RSSYeah, but then the country turns into Mexico.
Jared Taylor has disavowed white supremacism, which is commonly understood as the idea that whites should rule over and dominate non-whites. There are virtually no white supremacists in existence.
Every race has strengths and weaknesses. But right now, Jews are at the very top of the racial hierarchy, so to speak.
Absolutely. Jews and Chinese are kindred spirits and share many cultural traits, especially when it comes to money and doing business.
It takes all kinds...
Absolutely. Jews and Chinese are kindred spirits and share many cultural traits, especially when it comes to money and doing business.
Do the Chinese import millions of the best and brightest of the West to compete with their own students? Didn’t think so. Whites have gone full retard.
And countries like poor little Ecuador are in on it too? I find that hard to believe. Just because certain actors may be exploiting the situation for their own gain, that doesn’t preclude the existence of a worldwide pandemic more deadly and contagious than the flu. At some point, you have to stop denying reality and actually look at the numbers.
With regard to the film, 1+1=2 even if it’s a Jew saying it.
Perhaps the film is the Jews giving us the middle finger. Like, “Here is what we’re doing. And you won’t be able to stop us.” But according to his wiki, Paddy Chayefsky was a pro-Israel social democrat. So, if you imagine the film being written by a neocon Bernie Sanders, it all starts to make sense. As for Greg Johnson, I’ve never seen him shill for Jews. Quite the opposite actually. And if you think the entire world is in on a “Corona mega-hoax” directed by Jews, you’re going to need some solid proof for a claim like that. It’s not as if global pandemics just stopped being a potential threat in the last decade for some reason.
China is just another pawn in the Jew World Order.
This is true that some form of globalization would have probably been inevitable. However this was never in dispute. Why be deceptive about this? Your angle regarding you arguing that globalization would have happened anyways was you trying to claim that mass immigration was inevitable, you were never really trying to argue about globalization in the sense that you're now discussing it. I already acknowledged that globalization in some form could have happened multiple times throughout this debate so its disingenous for you to act like you're somehow proving me wrong.True when put that way. “Globalism” in the broad sense of a world connected through trade and technology isn’t necessarily though.
The specific, modern iteration of globalization that we now know is directly connected to western colonization.
. (comment #409)
I never denied that technology would have brought the world much closer together in the absence of globalism, but technology does not automatically mean that mass immigration would happen
yup and thus far you have been trying to argue against the fact that western colonization helped allow modern mass-immigration to come into existence. You keep arguing that in a hypothetical alternative timeline that mass immigration would have happened anyways but this is unprovable. Just because mass immigration can happen without a framework of colonialism doesn't mean that mass immigration would have definitely happened in an alternative timeline where western colonialism had never occurred. The entire reason that you brought up your alternate globalization timeline in the first place was because you were trying to dispute the fact that western colonialism was crucial in helping to bring about the conditions under which mass immigration could happen in the first place. The truth is, the modern globalization (and mass immigration) that we know is directly connected to western colonialism, had western colonialism never happened then reality would be completely different. There is no way to argue against this, this is why you have to resort to talking about hypothetical scenarios instead of discussing real history that actually happened..
Im not sure why you thought your claim about mass migrations predating european colonialism was somehow a suitable argument
It just shows that mass immigration can happen without a framework of colonialism.
it depends on their view of the morality of conquest; if they dont have an opinion of it being inherently moral or immoral then they can try to fight it and resist it all they want without being hypocrites. Remember what the definition of hypocrisy is:Then I guess pretty much any racial or ethnic group that exists today would be hypocrites for protesting their own genocide since their own existence is probably predicated on the conquest of some other group at some point in time. And virtually no one will admit that they shouldn’t exist. According to you, that means they’re condoning conquest.
If a non-murderer claims that it is wrong for someone to try to murder him but then condones and makes excuses for his ancestor murdering people then it makes him a hypocrite period. The non-murderer is essentially claiming that murder is wrong but then engaging in behavior which condones murder. This is contradictory behavior. Whether or not the murders were necessary to bring the non-murderer into existence has no bearing on whether or not the non-murderer is a hypocrite.
If you don't have any particular ethical convictions about the concept of colonialism in the first place then you aren't a hypocrite for fighting against yourself being colonized. Remember, the key component of hypocrisy is what one claims to believe or feel, without that standard of belief or feeling, there can be no hypocrisy.
a feigning to be what one is not or to believe what one does not : behavior that contradicts what one claims to believe or feel
how can you say that for sure though? just earlier you were claiming that you don't speak for all white nationalists LOLThat’s fine. We dislike you too.
Either way I dont really care, like I said, my bone to pick isnt with whites, I just dislike white nationalists.
like I said:Nigerian-American is an ethnic group. American-Japanese would be an ethnic group. Spanish-Japanese would be an ethnic group. If you look at the above definition, ethnicity is a really broad concept.
technically nigerian-american would be considered a “double nationality”. This is because the term “nigerian” refers to a civic-nationality designation which encompasses a bunch of different ethnic groups; this is not just my opinion but this is actually according to the wikipedia definition itself. This would be the same as if there was an emigrant community of americans (of all different races) who settled in japan. Would these so-called “american-japanese” be considered an ethnic group? According to this definition of ethnicity they could not be considered an ethnic group since they are from different races/ethnicities, although if there was an emigrant community of actual, genetically spanish people then we could consider these “spanish-japanese” as an ethnic group. Here’s another example of a “double nationality”:
according to the definition of ethnicity that I provided american-japanese could not be considered an ethnic group, although under other definitions of ethnicity you could possibly consider them an ethnic group but this runs contrary to how the term ethnicity is typically used. When somebody talks about british-americans as an ethnic group (and not a nationality) people immediately think about white, indigenous british people, people don't think about jamaican or chinese british people. The concept of ethnicity being used as a broad, transracial identifier is not that common from what ive seen. Im willing to admit though that beyond the colloquial level, ethnicity can be a broad concept although I disagree with its usage in certain contexts and I think there are more suitable words which can be used instead. I suspect that the (recent) confusion in nomenclature is due to politically correct thinking distorting the original meaning of ethnicity. See below:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ethnic_group#Approaches_to_understanding_ethnicity
Another influential theoretician of ethnicity was Fredrik Barth, whose "Ethnic Groups and Boundaries" from 1969 has been described as instrumental in spreading the usage of the term in social studies in the 1980s and 1990s.[26] Barth went further than Weber in stressing the constructed nature of ethnicity. To Barth, ethnicity was perpetually negotiated and renegotiated by both external ascription and internal self-identification. Barth's view is that ethnic groups are not discontinuous cultural isolates or logical a priority to which people naturally belong. He wanted to part with anthropological notions of cultures as bounded entities, and ethnicity as primordialist bonds, replacing it with a focus on the interface between groups. "Ethnic Groups and Boundaries", therefore, is a focus on the interconnectedness of ethnic identities. (bold) Barth writes: "... categorical ethnic distinctions do not depend on an absence of mobility, contact, and information, but do entail social processes of exclusion and incorporation whereby discrete categories are maintained despite changing participation and membership in the course of individual life histories."
The original meaning of ethnicity is much more in tune with the concept of ethnicity that I have been using. The concept of ethnicity that you have been using is more of a modern, sanitized, politically correct version of it. I find this ironic because you are nominally against things like race denial:
Different approaches to understanding ethnicity have been used by different social scientists when trying to understand the nature of ethnicity as a factor in human life and society. As Jonathan M. Hall observes, World War II was a turning point in ethnic studies. The consequences of Nazi racism discouraged essentialist interpretations of ethnic groups and race. Ethnic groups came to be defined as social rather than biological entities. Their coherence was attributed to shared myths, descent, kinship, a commonplace of origin, language, religion, customs, and national character. So, ethnic groups are conceived as mutable rather than stable, constructed in discursive practices rather than written in the genes.[29]
(comment #272)
What do neoliberal globalism, Jewish ethnic hatred, racial egalitarianism (promoted by Boas), the idea that “diversity is our greatest strength,” or capital’s desire for cheap labor have to do with the legacy of colonialism? Your analysis is facile.
like I said:
Yes, they are both ethnic Russians. But they are also white Russians and Central Asian Russians.
people generally use the term ethnicity to refer to the genetic background of somebody as opposed to their national origin. Granted, this is not the only way that ethnicity can be used but it is the most common way. This is why I prefaced my argument with the adverb "generally". I noticed that you cut off the most pertinent part of the definition btw, ill post the entire thing again:
Could you really consider both the women in these pictures an “ethnic russian”? People generally use the term ethnicity to refer to the genetic background of somebody as opposed to their national origin. Obviously these two pictures show people of two distinct ethnicities, it wouldnt make sense to consider them as the same ethnicity nor would the majority of people think of it that way either. Once again its important to consider the crucial aspect of what is considered an ethnicity:
according to the definition of ethnic group on wikipedia, ethnicity tends to be defined by things like shared ancestry, physical appearance and share a similar gene pool. Why did you omit this part? Obviously these two sets of women do not have shared ancestry, nor do they have a similar physical appearance and nor do they share a similar gene pool. Therefore, most people would not consider them the same ethnicity. I understand you are trying to apply a very broad level of ethnicity, which is not necessarily incorrect but its usage would be considered unusual and reeks of "politically correctness"

Once again its important to consider the crucial aspect of what is considered an ethnicity:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ethnic_group
Ethnicity is usually an inherited status based on the society in which one lives. Membership of an ethnic group tends to be defined by a shared cultural heritage, ancestry, origin myth, history, homeland, language or dialect, symbolic systems such as religion, mythology and ritual, cuisine, dressing style, art or physical appearance. Ethnic groups often continue to speak related languages and share a similar gene pool. By way of language shift, acculturation, adoption and religious conversion.
Yup, like I said:They are both ethnic groups. Just read any article talking about Nigerian-Americans, and it will refer to them as an ethnic group. Non-Americans definitely see Americans as our own ethnic group, regardless as race.
so to answer your question, nigerian-american isnt an ethnic group, any more than american is an ethnic group. “Nigeria” has only existed as a single, unified state since 1914, its basically a “fake” nation. The only reason why people might refer to nigerians as an ethnic group is out of expediency and/or due to ignorance. Most importantly, the notion of a “hyphenated-american” doesn’t always refer to an ethnic group like you were suggesting, it can refer to a nationality as well:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyphenated_American#Usage_of_the_hyphen
a particular race of people, or the fact of being from a particular race of people:
Ethnicity is not considered when reviewing applications.
Our students have many different nationalities, religions, and ethnicities.
However I do concede that there are multiple usages of the term ethnicity. I never denied this, although I was more concerned with your insistence that the term ethnicity has no biological connotations, which is what you suggested when you posted this earlier:

(comment #417)
Ethnicity can be changed, race can not. It is biological reality. That alone proves that race is the more important factor. Ethnicity is largely cultural.
there are two things to consider here:
Non-Americans definitely see Americans as our own ethnic group, regardless as race.
I never denied that there are different levels of ethnicity, although I disagree with your application of it since it runs contrary to how I see the majority of people apply it and it strikes me as being a vehicle for political influence
Yes, there is arbitrariness. There is also different levels of ethnicity and people can belong to multiple ethnicities. Some ethnic groups can be “stronger” or more fundamental than others.
yeah well that's not the meaning of synonymWhen the dictionary site listed the other words as synonyms, I took it that they were related concepts not that they actually mean the same thing.
btw what did you mean by this? You said that nation is listed a synonym of race, but then you claimed that this doesnt mean that nation and race can be used interchangeably. You never answered this, do you know what a synonym is?

ok :)No, I just meant that nationality and ethnicity are more interchangeable than race and ethnicity (which is not at all).

With China’s new prominence in global affairs, the Han race, which constitutes 90 percent of the Chinese population, is suddenly the most dominant cohesive ethnic group in the world — and it is seeking to remain that way through strategic alliances, aggressive trade policy, and attacks on racial minorities within the country’s boundaries.

