Why do people take this fat fuck seriously again? I'm reading his anti-eugenics book, supposedly the best "deboonking" of eugenics there is, and all his arguments boil down to

It would improve the quality of the human species. Chesterton doesn't actually engage with the scientific arguments of his day, just some babble about the natural order.
The basic eugenic premise is that some people should have more children than others, and that society should encourage those people to have children while disincentivizing (and depending on who you ask, completely sterilize) others.
There is not a single argument that Chesterton gives that attacks these ideas on their practical merit. Just ethical pearl-clutching.
>>
At least someone like Taleb, for all his faults, at least tries to make an actual argument. Saying for example that if we artificially focus on certain traits (intelligence for example) we could theoretically breed out of existence other traits that are desirable for reasons we aren't fully aware of yet, therefore it's best if we let natural selection and sexual selection do its natural job instead of artificially influencing it. Whether that argument is sound or not, at least it appeals to something more real than "it would hurt my feelings"
All such arguments are absent from Chesterton, the great genius

>>23316014
He’s not even the best that English speaking Catholics got.

Eugenics seems like a very sound compromise between anti-natalists and normal people. The human race continues to exist, but people won’t be born with genetic conditions that make life unbearable, far less people will be born into poverty, crime reduced, etc.

People like to read criticism on the current state of things, but only when it does not lay concrete frameworks for action and change. So they believe in catholic greenpill BS instead of reading Marx.

It's amazing to me that in the 21st century there is still a debate as to whether or not we should abort babies with Down syndrome. Most of the pro-eugenics of the 19th/20th century actually aren't cold-blooded Machiavellian proto-Hitlers but they base all their arguments on compassion for the human condition and the reduction of suffering. It's mankind's pride and ego that insists on making the choice for others to live with their genetic condition no matter what. We could have eradicated trisomy-21 by now

lol just because I use the words "improve" and "should" doesn't mean I'm making an ethical argument.
The eugenic position is that we can improve society, for example eradicate crime, by sterilizing the top 1% of violent criminals. The idea being that the subsequent generations become gradually less violent.
You can oppose this position with scientific arguments: saying why it won't work.
Chesterton doesn't do this, he simply says: we shouldn't do it, because my feelings.

I disagree, you can practice eugenics to prevent autism or other kinds of physical deformation. I support Eugenics as a form of medicine, not as /pol/tard science fiction LARP

What Chesterton is saying, and what the Catholic Church sees is the moral concern that arises when the means used for healing or prevention involve actions that are contrary to the inherent dignity of the human person — meaning producing desired traits by eliminate undesirable traits. Which is subjective. This will often will turn into discriminatory practices such as selective breeding or even the elimination of certain individuals deemed unfit. You would be creating artificial people tampered by humans (which is bad), because their traits will likely psychopathic.

A business man might want a son who’s less susceptible to the concern of others so they lower their empathy, shit like that. And people will do it, and this It’s demeans the worth of people.

in reality the first step would be sterilizing violent criminals, probably even repeat offenders, and aborting embryos with debilitating genetic defects. Maybe even, in our wildest dreams, some state-sponsorship for geniuses and other high achievers to incentivize baby-making such as tax breaks or even financial support outright. Not the ridiculous strawman you people always make it
>>
>>23316081
If you're looking to contemporary voices that focus on laying "concrete frameworks for action and change", religious radicals (on either left or right) are going to be vastly more helpful than plenty of Marxists.

Someone who reads Chesterton and Leonardo Boff and Jean-Luc Marion and von Balthasar and Rahner and Lossky and Zizioulas and Moltmann and engages in the actual movement of the Church is probably going to gain more traction towards living a transformative and active life than someone who reads Luxemburg and Lenin and Trotsky and Che and Sankara and Marcuse and engages in the actual movement of left wing activism. And this is coming from someone who is a student of all of the above and engages in both communities.

This is actually a sound argument from a compassionate point of view.
Male virgins are obviously suffering from their lack of companionship while also possibly inflicting suffering on others by consuming resources that should be better of being employed to sustain the descendants of better adapted and sexually successful humans. I imagine compassionate eugenicists could contemplate euthanasia as a mean to remove these individuals.

Actual brainlet. Just because you don't want to call it one doesn't mean that you're not making an ethical appeal. You're making the assumption that "improving the race" (implying that there's some sort of standard of "improvement" you're appealimg to that goes beyond your personal preference to increase ability and reduce suffering) is in some sort of ethically privileged position that doesn't need to justify itself. You can't get an ought from an is. There's no scientific, objective reason to prefer function over dysfunction. That's your ethical judgement.

