Diversity is White Genocide

by corrie54 in

asia for the asians, africa for the africans, white countries for everybody!.

everybody says there is this race problem.

everybody says this race problem will be solved when the third world pours into every white country and only into white countries.. the netherlands and belgium are just as crowded as japan or taiwan, but nobody says japan or taiwan will solve this race problem by bringing in millions of third worlders and quote assimilating unquote with them.. everybody says the final solution to this race problem is for every white country and only white countries to “assimilate,” i.e., intermarry, with all those non-whites.. what if i said there was this race problem and this race problem would be solved only if hundreds of millions of non-blacks were brought into every black country and only into black countries?.

Quote: There was amazing technical advance in ancient Egypt, China. but somehow nothing compares with the advancement that humankind has seen during the dominance of the pale race, including the jewish people of course.

This where these sort of arguments start to fall apart, This poster wants to describe Jewish people as "pale." If we accept (for a moment) Jewish mythological origin stories as true, Abraham is described as coming from Ur in Mesopotamia, which means that Abraham was likely a Sumerian or a Semite. Whether or not that story has an truth in it. the Jews can only be described as West Asian ( if it matters). To describe contemporary European Jews as belonging to 'pale skinned' group may be true now, but that situation could only have come about through intermarriage (even if it was only with local converts). The skin color of Jesus and his followers was most likely darker than that of any 'pale' group. And likely many of the contemporary Moslem people of Palestine had the same ancestors as Jesus. The only difference is that at some point in history they found it convenient to convert to Islam. And likely they are 'purer' ethnically than any of the contemporary Jews that rule modern Israel. Paradoxical isn't it?

Can we (yet) know for sure the skin color of any ancestral people? How many 'white' Europeans have Asian ancestors, as a result of the western migration of the peoples in and to the north of modern China?

What is really under discussion here are two things. What has been the impact of the modern nations that form Europe on the world? And, in the so-called Industrial revolution, how many things are genuinely new discoveries?

Skin color is not a choice, our skin color is determined by our genes. In the dim distant past it is believed that all people may have had a 'colored' skin, then a mutation caused some people to lose much of their skin pigmentation and to have a blue or green iris. This causes a problem for these people as they become more prone to develop melanomas (like me for example) than people with more pigment in their skin. Otherwise, there is little difference between so called ethnic groups.

However, culture* is also a factor in how we view each other. For example, when Europeans began to travel in some numbers they perceived the Chinese and other East Asians as being white-skinned. that was when Europeans where surprised to find such a sophisticated civilisation in East Asia. But as Europeans entered into the era of aggressive empire building and came to the conclusion that they were "special' because they were subjecting people, who had more of the pigment called melanin in their skin (thus a darker skin) to their domination.

This induced in some European races a feeling of superiority. Think of Kipling's poem, The White Man's Burden. which (if you do not know) was Kipling's plea for the USA to continue its war on Filipino's who wanted to set up a independent republic. The USA did, of course, using similar 'burn and destroytactics that the US army had used against American Indians. Note the implicit racism in the words:

"Your new-caught, sullen peoples, Half devil and half child, Take up the White Man’s burden, etc

That world of the superiority of those with a skin with lesser pigmentation started to come to an end shortly after the USA's war of domination with the Philippines. Japan fought a short war with Imperial Russia and sank two of the Russian fleets, shocking many in Europe with its Eurocentric mindset

"Culture has various meanings in English. I usually use the word as referring to those things that can vary because of our background or choice. From a biological perspective we all must eat, and we eat somewhat similar things but from a cultural perspective those food products may be prepared and cooked in different ways,

Each year the China Global Television Network organises a Spring Festival Gala show which holds the record for the largest audience in the world. Its long, with many many acts from provincial areas of China. But this one act from Henan Province and the Henan Shaolin Tagou Martial Arts School was called "The Soul of Shaolin.

It featured traditional Chinese martial arts. The team, mainly composed of teenage boys included stunning precison moves featuring accuracy, strength and power in each of their moves.

QUOTE: "Medicare didn't destroy freedom. Scaremongering over socialism is both silly and dishonest. But it is politically effective."

It's effective, because the voters usually lack cognitive skills

A recent cartoon on the topic:

Quote: "Which is why the OP is asking the question in the first place."

I thought he asked because Mr Trump included an attack on socialism in his State of the Union address.

Quote (from resolute Bandicoot ) "

Hi Fulltimestudent, I'm also in Aus. and very aware of the political malaise, to distill it down, the type of people who seek to rule over us are also the type of people who are least suited to the task."

Do you think that that type of person is likely to appeal most to the average voter?

BTW, In a system where an organisation (political party) provides a slate of candidates to the voters is more aptly described as oligarchic. (Look for the definition of an oligarchy)

MR. Prager, as we may expect from his talk, is described as a 'social conservative.' Much of what he says does describe the attitudes of people today.

But, is socialism the only reason people are like he describes? I am, of course, unsure as to whether Mr. Prager has discussed other aspects of politics as a cause for furthering human selfishness.?

For instance, what about western democracy? I live in Sydney and here in this year of 2019, we will have two elections. In the first, an election for the state government of NSW, both sides are busy promising the world to us voters. The governing party, if it loses, will lose plum ministerial salaries and the ability to reward tts supporters. Isn't that a form of selfishness? The opposition, of course, hopes to gain those rewards. So are they not also driven by selfishness? Both parties have had their share of bad governmental mistakes while in office, so I'm not sure if either group can promise good government.

And, in about 4 months we will have a National election. Already the promises of more money are flowing in key electorates, That WILL get worse as the election nears.