You're just describing your actions, you starting to say white nationalists instead of just whites is not the same as you explicitly clarifying that you had made a typo. Why try to sidestep this? You claimed that you explicitly clarified that you made a typo yet you never did this. Therefore you're wrong about this#389 was when I started saying white nationalists like I meant to instead of just whites.
You claimed that you had explicitly clarified that you had made a typo in comment #389 but you didn’t. If you didn’t explicitly clarify that you had made a typo then why did you claim that you did so in comment #389?
so you can't find where I specifically made that claim, gotchaIt was obvious from what you posted. Your hatred of whites oozes from your writing.
so you can’t find where I specifically made that claim, I mean we’ve both known this for weeks now. Its hilarious watching you squirm about this, we both know that you can’t find where I made the claim
Alright, I’m done. I didn’t even read what you wrote as I’ve wasted enough time on this already.
The fact that mass migrations predate european colonialism doesn't disprove the fact that western colonization is directly responsible for modern globalization. The specific, modern iteration of globalization that we now know is directly connected to western colonization. Prior mass migrations predating european colonialism has nothing to do with the specific version of globalization that we are now experiencing. The specific modern globalized world that we are now experiencing is a direct result of western colonization; had western colonization not happened then we would not be experiencing the current, specific form of globalization which is currently happening that you complain about. Im not sure why you thought your claim about mass migrations predating european colonialism was somehow a suitable argument. Western colonization is directly responsible for modern globalization, notice that you can no longer refute this this is why you have to resort to arguments talking about hypothetical scenarios.Okay, but China was still never colonized. And the existence of mass migrations predates European colonialism.
This is of course dealing with real history that actually happened; im literally describing events how they historically happened, not coping and trying to make up fantasy, hypothetical alternate realities like you do.
I already addressed this but I think its worth going over again just to make this clear. The fact that the non-murderer's ancestor's murders led to the existence of the non-murderer himself is irrelevant in terms of determining whether or not there is hypocrisy. You're accidentally entangling factors here. The fact that the non-murderer's ancestor's murders led to the existence of the non-murderer himself and the fact that the non-murderer himself is a hypocrite are not mutually exclusive concepts. You need to learn what hypocrisy entails and doesn't entail. You're mistakenly overextending the meaning of the concept of hypocrisy to have a certain type of significance which it actually doesnt have.It would be more accurate to say that it is hypocritical for a non-murderer to condone and make excuses for his ancestor’s murders (because it led to his very existence) but then claim it is wrong for someone else to try and murder him. Which is false, obviously. And you can still think something is wrong (like the Native American genocide), and still not wish it happened any other way.
if there was a murderer who condoned and made excuses for his own murders but then claimed that it was wrong that someone else was trying to murder him then yes, this person would be considered a hypocrite. You condone and make excuses for the native american genocide but then you cry when the same thing happens to white americans.
If a non-murderer claims that it is wrong for someone to try to murder him but then condones and makes excuses for his ancestor murdering people then it makes him a hypocrite period. The non-murderer is essentially claiming that murder is wrong but then engaging in behavior which condones murder. This is contradictory behavior. Whether or not the murders were necessary to bring the non-murderer into existence has no bearing on whether or not the non-murderer is a hypocrite.
a feigning to be what one is not or to believe what one does not : behavior that contradicts what one claims to believe or feel
Yeah of course you can do this, nobody is stopping you from doing this. However, if you wish that it had not happened in any other way then this makes you a hypocrite if you choose to argue against white displacement. Like I said, you can do whatever you want to or think however you want to (including fighting against white displacement), but it doesnt change the fact that you are a hypocrite.
And you can still think something is wrong (like the Native American genocide), and still not wish it happened any other way.
Like I said, what native americans experienced during the process of their displacement was significantly worse than what white americans are currently going through. If you can't consider what the native americans experienced as genocide then you also can't call what white americans are experiencing genocide either.You might call it an accidental genocide because of the smallpox spread. It wasn’t just some giant mass slaughter. But yes, native americans are in a worse situation than whites right now.
what I find ironic is that white nationalist morons will cry about white genocide but then they will claim that what native americans experienced wasnt genocide. What native americans went through was significantly worse than what white americans are currently going through. If what the native americans experienced wasnt genocide then what white americans are experiencing sure as hell isnt genocide.
theres plenty of hypocrisy; your issue as ive demonstrated is just that you don't really understand what hypocrisy entails. Ironically that makes you the dumb one lolThere is no hypocrisy as I’ve explained numerous times. You’re just too dumb or prideful to admit it. As for the rest of your sperg, white nationalism is on the rise, and there is nothing you can do to stop it.
because you guys are hypocritical pieces of shit. I dont care if whites fight to protect themselves or not; I literally dont care either way. I just hate POS alt-right, white nationalists who talk out both sides of their mouths. Throughout this entire debate youve strongly reminded myself of why I despise white nationalists. You guys are slimy, deceptive, dishonorable, hypocritical and arrogant. Its unfortunate for white people that the only people they have defending them are people like yourselves. Unsurprisingly, isnt it funny how white nationalists can’t even get the majority of whites to support them? You guys are outcasts even amongst your own people LOL.
yeah this is actually true, both parts. White nationalism is on the rise and also there is nothing I can do to stop it. That being said, in a practical sense this is actually irrelevant. The reason why is because the US is already around 50% non-hispanic white IIRC and the demographic trends favoring further non-white population growth and a shrinking white population are already baked in. We could completely end immigration tomorrow and the US would still be facing white demographic collapse. Furthermore, white nationalism is growing too slow and too late. By the time white nationalism actually reaches critical mass and has the numbers to actually do something whites will already be significantly outnumbered. Keep in mind that even if white nationalists do reach critical mass this doesnt mean that all whites will support them; so not only will whites be significantly outnumbered at that point in time, but not even all of the remaining whites will even support white nationalists.
As for the rest of your sperg, white nationalism is on the rise, and there is nothing you can do to stop it.
actually there are two things here:No, I’m not wrong because what you wrote made no sense in any other context and could only be taken one way. But I do agree this is an insignificant point overall.
why weasel out of this? why are you trying to change the goal posts and shift the argument to something different? why not just drop the matter? this is an insignificant point overall. You wanted to claim that I was incorrectly attributing a statement to you and it turns out that you were completely wrong about this. Its not my fault you didnt read what I wrote. Youve already demonstrated a strong tendency to misread or misunderstand things numerous times throughout this conversation. You were wrong, get over it and just drop it.
and below is the entire paragraph:
Ironically your apples and oranges argument is supporting my original thesis. For various reasons, different ethnicities might or might not have tried to dominate the world if they were in a position to do so. To say that all ethnicities/cultural blocs would have acted in the same way were they in the position of western europeans is a really broad and unprovable statement due to its inherent complexity.
I was trying to clarify what was going on in the debate since it became apparent that there was a misunderstanding at some level; within the context of clarifying our respective stances I pointed out that your apples and oranges argument supported my original thesis; referring to this stance as my original thesis makes sense within the context of me trying to clarify our respective stances. As you can see, what I wrote made perfect sense within the greater context. Since you only read the snippet and didnt bother reading the larger paragraph you were under the impression that what I was saying was out of context.
Whats been going on in this debate is a little bit complicated but im going to try to unpack it. Initially I made a broad statement about whites, which you then responded to with the above quote referring broadly to races; afterwards I specified my claim since I was originally talking about western europeans and not all whites. From that point on in the conversation I made a consistent effort to point out that I was talking about things on the ethnic/cultural bloc level as opposed to at the racial level. Its within this context (the ethnic/cultural bloc level, not the racial level) that I was debating against the notion that all other “races” would have done the same if they were in the place of western europeans. Ironically your apples and oranges argument is supporting my original thesis. For various reasons, different ethnicities might or might not have tried to dominate the world if they were in a position to do so. To say that all ethnicities/cultural blocs would have acted in the same way were they in the position of western europeans is a really broad and unprovable statement due to its inherent complexity.
Just to be completely clear though, I was never interested in having a broad conversation about race; and I think that my comments throughout this debate reflect this as well. As far as im concerned, regarding this particular argument I think we have come to an agreement. OTOH if you’re trying to have a conversation about entire races (as opposed to ethnicities and cultural blocs) then im not interested in it, and never was.
this is sad watching you trying to squirm out of this. Dude you're wrong, how can you even keep trying to deny this at this point?Ethnicity and race do not mean the same thing.
the merriam-webster dictionary says otherwise. You obviously don’t know what semantically means in this context, if you did then you would realize that your argument is unnecessary. You do realize that words can possess different meanings right? There are figurative meanings, literal meanings, scientific meanings etc etc. Its becoming obvious that you don’t really grasp this concept…
The word race is a synonym for ethnicity; the two words have different meanings but can also be used interchangeably sometimes. You do know what a synonym is right? I dont know why this is so hard for you to understand. Are you really going to argue against what the dictionary itself says? lol
Synonyms for ethnicity
nation, nationality, race
well, lets consider what is the definition of ethnicity first:
Let me ask you this, is Nigerian-American an ethnic group? Or do we call them Yoruba-Americans? You can belong to multiple levels of different ethnic groups.
technically nigerian-american would be considered a "double nationality". This is because the term "nigerian" refers to a civic-nationality designation which encompasses a bunch of different ethnic groups; this is not just my opinion but this is actually according to the wikipedia definition itself. This would be the same as if there was an emigrant community of americans (of all different races) who settled in japan. Would these so-called "american-japanese" be considered an ethnic group? According to this definition of ethnicity they could not be considered an ethnic group since they are from different races/ethnicities, although if there was an emigrant community of actual, genetically spanish people then we could consider these "spanish-japanese" as an ethnic group. Here's another example of a "double nationality":
a particular race of people, or the fact of being from a particular race of people:
Ethnicity is not considered when reviewing applications.
Our students have many different nationalities, religions, and ethnicities.
Keep in mind that both of these people could be considered "russian-americans":
Russian Americans are Americans who trace their ancestry to Russia, the former Russian Empire, or the former Soviet Union. This means that ‘Russian’ does not necessarily refer to East Slavic ethnic Russians. The definition can be applied to recent Russian immigrants to the United States, as well as to settlers of 19th-century Russian settlements in northwestern America.
In several major urban centers in the U.S., many Jewish Americans and other ethnic groups with roots in the former Soviet Union, such as Armenian Americans, Belarusian Americans, Georgian Americans, Ukrainian Americans, and Uzbek Americans, identify with the Russian American community. Additionally, some Rusyn Americans who left Eastern Catholicism for Eastern Orthodoxy identify as Russian Americans.
so to answer your question, nigerian-american isnt an ethnic group, any more than american is an ethnic group. "Nigeria" has only existed as a single, unified state since 1914, its basically a "fake" nation. The only reason why people might refer to nigerians as an ethnic group is out of expediency and/or due to ignorance. Most importantly, the notion of a "hyphenated-american" doesn't always refer to an ethnic group like you were suggesting, it can refer to a nationality as well:
Ethnicity is usually an inherited status based on the society in which one lives. Membership of an ethnic group tends to be defined by a shared cultural heritage, ancestry, origin myth, history, homeland, language or dialect, symbolic systems such as religion, mythology and ritual, cuisine, dressing style, art or physical appearance. Ethnic groups often continue to speak related languages and share a similar gene pool. By way of language shift, acculturation, adoption and religious conversion.
In many cases a hyphenated-american designation can refer to either a nationality based group or an ethnic group depending on the background of the person in question; as for nigerian however it's basically a nationality based group since there is no such thing as an original nigerian ethnicity. Now as time goes on and the various ethnicities in nigeria begin to mix and homogenize then yes, maybe you could consider this new ethnic amalgamation as an ethnicity but until that happens on a large scale you can't really consider nigerian as an actual ethnicity. The same goes for american as well, an american ethnicity doesn't exist but in the future it most likely will, see below:
Ethnicity or nationality: Arab American, Armenian American, British American, Chinese American, Colombian American, English American, Filipino American, French American, German American, Greek American, Haitian American, Indian American, Irish American, Italian American, Japanese American, Jewish American, Korean American, Mexican American, Norwegian American, Pakistani American, Polish American, Russian American, Scottish American, Swedish American, Ukrainian American, Vietnamese American, and so on.
btw what did you mean by this? You said that nation is listed a synonym of race, but then you claimed that this doesnt mean that nation and race can be used interchangeably. You never answered this, do you know what a synonym is?
You’ll notice that nation is listed as a synonym of race. That doesn’t mean nation and race can be used interchangeably.
oh...so now you admit that ethnicity and race can be interchangeable sometimes, but earlier you were claiming that ethnicity and race are not interchangeable. Looks like you have finally admitted you were wrongNationality and ethnicity are more interchangeable than ethnicity and race.
As you can see, under certain conditions words can function as synonyms for other words, its all highly contextual but I understand that this is a concept you have difficulty understanding due to your autism.
you did claim that you explicitly mentioned you made a typo in comment #413:When did I claim that I explicitly mentioned that I made a typo? I just made the correction in subsequent posts and thought you were smart enough to pick up on it. Guess I was wrong.
you claimed that you explicitly mentioned that you made a typo but you didnt; it was absent in the text I provided, ergo you were wrong. The fact that you claim that the usage of the word white nationalist should have given me a clue confirms this. If you explicitly clarified anything then by definition you wouldn’t need to give out clues since you are already explicitly clarifying it. Do you not understand what the word explicitly means? lmao, even your own words prove you wrong
You claimed that you had explicitly clarified that you had made a typo in comment #389 but you didn't. If you didn't explicitly clarify that you had made a typo then why did you claim that you did so in comment #389?Post 389. And every post after I wrote white nationalists.
I dont recall you explicitly clarifying this and saying that it was a typo. Im not accusing you of lying either, please show where you explicitly clarified that this was a type. I don’t recall you saying anything to this effect but I could be wrong
so you can't find where I specifically made that claim, I mean we've both known this for weeks now. Its hilarious watching you squirm about this, we both know that you can't find where I made the claimReplies: @FvSI’m glad you admitted to supporting white genocide and that you are a hypocrite.
never claimed I was on your side. Nor am I bothered by your pathetic and clumsy attempts at moral shaming. Do you think I give a fuck? lmao. Glad you capitulated on this point. Like I said, you can’t find where I specifically made that claim.
The specific, modern iteration of globalization that we now know is directly connected to western colonization.
True when put that way. “Globalism” in the broad sense of a world connected through trade and technology isn’t necessarily though.
Im not sure why you thought your claim about mass migrations predating european colonialism was somehow a suitable argument.
It just shows that mass immigration can happen without a framework of colonialism.
If a non-murderer claims that it is wrong for someone to try to murder him but then condones and makes excuses for his ancestor murdering people then it makes him a hypocrite period. The non-murderer is essentially claiming that murder is wrong but then engaging in behavior which condones murder. This is contradictory behavior. Whether or not the murders were necessary to bring the non-murderer into existence has no bearing on whether or not the non-murderer is a hypocrite.
Then I guess pretty much any racial or ethnic group that exists today would be hypocrites for protesting their own genocide since their own existence is probably predicated on the conquest of some other group at some point in time. And virtually no one will admit that they shouldn’t exist. According to you, that means they’re condoning conquest.
Either way I dont really care, like I said, my bone to pick isnt with whites, I just dislike white nationalists.
That’s fine. We dislike you too.
The word race is a synonym for ethnicity; the two words have different meanings but can also be used interchangeably sometimes. You do know what a synonym is right? I dont know why this is so hard for you to understand. Are you really going to argue against what the dictionary itself says? lol
An ethnic group or ethnicity is a category of people who identify with each other, usually on the basis of presumed similarities such as common language, ancestry, history, society, culture, nation or social treatment within their residing area.[1][2] Ethnicity is often used synonymously with the term nation, particularly in cases of ethnic nationalism, and is separate from but related to the concept of races.
Ethnicity is usually an inherited status based on the society in which one lives. Membership of an ethnic group tends to be defined by a shared cultural heritage, ancestry, origin myth, history, homeland, language or dialect, symbolic systems such as religion, mythology and ritual, cuisine, dressing style, art or physical appearance. Ethnic groups often continue to speak related languages and share a similar gene pool. By way of language shift, acculturation, adoption and religious conversion.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ethnic_group
technically nigerian-american would be considered a “double nationality”. This is because the term “nigerian” refers to a civic-nationality designation which encompasses a bunch of different ethnic groups; this is not just my opinion but this is actually according to the wikipedia definition itself. This would be the same as if there was an emigrant community of americans (of all different races) who settled in japan. Would these so-called “american-japanese” be considered an ethnic group? According to this definition of ethnicity they could not be considered an ethnic group since they are from different races/ethnicities, although if there was an emigrant community of actual, genetically spanish people then we could consider these “spanish-japanese” as an ethnic group. Here’s another example of a “double nationality”:
Nigerian-American is an ethnic group. American-Japanese would be an ethnic group. Spanish-Japanese would be an ethnic group. If you look at the above definition, ethnicity is a really broad concept.
Could you really consider both the women in these pictures an “ethnic russian”? People generally use the term ethnicity to refer to the genetic background of somebody as opposed to their national origin. Obviously these two pictures show people of two distinct ethnicities, it wouldnt make sense to consider them as the same ethnicity nor would the majority of people think of it that way either. Once again its important to consider the crucial aspect of what is considered an ethnicity:
Yes, they are both ethnic Russians. But they are also white Russians and Central Asian Russians.
so to answer your question, nigerian-american isnt an ethnic group, any more than american is an ethnic group. “Nigeria” has only existed as a single, unified state since 1914, its basically a “fake” nation. The only reason why people might refer to nigerians as an ethnic group is out of expediency and/or due to ignorance. Most importantly, the notion of a “hyphenated-american” doesn’t always refer to an ethnic group like you were suggesting, it can refer to a nationality as well:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyphenated_American#Usage_of_the_hyphen
They are both ethnic groups. Just read any article talking about Nigerian-Americans, and it will refer to them as an ethnic group. Non-Americans definitely see Americans as our own ethnic group, regardless as race.
That being said, I will admit that there is a bit of arbitrariness. Truthfully the difference between nationality and ethnicity exists on a spectrum, but for the sake of having some means of classification we have to draw reasonable lines. The same applies for colors or for human races too, even though colors or human races don’t have definite points at which they delineate we still use approximate measures for what defines colors or human races and it works more or less effectively and the same applies to the difference between nationality and ethnicity.
Yes, there is arbitrariness. There is also different levels of ethnicity and people can belong to multiple ethnicities. Some ethnic groups can be “stronger” or more fundamental than others.
btw what did you mean by this? You said that nation is listed a synonym of race, but then you claimed that this doesnt mean that nation and race can be used interchangeably. You never answered this, do you know what a synonym is?
When the dictionary site listed the other words as synonyms, I took it that they were related concepts not that they actually mean the same thing.
oh…so now you admit that ethnicity and race can be interchangeable sometimes, but earlier you were claiming that ethnicity and race are not interchangeable. Looks like you have finally admitted you were wrong
No, I just meant that nationality and ethnicity are more interchangeable than race and ethnicity (which is not at all). Like I said, I’ve never heard of someone saying the “Russian race” or “Yoruban race” or “Han race.” If you want to know what race is, look at that image I posted of some of the different European caucasoid sub-races.
You claimed that you had explicitly clarified that you had made a typo in comment #389 but you didn’t. If you didn’t explicitly clarify that you had made a typo then why did you claim that you did so in comment #389?
#389 was when I started saying white nationalists like I meant to instead of just whites.
so you can’t find where I specifically made that claim, I mean we’ve both known this for weeks now. Its hilarious watching you squirm about this, we both know that you can’t find where I made the claim
It was obvious from what you posted. Your hatred of whites oozes from your writing.
no, its because you can't defend your original argument. Its as simple as that, even you admit that with what you just wrote. If your original argument could stand then there is no reason to try to bring up unrelated points to "further" your original arguments. Notice how you're the one who wants to keep moving and evading? I don't have to do that, I can discuss your original argument and stay on topic. I don't have to hide behind new arguments. Only a person who couldn't defend his original argument would continue to try pulling out new arguments instead of standing his ground and just defending his original argument.It’s another point that furthers my original argument. And you refuse to address it. Not surprising though.
nah, you brought it up because your original argument was getting trashed and you knew it lol
but this doesn't answer the original point. The fact that you provided representatives of every race that tried to conquer as much territory as they possibly could doesn't say anything about the possible differentials in the desire to dominate and conquer between races. For one race their maximum degree of domination/conquest that they would be inclined towards might be different compared to another race's maximum degree of domination/conquest that they would be inclined towards. Simply bringing up representatives of every race that tried to conquer as much territory as they possibly could doesn't actually say anything. This is like saying that all races are equally fast sprinters and in order to prove this you bring up a representative of every race that ran as fast as they possibly could. This comparison obviously makes no sense because just having representatives from each race that ran as fast as they could actually says nothing about how fast each athletes sprinting speed is when compared to the other athletes. Once again, you failed to answer the original point:I provided representatives of every race that tried to conquer as much territory as they possible could. Checkmate. Just imagine what the Mongolians would have done with the same degree of technological advantage that the Europeans had over Amerindians and Africans.
lol, this isnt an answer. You didn’t address anything I wrote:
Why did you ignore this? Why can't you answer this? If you're so confident that you're correct then why do you ignore legitimate questions like this?
Not necessarily. I already addressed this; different races exhibit different traits and also exhibit different degrees of certain traits when compared to other races. According to HBD we follow this logic for all other traits, why wouldnt we apply it to the traits that would undergird the desire/inclination for conquest and domination? You don’t know if all of the other races would have tried to dominate the entire world, to try to say otherwise is making a racial blank-slate argument. Its obvious that youre trying to selectively support HBD when it fits you and then use racial blank-slate arguments when HBD is inconvenient LOL.
Lets take intelligence for example; asians are intelligent, so are whites, does this mean that asians will have the same intellectual abilities as whites? nope. Does this mean that asians will be able to impact the external world with their intellect to the same degree as whites can? nope. So why would the desire/inclination for domination be any different when applied to the different races? Different races all have demonstrated the desire for domination/conquest but this doesn’t automatically mean that they would express this desire in the same way and to the same degree under identical circumstances. You can even see the same thing in society; in theory all races in the US have equal access to the same opportunities (NAMs actually have greater access to opportunities) however not all races bother to use these opportunities equally. Generally speaking different races in the US show different levels of drive and ambition and this in turn results in different outcomes. Its the same thing when applied to the hypothetical situation of the different races having the same resources and whether or not they would try to dominate the entire world. Different races will lead to different outcomes. Racial differences exist, I dont know why you keep trying to argue that they wouldnt apply in a situation like this.
You claimed that all other races would have done the same but then you claimed that racial differences in wanting to dominate others might exist. These two statements are mutually exclusive, the fact that racial differences in wanting to dominate others might exist means that you cannot definitely claim that all other races would have done the same if they were in the position of whites. Why do you continue to evade this question? Its a simple question, you need to choose one of the following out of the following two claims that you previously made:This doesn’t address my statement though. You claimed that all other races would have done the same, but then you claimed that racial differences in wanting to dominate others might exist. Your statements contradict each other, so which one is it?All races have groups that tried to take as much territory as possible at some point. Why is it so hard for you to imagine what the Mongolians would have done with European weapons and ships?
These are mutually exclusive beliefs. The fact that racial differences in wanting to dominate others might exist means that you cannot definitely claim that all other races would have done the same if they were in the position of whites.
I already addressed this above but its worth going over this again. If your original argument is strong then theres no need to augment it. If you have a strong original argument then you should be capable of sticking with that argument alone and being able to defend its merits. The fact that you cannot defend its merits and have to resort to bringing out new arguments to use just demonstrates the weakness of your original argument and your own lack of faith in the ability of that argument to stand.The original argument stands on its own. See above. The other points I brought up just augment it.
this is the same as the christianity argument, this point is irrelevant to your original argument which was based on strength/ability alone; you never said anything about internecine competition being relevant. Why are you continuing to move goal posts? Why cant you stick with your original argument?
Even you admit that what I said is correct. I stated that your claim about a pitstop being the only reason why people would want to establish a colony was your own subjective opinion and not an objective fact. You confirm this yourself by stating that everything you said is your opinion lolIt is my opinion that a power would be more likely to colonize a territory that is on the way between their ultimate trade destination and their place of origin. If the Mings had developed a more formal and long term presence in the Indian Ocean, I believe it’s possible that they would have taken more direct control over Ceylon. But the treasure voyages were over relatively quickly. The fact remains that the Portuguese and the Mings were in totally different situations. From the wiki, we can see that the Portuguese did not begin direct rule until after the ruler of Kotte converted to Christianity and basically just gave the kingdom to the Portuguese.
The chinese had interests in that area, as such that’s sufficient reason to establish a colony, especially when you consider how far away the kotte kingdom was from china. Needing to establish a pitstop is not the only reason why people would want to establish a colony; this is only your own subjective opinion, its not an objective fact. Most importantly, you were trying to claim that kotte was intended to function as a pitstop and it turns out that you were factually wrong about its purpose:
yet the very wikipedia article that we linked conclusively disproves this:
No. Kotte was like a pitstop for the Portuguese who were looking to send their ships all the way to China and beyond for long-term trade. They didn’t have the same needs and Portugal’s location is vital. Period.
Once again, the portuguese already had portuguese india, they didn't need the kingdom of kotte as a pitstop. Its funny watching you continue to try ignoring the fact that you're completely wrong about this fact.
Portuguese presence in the island lasted from 1505 to 1658. Their arrival was largely accidental, and the Portuguese sought control of commerce, rather than territory.
.Show me where I said they were the same thing. If you thought that was the implication, you misunderstood
yawn, keep conflating bro
There are two points here:lmao youre you’re literally trying to conflate them right now:
No, I never was trying to conflate them. That is a strawman. I merely asked if you supported what they were doing there as it is clear they are engaging in a form of colonialism. You have never addressed the fact that there are many ways to engage in colonialism.

nearly all countries do this, its called international relations in the age of globalization. Nearly all countries are trying to extend their influence and manipulate their relations with other countries through various means (economic, diplomatic, military etc). This is what geopolitics is. Also it is dishonest to claim that china regularly uses debt-trap diplomacyNo, not all countries do this. I believe what the author means by this is to expand the “mother country’s” control over other countries. China does this through debt-trap diplomacy especially. Where the Europeans used force to take over Africa. The Chinese are just buying it from corrupt and short-sighted leaders.-don’t all countries do this? what does this even actually mean? This is geopolitics 101
▶︎ to extend the influence of the “mother country”
so...how are the chinese supposed to pay for raw materials? Do they just pay random africans for them? Here are the facts:African leaders might be getting paid, not necessarily the African people.-africans are getting paid for it or otherwise renumerated in some way, the chinese arent just stealing their raw materials. You can bitch and moan that the chinese are somehow “manipulating” the africans but this doesnt change the fact that at the end of the day, the chinese are paying for or trading for raw materials. They aren’t just taking raw materials like they could if they were actually colonizing africa.
▶︎ to provide a source of raw materials for the “mother country”
but this is factually wrong lol. Do you really think that every single raw material that the US exports to china (or other countries for that matter) gets exported back to the US in a manufactured form? LOL. Is your understanding of international trade really this simplistic? Here is a website showing ALL of the US's raw material exports to the entire world in 2016:U.S. raw materials are not being taken out of the country by Chinese companies like Africa’s raw materials are.-the US not only provides raw materials but also provides a market for manufactured chinese goods, does this make the US a chinese colony? lmao
▶︎ to provide a market for manufactured products of the “mother country”
I read that entire article, unsurprisingly the article you provided doesn't refute any of my points. Why is that? Why don't you bother directly refuting the points that I brought up?https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/new-colonization-china-building-enormous-self-sustaining-chinese-cities-all-over-is china forcing africa to accept chinese immigration on a large scale? Are there constant incidents where african nations are refusing to accept chinese immigration but are forced to accept chinese immigration by the chinese government at gunpoint? How hard is it to immigrate to many african countries anyways? I imagine the barrier to entry is significantly lower compared to immigrating to a first world country ergo many people could immigrate to africa if they wanted to but only the chinese are willing to.

