Except yes: https://www.amazon.com/000-Year-Explosion-Civilization-Accelerated/dp/0465020429/ref=pd_lpo_sbs_14_img_0/135-3519047-9083569?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=QPWTKJN7TEEGM5CF53ZH

Evolution and biology explain the differences much better.

> comparing tests from the 20's to the tests of the 70's as if the testing hasn't changed at all since then

> socioeconomic status improved

So if it's just culture then why did Jews and Italians increase in SES but so many others didn't? Wouldn't they all increase since the environment is shared? Why just them?? Seems like a hole in your narrative.

When all their debts are called in.

They fucked the german people with all these special payment systems. The Volkswagen was a pretty typical example. Citizens were paying towards this 5 year scheme that would allow them to get a car at the end of it. Except all the money was being spent on arms.

Also they issued special bonds to factories that promised them repayment (presumably "after" the war).

It was all an enormous gamble that relied on them winning the War, US and UK not getting involved and then them crushing Russia.

Anyone who claims Hitler and his cronies were financial geniuses who managed to save Germany from the Versailles treaty are ignorant at best, but more than likely they are nazis themselves.

Highly recommend this book if ever you want to beat one of these Nazi apologists down with actual facts, names, dates.

If you're into neuroscience, have you ever looked into class/race differences in IQ distribution?

Pretty good book I recommend: https://www.amazon.com/Bell-Curve-Intelligence-Structure-Paperbacks/dp/0684824299/

Sadly, the physical sensation of feeling like you're moving backwards while the train next to you starts moving forwards directly translates to our sociological understanding of the world; humans use comparison extensively to create and mold their view of a moral and just world. When a lot of socio-economic progress is made for everyone but a single individual (or group of individuals), it is very easily translated into a feeling of moving backwards. Again, this is because humans create their understanding of the world by making comparisons and if, from an individual's perspective, everyone else is moving forward, that can just as easily feel as if the individual is moving backward.

Check out The Broken Ladder: How Inequality Affects the Way We Think, Live, and Die. The author examines a wide range of socio/psych experiments to understand exactly how inequality and shifts in status affect the human brain.

EDIT: some grammar

Fun fact - Civil War re-enactors will soak their buttons in urine to get them to look authentic. Yes, they consider this to be a good use of their time.

> How is whiteness associated with private property?

I'm referring to the emergence of private property as upheld by Liberal political theory through the likes of John Locke and its associated legal systems, which have their origin in Modern Europe and was co-produced through the massive waves of European colonialism. Thus I'm referring to 'property' as a legally-sanctioned and policed set of relations that are inherent to the Modern state, a model of societal organization that is more or less globalized these days. I can provide some good readings on the relations between private property, liberalism, and the construction of race if you're interested.

Do you have sources for your claim that private property as I have defined it existed in the Chinese Empire? Can you also define the Chinese Empire and its boundaries through time and space? Genuinely interested to learn more.

I think I actually agree with you in general, but my point is that contemporary forms of power are concealed in whiteness and its relation to the private property relations of European liberal state-making and their institutional structures that still dominate most of the world today. So in other words, its not that these problems are exclusive to whites, as you have pointed out nicely, but that the current legal-political infrastructures of the world are dominantly copies and a perpetuation of white liberalist ideas. I completely agree that discrimination and patriarchy have been central to human relations. I just think that there current dominant iteration is within the political and legal structures of white Europe (which still exist in non-white spaces like India or Indonesia or Latin America as a consequence of European colonization). You are right that slavery is rather common in terms of human history, but chattel slavery, the form of slavery inherent to Europeans and upheld through legal sanctioning (even in democracies - in fact democracy is built on slavery, ironically) is a uniqe form in relation to private property and the creation of the 'race' category.

> Get your head out of your ass man. Yes you needed to hear that again. Read a little world history. Do you even know who the "whites" really are? They don't teach that in your school, I'll tell you that.