Already a total bugman objective. I think the poster above that turned it on its head about massacring incels already highlight things enough, especially since it's now 40% of the male population.

Most Eugenists are Euphemists. I mean merely that short words startle them, while long words soothe them. And they are utterly incapable of translating the one into the other, however obviously they mean the same thing. Say to them ‘The persuasive and even coercive powers of the citizen should enable him to make sure that the burden of longevity in the previous generation does not become disproportionate and intolerable, especially to the females’; say this to them and they will sway slightly to and fro like babies sent to sleep in cradles. Say to them ‘Murder your mother,’ and they sit up quite suddenly. Yet the two sentences, in cold logic, are exactly the same.

how is it not obvious? you sterilize the most violent top 1% of criminals and you incentivize men like Dolph Lundgren (handsome multilingual intelligent socially savvy men) to have as much children as possible with as many attractive women as possible. You do the same for genius outliers in others fields. Honestly you shouldn't even have to burden them with being an actual father, although that would obviously be optimal, but better to have another fatherless 140 IQ genius in the world than no offspring at all. Imagine if Newton fathered 50 children instead of dying a virgin

It’s true that those in the popular religious life will help their communities more than those in niche radical groups. However, does this not seem like some transaction of short and long term gain in term of sociological and political progress? The obvious is Marx’s claims on religion and the dulling of feelings of alienation that might spark revolution, which is to say actual political progress.
Further, it seems dishonest to pick one on the likelihood of outcome. Belief obviously matters greatly to the religious so subordinating it to political gain seems to me to be doomed to fail because of the very nature of faith. Would it not be better to pick the “movement” that one believes to be the truth and most appropriately work towards that end? Certainly, and socialist who volunteers at a soup kitchen can do just as much as a Christian who does comparably.
And continuing on truth, these truths seem irreconcilable. Marx’s Materialism contradicts the character of God in the Bible and the absolutes inherent to his being. I struggle to see a possibility that allows the two to be complete and compatible even in popular beliefs such as Liberation Theology or Distributivism.

What's frustrating about Christians is that they never acknowledge how, in reality, religiosity increases with high infant mortality, and it's general comfort and longevity that's made people irreligious and decadent.
Prior to the industrial revolution, Christianity adaptive because the most fit and mentally healthy had the most surviving offspring (weirdos became monks).
Christians just want society to collapse so we can return to Darwinian high infant mortality conditions by any means necessary. That's when the theocracy is established. This is why they're "against eugenics."
It would be easier if they'd just admit this instead of all the bad faith arguments. As long as it's God taking the babies rather than modern medicine, Christians are fine with it. They celebrate it. It's a child sacrifice death cult in a way.

And who exactly is to decide who is and is not fit to procreate and what the metrics are? Everyone assumes it would be them, and that any program would follow their own ideals but in the end any eugenics program is simply going to stack insane amounts of bodies, generate no net gains and only empower the one group of people who should never ever have power: those who want it the most.

Nowadays you could just pay guys like Dolph Lundgren for their sperm. Pay him handsomely. In America this type of thing is already happening where parents can select donor sperm and filter for height, IQ, uni degrees, etc. In Europe it's largely illegal.

No one is arguing for this shit, Chesterton just made up an imaginary argument in his head and thought he was really clever when he came up with an overly verbose way of saying "kill your mother". If he was actually smart he'd have quoted an actual eugenicist who actually used overly verbose language to argue for something very inhumane, and do his rhetorical trick on a real life example.

Do you think most women wouldn't feel "sexual passion" if they were in a room with Dolph Lundgren? The only difference is that we are not limited by Dolph Lundgren's physical constraints and time to impregnate lots of women. You can also select the women for general physical attractiveness, intelligence etc.
Imagine putting Dolph in a room with 20 college educated, fertile, attractive women. Do you think this would be a passionless medical procedure?