What would make this point actually defining of colonization would only be if the immigration was militarily forced upon the africans and the african nations lacked any ability to regulate their own immigration policies. In that case it would be considered a point that supports colonization, otherwise this point is meaningless. In the absence of any kind of coercive military force promoting immigration then you could use this same point and apply it to any nation on earth that has expats in it (which is every nation on earth), therefore making this point completely useless. Lots of countries on earth are overcrowded, does this mean that any country that accepts their immigrants are now considered “colonies” of the overcrowded country that is sending out immigrants? Obviously not
LOL. What your saying is your own subjective opinion, it doesn't prove anything. The fact that a country is willing to invade a bunch of other countries doesn't somehow prove that there isn't a threat of another external imperial power that wants to invade the country that is willing to invade a bunch of other countries. The two factors are not actually inherently connected. In fact your claim is wrong on two levels:I just did. It makes no sense for a country to invade a bunch of other countries and weaken themselves militarily when there is an imperial power about to take them over. Ergo, Japan wasn’t in danger of being taken over.
so what you were saying was just conjecture that you pulled out of your ass and you can’t back up your point. Thats what I thought
I dont recall trying to consistently argue the angle that colonialism was the worst thing ever in and of itself, rather I've been trying to point out the hypocrisy of white nationalists for claiming to be against jewish supremacy and globalization etc while they simultaneously condone the west's own history of colonialism. Therefore your refutation falls flat. Like I said previously:It wasn’t as bad as you’re claiming. Pointing that out does not mean I think it was justified. If I thought it was justified, I would have said that colonization was a good thing because it lead to better infrastructure, literacy rates, GDP, etc. Instead, the argument I’m making is that while colonization did have some positive benefits (as previously listed), it was still wrong. Even a brainlet like you should be able to tell the difference between the two.
You obviously dont think that colonialism is as bad as youre claiming if you keep trying to point out the positive aspects about it.
Ironically youre the brainlet here because I already covered your entire refutation in my previous comment to you, apparently you were unable to understand the angle and logic behind it. It seems like you're claiming that white nationalists are trying to convince other people that white nationalists are actually against white supremacy and that they think that past western colonialism was wrong, however when white nationalists begin to make apologetic arguments about colonialism it makes themselves look extremely insincere about their supposed anti-colonialism stance. Its obvious that you don't really understand this, and that's why you continue to defend your right to defend colonialism and make apologetic arguments in favor of it. Like I said, this isn't really my problem, this is yours (and white nationalists in general's) problem. If you want to continue to destroy your own credibility and look like a hypocrite then go ahead, I won't stop you :)
hey man youre the one who’s making these pro-colonialism arguments not me. You obviously dont think that colonialism is as bad as youre claiming if you keep trying to point out the positive aspects about it. Just to make it clear, I understand that saying that there are positive aspects of X doesnt necessarily mean that you think it should have happened in the first place, but thats not whats really being discussed here. Whats happening here is that you’re trying to convince me and hypothetical others that youre against colonialism and that you think its wrong but then you keep making up excuses for colonialism and trying to point out the good aspects of it. In other words, you’re undermining your own credibility by doing this. You can get away with this kind of “logic” when you talk to other white nationalists but if you try to convince regular people with this logic then they’re going to tell you that youre full of shit. Im just letting you know for your own benefit lol, you’re free to do what you want to though. Also you were completely wrong about the claim below:
first generation asian americans tend to be particularly insular and ethnically oriented, second generation asian-americans tend to be less insular yet still somewhat ethnically oriented. This is the generation that seems to be the most "pan-asian" out of all the generations. 3rd generation non-biracial asian americans tend to be somewhat rare in my experience. The ones that I have met have never struck me as being particularly pan-asian oriented, if anything they just seemed extremely americanized and didn't particularly subscribe to an "asian" identity. Anecdotally speaking, the fact that 3rd generation non-biracial asian americans seem to be so rare would support the notion that asian americans do not strongly value a pan-racial identity or even an ethnic identity for that matter. If they did then they would not marry out so often. Its like I said, asian-americans do express some degree of pan-racial sentiment but it doesn't seem to overpower their desire to identify with their own particular ethnic identity, or even a broader "american" identity for that matter.
I guess it probably depends on what generation of immigrant they are.
so you missed the point. Not really surprising. Lets recap this entire argument:So Pan-Asian organizations want to establish an Asian United States that excludes the other races? Don’t make me laugh.
lol its a perfectly apt comparison:
-pan-asian organizations attempt to advocate for all asians in america
-white nationalist organizations attempt to advocate for all whites in america
Both organizations are attempting (keyword is attempt) to represent all people of X race, but that doesnt necessarily mean that they actually represent these races. My point is completely cogent, youre obviously the stupid one for not being able to understand this lol.
As you can see from the context of the argument, whats important is the fact that these racial advocacy organizations are attempting to represent entire races, what they are actually advocating is immaterial to the point that was being made. You clearly misunderstood this though and thought that the actual matter being advocated was somehow relevant to the point being made (hint, its not)lol its a perfectly apt comparison:No, that’s a false comparison because pan-Asian organizations and white nationalist organizations don’t advocate the same relative things. It’s amazing how stupid you are.
This is equivalent to pulling up a list of white nationalist organizations and claiming that it somehow represents how all whites feel. Its amazing how stupid you are
-pan-asian organizations attempt to advocate for all asians in america
-white nationalist organizations attempt to advocate for all whites in america
Both organizations are attempting (keyword is attempt) to represent all people of X race, but that doesnt necessarily mean that they actually represent these races. My point is completely cogent, youre obviously the stupid one for not being able to understand this lol.
I asked for data about the kind of neighborhoods that liberals live in, the video you posted was just talking about rich liberals:https://youtu.be/U8XJPwmX3jo
ok, do you have data showing where liberals tend to live? You’ve made a claim about rich whites, but rich whites are not the same as all liberals. Some or even many rich whites are liberal, but that’s not the same as saying that all liberals are rich whites. So do you have some data showing the kind of neighborhoods that liberals (and not just rich whites) tend to live in?
Oh and btw I looked up the demographics for all three of the "rich liberal" and "non-diverse" neighborhoods that were brought up in the video, surprisingly all of these neighborhoods actually have decent non-white populations.
It can artificially suppressed or forced to be masked through state propaganda and threat of social ostracization, but just look at where these “race-blind” liberals live and who they associate with. Racial identity is fundamental.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Upper_East_Side#Demographics
The racial/ethnic make-up of the neighborhood's population is as follows: 86.8% of the population is white, 2% black or African American, 4.1% Hispanic or Latino, 0.1% American Indian or Alaska Native, 5.3% Asian, 0.4% some other race/ethnicity, and 1.3% two or more races/ethnicities.[2]
https://statisticalatlas.com/neighborhood/District-of-Columbia/Washington/Kalorama/Race-and-Ethnicity
The racial makeup of the neighborhoods was 79% (173,711) White, 3.2% (7,098) African American, 0.1% (126) Native American, 8.6% (18,847) Asian, 0% (98) Pacific Islander, 0.3% (609) from other races, and 1.8% (3,868) from two or more races. Hispanic or Latino of any race was 7.1% (15,563) of the population. While the White population is a dominating majority in all three census tabulation areas, it is more so in Upper East Side-Carnegie Hill compared to Yorkville and Lenox Hill-Roosevelt Island, being close to 90% of the population.[3]
Like I said though, why dont you provide some data showing where regular liberals live? It shouldn't be that hard man, you suggested that race-blind liberals are actually hypocrites in terms of where they live, so surely you can prove it right?
77% white population
yeah, I have no idea what you were trying to prove with your picture lol. Are you this incompetent? You claimed the following:https://www.beyondblackwhite.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/ccdf7936df3057a214c692630d9c0c1b.jpg
can you prove this? Im not even claiming that this claim is wrong, but im curious if you provide facts to back it up or not.
You can infer from looking at blue states. And most of the interracial marriages in West Coast blue states involve Hispanics, some of whom are white.
Yet you cannot infer that interracial relationships among white liberals are still a tiny minority from this chart. Its impossible because the data that would be able to infer this simply doesn't exist on this chart. Why did you think that this somehow constituted evidence to prove your point? Even assuming that this chart somehow could prove your point with the data it provides (it cant) it still shows that blue states have interracial marriages rates anywhere from 10-25%, hardly a tiny minority.
Interracial relationships among white liberals are still a tiny minority.
Why are you dodging the point? what you wrote has nothing to do with my specific point. Im not sure why you think it somehow disproves it. You claimed the following:It’s what is commonly referred to as assimilation. And there is also ethnogenesis. Remember, Ethnic groups may be subdivided into subgroups or tribes, which over time may become separate ethnic groups themselves due to endogamy or physical isolation from the parent group. Conversely, formerly separate ethnicities can merge to form a pan-ethnicity and may eventually merge into one single ethnicity. Whether through division or amalgamation, the formation of a separate ethnic identity is referred to as ethnogenesis.
Ethnicity cannot be changed, it is a biological reality:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ethnogenesis
You clearly made the claim that ethnicity can be changed and that it is largely cultural, yet this is scientifically untrue. Ethnicity is a biological reality, just like race is. Once again i'll post the picture that I posted earlier:
Ethnicity can be changed, race can not. It is biological reality. That alone proves that race is the more important factor. Ethnicity is largely cultural.
your rambling response didn't answer what I wrote though. Different ethnicities actually chart differently on a genetic distance map, ethnicity is a real, biological phenomena. I notice that you were unable to answer the fact that people cannot simply change their genes and become a different ethnicity. You claimed that ethnicity can be changed and this is factually untrue.Look who is suddenly using ethnic groups and nationalities interchangeably. But the way I look at it, a person can belong to multiple levels of ethnic groups with some being more fundamental than others. For example, a black person from Alabama could be an American, an Alabaman, a Southerner, a black-American, etc. Those are all ethnic groups in my opinion. Or let’s say France. There are a lot of blacks in France that have been there for a long time. Are they French? I say yes. However, that doesn’t mean there aren’t the sub-ethnic groups of white-French and black-French, with white-French being the “real” French.
an ethnically spanish person cannot suddenly decide to change his ethnicity to swedish. A typical spaniard and a typical swede literally have different (yet similar) genomes. Do you think a person can just change their genes? LOL. You cannot just change your ethnicity. You clearly have a misunderstanding about this term. Do you really think there is no genetic difference between a spaniard and a swede? LOL
Thats cool, so youre admitting that you couldn't prove what I said was wrong:It wasn’t meant to. I was just pointing out how you seem to relish what Jews are doing to whites. It’s obvious in your writing.
so youve resorted to just responding with random, non-tangential nonsense. I guess if this is how you want to cope with being proven wrong then so be it. Not sure how saying: “Ah, your true hatred of whites is revealing itself. ” proves anything I said wrong.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1.you indeed were wrong in your original assertion where you forgot about the context in which the viking example was given. So you were wrong, there is no arguing about this.
2.what youre saying is still autistic bullshit that doesnt apply in the real world. Which is why vikings had no problems fucking up anglosaxons; the vikings could give a rats ass about your opinion that them invading the anglosaxons was racially self-destructive. This just goes to show how delusional and detached from reality you are; you persist in believing in your non-sense even though it doesnt reflect real world conditions. The jews OTOH exist in reality and are very pragmatic, they dont delude themselves with nonsense like you do, I can see why they’re winning and white nationalists are losing.
it doesnt matter what you think, what I wrote is still true. Your thinking doesn't reflect how the real world operatesI still think it’s worse, or at least, no different to attack your own race than to attack other races. It’s like how attacking a cousin would be worse than attacking a stranger. It’s certainly not better to attack your own race like you were arguing.
yeah and “what is” is the fact that the vikings had no problems fucking up the anglo-saxons even though this act is “racially self-destructive” lol. The point? Your logic about racially similar people attacking each other being self destructive is basically mental masturbation that has zero influence on how people choose to act in the real world.
you see? your aggressor argument completely falls apart since you can't prove that there is an objective basis for the concept of proportionality. That's the entire point, your reasoning underlying your idea that who the aggressor is depends on the proportionality of their actions is entirely subjective. Its basically your opinion and nothing more, it has no basis in reality. Reality doesn't care about your concept of who the aggressor is based upon the proportionality of a reaction. Disproportionate reactions to events happen all the time, that doesn't suddenly make the reacting party "the aggressor". The funny thing is, you were the one who insisted on bringing out your ridiculous "aggressor" argument in the first place. I was the one who continually told you that it was a poor argument yet you insisted on using it, and now look, you can't even defend your own argument anymore. I posted this before but you ignored it. Its worth noting that even the dictionary proves you wrong:
I’m not going to get sucked into some metaphysical debate about the nature of justice with you. Suffice to say, pretty much every civilized society has some notion of what constitutes appropriate punishments for various crimes and what is “going too far.”
Im not sure why you think an aggressor would be anything but what is described in this definition. Do you not know what the word "aggressor" means?
a person or country that starts an argument, fight, or war by attacking first
You've repeatedly suggested that jews are trying to attack whites and you claim that jews are the aggressors against whites, but in order to verify your claim we would have to see who attacked each other first; did the jews attack whites first or did the whites attack jews first? If whites really did attack the jews first during the jewish-roman wars then this makes whites the aggressors against jews, period. The schism between jews and whites began somewhere and it could very well have been the jewish-roman wars. Remember what the definition of aggressor is:Gentile whites and Romans are not the same thing. If the Romans were the aggressors, Jews should be targeting Italians specifically, and even then they would still be the aggressors for going way beyond proportionality.
I was explaining in an objective, unopinionated sense the possible genesis of the schism between jews and gentile whites. You wanted to claim that jews are the aggressors but actually gentile whites might have been the true aggressors. If thats the case then jews are no longer the aggressors anymore. This point has nothing to do with assigning guilt or blame to people, its solely about demonstrating in an objective sense who the aggressors could be on a macro, cultural scale.
If you insist on discussing jews and whites in a broad racial sense (which you have been) then it appears that whites are quite likely the aggressor when it comes to the schism between whites and jews because whites literally attacked jews first during the jewish-roman wars. You can't disprove this, its literally true. That being said, I think your whole aggressor concept is silly to begin with
a person or country that starts an argument, fight, or war by attacking first
https://dictionary.cambridge.org/us/dictionary/english/aggressorIt may have started with the Jewish-Roman wars, but that doesn’t mean the Jews have not become the aggressors through disproportionate and indiscriminate targeting of whites who had nothing to with the Romans.
The key word here is escalation; the schism between the jews and the west may have started with the jewish-roman wars and then it just evolved and escalated from there. You do know what schism means right? It kind of seems like maybe you don’t understand the argument that is being made here…
you can accuse the jews of being many things, but you cannot factually call them the aggressor assuming that the schism began with the jewish-roman wars. Like I said, your whole concept of who the aggressor is is poorly supported, and proportionality has nothing to do with who the aggressor is.
a person or country that starts an argument, fight, or war by attacking first
why do you continue to misdirect? You were wrong on two counts (actually three). I will list them out again for you:It’s good that you admit that whites have changed and when whites get our ethnostate, a return to white supremacy is unlikely. And let’s put it this way, the reason why whites gave up their colonies may not have been out of goodwill, but goodwill is the reason why we haven’t taken our colonies back even though we could. As for that “thanking the Jews argument”, Jews may have helped end white supremacy, but they are also responsible for white genocide. There is a middle ground they could have argued for, and it’s called ethnonationalism.
As you can see im very clearly acknowledging the fact that whites have changed, therefore your assertion that im somehow deflecting and trying to argue that whites havent changed is factually wrong. So, lets go over this one more time. There are two arguments here:
1.you being wrong about the reasons why whites gave up colonialism
2.you claiming that im deflecting about whites having changed their views about colonialism
you’re trying that claim that I was avoiding argument #2 since you were under the impression that I was denying that point however it turns out that we had already discussed this back as early as comment #285, therefore your assertion that im denying that whites have changed and that im trying to deflect from this argument are both wrong. Secondly, you are still deflecting and trying to avoid argument #1; you wanted to claim that whites gave up colonialism out of goodwill and it turns out that you were factually wrong about this.
the one flailing is you. Here is the definition again:I can’t believe you’re still trying to dig yourself out of this one. Look at the other definitions. You can tell what they mean by “dominant.” Just stop, this flailing is cringy.
Keep in mind that the meaning of the word dominant is not equal to the meaning of the word dominate. If you don’t believe me then go and look up the definition of dominant for yourself lol. This definition of white supremacy doesn’t say anything about whites actively dominating/controlling others, it just talks about whites being dominant in society.
If I was flailing then I wouldn't bother reposting the definition. Remember, you didn't understand what a comparative statement was for two weeks (comment #383), so why should I have any faith that you would be able to properly understand what dominant means in this context either? Oh and I noticed that you completely ignored the fact that on the very same page it provides this definition of white supremacy:
the belief, theory, or doctrine that white people are inherently superior to people from all other racial and ethnic groups, especially Black people, and are therefore rightfully the dominant group in any society.
I posted this in my last comment but you didn't address it. This alone proves you wrong, I can see why you chose to ignore it.
the theory or belief that White people are innately superior to people of other races
I claimed from the beginning that there are multiple definitions of white supremacy, the fact that there are indeed multiple definitions of white supremacy proves me right. The very definition that you yourself posted had four different definitions of white supremacy; you were claiming that there was only one definition of white supremacy, therefore you're wrong. If there were not multiple definitions of white supremacy then why would the very source that you claim is legit (adl.org) list four different definitions of white supremacy?The very first definition is the actual definition, the definition that everyone talking about white supremacy uses. You can clearly see this by looking at the other mainstream sources I posted, not your backwater sites.
Ironically you just proved your own point wrong again by posting the adl.org definition; I was actually the first one to post this definition (comment #402)
youre completely wrong about this. Once again, you demonstrate your lack of integrity by refusing to admit that you were incorrect about this. Also I noticed you completely ignored the definitions of supremacy that I posted:
White supremacy is a term used to characterize various belief systems central to which are one or more of the following key tenets: 1) whites should have dominance over people of other backgrounds, especially where they may co-exist; 2) whites should live by themselves in a whites-only society; 3) white people have their own "culture" that is superior to other cultures; 4) white people are genetically superior to other people. As a full-fledged ideology, white supremacy is far more encompassing than simple racism or bigotry. Most white supremacists today further believe that the white race is in danger of extinction due to a rising “flood” of non-whites, who are controlled and manipulated by Jews, and that imminent action is need to “save” the white race.
the word white supremacy can have different meanings, it doesnt always mean to dominate or control others.
Both of the sources that you provided and claimed were credible have definitions of white supremacy which are congruent with the definition of white supremacy that I was originally using. Its like I said, there are multiple definitions of white supremacy. Since you seem so confused about this, maybe you should break down the term “white supremacy” and try to see what the word “supreme” by itself actually means:
https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/supreme
su·preme | \ sə-ˈprēm , sü- \
Definition of supreme
1: highest in rank or authority
the supreme commander
2: highest in degree or quality
supreme endurance in war and in labour
— R. W. Emerson
3: ULTIMATE, FINAL
the supreme sacrifice
Supreme is oftentimes used to mean the highest or the best; notice that the definition of supreme says nothing about dominating others? The concept of dominating others when it comes to the usage of the word “supremacy” in the context of the term “white supremacy” is a secondarily derived implied meaning, the actual definition of supremacy has nothing to do with literally dominating others:
https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/supremacy
Definition of supremacy
: the quality or state of being supreme
also : supreme authority or power
https://www.dictionary.com/browse/supremacy
supremacy[ suh-prem-uh-see, soo- ]
the state of being supreme.
supreme authority or power.
once again I will provide the definintion of hypocrisy:Damn, you really are a brainlet that can’t comprehend any nuance.
This is the very definition of hypocrisy though. You are claiming that white nationalists are anti-colonialism but this is incongruent with white nationalists going and make excuses for colonialism (either japanese colonialism like you were doing earlier or past colonialism done by the west).
You claim that white nationalists are anti-colonialism but then you go and make excuses for past instances of colonialism. Do you not understand what hypocrisy means? If you were really anti-colonialism then you wouldn't bother trying so hard to make excuses for or rationalize past instances of colonialism. Your behavior is contradicting what you claim to believe or feel.
Definition of hypocrisy
1: a feigning to be what one is not or to believe what one does not : behavior that contradicts what one claims to believe or feel
His hypocrisy was finally revealed with the publication of his private letters.
especially : the false assumption of an appearance of virtue or religion
our conventional morality often serves as a cover for hypocrisy and selfishness
— Lucius Garvin
Its funny watching you try to craft your reply in a melodramatic manner that it makes me look like im being unreasonable towards you. Everything I wrote was extremely reasonable, you and I both know that. The only reason why you try to exaggerate the thrust of my argument and make it look unreasonable is because you don't want to admit that I brought up some very reasonable and valid points.I admit that the genocide of the amerindians was wrong. I wish it could have been done differently, but somehow I doubt it could have. And if it couldn’t, I would basically have to argue that my entire country shouldn’t exist, that its founding is illegitimate. That’s not something I’m willing to do, and if that makes me a hypocrite, so be it. I think the U.S. is a good thing born out of a bad act. Yet, this accusation of hypocrite is disingenuous because it is only ever applied to whites. Many modern countries were founded on conquest and also oppose colonialism as official policy today. Yet no one would call any of them hypocrites for resisting a genocide today.
Im not really sure what the issue here is. You’re a white nationalist who claims to be anti-colonialism but then you make up excuses and defend past instances of colonialism. That makes you a hypocrite per the definition above. If you just stop condoning past instances of colonialism then you can condemn jewish supremacy without being a hypocrite. Alternately if you retract your claim that you’re anti-colonialism then you can also condemn jewish supremacy without being a hypocrite. Im not really sure why you’re so bothered by me (correctly) calling you a hypocrite. Its just a term, if you’re a hypocrite then you’re a hypocrite, it is what it is.
I think there is a bit of a misunderstanding here, let me clarify what’s going on here. Nobody is saying that you’re not allowed to resist your racial displacement; whether you choose to resist or not has nothing to do with whether or not youre guilty of hypocrisy. When we are discussing hypocrisy we’re talking about things on a rhetorical level. When I claim that you’re a hypocrite for your contradictory stances with regards to colonialism this is not the same as me saying that you’re not allowed to resist your displacement. I’m merely calling you a hypocrite because you are, but im not telling you what you’re allowed or not allowed to do in terms of actual actions.
I never applied this reasoning only to whites. We are discussing whites because they are tangential to the conversation. You're a hypocrite for resisting "genocide" because you continue to defend and make up excuses for past instances of genocide against other people, its that simple. Once you stop defending and making up excuses for past instances of genocide against other people then you will no longer be a hypocrite for resisting "genocide" today. I don't see why you don't understand this, its a really simple compromise.
Yet, this accusation of hypocrite is disingenuous because it is only ever applied to whites. Many modern countries were founded on conquest and also oppose colonialism as official policy today. Yet no one would call any of them hypocrites for resisting a genocide today.
exactly, like the way that you argue. I haven't said anything particularly effeminate so im not sure why you tried to accuse me of doing that.I’m just saying, some phrases are more effeminate than others.
what would I be ashamed of? im not the one acting effeminate, you are lol. You do realize that I know what you’re doing right? Just because you project on to me and claim that im doing a certain thing doesn’t make it true, you and I both know that. Kind of sad that you have to resort to non-sensical mindgames when its clear that you can’t refute something
yeah, this entire debate pretty muchI know no such thing. 🙂
lol, I have no reason to be “salty” though. You’re the one who keeps getting his arguments destroyed. You and I both know that LOL
supposedly jew-wise white nationalists literally went and voted for a zionist candidate. The fact that you (and other white nationalists) are unable to understand that (((trump))) is an obvious trap and psyop just demonstrates how gullible white nationalists are and how easily they can be manipulated. The fact that you think voting still matters says a lot as well, your vote is meaningless. Why else do you think they only give you two choices? You're being corralled like cattleWhat you wrote wasn’t relevant to what we were discussing. First of all, voting for Trump in the hope that he would keep his immigration promises was the obvious right choice when Hillary was the other. Second of all, the amount of white nationalists that marry Asians is virtually zero. Any that do are probably not white nationalists but race realist conservatives or libertarians.
why didnt you answer what I wrote before?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/No_true_Scotsman
Second of all, the amount of white nationalists that marry Asians is virtually zero. Any that do are probably not white nationalists but race realist conservatives or libertarians.
yes you did. You literally said this in comment #425:
I never claimed to speak for all white nationalists. I just know what white nationalism is and what it isn’t far better than you do. I also know what the majority of white nationalists believe about colonization and slavery from my interactions with them. I don’t know of a single one that wants them brought back. Sorry man, that’s just reality.
Like I said, you don't speak for all white nationalists. White nationalists already went and voted for an openly zionist candidate, you have no idea what else they would do in the future. You don't speak for all white nationalists.Based on what they believe now, I do.
You don’t speak for all white nationalists and secondly you don’t know how or what they would do in the future under different circumstances.
Why try to weasel out of this? Your own logic proved you wrong, there's nothing to debate about, its extremely straightforward. You claimed that china was never colonized:
The colonialism is colonialism statement was referring to Chinese colonizing of Tibet, Vietnam, and Xinjiang. Context. What China is doing in Africa is not the same as what the British or Commodore Perry did. Forcing trade is not the same as purchasing assets and territory from corrupt leaders and using debt-trap diplomacy to take over.
(comment #425)
Okay, but China was still never colonized. And the existence of mass migrations predates European colonialism.
(comment #417)
No, I never was trying to conflate them. That is a strawman. I merely asked if you supported what they were doing there as it is clear they are engaging in a form of colonialism. You have never addressed the fact that there are many ways to engage in colonialism.
The comments that you previously posted (comments #417 and #423) make a clear argument for the fact that china was colonized according to your own standards. Therefore you are wrong about the fact that china was never colonized, there is no way to deny this.
https://www.thefreedictionary.com/Economic+colonialism
The policy or practice of a wealthy or powerful nation in extending its influence into a less developed one, especially in exploiting that nation's resources.
actually what the british and commodore perry did was worse than what china is doing. China hasnt used military force to force africans into trading with them. Therefore what the british and american did would be considered an even stronger act of colonialism than what the chinese are (supposedly) doing. No matter how you want to cut it, this is factually what happened: britain and the US, two wealthy and powerful nations (forcefully) extended their influence onto two less developed nations (china and japan). This fits exactly with the definition of colonization that you provided.
What China is doing in Africa is not the same as what the British or Commodore Perry did. Forcing trade is not the same as purchasing assets and territory from corrupt leaders and using debt-trap diplomacy to take over.
I have to blockquote everything because otherwise you will try to use deception and misdirection to try to make your points or avoid admitting that you were proved wrong on things. Additionally I blockquote so that other people reading this can clearly follow along with the discussion and understand the points that I am making, this allows them to better understand who is right and who is wrong between us. If I was unsure of my points and trying to obfuscate things then I wouldn't bother blockquoting so much. Anyways, I don't want to have to blockquote everything but you basically force me to do so since you refuse to argue ethnically and honestly. Tellingly you didn't even bother to address the original point that was being made, instead you tried to slide past it by bringing up the fact that I blockquote things. You're ironically forcing me to blockquote again to get you to stay on topic:I just don’t blockquote everything to try and make these posts not as ridiculously long.
what I wrote makes perfect sense when put in context. You just have to remove things from context because you lack more substantial arguments or ways of disproving my points lol. Notice how I dont have to resort to doing that? Its because I actually have good arguments, you dont
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------once again, you don’t know what would happen. Anything you say is basically conjecture since the course of the world would be so different in an alternate reality. Notice how you have to resort to hypothetical situations and assuming things in order to prop up your point? That’s evidence that your original point couldnt stand on its own lol. The west forced east asia to open up and as a result this opened up the floodgates for millions of asian immigrants to come later on down the road. Even if modern technology existed in an alternate universe this doesnt mean that the political/geopolitical conditions for millions of east asian immigrants to come to the west would still exist. Its funny how you were completely BTFO on this point; in our current reality (not the hypothetical reality you like to run off to) the millions of east asian immigrants in the west are a direct result of the west forcing east asia to open up. There is absolutely no debate about this or a way to prove it wrong. The only thing you can resort to is trying to use an alternate version of history to back up your point, how weak is that?
Also, assuming modern technology progresses the same way, I highly doubt all of East Asia would remain isolated, like a bunch of North Koreas or something.
actually I read that article before writing out my response lol. If that article did disprove my point then I wouldn't have made my point in the first place. Let me break it down for you:Immigrants to Spain tend to be from South America and very European.
yeah you are factually wrong. You claimed that the largest foreign populations there were from moroccans and other european immigrants and it turns out that the largest foreign population group is from their former colonies. You were completely wrong about this
secondly, does spain genetically test the immigrants coming from its former colonies? How do you know they’re white spaniards and not mixed race? Im actually really interested in knowing whether or not you can back up what you said. Where is your information about this? Can you provide actual statistics about this? If you cant then you need to admit that you can’t back up your claim.
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3138504/
I've not only read the entire article before but I also 'ctrl+f'ed the word "european" and it only came back with three hits, the only relevant one was the third result which I have provided above. The above quote clearly states that immigrants from argentina, chile and uruguay tend to be very european, it doesn't say anything about latin-american immigrants from south america as a whole. If it was referring to latin-american immigrants from south america as a whole being predominately european then it would have explicitly stated that in the same way that they explicitly stated that immigrants from mexico and central america tend to be mestizo. Its clear that you didn't really bother to understand exactly what was being said and you just assumed that this study was fully supporting your point when actually it wasnt.
Finally there is the issue of physical appearance and discrimination. Evidence does seem to suggest that immigrants who are racially different experience an economic disadvantage in both Spain (Sole and Parella, 2003) and the United States (Hirsch, 2008). Although the NIS included an independent measure of skin tone, the ENI did not, making it impossible to investigate this factor comparatively. Immigrants from places such as Argentina, Chile, and Uruguay tend to be very European, whereas immigrants from Mexico and Central America tend to be mestizo, and immigrants from the Caribbean are often of mixed African origins. Differing geographic selectivity between Spain and the United States also implies differing racial selectivity, so that some of the observed disadvantage of being from Central America or the Caribbean could reflect differences in treatment based on skin color or physical appearance, and not regional background per se.
You wanted to claim that the number of non-white immigrants from their former colonies is negligible in spain, yet it turns out that even when using the whitest latin-american immigrants mentioned in the study, returning white spaniards still only constitute an estimated 18% of all latin-american immigrants to spain, you still have to account for the race of the other 82% of latin-american immigrants. The race of other south-american immigrants to spain cannot be inferred from this study. Why didn't you bother at least trying to research this before trying to refute my claim? Most likely a very large proportion (the majority?) of latin-american immigrants to spain are mestizos to some degree or another.
I’m not factually wrong. The number of non-white immigrants from their former colonies is negligible in Spain. Returning white Spaniards doesn’t count. It’s like white Brits returning from Nigeria or India. 25% (or even 5%) of Spain’s population is definitely not mestizo or Amerindian. All of this is rather beside the point, modern mass immigration is only possible because modern governments allow it.
you misunderstood this figure, but thats not surprising. The 25% figure (10-11 million) is referring to ALL immigrants, not just immigrants from latin-america. Therefore your claim that 25% of spain's population not being mestizo or amerindian falls flat, your argument was based on a misunderstanding of what you read. Can you provide proof that non-white immigrants from former colonies in spain are only a neglible amount of the immigrants? If you cant then you need to admit that you cant back up your claim.
25% (or even 5%) of Spain’s population is definitely not mestizo or Amerindian. All of this is rather beside the point, modern mass immigration is only possible because modern governments allow it.
This is true that some form of globalization would have probably been inevitable. However this was never in dispute. Why be deceptive about this? Your angle regarding you arguing that globalization would have happened anyways was you trying to claim that mass immigration was inevitable, you were never really trying to argue about globalization in the sense that you're now discussing it. I already acknowledged that globalization in some form could have happened multiple times throughout this debate so its disingenous for you to act like you're somehow proving me wrong.True when put that way. “Globalism” in the broad sense of a world connected through trade and technology isn’t necessarily though.
The specific, modern iteration of globalization that we now know is directly connected to western colonization.
. (comment #409)
I never denied that technology would have brought the world much closer together in the absence of globalism, but technology does not automatically mean that mass immigration would happen
yup and thus far you have been trying to argue against the fact that western colonization helped allow modern mass-immigration to come into existence. You keep arguing that in a hypothetical alternative timeline that mass immigration would have happened anyways but this is unprovable. Just because mass immigration can happen without a framework of colonialism doesn't mean that mass immigration would have definitely happened in an alternative timeline where western colonialism had never occurred. The entire reason that you brought up your alternate globalization timeline in the first place was because you were trying to dispute the fact that western colonialism was crucial in helping to bring about the conditions under which mass immigration could happen in the first place. The truth is, the modern globalization (and mass immigration) that we know is directly connected to western colonialism, had western colonialism never happened then reality would be completely different. There is no way to argue against this, this is why you have to resort to talking about hypothetical scenarios instead of discussing real history that actually happened..
Im not sure why you thought your claim about mass migrations predating european colonialism was somehow a suitable argument
It just shows that mass immigration can happen without a framework of colonialism.
it depends on their view of the morality of conquest; if they dont have an opinion of it being inherently moral or immoral then they can try to fight it and resist it all they want without being hypocrites. Remember what the definition of hypocrisy is:Then I guess pretty much any racial or ethnic group that exists today would be hypocrites for protesting their own genocide since their own existence is probably predicated on the conquest of some other group at some point in time. And virtually no one will admit that they shouldn’t exist. According to you, that means they’re condoning conquest.
If a non-murderer claims that it is wrong for someone to try to murder him but then condones and makes excuses for his ancestor murdering people then it makes him a hypocrite period. The non-murderer is essentially claiming that murder is wrong but then engaging in behavior which condones murder. This is contradictory behavior. Whether or not the murders were necessary to bring the non-murderer into existence has no bearing on whether or not the non-murderer is a hypocrite.
If you don't have any particular ethical convictions about the concept of colonialism in the first place then you aren't a hypocrite for fighting against yourself being colonized. Remember, the key component of hypocrisy is what one claims to believe or feel, without that standard of belief or feeling, there can be no hypocrisy.
a feigning to be what one is not or to believe what one does not : behavior that contradicts what one claims to believe or feel
how can you say that for sure though? just earlier you were claiming that you don't speak for all white nationalists LOLThat’s fine. We dislike you too.
Either way I dont really care, like I said, my bone to pick isnt with whites, I just dislike white nationalists.
like I said:Nigerian-American is an ethnic group. American-Japanese would be an ethnic group. Spanish-Japanese would be an ethnic group. If you look at the above definition, ethnicity is a really broad concept.
technically nigerian-american would be considered a “double nationality”. This is because the term “nigerian” refers to a civic-nationality designation which encompasses a bunch of different ethnic groups; this is not just my opinion but this is actually according to the wikipedia definition itself. This would be the same as if there was an emigrant community of americans (of all different races) who settled in japan. Would these so-called “american-japanese” be considered an ethnic group? According to this definition of ethnicity they could not be considered an ethnic group since they are from different races/ethnicities, although if there was an emigrant community of actual, genetically spanish people then we could consider these “spanish-japanese” as an ethnic group. Here’s another example of a “double nationality”:
according to the definition of ethnicity that I provided american-japanese could not be considered an ethnic group, although under other definitions of ethnicity you could possibly consider them an ethnic group but this runs contrary to how the term ethnicity is typically used. When somebody talks about british-americans as an ethnic group (and not a nationality) people immediately think about white, indigenous british people, people don't think about jamaican or chinese british people. The concept of ethnicity being used as a broad, transracial identifier is not that common from what ive seen. Im willing to admit though that beyond the colloquial level, ethnicity can be a broad concept although I disagree with its usage in certain contexts and I think there are more suitable words which can be used instead. I suspect that the (recent) confusion in nomenclature is due to politically correct thinking distorting the original meaning of ethnicity. See below:

