This must be why Jewish people never suffered pogroms, and the state of Israel is definitely not surrounded by enemies.Rob wrote:Smart Jewish people don't seem to think so (ignoring the "racism" nonsense - funny the scare quotes for the other two, though), and I'm inclined to agree with them.Ed Oscuro wrote:Racism, "tribalism," or "group preference" are all losing strategies in the long run,
Obviously it wasn't by choice in the past. Since you need me to do your thinking for you: Jews in old Europe intermarried when they could, like any other peoples. The state of Israel, on the other hand, is expressly a religious state, which causes no end of troubles. (Please don't concern troll for the state of Israel.)
So basically your argument is that black people are inbred. Cool beansIt's like you're going through the checklist of ridiculous arguments. The problems with inbreeding, medical and otherwise, are in the places we're told are demographically improving us by their forcible addition. Look at a Somali and then look at another Somali. And then look at tiny, isolated Iceland to see how much Europe and any place European needs the genetic contributions of Somalia.
Culture, not race. Or are you dead set against pizza and tacos, or merely Italian and Hispanic immigrants? What era of American history did you want to return to? The 50s, the Victorian era, Puritanism? The Dust Bowl? This is the most laughable thing about the happy culture warriors who pretend that everything was fine and dandy, and then suddenly damn foreigners! appeared to louse it up. It's not like Elvis was designed to steal rock from the blacks. And then there's Post Malone, epitome of white culture, I guess.It's the job of the government to serve the people, not to change the composition of the people to serve the government.and like I said, it's the job of people to keep their culture alive, not the government.
It is endlessly fascinating that the people at the top of the Republican "pyramid scheme" push constant growth so hard - something that you do need an ever-expanding population (and the fiction of limitless resources) to achieve.
I don't disagree with Zen on this particular one, btw. BryanM wrote, in a past year, about Marx's parable of the penny turning into a gold sphere by the magic of interest. So the question really is why you would think Richie Rich, leader of the Republican Party, feeds you with racism on one hand, while promoting an economic system that loots the land and its people, on the other.