I have read some world history. Apologies I've made you angry, and probably because my quick and dirty reddit post that I wrote on my phone wasn't particularly rigorous. I do know where the notion of whiteness comes from, and it has its roots in the emergence of the idea of race as first instigated by the Spanish inquisition in the late 1400s as part of the development of state bureaucracies (you can read about this through Irene Silverblatt). In a dialectical sense, Whiteness then came to construct itself in opposition to the 'Other' throughout the various colonial projects of the Spanish, Dutch, British, French and then later the Italians and Germans as they saught to control and discipline their colonial periphery through knowledge - hence the rise of census making, statistics, and other forms of state control (folks like Foucault and Said are key thinkers here).

> Language controls you and you don't even know it.

Yes, true. This is a basic tenant of the social sciences and humanities, and also a good reason for the rise of critical theory and other post-Marxist theories for they wanted to find ways to always be interrogating our language structures and how they colour our viewpoint without us knowing it, i.e. the concept of 'ideology'. In fact I'm actually more interested in how white and black are used by different cultural groups but sometimes I prefer to participate in the discourse itself because I agree with direction of the politics.

> Black and white are also really horrible terms, and ignores the fact that that are many different races within the broad groups of "white" or "black" - I think people of african/european descent is much more objective. But I digress.

For that reason I completely agree with you that black and white are difficult categories, but so are basically any terms we could use to describe people and their groups. I think however that these words have important cultural salience and can point us to certain historically produced structures, and so it is more of a pragmatic issue of whether or not to use them. These words also have important cultural and situated importance for the groups thesmelves, for instance things like the Black power movement or Black lives matter where blackness is integral to fighting against the whiteness that has long oppressed them in America (I understand these terms are less useful outside of America). Also what makes you think that European descent and African descent are 'more objective'? Objective of/to what?

Finally on your point about minority - no I don't really use those terms. Yes the literal skin colour of people on Earth is much less white than otherwise, but my point again was that Whiteness is a kind of systems and political organization that is specific to Western liberalism and can thus be practiced by those who are not 'white' in the colloquial sense.

Happy to chat more.

That doesn’t work. And it didn’t work during the Black Freedom Struggle either, definitely not in the Deep South.

Armed, violent resistance was necessary.

As you should, you think you would have been part of the solution and not the problem if you were a member of Nazi Germany? No, you’d contribute to the problem.

Edit: This is a great book that explains this in depth.

Plus like every single person involved with that case wrote a book.

Just look at this fucking joke

It's worth mentioning now that Black Panther is currently being written by Ta-Nehisi Fucking Coates, is fantastic, and the volume 1 hardback was released on Tuesday.

the entire Third Reich was permeated with drugs: cocaine, heroin, morphine and, most of all, methamphetamines, or crystal meth, used by everyone from factory workers to housewives, and crucial to troops' resilience - even partly explaining German victory in 1940. The promiscuous use of drugs at the very highest levels also impaired and confused decision-making, with Hitler and his entourage taking refuge in potentially lethal cocktails of stimulants administered by the physician Dr Morell

Is the book it's a pretty good read and funny because of how fucked up they got

u/laxweasel · 30 pointsr/beholdthemasterrace

Here's a book for you, try it out.

You're fine with state sanctioned violence (cops) but not with people advocating against a reprehensible ideology.

Even all out Neo-Nazi Andrew Anglin admits:

> The biggest and most important lesson is that large rallies on public property, where we know there is going to be confrontation with antifa, are not a good idea.

Warning, actual neo-nazi piece of trash source

Antifascist tactics have forced them to abandon large public demonstrations where, unopposed they would appear powerful and have the ability to recruit.

A common dictionary isn't the final authority on the meaning of a word. The Oxford English Dictionary or OED at some 20 or 25 volumes is continuously update and revised. For example the longest entry in the OED had been "Set" it is now the second.

Terrorism is complex and not a simple easy concept.

Political Terrorism: A New Guide to Actors, Authors, Concepts, Data Bases, Theories, and Literature 1st Edition by A.J. Jongman if my memory serves me correctly looks at over 100 plus elements for definitions. https://www.amazon.com/Political-Terrorism-Concepts-Theories-Literature/dp/1412804698

Case Western Reserve Journal of International Law 2004 look for "Terrorism The Definitional Problem" by Alex Schmid I downloaded and skimmed it is a start

This ends my part of the conversation. Good luck if you are looking to learn or fuck off if you wish to troll.