having 140 iq doesn't make you a genius and also doesn't mean you are going to contribute anything positive to society
in fact having a high iq person be born in impoverished conditions almost guarantees they'll become criminals or start lashing out, since they'll understand how fucked they are
it's like the perfect breeding ground for manipulative psychos who feel that it's ok to break every rule and destroy everyone else because they were born in shitty conditions and they had to make it all by themselves too, so c'est la vie, it doesn't matter if they destroy a thousand people in the process to become top dog
the other alternative to this is that those high iq people just become detached and start indulging alcohol/drugs and entertaining all sorts of antisocial and nihilistic ideas
there's a reason spartans culled helots of the most intelligent among them, a truly smart person born in terrible conditions either stops caring or becomes totally cuthroat, the chances of them becoming well-adjusted, hardworking, empathetic and moral people are so low it's basically not worth taking seriously

there is not a single reason listed in this article why eugenics wouldn't work, except the vague statement that
>Eugenicists believed in a prejudiced and incorrect understanding of Mendelian genetics that claimed abstract human qualities (e.g., intelligence and social behaviors) were inherited in a simple fashion.
without further elaborating why exactly they are wrong. They also call eugenics an "immoral" theory. A scientific theory cannot be immoral. It's true or untrue. This is the best you people have to offer?
>>
>>23319478
it is pseudoscience, it's just retarded
>smart
according to what? iq tests? so you want a collapsing society of redditors who all wanna be in the managerial class? or do you expect you'd be sending those smart people to be working as plumbers?
only a complete retard with no knowledge of history or how the world works would ever say shit like this. an overabudance of elites doesn't lead to your glorious marxist utopia where intelligent people suddenly usher in endless pleasure and comfort, it leads to the exact opposite, factionalism and collapse
the only reason society functions generally is because there's enough retards being tricked by some ideology or other into accepting their shitty life conditions and doing the labor nobody else wants
you have no actual argument to show that more smart people means a better world because, again, history goes against you, as do our current times. there are more high iq people alive today than at any point in history, yet we are barely making a fraction of the progress just a few smart people were making at the turn of the 19th century
you don't need a lot of smart people, you need a stable and well-governed system, and that by definition necessitates a lot of retards (low iq, low income) that are willing to accept doing the dirty work to keep it going

Literally solves no actual problems that can't be better solved through other means. Immigration and crime are sociological problems.

>>
>>23319530
Immigration and crime destroy social cohesion more than designer babies ever could. Millions of couples use donor sperm worldwide. Why not give them access to the best genes while we're at it? It already happens in the sense that sperm donors can't have genetic diseases etc. All I propose is we go one step further and add other qualifications such as high IQ, physical attractiveness, and whatever other traits that would indicate quality offspring.

>>
>>23319539
>if you are smart and hot you end up in a better position in life and have enough funds to raise 20 kids if you'd like
It's precisely the smart and hot people who quit at 2 kids, maybe 4 if they're particularly rich, because they're very conscientious about not having children in suboptimal conditions ("I'll wait until I'm worth $1million to start a family") while Nigerians are having 8 kids per woman because they just don't care.

DiCaprio has all the incentives in the world and unlimited access to women, and yet he has no children.
What are you going to do if all these "outstanding specimens" don't want to reproduce regardless of incentives? Are you going to milk them out at gun point?
>>
Lots of guys who should have a small army of sons (smart, intelligent, rich, attractive) don't have as many children as they should (or could, or even want) because they don't want to dilute both their time and energy and fortune (passing it down to 10 children is obviously worse for the family fortune than passing it down to one or two sons). You could solve this by incentivizing them to donate their sperm. This is not a radical proposal at all.
>they already can do this if they want
Yes, and it should be more advertised for by governments worldwide and there should be guaranteed protections when it comes to child support etc.

>>
>>23319581
What? Our current climate isn't set up for guys having 10 children even if they're extremely rich. That's still dividing the family fortune among 10 descendants. All the riches gone within 1 generation. Let alone if each of those 10 descendants has 10 more kids. If we still lived under primogeniture (and polygamy) then for sure you'd see billionaires with 4 wives and 20 children. The current socio-political order disincentives doing so, it's obvious why these rich people aren't having a boatload of children.

Because physical attractiveness is by itself an indicator of good genes. By definition almost. High IQ by itself, not so much. It's possible that if you just focus on high IQ and high IQ alone, you proliferate certain traits that end up being dysgenic as a whole. Think of the typical frail nerd. You want the combination of the stereotypical jock with the stereotypical nerd. The first for the physical fitness, the latter for the mental ability. Some humans possess both.

