>Nationalism? Fuck that shit nigga.
>Scientific racism though? Hell yeah.

If you actually read him he asserts that high cognitive intelligence only develops for certain environments/conditions as a survival mechanism, and is a double edged sword in that it can cause the individual to act contrary to The Will. In fact he classifies true genius as in partial rebellion to The Will, where high intelligence causes the man to retreat from early responsibilities towards mental pleasures. Hence why genius is often alone, unrecognized and sterile.

Black Africans are considered to be closer to the Platonic form of humanity because they are more grounded directly in the will, reacting the world viscerally. He believes all races have a natural inclination to want to return to that state and are drawn to blacks, and if selective pressures are eased will do so. He was very similar to Gobineau in that regard, just coming at it from a different perspective.

He's not really making a total value judgement that white is better than black, or that intelligence is better than stupidity. He rightfully recognizes nationalism as the psychological cope that it is, but also recognizes racial differences.

Nationalism is for low IQ proles and football hooligans. Racism is a scientific fact. There is no association between the two.

So Schopenhauer was kweenpilled?
>>
>>25298672
Schopenhauer's opposition to nationalism is generally exaggerated. His opinion on the virtues of the German language and culture would make him appear a virulently chauvinist in the modern world. When all is said and done, he was proud to be speaking and writing in the language of Kant and Goethe. Schopenhauer was writing in a world where everyone was a nationalist.
>>
>>25298694
He actually was, some of his earlier writings promoted miscegenation and mixing. And praised the Indians for being a mixed people.

>>25298697
It really depends and it varies. In some essays like his one on noise he comes across as snobbish in how he talks about poors. I feel it's bad taste for him to complain about the noise of a working guy whipping his horse outside his window, when Schopenhauer himself just inherited a massive pile of wealth.

But he also constantly assglazed the Hindus at every opportunity and is somewhat sympathetic when writing about foreign people. By the standards of his time he was pretty non-eurocentric. He wasn't like he was like modern leftists who just have a hatred of his own people, he dismissed Islam as being slop below even Christianity while loving the Hindus, so he had a criteria he based things on.
>>
>>25298697
He argued in favour of the resurrection of Latin as an academic lingua franca and said the introduction of national literatures was damaging to the intellectual culture of Europe.
>>
>>25298705
His jeet worship aged really badly. You just know if he were alive today he'd hate jeets for smelling and push one of them down the stairs
>>
>>25298709
I haven't read enough Hindu stuff to really comment on the accuracy of his assglazing, but I've heard second hand that the Europeans at the time had a nasty habit of cherrypicking the few Hindu texts they liked and ignoring the rest, not focusing on how it was practiced. The Upanishads being one such text. And for decades, centuries now, Europeans have been projecting their own desires for spiritualism onto a foreign people. The 1970s New age spiritualism shit was the same thing. Even as recently as that Dilbert TV show they depicted the token Indian as spiritualistic, naive and just above the world.

Smartphones are blessing in that they've completely shattered this illusion.

Stop basing an entire culture's legacy on emergent problems brought about through various factors that has nothing to do with the original culture in the 21st century, retard.

India has always been a disgusting shithole of a country. Back then it was a toilet but now it's an overflowing cesspool spilling jeets everywhere.

That's quite enough out of you tonight, jidf.

The hostility toward nationalism never amounts to betrayal of the state, unless it's in favor of another state or even a corporation. Nationalistic and tribalistic ethos would at least tie loyalty towards a group of millions; the communist has always envied this unity, although the true communists are tribalistic to the maximum, skin to a comic book villain depiction of evil racist; however, this is because they are jews and are born from evil. Communism is merely a way to gain power over the key institutions and a total dehumanization of the opponents of their sick rule.
The German national socialism was not a coping mechanism, it was a solution to most issues plaguing humanity.
>debt as a control mechanism
>corruption
>hatred of one's neighbors
>total economic enslavement
>moral decay
Ugliness reveals it all. No one is as ugly as the jew.

Nothing about this is particularly scientific, or necessarily racism

Well why don't foreigners do it back to us? They scurred or something?

Both are retarded.
Cultural homogeneity is what is important in order for people to live in relative harmony.
A negro and a white man who have the same culture and religious background, will probably get along. A white westerner can get along with an open minded japanese or chinese. But put two white men, one islamic (from Chechnya for example), the other christian, and there is a very small chance that they'll become very good friends. Same even goes for arabs, one muslim, the other christian. They will not get along.