Another influential theoretician of ethnicity was Fredrik Barth, whose "Ethnic Groups and Boundaries" from 1969 has been described as instrumental in spreading the usage of the term in social studies in the 1980s and 1990s.[26] Barth went further than Weber in stressing the constructed nature of ethnicity. To Barth, ethnicity was perpetually negotiated and renegotiated by both external ascription and internal self-identification. Barth's view is that ethnic groups are not discontinuous cultural isolates or logical a priority to which people naturally belong. He wanted to part with anthropological notions of cultures as bounded entities, and ethnicity as primordialist bonds, replacing it with a focus on the interface between groups. "Ethnic Groups and Boundaries", therefore, is a focus on the interconnectedness of ethnic identities. (bold) Barth writes: "... categorical ethnic distinctions do not depend on an absence of mobility, contact, and information, but do entail social processes of exclusion and incorporation whereby discrete categories are maintained despite changing participation and membership in the course of individual life histories."
The original meaning of ethnicity is much more in tune with the concept of ethnicity that I have been using. The concept of ethnicity that you have been using is more of a modern, sanitized, politically correct version of it. I find this ironic because you are nominally against things like race denial:
Different approaches to understanding ethnicity have been used by different social scientists when trying to understand the nature of ethnicity as a factor in human life and society. As Jonathan M. Hall observes, World War II was a turning point in ethnic studies. The consequences of Nazi racism discouraged essentialist interpretations of ethnic groups and race. Ethnic groups came to be defined as social rather than biological entities. Their coherence was attributed to shared myths, descent, kinship, a commonplace of origin, language, religion, customs, and national character. So, ethnic groups are conceived as mutable rather than stable, constructed in discursive practices rather than written in the genes.[29]

What do neoliberal globalism, Jewish ethnic hatred, racial egalitarianism (promoted by Boas), the idea that “diversity is our greatest strength,” or capital’s desire for cheap labor have to do with the legacy of colonialism? Your analysis is facile.
like I said:
Yes, they are both ethnic Russians. But they are also white Russians and Central Asian Russians.
people generally use the term ethnicity to refer to the genetic background of somebody as opposed to their national origin. Granted, this is not the only way that ethnicity can be used but it is the most common way. This is why I prefaced my argument with the adverb "generally". I noticed that you cut off the most pertinent part of the definition btw, ill post the entire thing again:
Could you really consider both the women in these pictures an “ethnic russian”? People generally use the term ethnicity to refer to the genetic background of somebody as opposed to their national origin. Obviously these two pictures show people of two distinct ethnicities, it wouldnt make sense to consider them as the same ethnicity nor would the majority of people think of it that way either. Once again its important to consider the crucial aspect of what is considered an ethnicity:
according to the definition of ethnic group on wikipedia, ethnicity tends to be defined by things like shared ancestry, physical appearance and share a similar gene pool. Why did you omit this part? Obviously these two sets of women do not have shared ancestry, nor do they have a similar physical appearance and nor do they share a similar gene pool. Therefore, most people would not consider them the same ethnicity. I understand you are trying to apply a very broad level of ethnicity, which is not necessarily incorrect but its usage would be considered unusual and reeks of "politically correctness"

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ethnic_group
Ethnicity is usually an inherited status based on the society in which one lives. Membership of an ethnic group tends to be defined by a shared cultural heritage, ancestry, origin myth, history, homeland, language or dialect, symbolic systems such as religion, mythology and ritual, cuisine, dressing style, art or physical appearance. Ethnic groups often continue to speak related languages and share a similar gene pool. By way of language shift, acculturation, adoption and religious conversion.
Yup, like I said:They are both ethnic groups. Just read any article talking about Nigerian-Americans, and it will refer to them as an ethnic group. Non-Americans definitely see Americans as our own ethnic group, regardless as race.
so to answer your question, nigerian-american isnt an ethnic group, any more than american is an ethnic group. “Nigeria” has only existed as a single, unified state since 1914, its basically a “fake” nation. The only reason why people might refer to nigerians as an ethnic group is out of expediency and/or due to ignorance. Most importantly, the notion of a “hyphenated-american” doesn’t always refer to an ethnic group like you were suggesting, it can refer to a nationality as well:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyphenated_American#Usage_of_the_hyphen
a particular race of people, or the fact of being from a particular race of people:
Ethnicity is not considered when reviewing applications.
Our students have many different nationalities, religions, and ethnicities.
However I do concede that there are multiple usages of the term ethnicity. I never denied this, although I was more concerned with your insistence that the term ethnicity has no biological connotations, which is what you suggested when you posted this earlier:

(comment #417)
Ethnicity can be changed, race can not. It is biological reality. That alone proves that race is the more important factor. Ethnicity is largely cultural.
there are two things to consider here:
Non-Americans definitely see Americans as our own ethnic group, regardless as race.
I never denied that there are different levels of ethnicity, although I disagree with your application of it since it runs contrary to how I see the majority of people apply it and it strikes me as being a vehicle for political influence
Yes, there is arbitrariness. There is also different levels of ethnicity and people can belong to multiple ethnicities. Some ethnic groups can be “stronger” or more fundamental than others.
yeah well that's not the meaning of synonymWhen the dictionary site listed the other words as synonyms, I took it that they were related concepts not that they actually mean the same thing.
btw what did you mean by this? You said that nation is listed a synonym of race, but then you claimed that this doesnt mean that nation and race can be used interchangeably. You never answered this, do you know what a synonym is?

ok :)No, I just meant that nationality and ethnicity are more interchangeable than race and ethnicity (which is not at all). Like I said, I’ve never heard of someone saying the “Russian race” or “Yoruban race” or “Han race.” If you want to know what race is, look at that image I posted of some of the different European caucasoid sub-races.
oh…so now you admit that ethnicity and race can be interchangeable sometimes, but earlier you were claiming that ethnicity and race are not interchangeable. Looks like you have finally admitted you were wrong

With China’s new prominence in global affairs, the Han race, which constitutes 90 percent of the Chinese population, is suddenly the most dominant cohesive ethnic group in the world — and it is seeking to remain that way through strategic alliances, aggressive trade policy, and attacks on racial minorities within the country’s boundaries. The less tribally cohesive, more fragmented West is, meanwhile, losing out.

You're just describing your actions, you starting to say white nationalists instead of just whites is not the same as you explicitly clarifying that you had made a typo. Why try to sidestep this? You claimed that you explicitly clarified that you made a typo yet you never did this. Therefore you're wrong about this#389 was when I started saying white nationalists like I meant to instead of just whites.
You claimed that you had explicitly clarified that you had made a typo in comment #389 but you didn’t. If you didn’t explicitly clarify that you had made a typo then why did you claim that you did so in comment #389?
so you can't find where I specifically made that claim, gotchaIt was obvious from what you posted. Your hatred of whites oozes from your writing.
so you can’t find where I specifically made that claim, I mean we’ve both known this for weeks now. Its hilarious watching you squirm about this, we both know that you can’t find where I made the claim
I already addressed this, why did you ignore it? Proportionality has nothing to do with who the aggressor is.How can you not understand the concept of proportionality? Let’s say you kill my dog, and I respond by enslaving you entire family for multiple generations. At some point, I became the aggressor.
As I suggested above, the most important thing is the fact that had the prime minister lu jia acted differently and allowed himself to be arrested by the emperor of the han dynasty then the entire situation could have been avoided, instead he decided to murder both the queen dowager jiu and the king AND declared war on the han dynasty. Its quite obvious that in this situation the prime minister lu jia made some poor decisions and his actions qualify the state of nanyue as the “aggressor”.
If I kill your dog and you respond by enslaving my entire family for multiple generations then your actions might be harsh but it still doesnt make you the aggressor.
Just because a response seems out of proportion to you doesn’t change the fact of who the aggressor is. I hope you realize that. If tom and jerry get into an argument and tom slaps jerry and then jerry pulls out a gun and shoots tom in the head then tom is still the aggressor. Jerry’s response might be out of proportion, but that doesn’t change who the aggressor is. Im sorry but your whole argument about who the aggressor is and isnt is silly and a weak argument, that’s why you keep having to change the goalposts with your “aggressor” argument. I sort of get the feeling that you don’t really know what the word “aggressor” means…
Also I noticed you didnt respond to what else I wrote about proportionality. Since you feel that the concept of proportionality is so important to your "aggressor" argument then you need to explain to me what is the fundamental "law" that undergirds your idea of proportionality. Proportionality doesnt objectively exist, its only a subjective notion. Can you provide some proof that there is a fundamental "law" or "force" which makes your notion of proportionality objectively enforceable? If you cannot prove that the concept of proportionality both objectively exists and is able to be enforceable then your arguments relying on the concept of proportionality cannot be used to credibly support your "aggressor" argument anyways. At that point your argument of "proportionality" only becomes a matter of opinion instead of the objective and enforceable law that youre trying to argue it is. See below:
a person or country that starts an argument, fight, or war by attacking first
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Furthermore you seem really bluepilled with your concept of how you think a response should be “proportional”. Is there some cosmic law which upholds this idea? Or is this just your own subjective, personal reasoning? Just because you think that a response should be proportional doesn’t mean that reality will conform with this idea. Please tell me, what is the fundamental force which backs up your belief that a response should be proportional? Reality and history are full of situations where one action leads to a disproportionate response. Take for example the assassination of archduke franz ferdinand, an entire world war killing millions upon millions of people all began with a single murder. According to your logic, this would be a disproportionate response however…that’s not how reality works. There is no cosmic law or force which demands that all actions should deserve a proportional response. Reality is complex, unexpected and oftentimes unfair. The fact that you seem to believe that a response to a given action should be proportional just goes to show how out of touch with reality your thinking is. Your thinking is just as loony and out of touch with reality as a liberal’s thinking is.
you didnt address the point though. And my point has nothing to do with holding future generations responsible for the actions of past generations. See below:See above. And holding future generations responsible for the actions of past generations is inherently unjust.
Even the greatest conflicts start somewhere and somehow. The schism between the jews and the west started at some point and escalated from there, its entirely possible that that event was the jewish-roman wars. Its disingenuous for you to act like im literally claiming that jews’ current actions are a direct response to romans overthrowing their temple. I suspect you know this too but you were just grasping for any argument to use, no matter how tenuous it was.
I was explaining in an objective, unopinionated sense the possible genesis of the schism between jews and gentile whites. You wanted to claim that jews are the aggressors but actually gentile whites might have been the true aggressors. If thats the case then jews are no longer the aggressors anymore. This point has nothing to do with assigning guilt or blame to people, its solely about demonstrating in an objective sense who the aggressors could be on a macro, cultural scale.
I stated that its possible that the jewish-roman wars could have been what started the initial schism between jews and the west; what the jews are currently doing to the west is not a direct response to the romans overthrowing their temple but rather the result of a long back and forth between jews and gentile whites which possibly began with the romans overthrowing the jews’ temple. Its amazing how poor your ability is to understand how events and situations incrementally unfold and evolve in real life.
Unfortunately your response misses the mark because I wasn't ever claiming that the modern west is beholden to the actions of the roman empire. Read what I wrote again very very carefully:It still doesn’t change the fact that the modern West shouldn’t be beholden to the actions of the Roman Empire.
medieval western christendom (the direct predecessor to the modern west) came from the roman empire. Therefore your implication that im wrong about this is actually incorrect. Do you not even know the history of the west? lol
The key word here is escalation; the schism between the jews and the west may have started with the jewish-roman wars and then it just evolved and escalated from there. You do know what schism means right? It kind of seems like maybe you don't understand the argument that is being made here...

