how Neonazis recruit on the internet today - if you find unfair, that you cant use Mendels theories, to construct a world view, where race is based on genes, and responsible for 'problematic behavioral traits' -

you are a Nazi. By definition.

Also I have to hit FGFlan in the face, because he used the movie Freaks to emotionally defend Nazi ideology. Thats a mindf*ck I havent come across on the internet yet.

If you find all of this so toxic, and would rather discuss taboo Nazi ideology in this forum for ages, and then denounce people that tell you the mainstream science position of the day - please move over to 4chan today. I will suckepunch a dude (rhetorically), that tries to spread Neonazi recruitement tech in this forum.

Everytime.

None of us. (As long as they want to popularize that view.)

Also, Mendelian genetics played a role in debates over racial ideology— especially about policy relating to miscegenation—within the Nazi regime. However, in the decades preceding Hitler’s rise to power, many German racial theorists had synthesized Gobineau, Mendel, and antisemitism with social Darwinism. Nazi racial theory generally embraced this synthesis. Racial thinkers, such as Ludwig Woltmann and Ludwig Schemann, had synthesized Gobineau and Darwin long before Hitler.15 The leading anthropologist Eugen Fischer and the geneticist Fritz Lenz, both influential figures in racial science during the Nazi period, embraced both Gobineau and Darwinism. Hans-Walter Schmuhl perceptively notes that despite some contradictions between Gobineau’s racism and social Darwinism, “Nonetheless toward the end of the nineteenth century formulations of Gobineauism and social Darwinism blended into syncretistic racial theories.”16 Some leading antisemitic thinkers in early twentieth-century Germany, such as Theodor Fritsch and Willibald Hentschel, incorporated Darwinism into antisemitic ideology.17 Thus, many Nazi racial theorists interpreted the opposition between the Nordic and Jewish race as an episode in the Darwinian struggle for existence.

edit:
I believe, the following also - verbatim - was one of the arguments UltraDolphinRevolution made in here (when he tried to argue, why 'racial breeding' (isolation), and selection biases had been in place to form very distinct genetic races as well which would be why you could compare black people to pitbulls - his words, not mine.):
Heberer was a pivotal figure in Germany in the development of the neo-Darwinian synthesis, the theory that synthesized Darwinian evolution with Mendelian genetics while rejecting Lamarckism. He edited what some historians consider the most important work on evolutionary theory during the Nazi period, Die Evolution der Organismen (1943). Four of the eighteen essays were on human evolution by the anthropologists Christian von Krogh, Wilhelm Gieseler, Reche, and Weinert (all but Reche were in the SS). Gieseler’s contribution to Heberer’s anthology was on “The Fossil History of Humans.” His vision of evolutionary history was consistent with the newly forming neo-Darwinian synthesis, since he explained that the most important mechanisms of evolution were mutations, selection, and isolation.44

edit2: UltraDolphinRevolution then furthermore suggested, that he would be fine with extreme forms of Social-Darwinism ('its ok, if even 70% of students in Harvard are asian') because he saw that as a 'natural struggle between races', coincidentally with his own race 'winning'. And explicitly, that he found it outrageous, even unfair, to stop that 'social darwinist selection' by maintaining some form of racial diversity (that f.e. would represent people based on demographics, instead of just fostering 'a master race') in your highest educational institutions. All that - Nazi ideology as well.

THE ONLY other argument UltraDolphinRevolution allowed for, despite something being 'racially determined, genetically', was not circumstance, living conditions, economic outlook, historical perspective, or lack of role models, not - it was "family education". Nazi ideology.

I think you could get the pattern by now...


But calling them a Nazi is unfair, because you dont do it? Thats cancel culture at its finest.

Dumb, doctrinistic, ideology driven, and against using words, because words are so hurtful.

Pronouncing something toxic all the time yourself because thats considered 'a good word', even you shut down arguments with it all the time, without any reason given.

It's absolutely crazy that you would seriously call someone a nazi just for interpreting race using a standard dictionary definition. Not only that, you are ignoring UltraDolphinRevolution's repeated acknowledgment of the cultural factors of race, which they did again only one page back. Getting this emotional about a perfectly reasonable concept is absurd.

I have reported your smearing attempt for misquoting, notemp.

"which would be why you could compare black people to pitbulls - his words, not mine"
Please find this quote of mine then.

There are too many misrepresentations to count. If your post is not deleted I will mention them one by one.


In the meantime: notimp told me in a PM that he enjoys child pornography every now and then.
See? I can also do name-calling and be creative.

Really? in what kind of discussion have you been?
i mean just words out of contentdo not resemble any truth.
though i don't like the words i see him abuse here, he might've been joking/provoking.
i do see provoking kind of being his style of talking here, so i'm troubled taking by the way he writes serious.
i think you mean @notimp
not everyone online is truthfull, wait let me make this more clear, most people online are untruthfull.
they either joke, provoke or opportunists.

This is a typical tactic of neo nazis like notimp btw: Escalate so that a thread will be closed. He has lost the debate and now wants it to be shut down.

I will continue to call notimp a neo nazi because he speaks of a "master race" (words I never use) and challenges the hard-earned positions of accomplishments (e.g. at Harvard) my people (Jews) are in.
This reminds me of the 1930s in Nazi Germany.
He is therefore an Anti-Semite.
He also expresses violent fantasies against other users. "Also I have to hit FGFlan in the face." + "I will suckepunch a dude (rhetorically)..."

Yet this antisemitic neo nazi has the audacity to call others such names.

-Many white Americans are hypersensitive to race because of slavery. White people have a ton of guilt. Many people are afraid to lose their job for saying anything that might be interpreted as racist. We have people like Al Sharpton who have had careers in blackmailing businesses so that he doesn't accuse them of racism. An accusation of racism, just or unjust, is sometimes enough to ruin your career in America or create a multi-million dollar lawsuit.

Many uncultivated people think that slavery was only performed by white people towards black people, but in the annals of history, slavery has been done between all races: white people having white slaves, black people having black slaves, black with white slaves, and all combinations you can imagine.

The concept of "white people having a lot of guilt" for something they did not commit themselves is as stupid as it gets.

The purpose of history is to learn from past mistakes, not to repeat them in the future. If history is manipulated and sold differently then we reach the current state where everything has to be cancelled and no one is allowed to do anything as there will always be someone being offended by something.

Has cancel culture gone too far? Who knows.

What has gone too far is this thread, where after 12 pages, things have devolved into name calling, insult slinging, false accusations, and so many other things that it's clear to see that keeping the discussion open will only lead to further insanity.