>How? What are these "good genes" you speak of and what makes them inherently good?
We're not entirely sure yet, which is exactly why we need to consider the "natural" attraction of humans for each other. Evolution seems to favor physical attractiveness so more likely than not it serves a purpose to keep the species alive. But you're obviously not arguing in good faith here. You're basically asking "why would attractiveness imply desirable genes" as if the answer isn't self-evident. Physical attractiveness is a sign of physical health.

BIG trouble.
There was an analysis of Scottish gifted programs that was later extended to American and Austrlian gifted programs.
Intelligence researcher Deborah Ruf summarizes it and I'll boil it down.
If you ask teachers - highly educated, highly trained teachers - to identify "above average intelligence" students they fail.
Miserably.
In the absence of proctored IQ tests gifted programs are packed full of students with an average IQ of 102BUt! They are eager to please so teachers like them.
So, as Ruf writes later with tons of notes, once you tell teachers this and they adjust the program what happens?
Things get worse!
Now the "highly educated education experts" switch to TV/Movie stereotypes about high IQ and look for students that act like extras on the Big Bang Theory. Then gifted programs are an average IQ of 95 and are packed with students with social anxiety, depression, and ASD.
tl.dr; experts SUCK at identifying geniuses.

You're a profoundly stupid and pedantic individual. Acting as if there's just no way to tell an ugly person from a beautiful person.

You read on Wikipedia once that evolution has no teleological end-goal and now you think everyone makes the same mistake as you did. In fact, evolution does "tend towards" some things. For example, people progressively get taller because of sexual selection: women prefer tall men over shorter ones. Therefore "evolution favors" tall men.

Hate is a fear, and fear is rot
That cankers root and fruit alike,
Fight cleanly then, hate not, fear not,
Strike with no madness when you strike.
Fever and fear distract the world,
But calm be you though madmen shout,
Through blazing fires of battle hurled,
Hate not, strike, fear not, stare Death out!

Are you fucking stupid? People are subjectively attracted to each other for evolutionary reasons. If you're going to do eugenics you need to find a balance between letting nature run its course and also trying to steer it into a direction that would promote a healthy civilization. That's why I say physical attractiveness AND high IQ. You don't want to disrupt the natural instinct of the species too much, hence you pick attractive people that would get laid regardless, you add an IQ requirement, and you allow these people to have disproportionally many children. It's really not as radical a proposal as you'd think. Very common sense.

Economic factors mostly. Most people say they'd have more children, or would've started sooner, if they had more money. It's because Europeans tend to be very conscientious about it and want to do right by their children. Other populations don't care so much and just fuck away. It's a cursed blessing.

So does evolution set the normative pressure to be attractive, strong, dominant, etc., or is it these traits and the desire for these traits which determine evolution?

Is it loved because it evolved to be loved, or did it evolve because it is intrinsically lovable?
>>
>>23320064
NTA but what's the controversy here? Of course attractiveness is a sign of physical health - your genetics, diet and lifestyle contribute to every aspect of physical development (animal protein for height, vitamin A for good skin, K2 for prominent jawline). What is healthy looks naturally beautiful to us.
>>
>>23320078
In the normal course of nature certain traits are favored over others, ostensibly because they have evolved to be more competitive than other traits. As self-conscious humans we have become aware of this process and we have the technological means to interfere with it. But it would be unwise to interfere with it too much, so we look for a balance between letting nature take its course unimpeded and introducing new traits.
We simply don't have the full picture of why some traits are selected for others not, and there is a danger in interfering too much and thereby wiping out beneficials traits, or proliferating disadvantageous traits.
A society entirely consisting of physically frail Einsteins would probably be dysgenic. And a society of dumb but hot brutish cavemen wouldn't produce civilization. So we interfere just a little bit and see what happens. Find a medium between the natural way, and the artificial man-made way.

>>
>>23320090
All I'm saying is these traits determine evolution from the inside. Women are not attracted to strong, dominant men because there is (or used to be) a preponderance of strong, dominant men. They are attracted to strength and dominance because it is intrinsically attractive - at least to the kinds of organisms we are. Evolution is steered from the inside, subjectively, inwardly, phenomenologically.

I firmly believe that attractive people don't exist so "evolution" can facilitate sexual reproduction, it is sexuality which exists because there are attractive people

You can have the testosterone levels of a 80 year old man and still be marked "healthy" because of the way the medical system calculates healthiness, based on meeting certain minimums and nothing beyond that. In the same way some fat people can still get all the markers of physical health despite being, well, fat.
Health is not a binary condition where you're either healthy or not. It's a spectrum and we should seek to make as many people as healthy as possible, not just chase the bare minimum.