I suspect you know this too but you were just grasping for any argument to use, no matter how tenuous it was.
I dont have to resort to deflection because I was never arguing against the point that whites have changed. The fact that whites have changed was never a point of contention. You can go back as early as comment #285 to see where we were discussing how whites have changed and the reasons for those changes:Whether they gave them up out of goodwill is irrelevant to my point about how beliefs about colonialism can and did change. There is no way for you to argue that point which is why you resort to deflection.
Once again just to be completely clear, my original point was that you wanted to claim that whites gave up their colonies out of goodwill and it turns out that you were wrong. Whether or not whites have largely changed their beliefs about colonialism is a separate argument.
As you can see im very clearly acknowledging the fact that whites have changed, therefore your assertion that im somehow deflecting and trying to argue that whites havent changed is factually wrong. So, lets go over this one more time. There are two arguments here:
Jews also played a large role in the civil rights movement which was probably the biggest factor in helping to end white supremacy ideology and promote racial egalitarianism (which by default is the opposite of white supremacy). Therefore your contention that whites were able to change by themselves is incorrect, ironically it was jews who played a large role in helping whites to reform and shed white supremacy ideology. Without jews helping to reeducate the west then the west would still be pro-colonization and white supremacist. You say youre against white supremacy and against white colonization so actually you have the jews to thank for helping make the west and whites the way they are today.
https://www.dictionary.com/browse/white-supremacyThe backwater, no-name dictionary websites that you posted are wrong. Here are some ones that actually have merit. Just give up.
LOL. So now you are claiming that even dictionaries themselves are wrong. This is rich, I guess words only mean what you want them to mean right? Its amazing how delusional you are. Like I said, there are multiple definitions of white supremacy and you were wrong about this. Remember, you were confused over a simple comparative statement for two weeks. Youre a moron dude. Why should I take anyone seriously that doesn’t even understand the difference between nationality and ethnicity?

Keep in mind that the meaning of the word dominant is not equal to the meaning of the word dominate. If you don't believe me then go and look up the definition of dominant for yourself lol. This definition of white supremacy doesn't say anything about whites actively dominating/controlling others, it just talks about whites being dominant in society.
the belief, theory, or doctrine that white people are inherently superior to people from all other racial and ethnic groups, especially Black people, and are therefore rightfully the dominant group in any society.
and then here is the second definition from the same page, its near the bottom:
more important, strong, or noticeable than anything else of the same type:
a dominant military power
Unemployment will be a dominant issue in the next election.
Ironically you just proved your own point wrong again by posting the adl.org definition; I was actually the first one to post this definition (comment #402)
the theory or belief that White people are innately superior to people of other races
Both of the sources that you provided and claimed were credible have definitions of white supremacy which are congruent with the definition of white supremacy that I was originally using. Its like I said, there are multiple definitions of white supremacy. Since you seem so confused about this, maybe you should break down the term "white supremacy" and try to see what the word "supreme" by itself actually means:
1) whites should have dominance over people of other backgrounds, especially where they may co-exist; 2) whites should live by themselves in a whites-only society; 3) white people have their own "culture" that is superior to other cultures; 4) white people are genetically superior to other people.
Supreme is oftentimes used to mean the highest or the best; notice that the definition of supreme says nothing about dominating others? The concept of dominating others when it comes to the usage of the word "supremacy" in the context of the term "white supremacy" is a secondarily derived implied meaning, the actual definition of supremacy has nothing to do with literally dominating others:

whats there to rebut? You claim that colonialism is morally bad but then you go and try to bring up silver linings about it. It just makes you look like a hypocrite, but if youre fine with looking like a hypocrite then so be it. A person who truly feels morally opposed to something is not going to make up excuses or point out positive aspects (even if true) about the thing which he claims to be morally opposed to. Thats contradictory behavior, not really sure why you dont understand this lolNo rebuttal, I see.
Making silver linings arguments make you sound insincere about your “colonization bad!” stance, but hey man if you want people to think you’re full of shit then by all means continue to make silver lining arguments. You’re truly too autistic or too arrogant to understand this
This is the very definition of hypocrisy though. You are claiming that white nationalists are anti-colonialism but this is incongruent with white nationalists going and make excuses for colonialism (either japanese colonialism like you were doing earlier or past colonialism done by the west).No, there isn’t, you brainlet. Because past white supremacy and past white supremacists have nothing to do with modern white nationalists or white nationalism. How can you not understand this concept? Lmao. Just because you wouldn’t undo something that literally led to the foundation of your country as you know it hundreds of years ago, doesn’t mean you want to keep doing that thing to other people in the present. Nor does that mean that you are a hypocrite for resisting when another group is doing it to you in the present.
yeah there is hypocrisy. If white nationalists want to continue to make excuses for past white supremacy then they have no room to complain about jewish supremacy.
Im not really sure what the issue here is. You're a white nationalist who claims to be anti-colonialism but then you make up excuses and defend past instances of colonialism. That makes you a hypocrite per the definition above. If you just stop condoning past instances of colonialism then you can condemn jewish supremacy without being a hypocrite. Alternately if you retract your claim that you're anti-colonialism then you can also condemn jewish supremacy without being a hypocrite. Im not really sure why you're so bothered by me (correctly) calling you a hypocrite. Its just a term, if you're a hypocrite then you're a hypocrite, it is what it is.

I never said you had to give up your country lol. Its pretty clear that the crux of this argument is that you think im trying to tell you what you should or shouldnt do in terms of actions; actually im just telling you what I think you are in terms of rhetoric. The fact that you condone the displacement of the native americans but then go and complain that the same thing happening to white americans is unfair makes you a hypocrite, but just because you're a hypocrite doesn't mean that you're allowed/not allowed to act in a certain way. Do you understand this? You're a hypocrite, there is no arguing about this, but even though you're a hypocrite you still have the "right" to go and try to fight your own displacement. These are two separate concepts which you're mistakenly conflating. The fact that youre a hypocrite and the fact that you want to fight against your own displacement are not mutually exclusive concepts, they can both exist at once. I understand that you have had a lot of trouble understanding this thoughIt is unfair. They are both unfair. But my very existence depends on the first having taken place. I think the Native American displacement was wrong, but I wouldn’t undo it. Does that make sense to you?
I was pointing out your hypocrisy; its absurd how you condone the displacement of the native americans but then go and complain about how the same thing happening to white americans is unfair.
what would I be ashamed of? im not the one acting effeminate, you are lol. You do realize that I know what you're doing right? Just because you project on to me and claim that im doing a certain thing doesn't make it true, you and I both know that. Kind of sad that you have to resort to non-sensical mindgames when its clear that you can't refute somethingDon’t be ashamed, a lot of “men” are a little effeminate these days.
its not a cope though; im literally just describing your behavior. Just because you call it a cope doesnt mean that it actually is. You argue like a little bitch lmao
lol, I have no reason to be "salty" though. You're the one who keeps getting his arguments destroyed. You and I both know that LOLVery, very salty. Lmao. Hope you didn’t blow a gasket when you wrote this.
why would I be salty? Im kicking your ass in this argument. Im setting the tempo and calling the shots. Youre literally my bitch. You have no idea how much im enjoying destroying your arguments. Keep responding bitch, you’re my entertainment. Also…what kind of self respecting white man unironically uses the word “salty”? youre embarrassing yourself dude. Nothing is worse than clueless white nationalists ironically co-opting contemporary colloquialisms and trying to sound hip, you just sound like a moron lol
you were wrong about a minor point but you're so butthurt about it that you couldnt just drop it lolIt’s my retort when we are just arguing back and forth to no end, and I can’t possibly fathom how you could be so retarded.
this is your new retort when you run out of ways to deflect the fact that you were wrong about something. “uhhhhh I cant tell if youre trolling or not durrr”
why didnt you answer what I wrote before?I do know what is likely to happen in the future because I know what white nationalists believe in the present, far better than you do clearly based on your fantasy projections.
then why did you include it in the first place? lmao. Secondly, of course there is reason to believe that such a thing might happen, just because you claim otherwise doesn’t make it so. You don’t know the future, you’re wrong about things in the present and most likely you’re wrong about what would happen in a hypothetical future too.
you really dont know what is likely to happen in the future, what white nationalists claim to believe is irrelevant to what they actually end up doing. I mean white nationalists claim to be jew wise but then they went out and supported (((trump))) en masse LMAO.
except you did strawman it lol. Once again, the scenario I presented was extremely reasonable. You don’t speak for all white nationalists and secondly you don’t know how or what they would do in the future under different circumstances. Just because you claim to know something doesnt mean that you actually do. Look at how many white nationalists used to claim that the US democratic voting system was rigged but then in 2016 they all went out and voted for (((trump))) LOL. This just goes to show how gullible the alt-right and white nationalists are. I bet you voted for (((trump))) too lmao. Also look at how many white nationalists proclaim their commitment to the preservation of the white race and western civilization and then they go and marry an asian woman LOL. Once again this just goes to show you how you cannot take what white nationalists say at face value. All they do is talk and talk is cheap. They oftentimes literally can’t control themselves, who knows what they would do in an alternate reality where the situation was different. You certainly dont know
lol nor do I have to. As I said before, you dont know the future and you dont know what all white nationalists would do in a given future. Just because you claim that you represent all white nationalists doesn't mean that you actually do.No, it wasn’t. You haven’t even been able to provide one white nationalist that argues for a return of white supremacy.
Once again, the scenario I presented was extremely reasonable.
yeah no you dont, although you think you do lol. You claim to speak for all white nationalists and you claim to know what they would do; if this is so then why did so many white nationalists genuinely support (((trump)))? You present yourself as a spokesperson for white nationalists and you talk about how evil jewish power is yet the very people that you claim to represent (and that you claim to know how they think and act) went ahead and voted for a jew puppet LOL. You can't even make the excuse that it was a "strategic" act (LOL) because there were a ton of white nationalists who genuinely believed that (((trump))) was the real deal LOL. Like I said man, you don't represent all white nationalists nor do you know what they would do in the future.Based on what they believe now, I do.
You don’t speak for all white nationalists and secondly you don’t know how or what they would do in the future under different circumstances.
except the west did attempt to colonize china though. Where did I claim that the country had to be successfully colonized like you're suggesting?You did in your original point. You said that a country being colonized made it much more likely for mass emigration to their colonizing power to take place. Now, I’ve proven that a country need not be colonized for modern mass immigration from that country to take place. So sad for you.
I said related to colonialism, I didn’t say it that the country had to be successfully colonized.
According to you colonialism is colonialism. This is exactly what the british did in the opium wars, but a lot of western countries jumped in as well and tried to exploit china as well. This is also the same thing that happened when commodore perry forced japan to open up as well. According to the definition that you yourself supplied and the logic that you've been trying to use to claim that china is colonizing africa, this actually means that china was colonized too. Looks like you are proven wrong by your own logic lol.
The policy or practice of a wealthy or powerful nation in extending its influence into a less developed one, especially in exploiting that nation's resources.
why leave out the rest of the response?So, you’re argument is that because something happened a certain way, there is no possible way it could have happened another way. How convenient for you.
There is absolutely no debate about this or a way to prove it wrong. The only thing you can resort to is trying to use an alternate version of history to back up your point, how weak is that?
what I wrote makes perfect sense when put in context. You just have to remove things from context because you lack more substantial arguments or ways of disproving my points lol. Notice how I dont have to resort to doing that? Its because I actually have good arguments, you dontonce again, you don’t know what would happen. Anything you say is basically conjecture since the course of the world would be so different in an alternate reality. Notice how you have to resort to hypothetical situations and assuming things in order to prop up your point? That’s evidence that your original point couldnt stand on its own lol. The west forced east asia to open up and as a result this opened up the floodgates for millions of asian immigrants to come later on down the road. Even if modern technology existed in an alternate universe this doesnt mean that the political/geopolitical conditions for millions of east asian immigrants to come to the west would still exist. Its funny how you were completely BTFO on this point; in our current reality (not the hypothetical reality you like to run off to) the millions of east asian immigrants in the west are a direct result of the west forcing east asia to open up. There is absolutely no debate about this or a way to prove it wrong. The only thing you can resort to is trying to use an alternate version of history to back up your point, how weak is that?
Also, assuming modern technology progresses the same way, I highly doubt all of East Asia would remain isolated, like a bunch of North Koreas or something.
yeah you are factually wrong. You claimed that the largest foreign populations there were from moroccans and other european immigrants and it turns out that the largest foreign population group is from their former colonies. You were completely wrong about thisI’m not factually wrong. The number of non-white immigrants from their former colonies is negligible in Spain. Returning white Spaniards doesn’t count. It’s like white Brits returning from Nigeria or India. 25% (or even 5%) of Spain’s population is definitely not mestizo or Amerindian. All of this is rather beside the point, modern mass immigration is only possible because modern governments allow it.
more cope. Once again one of your poorly put together arguments gets completely destroyed and as a result you have to modify the conditions and try to change the goalposts LOL. Notice how its only you that has to change the goalposts and not me? Thats a clear indicator of somebody that has a weak argument. You were trying to claim that the largest foreign populations there were moroccans and other european immigrants (as opposed to people from their former colonies) and it turns out that you were factually wrong. You couldn’t even prove your original point LOL
I dont recall claiming otherwise, perhaps you can find where I denied this? Im serious, if you can then find where I was claiming otherwise. Ive always made the argument that western colonization helped bring about modern globalization which in turn brought about the conditions under which mass immigration could occur. I never denied that modern mass immigration happens because modern governments allow it to happen.
All of this is rather beside the point, modern mass immigration is only possible because modern governments allow it.
thats funny because this point has nothing to do with what I wrote:So you’re existence is likely dependent on the genocide of Native Americans then. Would you undo the Native American genocide if it means you never existing?
You don’t know how technology would have spread, in what way, to what degree and against what political and geopolitical backdrop.
you were trying to claim that modern globalization would have happened anyways and I was arguing that modern globalization was built on the back of western colonialism. Your question about the genocide of the native americans isnt relevant to this at all. Im guessing you didnt have a real argument so that's why you just came up with this random questionReplies: @FvSonce again, you don’t know what a hypothetical world where western colonialism had never happened would have looked like and you dont know how it would have developed. You would literally have to redo over five centuries of history. You don’t know how technology would have spread, in what way, to what degree and against what political and geopolitical backdrop. Modern globalization is obviously built on the back of western colonialism.
Technology and free trade are far more important factors. Reduction in language barriers is only a small benefit to globalization. China is a perfect example of this. They were never colonized, don’t speak a European language, and yet are fully integrated into the global market because of technology and free trade.
Also I noticed you didnt respond to what else I wrote about proportionality. Since you feel that the concept of proportionality is so important to your “aggressor” argument then you need to explain to me what is the fundamental “law” that undergirds your idea of proportionality. Proportionality doesnt objectively exist, its only a subjective notion. Can you provide some proof that there is a fundamental “law” or “force” which makes your notion of proportionality objectively enforceable? If you cannot prove that the concept of proportionality both objectively exists and is able to be enforceable then your arguments relying on the concept of proportionality cannot be used to credibly support your “aggressor” argument anyways. At that point your argument of “proportionality” only becomes a matter of opinion instead of the objective and enforceable law that youre trying to argue it is.
I’m not going to get sucked into some metaphysical debate about the nature of justice with you. Suffice to say, pretty much every civilized society has some notion of what constitutes appropriate punishments for various crimes and what is “going too far.”
I was explaining in an objective, unopinionated sense the possible genesis of the schism between jews and gentile whites. You wanted to claim that jews are the aggressors but actually gentile whites might have been the true aggressors. If thats the case then jews are no longer the aggressors anymore. This point has nothing to do with assigning guilt or blame to people, its solely about demonstrating in an objective sense who the aggressors could be on a macro, cultural scale.
Gentile whites and Romans are not the same thing. If the Romans were the aggressors, Jews should be targeting Italians specifically, and even then they would still be the aggressors for going way beyond proportionality.
The key word here is escalation; the schism between the jews and the west may have started with the jewish-roman wars and then it just evolved and escalated from there. You do know what schism means right? It kind of seems like maybe you don’t understand the argument that is being made here…
It may have started with the Jewish-Roman wars, but that doesn’t mean the Jews have not become the aggressors through disproportionate and indiscriminate targeting of whites who had nothing to with the Romans.
As you can see im very clearly acknowledging the fact that whites have changed, therefore your assertion that im somehow deflecting and trying to argue that whites havent changed is factually wrong. So, lets go over this one more time. There are two arguments here:
1.you being wrong about the reasons why whites gave up colonialism
2.you claiming that im deflecting about whites having changed their views about colonialism
you’re trying that claim that I was avoiding argument #2 since you were under the impression that I was denying that point however it turns out that we had already discussed this back as early as comment #285, therefore your assertion that im denying that whites have changed and that im trying to deflect from this argument are both wrong. Secondly, you are still deflecting and trying to avoid argument #1; you wanted to claim that whites gave up colonialism out of goodwill and it turns out that you were factually wrong about this.
It’s good that you admit that whites have changed and when whites get our ethnostate, a return to white supremacy is unlikely. And let’s put it this way, the reason why whites gave up their colonies may not have been out of goodwill, but goodwill is the reason why we haven’t taken our colonies back even though we could. As for that “thanking the Jews argument”, Jews may have helped end white supremacy, but they are also responsible for white genocide. There is a middle ground they could have argued for, and it’s called ethnonationalism.
Keep in mind that the meaning of the word dominant is not equal to the meaning of the word dominate. If you don’t believe me then go and look up the definition of dominant for yourself lol. This definition of white supremacy doesn’t say anything about whites actively dominating/controlling others, it just talks about whites being dominant in society.
I can’t believe you’re still trying to dig yourself out of this one. Look at the other definitions. You can tell what they mean by “dominant.” Just stop, this flailing is cringy.
Ironically you just proved your own point wrong again by posting the adl.org definition; I was actually the first one to post this definition (comment #402)
The very first definition is the actual definition, the definition that everyone talking about white supremacy uses. You can clearly see this by looking at the other mainstream sources I posted, not your backwater sites.
whats there to rebut? You claim that colonialism is morally bad but then you go and try to bring up silver linings about it. It just makes you look like a hypocrite, but if youre fine with looking like a hypocrite then so be it. A person who truly feels morally opposed to something is not going to make up excuses or point out positive aspects (even if true) about the thing which he claims to be morally opposed to. Thats contradictory behavior, not really sure why you dont understand this lol
Dealt with in last post.
This is the very definition of hypocrisy though. You are claiming that white nationalists are anti-colonialism but this is incongruent with white nationalists going and make excuses for colonialism (either japanese colonialism like you were doing earlier or past colonialism done by the west).
Damn, you really are a brainlet that can’t comprehend any nuance.
Im not really sure what the issue here is. You’re a white nationalist who claims to be anti-colonialism but then you make up excuses and defend past instances of colonialism. That makes you a hypocrite per the definition above. If you just stop condoning past instances of colonialism then you can condemn jewish supremacy without being a hypocrite. Alternately if you retract your claim that you’re anti-colonialism then you can also condemn jewish supremacy without being a hypocrite. Im not really sure why you’re so bothered by me (correctly) calling you a hypocrite. Its just a term, if you’re a hypocrite then you’re a hypocrite, it is what it is.
I think there is a bit of a misunderstanding here, let me clarify what’s going on here. Nobody is saying that you’re not allowed to resist your racial displacement; whether you choose to resist or not has nothing to do with whether or not youre guilty of hypocrisy. When we are discussing hypocrisy we’re talking about things on a rhetorical level. When I claim that you’re a hypocrite for your contradictory stances with regards to colonialism this is not the same as me saying that you’re not allowed to resist your displacement. I’m merely calling you a hypocrite because you are, but im not telling you what you’re allowed or not allowed to do in terms of actual actions.
I admit that the genocide of the amerindians was wrong. I wish it could have been done differently, but somehow I doubt it could have. And if it couldn’t, I would basically have to argue that my entire country shouldn’t exist, that its founding is illegitimate. That’s not something I’m willing to do, and if that makes me a hypocrite, so be it. I think the U.S. is a good thing born out of a bad act. Yet, this accusation of hypocrite is disingenuous because it is only ever applied to whites. Many modern countries were founded on conquest and also oppose colonialism as official policy today. Yet no one would call any of them hypocrites for resisting a genocide today.
what would I be ashamed of? im not the one acting effeminate, you are lol. You do realize that I know what you’re doing right? Just because you project on to me and claim that im doing a certain thing doesn’t make it true, you and I both know that. Kind of sad that you have to resort to non-sensical mindgames when its clear that you can’t refute something
I’m just saying, some phrases are more effeminate than others.
lol, I have no reason to be “salty” though. You’re the one who keeps getting his arguments destroyed. You and I both know that LOL
I know no such thing. 🙂
why didnt you answer what I wrote before?
What you wrote wasn’t relevant to what we were discussing. First of all, voting for Trump in the hope that he would keep his immigration promises was the obvious right choice when Hillary was the other. Second of all, the amount of white nationalists that marry Asians is virtually zero. Any that do are probably not white nationalists but race realist conservatives or libertarians.
yeah no you dont, although you think you do lol. You claim to speak for all white nationalists and you claim to know what they would do; if this is so then why did so many white nationalists genuinely support (((trump)))? You present yourself as a spokesperson for white nationalists and you talk about how evil jewish power is yet the very people that you claim to represent (and that you claim to know how they think and act) went ahead and voted for a jew puppet LOL. You can’t even make the excuse that it was a “strategic” act (LOL) because there were a ton of white nationalists who genuinely believed that (((trump))) was the real deal LOL. Like I said man, you don’t represent all white nationalists nor do you know what they would do in the future.
I never claimed to speak for all white nationalists. I just know what white nationalism is and what it isn’t far better than you do. I also know what the majority of white nationalists believe about colonization and slavery from my interactions with them. I don’t know of a single one that wants them brought back. Sorry man, that’s just reality.
except the west did attempt to colonize china though. Where did I claim that the country had to be successfully colonized like you’re suggesting?
Furthermore…youve been claiming that china is colonizing africa, therefore if we apply your same logic of what constitutes colonialism then it turns out that china and japan were indeed colonized by the west. The definition you yourself provided is below:
You argued that modern mass immigration is a result of the colonizing of those countries where the source of the immigrants are coming from. Furthermore, China and Japan were not economically colonized in accordance with that definition and especially not like China is economically colonizing Africa today.
According to you colonialism is colonialism. This is exactly what the british did in the opium wars, but a lot of western countries jumped in as well and tried to exploit china as well. This is also the same thing that happened when commodore perry forced japan to open up as well. According to the definition that you yourself supplied and the logic that you’ve been trying to use to claim that china is colonizing africa, this actually means that china was colonized too. Looks like you are proven wrong by your own logic lol.
The colonialism is colonialism statement was referring to Chinese colonizing of Tibet, Vietnam, and Xinjiang. Context. What China is doing in Africa is not the same as what the British or Commodore Perry did. Forcing trade is not the same as purchasing assets and territory from corrupt leaders and using debt-trap diplomacy to take over.
what I wrote makes perfect sense when put in context. You just have to remove things from context because you lack more substantial arguments or ways of disproving my points lol. Notice how I dont have to resort to doing that? Its because I actually have good arguments, you dont
I just don’t blockquote everything to try and make these posts not as ridiculously long.
yeah you are factually wrong. You claimed that the largest foreign populations there were from moroccans and other european immigrants and it turns out that the largest foreign population group is from their former colonies. You were completely wrong about this
secondly, does spain genetically test the immigrants coming from its former colonies? How do you know they’re white spaniards and not mixed race? Im actually really interested in knowing whether or not you can back up what you said. Where is your information about this? Can you provide actual statistics about this? If you cant then you need to admit that you can’t back up your claim.
Immigrants to Spain tend to be from South America and very European.

