It's been brought to my attention that apparently a lot of science and theory was behind the racial politics of the Nazi Germany. An example of this is Count de Gobineau's essay on the Inequality of the Human Races, which seems to have had great influence in particular on Richard Wagner (Cosima wrote to Gobineau that "My husband is quite at your service, always reading The Races when he is not at work with the staging.")

Has anyone read de Gobineau or other similar authors? Political inclinations aside, is there any merit to their arguments?

>> No.16480035

Nazis didn’t believe in race realism in the American sense. For example they thought white Eastern Europeans and Baltic people were inferior, whereas the American race realist groups them all as “white”

The American race realists have more nuanced views than that. I don't mean neonazis, who are delusional, but the guys who research IQ and other behavioral traits. It's true that people like Rushton made very broad categories like 'white', 'east asian', 'black' because he wanted to note what he saw as very general trends, but there has been plenty of more specific research since then.

The actual original Nazis were quite deluded about the reality of the Aryan(Indo-European) stock and its presence in Slavs vs Germanics, they pretty much just made shit up, and it was obviously motivated by a desire to conquer those countries to expand the German empire.

>Far from being anti-Slavic, the reader will see that the SS Head Office publication portrayed Russians as victims of Communism—and then specifically blamed Jews as being behind Communism, and, ideologically speaking, inheritors of a far older, far eastern attack on Europe which had started with Genghis Khan and the Mongols.

>Nowhere in the SS book are the Slavic people denigrated, and in fact many of the traditional Slavic nations are mentioned in text and photograph as being part of the greater European family. European nations specifically mentioned in this book include Portugal, Spain, Italy, France, Belgium, the Netherlands, Denmark, Norway, Finland, Italy, Switzerland, Slovakia, Croatia, Greece, Bulgaria, Hungary, and Romania.

>The suffering of ordinary Russian people under the Soviet system forms a large focus in this work, and at all times great sympathy is evoked for these victims of Communism: men, women and children alike. Special mention is made of their awful living conditions, inflicted by the Soviet economic collectivization system, and always condemned only as the result of Communism.

>In addition, the economics, social structure, art, and even freedom of religion under the Soviet state is dramatically and graphically compared with Germany—and elsewhere in Europe.

>Finally, after reviewing numerous Soviet atrocities and Communist secret police torture chambers discovered during the German advance into the Baltic states and the Ukraine, this SS book ends with a dramatic series of photographs showing the murderous intentions of the Soviet state—and a warning that if the European people did not unite and together fight off the attack by the “Jewish-led Underman,” then Europe itself would be destroyed.

The problem with racial realism is that it's impossible to tell apart the strictly contextual advantage of said racists versus their totally chance and lucky standpoint. Nobody thinks of the Mongols as a racially superior master race, even though every single nation they invaded and every nation behind them lived in total fear of them. The success of Europe in conquering of the world has nothing to do with their genetic species subcategory and everything to do with their geopolitical positioning and other unaccountable accidents of fate. China at several points could have colonized the New World, they choose not too because of arbitary cultural reasons. The Chinese imperial lineage was just as prestigious if not more lasting than the Roman; which all fascist movements derive their claim to fame from/. It just so happened their ruler at that point in time decided that North America should not be explored. China would have gotten to North America before the Vikings if it were not for the narrow short sightedness of its rulers and political instability within his court. You can look this up.
It has nothing to do with race Race is a cope and I'm sorry you are so stupid that you think otherwise, read a book.

That was a push by Goebbels I believe. Hitler was anti slav and lebensraum promoted getting rid of slavs while goebbels said he wanted to turn them into natsocs, primarily for the war effort.

