Oh, for crying out loud, I've hardly used even all of the widely known material that proves the Nazi genocides were Darwinian in their origin. There is this infamous declaration made by Reinhard Heydrich at the Wannsee Conference of why, after they'd murdered all of the Jews who had no economic utility to the Nazis they'd either work those to death or kill those who survived even that culling. His thinking was absolutely Darwinian, expressed in terms of natural selection.
“during the course of the Final Solution, the Jews will be deployed under appropriate supervision at a suitable form of labor deployment in the East. In large labor columns, separated by gender, able-bodied Jews will be brought to those regions to build roads, whereby a large number will doubtlessly be lost through natural reduction. Any final remnant that survives will doubtless consist of the elements most capable of resistance. They must be dealt with appropriately, since, representing the fruit of natural selection, they are to be regarded as the core of a new Jewish revival.”
That's not something that some creationist made up, it's something quoted from the Holocaust Museum website.
NATURAL SELECTION IS DARWINISM, IT IS THE CORE OF DARWINISM, it is the origin of eugenics including the Nazi eugenics of which their entire policy was made. All of it, from murdering those deemed unfit among Germans to the elimination of those considered biologically inferior to "Aryans" so they could not "pollute" the German people,* to murdering possible rival groups in a Darwinian struggle for life . . . exactly in accord with Darwin's book in which he set out his theory, beginning with the title. On the Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection, or the Preservation of Favoured Races in the Struggle for Life.
Heydrich, the architect of the earlier stage of the genocide carried out by the Einsatzgruppen and one of the main planners of the "final solution" intended the "Aryans" of which he believed himself to be a superior example (Hitler favored him due to his "Aryan" appearance as well as his amoral depravity) to win any "struggle for life" because they were the "favoured race". Darwin would only disagree on the basis of his belief that his own group was pretty favored and his list of those races which were to disappear was somewhat different. As I pointed out the week before last, it's remarkable how those who believe that natural selection is a real thing instead of an ideological delusion inevitably include whatever groups they like as the "favoured races" (inevitably including their own) and which are expendable. That's inevitable whenever people believe that natural selection is a real thing. We've had more than a hundred fifty years to prove that in real life. And real life has proved it.
Anyone who isn't willing to face the factual truth of that is more than slightly willing to have it happen again, they're just hoping it happens to someone else, apparently.
* The participants discussed a number of other issues raised by the new policy, including the establishment of the Theresienstadt camp-ghetto as a destination for elderly Jews as well Jews who were disabled or decorated in World War I, the deferment until after the war of “Final Solution” measures against Jews married to non-Jews or persons of mixed descent as defined by the Nuremberg laws, prospects for inducing Germany's Axis partners to give up their Jewish populations, and preparatory measures for the “evacuations."
To paraphrase America's greatest poet, no Darwinist ever called me kike.
ReplyDeleteKarl Pearson called you a hell of a lot worse than that.
DeleteLet me, an anti-Darwinist, call you an idiot schmuck.
There's a phrase for somebody like you, who's pathologically unable to blame anti-Semitism on Christianity.
ReplyDeleteThere's a phrase for someone like you who denies the fact that the Nazis were inspired to murder Jews based on their belief in Darwinism, as expressed in their own words even at the Wannsee conference (I'm reading through all of the documents from it and, you know what, Stupes, I haven't found the word "God" or "Jesus" once, though I have found "natural selection") and it is an invincibly ignorant liar. Though since going online I've come to shorten that to "Simels".
DeleteIt's no surprise that a Simels, motivated only by their anti-Christian bigotry refuses to acknowledge that anti-Semitism was a phenomenon that preceded the birth of Jesus and was rampant among Greek and Roman pagan intellectuals and politicians, even when faced with the words of one of the Nazis' favorites, Tacitus who also despised Christianity.
Simps, you really don't care about the Shoah, it's just a tool for you to maintain and promote your own bigotry and to use as a tactic in argument, since you aren't very good at making arguments, only effective with your fellow bigots and idiots.