It certainly runs on the same premises. Negative utilitarianism or whatever you call it. Eugenics is the light version of antinatalism in the sense that the expected-quality-of-life argument is not so drastic as to condemn all reproduction but only of part of humanity. It has a worse reputation because some historical movements did use coercive measure to force it in the rather recent past whereas nothing close to antinatalism has been part of the policy of any power since the Cathar heretics.
I'm not sure about tying it to direction politics, most eugenics was left wing when it was in vogue.
>>
From 'The Catholic Encyclopedia' (1914):

>The root difference between Catholic teaching and that of modern eugenics is that the one places the final end of man in eternal life, whilst the other places it in civic worth. The effectual difference is that the Church makes bodily and mental culture subservient to morality, whilst modern eugenics makes morality subservient to bodily and mental culture. In dealing with racial poisons, the Church provides the most radical remedies. Against alcohol she sets the virtue of temperance, against white-lead the virtue of justice, against venereal disease the virtue of purity. She provides for proper selection in marriage by setting impediments against unworthy marriages. The spirit life of the married pair and of the children is protected by the prohibition of mixed marriages. The proclamation of banns protects the parties against possible fraud or mistake. The requirement of consent of parents tends to promote prudent marriages. The impediment of a previous engagement unreleased is a safeguard against rash promises and heartless breach of promise. The impediments of consanguinity and affinity are universally acknowledged to have a great eugenic value. Moreover, since the most necessary and most difficult eugenic reforms consist in the control of the sex appetite, the practice of celibacy is an important factor in race culture. It is the standing example of a Divinely aided will holding the sensual passion in check.

>The following, however, may be taken to be the prevalent teaching of Catholic theologians and physicians. Vasectomy or ligature of the Fallopian tubes is no remedy against concupiscence; and even if it were, mutilation could not be permitted as a means of avoiding temptation. The operation would open the door to immoral practices which would constitute a worse evil than the one avoided. Being in itself slight and almost painless, it would be useless as a punishment for criminals or as a deterrent for others. If the principle were admitted it would encourage the abuse of matrimonial relations. The welfare of the State, if seriously threatened by the degenerate, could be better protected by segregation. Therefore the operation is not permissible, except as a necessary means to bodily health, and consequently except for this necessity may not be performed even with the patient's consent. The Church has never regarded the marriage of degenerates as unlawful in itself: they cannot be deprived of their right without a grave reason. Even eugenists like Dr. Saleeby and Dr. Havelock Ellis disapprove of compulsory surgery. As for compulsory segregation it seems to be both right and good, provided that all due safeguards are taken in respect of the grades of feebleness. The spirit of the Church is to extend rather than curtail the freedom of the individual. The Catholic conscience guards against the State being unduly exalted at the expense of the family.

Not remotely surprised by that. It's the nature of hypergamy. In periods of abundance women are obviously going to be choosier. I just don't think individual women should have 100% of the power. A council of elderly matchmaking women would be better but obviously that's harder to do at scale, and probably inhumane. Also, it's not as though Plato's Republic is actually possible in reality, it's only a matter of steering between Scylla and Charybdis.

Undergrad students have average IQs today (100IQ being the normalized mean). That means an undergrad degree today is indicative of only median IQ, whereas it was indicative of a moderately higher than average IQ in the 1960s, when having a diploma meant something compared to the general population and was a good indirect indicator, which it isn't anymore today.
It's been a while that diplomas haven't been even a merely decent proxy for comparative intelligence. Only a few majors like mathematics can still be used this way.

Of, to put it another way, both high-end corporations like Lockheed-Martin as well as the US Military, who don't give a damn about anything but profits/results, have decades of internal analytics proving IQ is real and that it is very, very predictive.
Like I said above, I used to work at a firm that did IQ and skills testing and worked with high IQ individuals. the US military data on G-factor and performance is frickin' scary accurate.
The one that stands out was a young woman we tested my first week on the job. She wanted to be a military intelligence linguist and analyst. her score on the language learning aptitude test were too low to qualify and her G-factor was marginal but the army was short on recruiting and sent her to us. She got "only" a 130 IQ on the test.
The military liaison said
>"We will take her on hope, but the number say she'll fail out on the 5th or 6th week with a score of 62%-68%"

Because we breed them for a specific purpose, not for general health, and so we accept some health drawbacks if that means they are noticeable better at doing said task.