you were trying to claim that modern globalization would have happened anyways and I was arguing that modern globalization was built on the back of western colonialism. Your question about the genocide of the native americans isnt relevant to this at all. Im guessing you didnt have a real argument so that’s why you just came up with this random question
I was claiming that modern globalization would have happened anyway if technology developed the same way. Mass migrations predate European colonization and technology would have made the world a smaller place and more connected no matter what. The native american question was to point out how if one believes that the present could only have come about the one way that it did, our very existences are dependent on the native american genocide taking place (assuming you’re American). But because you’re obviously glad you exist, does that mean you’re condoning genocide?
nah, you brought it up because your original argument was getting trashed and you knew it lolIt’s icing on the cake.
if you still stand by your original argument then why did you bring up christianity?
lol, this isnt an answer. You didn't address anything I wrote:Mongolians, Imperial Japanese, Aztecs, Bantus, etc.
Not necessarily. I already addressed this; different races exhibit different traits and also exhibit different degrees of certain traits when compared to other races. According to HBD we follow this logic for all other traits, why wouldnt we apply it to the traits that would undergird the desire/inclination for conquest and domination? You don’t know if all of the other races would have tried to dominate the entire world, to try to say otherwise is making a racial blank-slate argument.

Its obvious that youre trying to selectively support HBD when it fits you and then use racial blank-slate arguments when HBD is inconvenient LOL.
Lets take intelligence for example; asians are intelligent, so are whites, does this mean that asians will have the same intellectual abilities as whites? nope. Does this mean that asians will be able to impact the external world with their intellect to the same degree as whites can? nope. So why would the desire/inclination for domination be any different when applied to the different races? Different races all have demonstrated the desire for domination/conquest but this doesn’t automatically mean that they would express this desire in the same way and to the same degree under identical circumstances. You can even see the same thing in society; in theory all races in the US have equal access to the same opportunities (NAMs actually have greater access to opportunities) however not all races bother to use these opportunities equally. Generally speaking different races in the US show different levels of drive and ambition and this in turn results in different outcomes. Its the same thing when applied to the hypothetical situation of the different races having the same resources and whether or not they would try to dominate the entire world. Different races will lead to different outcomes. Racial differences exist, I dont know why you keep trying to argue that they wouldnt apply in a situation like this.
This doesn't address my statement though. You claimed that all other races would have done the same, but then you claimed that racial differences in wanting to dominate others might exist. Your statements contradict each other, so which one is it?All races have groups that tried to take as much territory as possible at some point. Why is it so hard for you to imagine what the Mongolians would have done with European weapons and ships?
These are mutually exclusive beliefs. The fact that racial differences in wanting to dominate others might exist means that you cannot definitely claim that all other races would have done the same if they were in the position of whites.
this is the same as the christianity argument, this point is irrelevant to your original argument which was based on strength/ability alone; you never said anything about internecine competition being relevant. Why are you continuing to move goal posts? Why cant you stick with your original argument? :)
There is also another point that I never brought up and that is the nature of the competition between all the various European countries. The virtual stalemate that existed forced the competition outwards.
Why sidestep this? You wanted to argue that kotte functioned as a pitstop and it turns out that you were wrong about this, I'll be expecting you to address this in your next response. Provide proof of your assertion or admit that you cannot. Also portuguese india is like right next to kotte lmao. wow...how did you not know that?What’s closer to China, Portuguese controlled India or Kotte?
the portugese already had cochin and malacca as well as other “colonies” in the area. Portuguese controlled territory in the area was called portuguese india. Actual direct portuguese colonial administration of kotte did not begin until long after portugese india had already been well established (1597). Your reasoning for why they wanted to possess kotte is chronologically and factually wrong:
its irrelevant whether or not they were sending ships to portugal lol. This is your own contrived logic that you've created. Colonies are not always created to serve as pitstops unlike what you're trying to suggest. Colonies can be created for any number of reasons. Here's what is said with regards to chinese interests in relation to the area around the kotte kingdom:
Also, when was China sending ships to Portugal again?
The chinese had interests in that area, as such that's sufficient reason to establish a colony, especially when you consider how far away the kotte kingdom was from china. Needing to establish a pitstop is not the only reason why people would want to establish a colony; this is only your own subjective opinion, its not an objective fact. Most importantly, you were trying to claim that kotte was intended to function as a pitstop and it turns out that you were factually wrong about its purpose:
During the Ming treasure voyages, a large Chinese fleet led by Admiral Zheng He arrived in local waters to establish Chinese control and stability of the maritime routes in the waters around Ceylon and southern India.[3] Alakeshvara posed a threat to Chinese trade by committing piracy and hostilities in the local waters.[3]
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Portuguese presence in the island lasted from 1505 to 1658. Their arrival was largely accidental, and the Portuguese sought control of commerce, rather than territory.
yawn, keep conflating brohttps://www.thefreedictionary.com/Economic+colonialism
thats funny because debt-trap diplomacy and buying off foreign politicians don’t constitute colonialism either. These actions can be considered unethical or scummy, but that doesn’t mean that they are equivalent to colonialism (assuming that either of these allegations is even true on a broad scale to begin with). African countries are free to stop working with china, china isn’t forcing them to do anything. Is china holding a gun to their heads and forcing them to work with them? China doesn’t even have the military force projection ability to coerce these african countries to work with it lol.
https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/conflateI merely asked if you supported what they were doing there as it is clear they are engaging in a form of colonialism. You have never addressed the fact that there are many ways to engage in colonialism.lmao youre you’re literally trying to conflate them right now:
No, I never was trying to conflate them. That is a strawman. I merely asked if you supported what they were doing there as it is clear they are engaging in a form of colonialism. You have never addressed the fact that there are many ways to engage in colonialism.
yeah I did, I picked them apart piece by piece. You didn't answer a single one, if you were able to refute the arguments that I brought up then you would have done so already but you didntI didn’t abandon anything. You just didn’t successfully refute the points so I saw no point in going on about it.
BTW I already read each of your links in its entirety, I didn’t find any of them particularly convincing. Most of the articles came across as speculation, exaggeration and conjecture. Its also pretty funny that youve already abandoned your arbitrary list of four things that you claimed constitute colonialism lol.
so what you were saying was just conjecture that you pulled out of your ass and you can't back up your point. Thats what I thought :)Yes, I too think it makes sense to invade other countries when there is an imperial power on my doorstep. /s
this is completely your conjecture, you’re literally pulling this out your ass. You have no basis for this statement, if you do then provide proof. Seriously, I want you to provide me proof of your assertion
hey man youre the one who's making these pro-colonialism arguments not me. You obviously dont think that colonialism is as bad as youre claiming if you keep trying to point out the positive aspects about it. Just to make it clear, I understand that saying that there are positive aspects of X doesnt necessarily mean that you think it should have happened in the first place, but thats not whats really being discussed here. Whats happening here is that you're trying to convince me and hypothetical others that youre against colonialism and that you think its wrong but then you keep making up excuses for colonialism and trying to point out the good aspects of it. In other words, you're undermining your own credibility by doing this. You can get away with this kind of "logic" when you talk to other white nationalists but if you try to convince regular people with this logic then they're going to tell you that youre full of shit. Im just letting you know for your own benefit lol, you're free to do what you want to though. Also you were completely wrong about the claim below:For the millionth time, saying there were positive aspects of colonialism doesn’t mean you think it should have happened in the first place. As for the Japanese and the Chinese, that helps prove my original point about the behavior of all races.
Secondly, this is also a really odd argument for a person that is supposedly against colonialism to make. Wow…it almost sounds like you’re trying to justify colonialism. You’re literally too stupid to hide your own pro-colonialism leanings and it ends up leaking out sooner or later lol. Also you are aware that the japanese themselves killed up to 20 million chinese right?
what you were saying was completely historically incorrect lol. I notice you didnt even bother to acknowledge that. Japanese colonization was one of the main reasons that the communists ended up taking over china LOL. you were completely wrong about that
The Japanese were not. They wouldn’t have tried to conquer their neighbors if they were. And if China was colonized, tens of millions of Chinese would still be alive due to no communist revolution and due to improved infrastructure.
oh haha, so you were wrong lolNot literally every single time, but most of the time they do, especially if they’ve been living in the presence of other races for a prolonged period.
You’ve completely contradicted yourself here, apparently according even to you, people do not inherently value their race over their ethnicity.
still waiting for your answer. You claimed that there are many places where different proximate racial majority nations intersect and there is no alliance, so can you back up your assertion? Im not even saying youre wrong, but I want to see if you can back up what you claimed or not.of course proximity is the main factor, supranational alliances are based on a multitude of important factors but typically geographical location is (obviously) one of the most important ones. Your second point about places where different proximate racial majority nations intersect and there being no alliances doesn’t disprove my point that supranational alliances are based on many factors besides just race. It has no bearing at all on my point.
Maybe proximity is the main factor, but there are many places where different proximate racial majority nations intersect and there is no alliance.
That being said, even though you didn’t disprove my point I am curious if you can even back up your assertion. Can you provide me a list of these many places where different proximate racial majority nations intersect and there is no alliance? You said there are many, while I doubt what you’re saying, I want to see if you can actually back up your claim.
so your point about pan-asian advocacy organizations couldnt prove your point, gotcha. Secondly, what ive observed is that some asian-americans prefer the company of other asians but other asian-americans (many actually) tend to hang out with mixed groups. Asian-americans are not pan-racial to the same degree as african americans. More important is the fact that this point doesn't prove me wrong because im not even denying that there is some degree of pan-racial camaraderie in the asian-american community, this was always acknowledged. What I was arguing against is the idea that asian-americans value their race over their ethnicity. Asian-americans typically do not exalt a pan-racial identity over their own unique ethnic identities. I went over this in detail in comment #414 and I also already addressed the articles you posted as well:Based on the articles I posted and my own observations that Asian-Americans have no problem sticking together and prefer the company of other old Asian ethnic groups over other groups of different races, I think we can make a safe assumption.
the fact that pan-asian advocacy organizations exist doesnt prove that the majority of real, actual asian americans on the ground value their race over their ethnicity. You wanted to claim that asian americans value race over ethnicity but the link you provided doesn’t prove that asian americans value race over ethnicity, it only proves that there are some organizations which promote pan-asianism. You cannot deduce from this how all asian-americans collectively feel with regards to race and its relative importance compared to their respective ethnicities.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I read both of these articles, they’re interesting articles but they don’t prove your point. Just because some asian-americans band together to promote pan-asian identity politics doesn’t mean that all or even most asian americans feel this way. The reality on the ground with your average asian-american is much different. They are not pan-racial to the extent that african-americans are for example. Like I said, in my experience when it comes to asian-americans, they primarily identify with their ethnicity first, a sense of pan-racial asian identity is either equal to this or comes in second place but doesnt supercede their ethnic identity like you were claiming, and then of course many asian-americans don’t care about their ethnicity or their race. The situation in real life regarding asian-americans and pan-racial identity is much more complexed and nuanced than you’re trying to argue it is.
lol its a perfectly apt comparison:No, that’s a false comparison because pan-Asian organizations and white nationalist organizations don’t advocate the same relative things. It’s amazing how stupid you are.
This is equivalent to pulling up a list of white nationalist organizations and claiming that it somehow represents how all whites feel. Its amazing how stupid you are
ok, do you have data showing where liberals tend to live? You've made a claim about rich whites, but rich whites are not the same as all liberals. Some or even many rich whites are liberal, but that's not the same as saying that all liberals are rich whites. So do you have some data showing the kind of neighborhoods that liberals (and not just rich whites) tend to live in?This is demonstrably false. Rich whites live in notoriously heavy white neighborhoods.
from what ive seen race-blind liberals are happy to live with people from a similar socio-economic class regardless of their race; as for their associations I see a ton of white liberal males and white liberal females with romantic partners and friends of different races. If anything I think that race-blind liberals probably try to avoid low-class black people more than anything, but they’re basically fine with every other racial and socio-economic demographic. You’re confusing the role that socio-economic status plays with the role that race plays. The instinct for pan-racial sentiment is much less strong than you think it is; this is why its so malleable in the first place.
can you prove this? Im not even claiming that this claim is wrong, but im curious if you provide facts to back it up or not.
Interracial relationships among white liberals are still a tiny
we're discussing white liberals, where rich blacks live has nothing to do with your point about white liberals
Rich blacks prefer living among other rich blacks. minority.

you claimed the following:No, you’re wrong. A person can belong to multiple ethnic groups at the same time. Typically, the most broad ethnic group that a person belongs to correlates with their nationality. What you’re saying is that the American, German, Bolivian, Vietnamese, etc. ethnic groups do not exist.
yeah you’re wrong lol. Ethnicity is a biological reality, just like race is. How can you not know this? LMAO. You’re confusing ethnicity with nationality, which is largely cultural. How the fuck do you not know this? That fact that you didn’t know this casts a large shadow of doubt over your other arguments as well. You’ve been factually wrong about so many things so far, its becoming hard to take you seriously.
Ethnicity cannot be changed, it is a biological reality:
Ethnicity can be changed, race can not. It is biological reality. That alone proves that race is the more important factor. Ethnicity is largely cultural.
so youve resorted to just responding with random, non-tangential nonsense. I guess if this is how you want to cope with being proven wrong then so be it. Not sure how saying: "Ah, your true hatred of whites is revealing itself. " proves anything I said wrong.Ah, your true hatred of whites is revealing itself.
1.you indeed were wrong in your original assertion where you forgot about the context in which the viking example was given. So you were wrong, there is no arguing about this.
2.what youre saying is still autistic bullshit that doesnt apply in the real world. Which is why vikings had no problems fucking up anglosaxons; the vikings could give a rats ass about your opinion that them invading the anglosaxons was racially self-destructive. This just goes to show how delusional and detached from reality you are; you persist in believing in your non-sense even though it doesnt reflect real world conditions. The jews OTOH exist in reality and are very pragmatic, they dont delude themselves with nonsense like you do, I can see why they’re winning and white nationalists are losing.
yeah and "what is" is the fact that the vikings had no problems fucking up the anglo-saxons even though this act is "racially self-destructive" lol. The point? Your logic about racially similar people attacking each other being self destructive is basically mental masturbation that has zero influence on how people choose to act in the real world.Replies: @FvS
And it doesn’t matter what the vikings thought, it just matters what is.
nah, you brought it up because your original argument was getting trashed and you knew it lol
It’s another point that furthers my original argument. And you refuse to address it. Not surprising though.
lol, this isnt an answer. You didn’t address anything I wrote:
I provided representatives of every race that tried to conquer as much territory as they possible could. Checkmate. Just imagine what the Mongolians would have done with the same degree of technological advantage that the Europeans had over Amerindians and Africans.
this is the same as the christianity argument, this point is irrelevant to your original argument which was based on strength/ability alone; you never said anything about internecine competition being relevant. Why are you continuing to move goal posts? Why cant you stick with your original argument?
The original argument stands on its own. See above. The other points I brought up just augment it.
The chinese had interests in that area, as such that’s sufficient reason to establish a colony, especially when you consider how far away the kotte kingdom was from china. Needing to establish a pitstop is not the only reason why people would want to establish a colony; this is only your own subjective opinion, its not an objective fact. Most importantly, you were trying to claim that kotte was intended to function as a pitstop and it turns out that you were factually wrong about its purpose:
It is my opinion that a power would be more likely to colonize a territory that is on the way between their ultimate trade destination and their place of origin. If the Mings had developed a more formal and long term presence in the Indian Ocean, I believe it’s possible that they would have taken more direct control over Ceylon. But the treasure voyages were over relatively quickly. The fact remains that the Portuguese and the Mings were in totally different situations. From the wiki, we can see that the Portuguese did not begin direct rule until after the ruler of Kotte converted to Christianity and basically just gave the kingdom to the Portuguese.
Portuguese presence in the island lasted from 1505 to 1658. Their arrival was largely accidental, and the Portuguese sought control of commerce, rather than territory. The Portuguese were later drawn into the internal politics of the island with the political upheaval of the Wijayaba Kollaya, and used these internal divisions to their advantage during the Sinhalese–Portuguese War, first in an attempt to control the production of valuable cinnamon and later of the entire island. Direct Portuguese rule did not begin until after the death of Dharmapala of Kotte, who died without an heir, and had bequeathed the Kingdom of Kotte to the Portuguese monarch in 1580.[2]
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portuguese_Ceylon
At first the Portuguese limited themselves to securing their share of the cinnamon trade in Colombo and supporting – and defending – their allies the rulers of Kotte. It was only after Dom João Dharmapalla converted to Christianity and bequeathed his kingdom to the King of Portugal upon his death in 1597, that the Portuguese regarded Kotte as their territory, and considered the conquest of the entire island to secure it.