>>16480010
No, Deutschphysik failed to beat einstein's "Jewish physics".
Firstly science is meant to be, by definition, universally applicable. This would contradict any particular solutions especially ones based on race.
This opens, though, different abilities to a physics structure. Einstein's relied on calculus I believe and Deutschphysik on Geometry, if I'm remembering correctly, so the structures to their theories are different. This sets up an order of precedence of structures, or a hierarchy if you will in which structures are measured by their universality of application.
So any racial facts take a particular structure in their application. Considering the universe existed prior to race, and that it extends past race, a racial science can only be as wide, or applicable, as a race.
This inability to compare models of science, in this case physics, would have facts of the most fundamental order in race science being very derivative of a science that has a structure that is more universal.
So a fact isn't equal to other facts. Let me do an example:
In iq research, it states a range, taking numbers as an axiom, certainly undefined. So for example it says an order of difference is 15. These orders, because numbers are taken as axioms, among other things, would equate 15 as a more fundamental difference to say 1. Now applicably, the difference between 15 in most iq structures is large, but in terms of a more universal structure, say the universe, it's extraordinarily small.
This also takes a certain definition of intelligence as an axiom, which has been shown to be in the best of situations correlative. Correlation is very democratic, or poll-like, which is odd for a nazi to accept, if nazism is a complete metaphysics.

I'm not him but I would forward his proposal in that it doesn't include, as of now, a quantification of ability to grow, or a Forrest Gump variable. It's not even really based on science much like psychology mostly isn't but for different reasons: Psychology uses reported symptoms, similarly poll-like, compared to neuroscience which tries to use something materially measurable. Obviously psychoanalysis tries to refer to universals.
How IQ could use universal structures with material ones remains to be seen.

Notwithstanding that you seem attacking a strawman instead of the arguments presented in OP's essay, you also seem to think of the only possible criteria to distinguish different races to be solely power and conquest, but then what about culture? Culture cannot be attributed to geographical advantage, and as far as I'm aware, pre world war europe prided itself purely on the account of its sophisticated culture (in relation to its neighbors) and so did the Greeks and the Romans. If this criteria is to be accepted, then it makes sense that nobody considers Mongols as racially superior, since they are culturally bankrupt. As far as the Chinese are concerned, Nazis considered them "Aryans of the east" and therefore a league of their own. The irony of this post is that you tell others to read a book but you are uninformed yourself, though to be fair you did mention you are drunk.

Why is that a lot of modern Westerners can't shut the fuck up about political affiliation? Do you really think your voices, as peasants or underclass, will make a difference? I don't like the presence of blacks as much as others, but my mental strategy involves trying to not stick out because aiming for large-scale change will most likely put me on a hit list or involve sacrificing a few good people. Everyone acts like they're willing to sacrifice anything for their political ideology, but that seems kind of pathetic to me. Hell, I have even more respect to the religious fanatics than political ideologues.
The polarization of Westerners is annoying, and to be honest, I feel it is just as burdensome as unruly refugees. What created these problems in the first place, and what can the average man do about it? Why fret on it if you're most likely going to wind up getting involved in morally ambivalent situations like sacrificing a few good men to achieve your prosperity?

You are raising the scientific standards in order to disqualify certain disciplines. You are basically arguing against all social sciences then. But that a science like anthropology (in this case, racial anthropology) cannot be as rigorous as another science doesn't mean it has no value. Physics itself, Deutsch, Jewish or otherwise, is not as rigorous as mathematics owning to the problem of induction. If we take the logical structure of the world as the first order, then physics would be a "derivative" (in the sense you referred to) of mathematics, and biology as a "second derivative" of mathematics. Does this mean these disciplines don't serve their purpose? Evidently not. This was certainly a weird argument though.

As population decreases, the amount of unintelligent people decrease due to competition, on average. So even following your structure, we see an issue with codifying iq right now as an incorrigible variable.

Genetic predisposition doesn't negate things like free will though? No one (of any importance) disagrees that the physicality of existence mediates things like free will. I think your premise should actually be reversed. The common man benefits from a fatalistic "every man in his place and a place for every man" while it is the wisest who are meant to contend with the nature of an indeterminate existence (and therefore future).