By your own argument, you just advocated the total health and intellectual decay of a nation because to do otherwise would “stack bodies” . If you are going to apply the slippery slope to his side then you should apply it to your own as well. If you do so, he is winning, so considering that the evidence of an anti eugenic mindset is given ample example in the western world, which can no longer maintain its complex systems and is witnessing a massive decline in literacy and birthrate. Meanwhile on his end, the last group that promoted eugenics was germany, and they were one of the most successful nations in the world while doing so, the other example being current china which is overtaking the west. Seems to me like those who fail to adopt some form of eugenics (“moral” or otherwise” are simply resigning themselves to the waste-bin of stupidity and weakness, to be taken as a slave race by whatever power was not crippled by such an expression of cosmopolitan decadence.

>>23319911
Of course he fails to consider that the potential to entertain the concept of eugenics may have a correspondence with intelligence.

Also there is a failure in this thread to consider that eugenic policy does not need to have a “negative” end on it, only the encouragement of the reproduction of the especially healthy, or sharp minded individuals, proving their worth through civilizational contributions or potentially aptitude tests.

So you immediately proceed to character assassination, Fail to recognize that almost all creature in nature practice some form of eugenics (that being the true source of it of course) not to mention agrarian techniques going back as far as human history. Want to actually learn something ? Go read Konrad Lorenz books, most specifically “ON AGGRESSION”.

Of course, you are unaware of “judea declares war on germany” happening for before any other declaration of war, specifically because the industrialization within germany was set to dethrone the prize host of rothschild sabbateans at the time in europe (Britain) , so the cluster of franctional reserve banks these orasites had control of was used to squeeze nations all over the world which not only didnt want to get involved in a war against germany, but wouldnt have won without the zionist lobby controlling them as a puppet army. Of course after the fact the benevolent americans decided to genocide some 900k germans under eisenhower at the behest of the spiteful rothschild who orchestrated this entire conflict.

Ironic you would advocate my sterilization, are you perhaps one of these special people who calls for global centralization under a chosen race?
I wish for the total abolition of subjugation, and i have thoroughly outlined why i believe that the utilization of eugenics in a form excluding sterilization and other “negative” means is required to achieve that.

Stanford, wasnt replicated due to concerns with human rights, other similar experiments have been conducted under the investigation of mans will to subjugate, with similar conclusions. (Labcoat experiment)

Likely this wouldnt be able to come about until some severe social downturn

The average iq of the leadership of germany under hitler had an IQ of approximately 140, under the matrix that they were evil personified, it is still a strong reason to implement eugenics in some form upon ones own nation to ward off that type of threat which inevitably will rise again some day.

Of course , but your military must posess sufficient might so as to oppose it, otherwise your entire moral framework gets stomped out by someone who doesnt limit themselves to the same .

Guess what, it started anyway. Are you really naive enough to believe the whole world will just come together and say “no thanks” ?

It was social engineering put in place by eugenicists, to promote eugenics and the main arguments in favour of keeping it nearly always involve eugenics (what if they're going to be disabled, what if the parents can't take care of it) and it disproportionately effects those who you would seem to want less of in the first place (blacks, the poor, the unintelligent). The very fact you're trying to distance yourself from literally the most widespread, effective and popular application of your belief system is very telling.

Eugenics as a concept and eugenics as was attempted to be implemented by anglozionist supremacists are two different things. Eugenics as a concept is when two healthy memebers of any species are bred together to increase or at least maintain health of the species, literally every animal attempts to practice this in some form unless they are planning on going extinct ( read lorenz pertaining to tail feather extensions) . The practice of creating a slave race was implemented due to international pirates profiting off mass industrialization and bastardizing a sacred natural process to alter the course of humanity to their own benefit, i advocate taking control BACK from them and giving it to the world to forever rid themselves of this pirate tyranny. ( for the record the jewish people need to ride themselves of those masters as well and i dont advocate extermination of the jewish people despite their hostile leadership)

The Nazis were clearly terrible and went awfully awry. (I know, I should gb2 >>>/Reddit/ and all that etc.) But there’s actually some mindblowing history and ethnic tensions behind it. I don’t at all say this justified programs like targeted extermination of undesirables, megalomaniacal expansion throughout Europe and dreams of world domination using Europe as a base, and war crimes (which occurred on both sides, by the way, from the firebombing of Dresden to the Nazis’ bombing of civilians in Great Britain).