So if Prager is correct that socialism promotes selfishness, I can wonder what he thinks about democracy promoting selfishness?

One definition for a communist state is this - Quote "a theory or system of social organization in which all property is owned by the community and each person contributes and receives according to their ability and needs."

Which sounds OK, but what if someone does not contribute with their full ability. Australia has a well-developed social welfare system and it's quite apparent that there are welfare 'bludgers' taking advantage of the system. And, even all those with jobs may not give their full energy and ability to the job.

Maybe some humans are geared to be lazy and thoughtless. An owner of a small business with about 12 employees tells me that he wouldn't mind paying the wages and add-ons he has to, if only all his workers would contribute their full energy, especially when he has tight deadlines to meet.

Aristotle, in his book called 'Politics,' thought that there was a 'natural slave class' born to be slaves.

Ancient Greece and Rome were 'slave' economies (and not always very efficient). The slaves effectively got bed and board from their owner who could use them however he wanted ro. Sometimes. I think of those people today who you would not employ, and also those families with 2 or 3 generations on welfare, and wonder if Aristotle was right. ( OK, i know we can pick holes in the theory).

And, I'll leave the Chinese experience for another post.

Quote: "Scary - only couple at top of the echelon have (and possess it ALL)"

That's terrible isn't it?

How did the USA get into that terrible position when its a democracy?

I read (quote again) that:

"Currently, the richest 1% hold about 38% of all privately held wealth in the United States. while thebottom 90% held 73.2% of all debt. According to The New York Times, the richest 1 percent in the United States now own more wealth than the bottom 90 percent."

Late yesterday there was a phone call from an old friend who I had not seen for some 5 years. Let's go out to dinner to celebrate the Spring festival. So we did. (More about that later). I should explain that my friend had just arrived that morning from China, had slept for a few hours and then called me. I was really happy to see him after such a long time. The reason for that is that he is simply extraordinarily busy flying around the world.

He went to school and university here in Australia for a total of about 10 years (in the late 1990/s and early 21st C). At the end of his studies, he was tempted to stay in Australia and asked my opinion, which was that if he would be satisfied with whatever career/work he could get, then try and stay here. But if he had a desire to get ahead, then go back to China, which even 15+ years ago was a clearly on a trajectory to greater economic activity. And, that is what my friend did. As he observed what was happening in China, he saw a niche. While most business in China was export oriented, he saw opportunities in importing goods to China. Now he has a busy import business, importing stuff from Australian the UK and the USA and in the process has become very well-off,

So back to last night, like many other Chinese he is well informed about the world, and said there is a Chinese seafood restaurant in Beverly Hills (Aust not the USA one). It gets written about in China (Its called Yummy's)., and is apparently popular with Chinese tourists. Even though he'd booked, we still had to wait for a table, and in the two hours we were there, as soon as a table emptied, new diners came in. (I was told that they had bookings through to about 3.30 am next day) I'll say this, the Chinese know how to celebrate, wine and food in abundance and cost no trouble. And the noise - could hardly have a conversation.

So that was my Spring festival celebration for the year of the pig. What did we eat? A huge plate of pippies (no-one in Aust. would eat them when I was a kid) and another huge plate of Crab, not sure of what sort of crab. never seen a white crab. especially after it was cooked. Chinese seem to love Australian seafood, you should see them crowding the Sydney fish markets.

And if you'd like to know more about famous pigs in Chinese culture, the China Global Television Network has this story:

The Pope's Surprising Admission - Priests and Bishops Have Kept Nun's as Sex Slaves

Channel 9 News (A nation wide Australian TV channel, plus the recently purchased Fairfax Newspapers) carried this story on the web news.It says in part:

Pope admits priests kept nuns in sexual slavery

"Pope Francis has for the first time publicly acknowledged the scandal of priests and bishops sexually abusing nuns and says he is committed to doing more to fight the problem. ... "It's not that everyone does this, but there have been priests and bishops who have," Francis added. "And I think that it's continuing because it's not like once you realise it that it stops. It continues. And for some time we've been working on it."

The issue has come to the fore amid the Catholic Church's overall reckoning with the sexual abuse of minors and the #MeToo-inspired acknowledgement that adults can be victims of abuse whenever there is an imbalance of power in a relationship. In the past year, The Associated Press and other media have reported on cases of abused nuns in India, Africa, Europe and South America — evidence that the problem is by no means limited to a certain geographic area."

So again the question can be asked, Where was Jesus when a nun was being raped by a priest of bishop> Did YHWH give a rat's arse about these women whn this was going on?

More to the point, do YHWH and jesus even exist? Or, is this giant religious organisation with millions of believers just another giant money making hoax.

jesus said, according to Matthew 28 verse 20, "And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.”"

But he was not there for these women victims of these criminals in religious garb, just as he has not been there ofr all the kids raped in that church and others (including the Jws.)

At this point in time and onward, how technology may send the human race back to the stone age...

by Bad_Wolf in

for thousands of years, the human race has slowly advanced by learning and mastering professions and grouping into cities allowing specializations.

these trades were passed directly and through books.

but everything until recently began with the ground up.

fulltimestudent

And then Bad_Wolf, there are other optimists. Of course, this university may be just touting for busines (i.e. more students) but if sincere see a different future - but clearly not for anyone disinclined to study. But, I'm imagining that it will be difficult to program a machine to wash many different types/sizes of windows. But then, i've jusst been reminded future machines may be able to look at window and program itself to wash it clean... so there go the window washing jobs also.