yawn, keep conflating bro
Show me where I said they were the same thing. If you thought that was the implication, you misunderstood.
yeah I did, I picked them apart piece by piece. You didn’t answer a single one, if you were able to refute the arguments that I brought up then you would have done so already but you didnt
Here you go.
▶︎ to extend the influence of the “mother country”
-don’t all countries do this? what does this even actually mean? This is geopolitics 101
No, not all countries do this. I believe what the author means by this is to expand the “mother country’s” control over other countries. China does this through debt-trap diplomacy especially. Where the Europeans used force to take over Africa. The Chinese are just buying it from corrupt and short-sighted leaders.
▶︎ to provide a source of raw materials for the “mother country”
-africans are getting paid for it or otherwise renumerated in some way, the chinese arent just stealing their raw materials. You can bitch and moan that the chinese are somehow “manipulating” the africans but this doesnt change the fact that at the end of the day, the chinese are paying for or trading for raw materials. They aren’t just taking raw materials like they could if they were actually colonizing africa.
African leaders might be getting paid, not necessarily the African people.
▶︎ to provide a market for manufactured products of the “mother country”
-the US not only provides raw materials but also provides a market for manufactured chinese goods, does this make the US a chinese colony? lmao
U.S. raw materials are not being taken out of the country by Chinese companies like Africa’s raw materials are.
▶︎ to provide a place for people to live, especially if the “mother country” is overcrowded
-is china forcing africa to accept chinese immigration on a large scale? Are there constant incidents where african nations are refusing to accept chinese immigration but are forced to accept chinese immigration by the chinese government at gunpoint? How hard is it to immigrate to many african countries anyways? I imagine the barrier to entry is significantly lower compared to immigrating to a first world country ergo many people could immigrate to africa if they wanted to but only the chinese are willing to.

so what you were saying was just conjecture that you pulled out of your ass and you can’t back up your point. Thats what I thought
I just did. It makes no sense for a country to invade a bunch of other countries and weaken themselves militarily when there is an imperial power about to take them over. Ergo, Japan wasn’t in danger of being taken over.
You obviously dont think that colonialism is as bad as youre claiming if you keep trying to point out the positive aspects about it.
It wasn’t as bad as you’re claiming. Pointing that out does not mean I think it was justified. If I thought it was justified, I would have said that colonization was a good thing because it lead to better infrastructure, literacy rates, GDP, etc. Instead, the argument I’m making is that while colonization did have some positive benefits (as previously listed), it was still wrong. Even a brainlet like you should be able to tell the difference between the two.
what you were saying was completely historically incorrect lol. I notice you didnt even bother to acknowledge that. Japanese colonization was one of the main reasons that the communists ended up taking over china LOL. you were completely wrong about that
We were talking about European colonization, not Japanese colonization.
so your point about pan-asian advocacy organizations couldnt prove your point, gotcha. Secondly, what ive observed is that some asian-americans prefer the company of other asians but other asian-americans (many actually) tend to hang out with mixed groups. Asian-americans are not pan-racial to the same degree as african americans. More important is the fact that this point doesn’t prove me wrong because im not even denying that there is some degree of pan-racial camaraderie in the asian-american community, this was always acknowledged. What I was arguing against is the idea that asian-americans value their race over their ethnicity. Asian-americans typically do not exalt a pan-racial identity over their own unique ethnic identities. I went over this in detail in comment #414 and I also already addressed the articles you posted as well:
I guess it probably depends on what generation of immigrant they are.
lol its a perfectly apt comparison:
-pan-asian organizations attempt to advocate for all asians in america
-white nationalist organizations attempt to advocate for all whites in america
Both organizations are attempting (keyword is attempt) to represent all people of X race, but that doesnt necessarily mean that they actually represent these races. My point is completely cogent, youre obviously the stupid one for not being able to understand this lol.
So Pan-Asian organizations want to establish an Asian United States that excludes the other races? Don’t make me laugh.
ok, do you have data showing where liberals tend to live? You’ve made a claim about rich whites, but rich whites are not the same as all liberals. Some or even many rich whites are liberal, but that’s not the same as saying that all liberals are rich whites. So do you have some data showing the kind of neighborhoods that liberals (and not just rich whites) tend to live in?
can you prove this? Im not even claiming that this claim is wrong, but im curious if you provide facts to back it up or not.
You can infer from looking at blue states. And most of the interracial marriages in West Coast blue states involve Hispanics, some of whom are white.
Ethnicity cannot be changed, it is a biological reality:
It’s what is commonly referred to as assimilation. And there is also ethnogenesis. Remember, Ethnic groups may be subdivided into subgroups or tribes, which over time may become separate ethnic groups themselves due to endogamy or physical isolation from the parent group. Conversely, formerly separate ethnicities can merge to form a pan-ethnicity and may eventually merge into one single ethnicity. Whether through division or amalgamation, the formation of a separate ethnic identity is referred to as ethnogenesis.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ethnogenesis
an ethnically spanish person cannot suddenly decide to change his ethnicity to swedish. A typical spaniard and a typical swede literally have different (yet similar) genomes. Do you think a person can just change their genes? LOL. You cannot just change your ethnicity. You clearly have a misunderstanding about this term. Do you really think there is no genetic difference between a spaniard and a swede? LOL
Look who is suddenly using ethnic groups and nationalities interchangeably. But the way I look at it, a person can belong to multiple levels of ethnic groups with some being more fundamental than others. For example, a black person from Alabama could be an American, an Alabaman, a Southerner, a black-American, etc. Those are all ethnic groups in my opinion. Or let’s say France. There are a lot of blacks in France that have been there for a long time. Are they French? I say yes. However, that doesn’t mean there aren’t the sub-ethnic groups of white-French and black-French, with white-French being the “real” French.
so youve resorted to just responding with random, non-tangential nonsense. I guess if this is how you want to cope with being proven wrong then so be it. Not sure how saying: “Ah, your true hatred of whites is revealing itself. ” proves anything I said wrong.
It wasn’t meant to. I was just pointing out how you seem to relish what Jews are doing to whites. It’s obvious in your writing.
yeah and “what is” is the fact that the vikings had no problems fucking up the anglo-saxons even though this act is “racially self-destructive” lol. The point? Your logic about racially similar people attacking each other being self destructive is basically mental masturbation that has zero influence on how people choose to act in the real world.
I still think it’s worse, or at least, no different to attack your own race than to attack other races. It’s like how attacking a cousin would be worse than attacking a stranger. It’s certainly not better to attack your own race like you were arguing.
its not a cope though; im literally just describing your behavior. Just because you call it a cope doesnt mean that it actually is. You argue like a little bitch lmaoHaha, what a cope. I, too, frequently hear Shakespeare quoted by “masculine” men all the time.
not really. actually lets think critically about what kind of behavior could be considered effeminate. What would you call it if someone continually argued in an emotive, deflective and obfuscative manner where they frequently had to change goalposts in an effort to avoid admitting that their original points were wrong? What if when presented with irrefutable evidence that they were incorrect on a certain point this hypothetical commenter responded with catty one word responses like the following?
why would I be salty? Im kicking your ass in this argument. Im setting the tempo and calling the shots. Youre literally my bitch. You have no idea how much im enjoying destroying your arguments. Keep responding bitch, you're my entertainment. Also...what kind of self respecting white man unironically uses the word "salty"? youre embarrassing yourself dude. Nothing is worse than clueless white nationalists ironically co-opting contemporary colloquialisms and trying to sound hip, you just sound like a moron lolLol, so salty.
I dont know…I would say that this hypothetical commenter would sound like the real effeminate one (you). If anything im the more “masculine” poster here. This is because I always use logic and well researched/thought out facts and arguments to back up my points. Notice how you’re the one who’s always having to jump around from argument to argument? I don’t have to do that, I can always stand my ground and argue my points effectively without having to resort to cheap tricks lol.
this is your new retort when you run out of ways to deflect the fact that you were wrong about something. "uhhhhh I cant tell if youre trolling or not durrr"I can’t tell if you’re trolling or not.
and you still missed the point LOL. you thought I was unironically using rationalwiki and didn’t realize I was making a point by using rationalwiki. It totally went over your head
then why did you include it in the first place? lmao. Secondly, of course there is reason to believe that such a thing might happen, just because you claim otherwise doesn't make it so. You don't know the future, you're wrong about things in the present and most likely you're wrong about what would happen in a hypothetical future too.Ignore the suddenly, I’m saying there is no reason to believe they would embrace colonialism again at any time.
In the entirety of the original passage I clearly suggested that a hypothetical reacceptance of colonialism might happen at some point, I never said it would happen suddenly. The linchpin to your rebuttal is that white nationalists would suddenly want to start colonizing again, which I was never claiming to begin with.
except you did strawman it lol. Once again, the scenario I presented was extremely reasonable. You don't speak for all white nationalists and secondly you don't know how or what they would do in the future under different circumstances. Just because you claim to know something doesnt mean that you actually do. Look at how many white nationalists used to claim that the US democratic voting system was rigged but then in 2016 they all went out and voted for (((trump))) LOL. This just goes to show how gullible the alt-right and white nationalists are. I bet you voted for (((trump))) too lmao. Also look at how many white nationalists proclaim their commitment to the preservation of the white race and western civilization and then they go and marry an asian woman LOL. Once again this just goes to show you how you cannot take what white nationalists say at face value. All they do is talk and talk is cheap. They oftentimes literally can't control themselves, who knows what they would do in an alternate reality where the situation was different. You certainly dont knowNo strawman needed. It is absurd. Again, I have a much better understanding than you of what white nationalists believe on these issues, and there is no evidence that your scenario is remotely likely. It’s all fearmongering and Jew hysterics.
My hypothetical scenario was extremely reasonable in spite of your attempts to strawman it and make it look absurd lol.
White nationalism is just ethnonationalism for whites, and ethnonationalism is opposed to colonialism. Now, if the majority of pro-white people were white supremacists rather than white nationalists, then you might have an argument. Fortunately, that isn’t the case.
nope. This is what I wrote verbatim:
Your only qualification was having been colonized, and by that standard, I proved you wrong. Also, assuming modern technology progresses the same way, I highly doubt all of East Asia would remain isolated, like a bunch of North Koreas or something.
(comment #403)I said related to colonialism, I didn't say it that the country had to be successfully colonized. Once again you are wrong. Factually speaking the west forced east asia to open up and this created the conditions for subsequent immigrations of millions of east asians to the west. You yourself can't even deny this point, this is why you have to dance around it.
That being said, your point about asian immigrants to the west is still related to the west’s history of colonialism. Lets just use china for an example:
once again, you don't know what would happen. Anything you say is basically conjecture since the course of the world would be so different in an alternate reality. Notice how you have to resort to hypothetical situations and assuming things in order to prop up your point? That's evidence that your original point couldnt stand on its own lol. The west forced east asia to open up and as a result this opened up the floodgates for millions of asian immigrants to come later on down the road. Even if modern technology existed in an alternate universe this doesnt mean that the political/geopolitical conditions for millions of east asian immigrants to come to the west would still exist. Its funny how you were completely BTFO on this point; in our current reality (not the hypothetical reality you like to run off to) the millions of east asian immigrants in the west are a direct result of the west forcing east asia to open up. There is absolutely no debate about this or a way to prove it wrong. The only thing you can resort to is trying to use an alternate version of history to back up your point, how weak is that?
Also, assuming modern technology progresses the same way, I highly doubt all of East Asia would remain isolated, like a bunch of North Koreas or something.
most likely its because youre incompetentI must have been looking at different numbers.
I have no idea where you got the 1.5% figure from. Immigrants from former spanish colonies equal approximately 36% of the total immigrant population in spain, not 1.5%. Maybe you got confused and were claiming that the percentage of the total population of spain that were immigrants from former colonies was equal to 1.5%? Although this figure is still incorrect since the percentage of the population that were immigrants from former colonies actually equals 4.7% of the population if we use the 2019 population numbers for spain which is 47,007,367 people.
more cope. Once again one of your poorly put together arguments gets completely destroyed and as a result you have to modify the conditions and try to change the goalposts LOL. Notice how its only you that has to change the goalposts and not me? Thats a clear indicator of somebody that has a weak argument. You were trying to claim that the largest foreign populations there were moroccans and other european immigrants (as opposed to people from their former colonies) and it turns out that you were factually wrong. You couldn't even prove your original point LOL
But even going by your numbers, 4.7% is barely anything, and I bet the majority of them are white Latin Americans. Therefore, it is perfectly possible to be a former colonial power and not have to accept as some kind of inevitability that millions of immigrants from your former colonies are going to come to your country and make you a racial minority.
actually... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Immigration_to_Spain
Therefore, it is perfectly possible to be a former colonial power and not have to accept as some kind of inevitability that millions of immigrants from your former colonies are going to come to your country and make you a racial minority.
looks like your point might actually be wrong.
Although the number of immigrants in Spain, officially, is smaller than that of other countries in the EU, the following data should be taken into consideration:Immigrants from countries belonging to the former Spanish Empire (mainly in Central and South America–Latin America–, Asia–the Philippines– and Africa–Equatorial Guinea and Western Sahara–) can obtain Spanish nationality after legal and continuous residence of 2 years in Spain, after which naturalized citizens are no longer counted as immigrants.In order to avoid statelessness, Spain automatically grants Spanish nationality to the children of immigrants born in Spain whose parents' nationality of origin is not transferred jus sanguinis upon their child's birth abroad. This is unlike many other countries in the EU.[citation needed] It is for this reason that although the Latin American immigrants of origin are most numerous, the Romanians or the Moroccans surpassed them in the official statistics.In the same way the majority of children born in Spain between 2000 and 2010 are children of immigrants despite not counting as such. Considering these data, there are sectors of Spanish society who oppose immigration that affirm the real number of immigrants in Spain is 10–11 million, or about 25% of the total population.
like I said, globalization is directly based on the foundation created by western colonization. You have shifted the topic to mass immigration because you can no longer defend your argument that modern globalization wasnt based on the foundation created by western colonialism.
Modern mass immigration has very little to do with colonialism and almost everything to do with deliberate policy set by a hostile power elite.
once again, you don't know what a hypothetical world where western colonialism had never happened would have looked like and you dont know how it would have developed. You would literally have to redo over five centuries of history. You don't know how technology would have spread, in what way, to what degree and against what political and geopolitical backdrop. Modern globalization is obviously built on the back of western colonialism.
Technology and free trade are far more important factors. Reduction in language barriers is only a small benefit to globalization. China is a perfect example of this. They were never colonized, don’t speak a European language, and yet are fully integrated into the global market because of technology and free trade.
LOL, I already went over this. The west tried to colonize china, in the process they "awoke" china and because of their actions china is now fully integrated with the rest of the world. China literally tried to shut themselves off from the rest of the world and the west forced them to open up and modernize, now as a result china is a major player in globalization. If the west had never bothered east asia and forced them to open up then the modern day would be completely different. China is actually a perfect example for proving my point right. Its an irrefutable fact that modern globalization as far as east asia is concerned is completely due to the actions of the west. This is of course dealing with real history that actually happened; im literally describing events how they historically happened, not coping and trying to make up fantasy, hypothetical alternate realities like you do.
China is a perfect example of this. They were never colonized, don’t speak a European language, and yet are fully integrated into the global market because of technology and free trade.
Yup and like most of your other arguments, this is purely conjecture. Like i've always said, its impossible for you to assume that jews, capital and the white elite would have the same function and abilities in an alternate reality where western colonialism had never happened. There are so many things that would be different. What I provided was just one single hypothetical example of how different things could have been; in actuality there are probably an infinite number of ways that things could have turned out differently. Its completely absurd for you to act like the world would have basically turned out the same had western colonialism never happened. Your argument regarding this has always been weak
I think the emancipation of the Jews was largely inevitable at some point because of the ideals of the Enlightenment and the men that espoused them. Most of whom predate the American Revolution. Your argument is predicated on assuming that the French Revolution would never have happened had the American Revolution never happened. Perhaps, perhaps not. Of course, I did put a big if at the start of my argument.
if there was a murderer who condoned and made excuses for his own murders but then claimed that it was wrong that someone else was trying to murder him then yes, this person would be considered a hypocrite. You condone and make excuses for the native american genocide but then you cry when the same thing happens to white americans.First of all, there is no hypocrisy. Is a murderer a hypocrite because he resists being murdered himself? Of course not.
Me pointing out your hypocrisy for condoning the native american genocide but getting mad over white genocide is not the same as me saying that white genocide is justified.
what I find ironic is that white nationalist morons will cry about white genocide but then they will claim that what native americans experienced wasnt genocide. What native americans went through was significantly worse than what white americans are currently going through. If what the native americans experienced wasnt genocide then what white americans are experiencing sure as hell isnt genocide.
Second of all, the native american “genocide” was largely incidental due to disease. Finally, that means you think white genocide is not justified.
because you guys are hypocritical pieces of shit. I dont care if whites fight to protect themselves or not; I literally dont care either way. I just hate POS alt-right, white nationalists who talk out both sides of their mouths. Throughout this entire debate youve strongly reminded myself of why I despise white nationalists. You guys are slimy, deceptive, dishonorable, hypocritical and arrogant. Its unfortunate for white people that the only people they have defending them are people like yourselves. Unsurprisingly, isnt it funny how white nationalists can't even get the majority of whites to support them? You guys are outcasts even amongst your own people LOL.
Why do you attack white nationalists if don’t think white genocide is justified? We’re literally the only ones resisting white genocide.
why weasel out of this? why are you trying to change the goal posts and shift the argument to something different? why not just drop the matter? this is an insignificant point overall. You wanted to claim that I was incorrectly attributing a statement to you and it turns out that you were completely wrong about this. Its not my fault you didnt read what I wrote. Youve already demonstrated a strong tendency to misread or misunderstand things numerous times throughout this conversation. You were wrong, get over it and just drop it.Why did you feel the need to clarify your position by stating something you never said you believed, and I never thought you believed in the first place? I was the one that said those things, hence, I believed you were directing your statement towards me.
its right there though; I was literally clarifying my own position. You were factually wrong when you called me out because you thought I was trying to attribute that position to you.
lmao, wrong again. You misunderstood the context of that quote. Ill post the entire conversation snippet so you can understand:I already did. Every race has at least one ethnic group that behaved in the same way that Western Europeans did. Therefore, it is correct to say that every race would have done the same if they were strong enough to do so. You were making an entirely different argument, one that I actually agree with for the most part.
whats funny is that you cant even debate this, all you can do is leave a snarky one word comment lmao
Ironically your apples and oranges argument is supporting my original thesis. For various reasons, different ethnicities might or might not have tried to dominate the world if they were in a position to do so. To say that all ethnicities/cultural blocs would have acted in the same way were they in the position of western europeans is a really broad and unprovable statement due to its inherent complexity. comment #385its right there though; I was literally clarifying my own position. You were factually wrong when you called me out because you thought I was trying to attribute that position to you.Ironic.
its genuinely not my fault that you have poor reading comprehension.
I was obviously referring to the bolded part of the quote in italics which pertains to the larger conversation that we were having. This reference is made even more clear by me subsequently referring to how all you can do is leave snarky one word comments, I obviously wasn't referring to the lengthier argument itself within. There is literally no way that you could have misunderstood this yet you were still unable to realize this for some reason though. Like I said: "you genuinely have poor reading comprehension"
whats funny is that you cant even debate this, all you can do is leave a snarky one word comment lmao
the merriam-webster dictionary says otherwise. You obviously don't know what semantically means in this context, if you did then you would realize that your argument is unnecessary. You do realize that words can possess different meanings right? There are figurative meanings, literal meanings, scientific meanings etc etc. Its becoming obvious that you don't really grasp this concept...No, they cannot. They do not mean the same thing. Ethnicity is largely related to culture. Race is a biological concept. Negroid is the race; Nigerian is the ethnicity. There is no Nigerian race. You’ll notice that nation is listed as a synonym of race. That doesn’t mean nation and race can be used interchangeably.
Once again, you are wrong. Semantically speaking the words race and ethnicity can be used interchangeably sometimes.
lol, you clearly dont understand what ethnicity means. Its amazing that im taking the time to debate with a simpleton. You have clear intellectual limitations, this in turn makes the rest of your arguments suspect as well. There's a reason why you keep losing in this debate, its because youre just not that smart. Let me break this down for you:Nigerian is not an ethnicity; nigerian is a nationality. The nigerian nationality is composed of many different ethnicities. You are clearly getting ethnicity mixed up with nationality. Ethnicity is not always the same thing as nationality, but you are clearly unaware of this.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nigerians
Negroid is the race; Nigerian is the ethnicity. There is no Nigerian race. You’ll notice that nation is listed as a synonym of race. That doesn’t mean nation and race can be used interchangeably.
That being said, per the definition in the dictionary I provided earlier, ethnicity can be a synonym for nationality under certain conditions, like lets say that you have a genetically french person that is from france. In that case their ethnicity and nationality are one and the same, however the terms ethnicity and nationality could not be used as a synonym if the french person in question was french-moroccan; in that case their nationality would be french but ethnically they would be moroccan. As you can see, under certain conditions words can function as synonyms for other words, its all highly contextual but I understand that this is a concept you have difficulty understanding due to your autism.
Nigerians or the Nigerian people are citizens of Nigeria or people with ancestry from Nigeria.[10] Nigeria is composed of various ethnic groups and cultures and the term Nigerian refers to a citizenship-based civic nationality.[10] Nigerians derive from over 250 ethnic groups and languages.
uh...you do know what a synonym is right? Its becoming really hard to take you seriously with the sheer amount of mistakes and misunderstandings that you make. You dont even know the difference between nationality and ethnicity, and on top of that you try to argue that the dictionary itself is wrong. This is really sad man, but im not surprised. You didnt even understand how a simple comparative statement works and you spent two weeks being confused about this. Youre obviously not very smart, most white nationalists arent. I dont know why white nationalism always attracts the stupidest people. Im frankly not surprised at all that jews are able to intellectually run circles around white nationalists lol
You’ll notice that nation is listed as a synonym of race. That doesn’t mean nation and race can be used interchangeably.
you claimed that you explicitly mentioned that you made a typo but you didnt; it was absent in the text I provided, ergo you were wrong. The fact that you claim that the usage of the word white nationalist should have given me a clue confirms this. If you explicitly clarified anything then by definition you wouldn't need to give out clues since you are already explicitly clarifying it. Do you not understand what the word explicitly means? lmao, even your own words prove you wrongThe usage of white nationalist thereafter should have given you a clue.
yeah I read that entire passage, you didnt explicitly clarify that you had made a typo, you were talking about something entirely different:
never claimed I was on your side. Nor am I bothered by your pathetic and clumsy attempts at moral shaming. Do you think I give a fuck? lmao. Glad you capitulated on this point. Like I said, you can't find where I specifically made that claim.Replies: @FvS
If you’re on our side, you sure have a funny way of showing it. And if you don’t care either way, then you really do fit in with that Rwandan genocide scenario I described.
its not a cope though; im literally just describing your behavior. Just because you call it a cope doesnt mean that it actually is. You argue like a little bitch lmao
Don’t be ashamed, a lot of “men” are a little effeminate these days.
why would I be salty? Im kicking your ass in this argument. Im setting the tempo and calling the shots. Youre literally my bitch. You have no idea how much im enjoying destroying your arguments. Keep responding bitch, you’re my entertainment. Also…what kind of self respecting white man unironically uses the word “salty”? youre embarrassing yourself dude. Nothing is worse than clueless white nationalists ironically co-opting contemporary colloquialisms and trying to sound hip, you just sound like a moron lol
Very, very salty. Lmao. Hope you didn’t blow a gasket when you wrote this.
this is your new retort when you run out of ways to deflect the fact that you were wrong about something. “uhhhhh I cant tell if youre trolling or not durrr”
It’s my retort when we are just arguing back and forth to no end, and I can’t possibly fathom how you could be so retarded.
then why did you include it in the first place? lmao. Secondly, of course there is reason to believe that such a thing might happen, just because you claim otherwise doesn’t make it so. You don’t know the future, you’re wrong about things in the present and most likely you’re wrong about what would happen in a hypothetical future too.
I do know what is likely to happen in the future because I know what white nationalists believe in the present, far better than you do clearly based on your fantasy projections.
Once again, the scenario I presented was extremely reasonable.
No, it wasn’t. You haven’t even been able to provide one white nationalist that argues for a return of white supremacy.
You don’t speak for all white nationalists and secondly you don’t know how or what they would do in the future under different circumstances.
Based on what they believe now, I do.
I said related to colonialism, I didn’t say it that the country had to be successfully colonized.
You did in your original point. You said that a country being colonized made it much more likely for mass emigration to their colonizing power to take place. Now, I’ve proven that a country need not be colonized for modern mass immigration from that country to take place. So sad for you.
There is absolutely no debate about this or a way to prove it wrong. The only thing you can resort to is trying to use an alternate version of history to back up your point, how weak is that?
So, you’re argument is that because something happened a certain way, there is no possible way it could have happened another way. How convenient for you.
more cope. Once again one of your poorly put together arguments gets completely destroyed and as a result you have to modify the conditions and try to change the goalposts LOL. Notice how its only you that has to change the goalposts and not me? Thats a clear indicator of somebody that has a weak argument. You were trying to claim that the largest foreign populations there were moroccans and other european immigrants (as opposed to people from their former colonies) and it turns out that you were factually wrong. You couldn’t even prove your original point LOL
I’m not factually wrong. The number of non-white immigrants from their former colonies is negligible in Spain. Returning white Spaniards doesn’t count. It’s like white Brits returning from Nigeria or India. 25% (or even 5%) of Spain’s population is definitely not mestizo or Amerindian. All of this is rather beside the point, modern mass immigration is only possible because modern governments allow it.
You don’t know how technology would have spread, in what way, to what degree and against what political and geopolitical backdrop.
So you’re existence is likely dependent on the genocide of Native Americans then. Would you undo the Native American genocide if it means you never existing?
This is of course dealing with real history that actually happened; im literally describing events how they historically happened, not coping and trying to make up fantasy, hypothetical alternate realities like you do.
Okay, but China was still never colonized. And the existence of mass migrations predates European colonialism.
if there was a murderer who condoned and made excuses for his own murders but then claimed that it was wrong that someone else was trying to murder him then yes, this person would be considered a hypocrite. You condone and make excuses for the native american genocide but then you cry when the same thing happens to white americans.
It would be more accurate to say that it is hypocritical for a non-murderer to condone and make excuses for his ancestor’s murders (because it led to his very existence) but then claim it is wrong for someone else to try and murder him. Which is false, obviously. And you can still think something is wrong (like the Native American genocide), and still not wish it happened any other way.
what I find ironic is that white nationalist morons will cry about white genocide but then they will claim that what native americans experienced wasnt genocide. What native americans went through was significantly worse than what white americans are currently going through. If what the native americans experienced wasnt genocide then what white americans are experiencing sure as hell isnt genocide.
You might call it an accidental genocide because of the smallpox spread. It wasn’t just some giant mass slaughter. But yes, native americans are in a worse situation than whites right now.
because you guys are hypocritical pieces of shit. I dont care if whites fight to protect themselves or not; I literally dont care either way. I just hate POS alt-right, white nationalists who talk out both sides of their mouths. Throughout this entire debate youve strongly reminded myself of why I despise white nationalists. You guys are slimy, deceptive, dishonorable, hypocritical and arrogant. Its unfortunate for white people that the only people they have defending them are people like yourselves. Unsurprisingly, isnt it funny how white nationalists can’t even get the majority of whites to support them? You guys are outcasts even amongst your own people LOL.
There is no hypocrisy as I’ve explained numerous times. You’re just too dumb or prideful to admit it. As for the rest of your sperg, white nationalism is on the rise, and there is nothing you can do to stop it.
why weasel out of this? why are you trying to change the goal posts and shift the argument to something different? why not just drop the matter? this is an insignificant point overall. You wanted to claim that I was incorrectly attributing a statement to you and it turns out that you were completely wrong about this. Its not my fault you didnt read what I wrote. Youve already demonstrated a strong tendency to misread or misunderstand things numerous times throughout this conversation. You were wrong, get over it and just drop it.
No, I’m not wrong because what you wrote made no sense in any other context and could only be taken one way. But I do agree this is an insignificant point overall.
the merriam-webster dictionary says otherwise. You obviously don’t know what semantically means in this context, if you did then you would realize that your argument is unnecessary. You do realize that words can possess different meanings right? There are figurative meanings, literal meanings, scientific meanings etc etc. Its becoming obvious that you don’t really grasp this concept…
Ethnicity and race do not mean the same thing.
lol, you clearly dont understand what ethnicity means. Its amazing that im taking the time to debate with a simpleton. You have clear intellectual limitations, this in turn makes the rest of your arguments suspect as well. There’s a reason why you keep losing in this debate, its because youre just not that smart. Let me break this down for you:
Nigerian is not an ethnicity; nigerian is a nationality. The nigerian nationality is composed of many different ethnicities. You are clearly getting ethnicity mixed up with nationality. Ethnicity is not always the same thing as nationality, but you are clearly unaware of this.
Nigerian is an ethnicity and a nationality, you brainlet. Let me ask you this, is Nigerian-American an ethnic group? Or do we call them Yoruba-Americans? You can belong to multiple levels of different ethnic groups.
As you can see, under certain conditions words can function as synonyms for other words, its all highly contextual but I understand that this is a concept you have difficulty understanding due to your autism.
Nationality and ethnicity are more interchangeable than ethnicity and race. Nigerian is both a nationality and ethnicity, but virtually no one ever refers to a Nigerian or even Yoruban race. You’re just embarrassing yourself again.
you claimed that you explicitly mentioned that you made a typo but you didnt; it was absent in the text I provided, ergo you were wrong. The fact that you claim that the usage of the word white nationalist should have given me a clue confirms this. If you explicitly clarified anything then by definition you wouldn’t need to give out clues since you are already explicitly clarifying it. Do you not understand what the word explicitly means? lmao, even your own words prove you wrong
When did I claim that I explicitly mentioned that I made a typo? I just made the correction in subsequent posts and thought you were smart enough to pick up on it. Guess I was wrong.
never claimed I was on your side. Nor am I bothered by your pathetic and clumsy attempts at moral shaming. Do you think I give a fuck? lmao. Glad you capitulated on this point. Like I said, you can’t find where I specifically made that claim.
I’m glad you admitted to supporting white genocide and that you are a hypocrite.
nah, you brought it up because your original argument was getting trashed and you knew it lolIt’s icing on the cake.
if you still stand by your original argument then why did you bring up christianity?
lol, this isnt an answer. You didn't address anything I wrote:Mongolians, Imperial Japanese, Aztecs, Bantus, etc.
Not necessarily. I already addressed this; different races exhibit different traits and also exhibit different degrees of certain traits when compared to other races. According to HBD we follow this logic for all other traits, why wouldnt we apply it to the traits that would undergird the desire/inclination for conquest and domination? You don’t know if all of the other races would have tried to dominate the entire world, to try to say otherwise is making a racial blank-slate argument.