But Germany was economically and politically humiliated and punished after WWI with the Versailles Treaty imposing strenuous reparations on them, handicapping/amputating their military and arms production (disarming Germany), and putting pretty much the entire sole blame of the war on Germany. Critics of the treaty in its day noted how it clearly wasn’t very amenable to peace, would cripple Germany’s economy, and foster resentment against the Allies.

This is combined with real, strange, complex and interesting historical and socioeconomic factors that made Jews a leading class in the mercantile and financial/banking classes of Europe for quite a while. (Being allowed to be bankers and lend money at interest [usury] while this was prohibited for Catholics, as well as them often being pushed out from trades and the guilds that offered admission into and training for these keeping Jews out). It’s not also not entirely unlikely that Ashkenazi Jews actually have genetic factors (possibly from close inbreeding over long centuries that also favored the more intelligent Jews as pillars of their community being hyper-literate scholars of their tradition, and this often being pushed to kids from a young age) that made them prominent in several industries that use more brain-power than manual labor, along with some good ol’ nepotism, of course. So an interesting historical trend happened leading to the creation of so-called “Jewish international finance”, probably one of the most famous paragons of whom are the Rothschilds. These wealthy financiers sort of incestuously formed close business and banking ties with each other, including even through detailed intricate intermarriages, somewhat like old European monarchs marrying children of theirs to the others’ royalty to form close ties to each other and as political maneuvering for peace and cooperation between the respective countries they ruled. Anyway, throughout the (intricate, detailed, often rather dull but sometimes very interesting, as history is) history of this, you see the Rothschilds intertwining in this way with other families like Ashkenazi Jewish banking families like the Warburgs, Kuhns, Loebs, Goldmans, Sachs, Bronfmans, to more obscure ones like the Bischoffsheims, Pereires, Seligmans, Lazards, or at least these other families acting in similar ways and carving out their own niche in “international Jewish finance”, including through the practice

of “several brothers of a firm establish[ing] branches in the different financial centres” to spread out their reach through different major cities of different countries, diversifying their holdings, influence, power, and profit. Hence leading to the stereotype of the “international Jew”, including as one who formed close ties with the leading monarchies and leaders (like the close ties of the Rothschilds with the Anglo nobility, monarchy, and government for at least some century or two now, going back at least to (sometimes semi-legendary) accounts of their meddling with the Napoleonic wars, financing the British against Napoleon, and the massive profit Nathan Meyer Rothschild made off the Battle of Waterloo). Although clearly, some average Jewish shopkeeper isn’t on the level of these guys, it still created this image/caricature, sometimes perhaps valid, of wealthy influential Jews as secretive wirepullers behind banking, the politics of nations, and even wars. This included Zionism, which went back way before WW2/the Holocaust/the official establishment of Israel as a state, and which many of these Jewish banking dynasties had ties to. For instance, the Balfour declaration in the time of WWI, sent by Britain’s Foreign Secretary Lord Arthur Balfour to Lord Lionel Walter Rothschild, then leader of the British Jewish community and high in the Zionist movement, in support of the establishment of a Jewish state in Palestine. And this supposedly to gain Jewish support internationally for Britain in the war, including from the large Jewish population in Russia, and the Jews in Germany (so sowing dissension in Germany from the inside through appealing to their Jewish population) along with Rothschild support, of course. And two of Wilson’s closest advisors, Louis Brandeis and Felix Frankfurter, were avid Zionist, so this would further get American-Jewish support. Another Jewish titan supporting Wilson as he entered America into WWI against the Germans was none other than Bernard Baruch. And I finally even believe there is some information that’s seemingly been scrubbed off the Internet of one of the then-Rothschilds, Baron something, I think, being an influential figure in the Versailles treaty post-WWI (that again crippled the defeated Germany).

So mixtures of fact and theory/caricature/stereotype were created of a powerful interlocked Jewish cabal that had stabbed Germany in the back, getting high and close to the levers of power of the Anglo and American worlds and by extension the European world. Of course, in an ugly manner, this was extended to scapegoat all Jews.

There is also the real yet controversial phenomenon of Jews responding to antisemitism or persecution through becoming rather ethnocentric. Here is one infamous little example of this in 1924: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/You_Gentiles