Its obvious that youre trying to selectively support HBD when it fits you and then use racial blank-slate arguments when HBD is inconvenient LOL.
Lets take intelligence for example; asians are intelligent, so are whites, does this mean that asians will have the same intellectual abilities as whites? nope. Does this mean that asians will be able to impact the external world with their intellect to the same degree as whites can? nope. So why would the desire/inclination for domination be any different when applied to the different races? Different races all have demonstrated the desire for domination/conquest but this doesn’t automatically mean that they would express this desire in the same way and to the same degree under identical circumstances. You can even see the same thing in society; in theory all races in the US have equal access to the same opportunities (NAMs actually have greater access to opportunities) however not all races bother to use these opportunities equally. Generally speaking different races in the US show different levels of drive and ambition and this in turn results in different outcomes. Its the same thing when applied to the hypothetical situation of the different races having the same resources and whether or not they would try to dominate the entire world. Different races will lead to different outcomes. Racial differences exist, I dont know why you keep trying to argue that they wouldnt apply in a situation like this.
This doesn't address my statement though. You claimed that all other races would have done the same, but then you claimed that racial differences in wanting to dominate others might exist. Your statements contradict each other, so which one is it?All races have groups that tried to take as much territory as possible at some point. Why is it so hard for you to imagine what the Mongolians would have done with European weapons and ships?
These are mutually exclusive beliefs. The fact that racial differences in wanting to dominate others might exist means that you cannot definitely claim that all other races would have done the same if they were in the position of whites.
this is the same as the christianity argument, this point is irrelevant to your original argument which was based on strength/ability alone; you never said anything about internecine competition being relevant. Why are you continuing to move goal posts? Why cant you stick with your original argument? :)
There is also another point that I never brought up and that is the nature of the competition between all the various European countries. The virtual stalemate that existed forced the competition outwards.
Why sidestep this? You wanted to argue that kotte functioned as a pitstop and it turns out that you were wrong about this, I'll be expecting you to address this in your next response. Provide proof of your assertion or admit that you cannot. Also portuguese india is like right next to kotte lmao. wow...how did you not know that?What’s closer to China, Portuguese controlled India or Kotte?
the portugese already had cochin and malacca as well as other “colonies” in the area. Portuguese controlled territory in the area was called portuguese india. Actual direct portuguese colonial administration of kotte did not begin until long after portugese india had already been well established (1597). Your reasoning for why they wanted to possess kotte is chronologically and factually wrong:
its irrelevant whether or not they were sending ships to portugal lol. This is your own contrived logic that you've created. Colonies are not always created to serve as pitstops unlike what you're trying to suggest. Colonies can be created for any number of reasons. Here's what is said with regards to chinese interests in relation to the area around the kotte kingdom:
Also, when was China sending ships to Portugal again?
The chinese had interests in that area, as such that's sufficient reason to establish a colony, especially when you consider how far away the kotte kingdom was from china. Needing to establish a pitstop is not the only reason why people would want to establish a colony; this is only your own subjective opinion, its not an objective fact. Most importantly, you were trying to claim that kotte was intended to function as a pitstop and it turns out that you were factually wrong about its purpose:
During the Ming treasure voyages, a large Chinese fleet led by Admiral Zheng He arrived in local waters to establish Chinese control and stability of the maritime routes in the waters around Ceylon and southern India.[3] Alakeshvara posed a threat to Chinese trade by committing piracy and hostilities in the local waters.[3]
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Portuguese presence in the island lasted from 1505 to 1658. Their arrival was largely accidental, and the Portuguese sought control of commerce, rather than territory.
yawn, keep conflating brohttps://www.thefreedictionary.com/Economic+colonialism
thats funny because debt-trap diplomacy and buying off foreign politicians don’t constitute colonialism either. These actions can be considered unethical or scummy, but that doesn’t mean that they are equivalent to colonialism (assuming that either of these allegations is even true on a broad scale to begin with). African countries are free to stop working with china, china isn’t forcing them to do anything. Is china holding a gun to their heads and forcing them to work with them? China doesn’t even have the military force projection ability to coerce these african countries to work with it lol.
https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/conflateI merely asked if you supported what they were doing there as it is clear they are engaging in a form of colonialism. You have never addressed the fact that there are many ways to engage in colonialism.lmao youre you’re literally trying to conflate them right now:
No, I never was trying to conflate them. That is a strawman. I merely asked if you supported what they were doing there as it is clear they are engaging in a form of colonialism. You have never addressed the fact that there are many ways to engage in colonialism.
yeah I did, I picked them apart piece by piece. You didn't answer a single one, if you were able to refute the arguments that I brought up then you would have done so already but you didntI didn’t abandon anything. You just didn’t successfully refute the points so I saw no point in going on about it.
BTW I already read each of your links in its entirety, I didn’t find any of them particularly convincing. Most of the articles came across as speculation, exaggeration and conjecture. Its also pretty funny that youve already abandoned your arbitrary list of four things that you claimed constitute colonialism lol.
so what you were saying was just conjecture that you pulled out of your ass and you can't back up your point. Thats what I thought :)Yes, I too think it makes sense to invade other countries when there is an imperial power on my doorstep. /s
this is completely your conjecture, you’re literally pulling this out your ass. You have no basis for this statement, if you do then provide proof. Seriously, I want you to provide me proof of your assertion
hey man youre the one who's making these pro-colonialism arguments not me. You obviously dont think that colonialism is as bad as youre claiming if you keep trying to point out the positive aspects about it. Just to make it clear, I understand that saying that there are positive aspects of X doesnt necessarily mean that you think it should have happened in the first place, but thats not whats really being discussed here. Whats happening here is that you're trying to convince me and hypothetical others that youre against colonialism and that you think its wrong but then you keep making up excuses for colonialism and trying to point out the good aspects of it. In other words, you're undermining your own credibility by doing this. You can get away with this kind of "logic" when you talk to other white nationalists but if you try to convince regular people with this logic then they're going to tell you that youre full of shit. Im just letting you know for your own benefit lol, you're free to do what you want to though. Also you were completely wrong about the claim below:For the millionth time, saying there were positive aspects of colonialism doesn’t mean you think it should have happened in the first place. As for the Japanese and the Chinese, that helps prove my original point about the behavior of all races.
Secondly, this is also a really odd argument for a person that is supposedly against colonialism to make. Wow…it almost sounds like you’re trying to justify colonialism. You’re literally too stupid to hide your own pro-colonialism leanings and it ends up leaking out sooner or later lol. Also you are aware that the japanese themselves killed up to 20 million chinese right?
what you were saying was completely historically incorrect lol. I notice you didnt even bother to acknowledge that. Japanese colonization was one of the main reasons that the communists ended up taking over china LOL. you were completely wrong about that
The Japanese were not. They wouldn’t have tried to conquer their neighbors if they were. And if China was colonized, tens of millions of Chinese would still be alive due to no communist revolution and due to improved infrastructure.
oh haha, so you were wrong lolNot literally every single time, but most of the time they do, especially if they’ve been living in the presence of other races for a prolonged period.
You’ve completely contradicted yourself here, apparently according even to you, people do not inherently value their race over their ethnicity.
still waiting for your answer. You claimed that there are many places where different proximate racial majority nations intersect and there is no alliance, so can you back up your assertion? Im not even saying youre wrong, but I want to see if you can back up what you claimed or not.of course proximity is the main factor, supranational alliances are based on a multitude of important factors but typically geographical location is (obviously) one of the most important ones. Your second point about places where different proximate racial majority nations intersect and there being no alliances doesn’t disprove my point that supranational alliances are based on many factors besides just race. It has no bearing at all on my point.
Maybe proximity is the main factor, but there are many places where different proximate racial majority nations intersect and there is no alliance.
That being said, even though you didn’t disprove my point I am curious if you can even back up your assertion. Can you provide me a list of these many places where different proximate racial majority nations intersect and there is no alliance? You said there are many, while I doubt what you’re saying, I want to see if you can actually back up your claim.
so your point about pan-asian advocacy organizations couldnt prove your point, gotcha. Secondly, what ive observed is that some asian-americans prefer the company of other asians but other asian-americans (many actually) tend to hang out with mixed groups. Asian-americans are not pan-racial to the same degree as african americans. More important is the fact that this point doesn't prove me wrong because im not even denying that there is some degree of pan-racial camaraderie in the asian-american community, this was always acknowledged. What I was arguing against is the idea that asian-americans value their race over their ethnicity. Asian-americans typically do not exalt a pan-racial identity over their own unique ethnic identities. I went over this in detail in comment #414 and I also already addressed the articles you posted as well:Based on the articles I posted and my own observations that Asian-Americans have no problem sticking together and prefer the company of other old Asian ethnic groups over other groups of different races, I think we can make a safe assumption.
the fact that pan-asian advocacy organizations exist doesnt prove that the majority of real, actual asian americans on the ground value their race over their ethnicity. You wanted to claim that asian americans value race over ethnicity but the link you provided doesn’t prove that asian americans value race over ethnicity, it only proves that there are some organizations which promote pan-asianism. You cannot deduce from this how all asian-americans collectively feel with regards to race and its relative importance compared to their respective ethnicities.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I read both of these articles, they’re interesting articles but they don’t prove your point. Just because some asian-americans band together to promote pan-asian identity politics doesn’t mean that all or even most asian americans feel this way. The reality on the ground with your average asian-american is much different. They are not pan-racial to the extent that african-americans are for example. Like I said, in my experience when it comes to asian-americans, they primarily identify with their ethnicity first, a sense of pan-racial asian identity is either equal to this or comes in second place but doesnt supercede their ethnic identity like you were claiming, and then of course many asian-americans don’t care about their ethnicity or their race. The situation in real life regarding asian-americans and pan-racial identity is much more complexed and nuanced than you’re trying to argue it is.
lol its a perfectly apt comparison:No, that’s a false comparison because pan-Asian organizations and white nationalist organizations don’t advocate the same relative things. It’s amazing how stupid you are.
This is equivalent to pulling up a list of white nationalist organizations and claiming that it somehow represents how all whites feel. Its amazing how stupid you are
ok, do you have data showing where liberals tend to live? You've made a claim about rich whites, but rich whites are not the same as all liberals. Some or even many rich whites are liberal, but that's not the same as saying that all liberals are rich whites. So do you have some data showing the kind of neighborhoods that liberals (and not just rich whites) tend to live in?This is demonstrably false. Rich whites live in notoriously heavy white neighborhoods.
from what ive seen race-blind liberals are happy to live with people from a similar socio-economic class regardless of their race; as for their associations I see a ton of white liberal males and white liberal females with romantic partners and friends of different races. If anything I think that race-blind liberals probably try to avoid low-class black people more than anything, but they’re basically fine with every other racial and socio-economic demographic. You’re confusing the role that socio-economic status plays with the role that race plays. The instinct for pan-racial sentiment is much less strong than you think it is; this is why its so malleable in the first place.
can you prove this? Im not even claiming that this claim is wrong, but im curious if you provide facts to back it up or not.
Interracial relationships among white liberals are still a tiny
we're discussing white liberals, where rich blacks live has nothing to do with your point about white liberals
Rich blacks prefer living among other rich blacks. minority.

you claimed the following:No, you’re wrong. A person can belong to multiple ethnic groups at the same time. Typically, the most broad ethnic group that a person belongs to correlates with their nationality. What you’re saying is that the American, German, Bolivian, Vietnamese, etc. ethnic groups do not exist.
yeah you’re wrong lol. Ethnicity is a biological reality, just like race is. How can you not know this? LMAO. You’re confusing ethnicity with nationality, which is largely cultural. How the fuck do you not know this? That fact that you didn’t know this casts a large shadow of doubt over your other arguments as well. You’ve been factually wrong about so many things so far, its becoming hard to take you seriously.
Ethnicity cannot be changed, it is a biological reality:
Ethnicity can be changed, race can not. It is biological reality. That alone proves that race is the more important factor. Ethnicity is largely cultural.
so youve resorted to just responding with random, non-tangential nonsense. I guess if this is how you want to cope with being proven wrong then so be it. Not sure how saying: "Ah, your true hatred of whites is revealing itself. " proves anything I said wrong.Ah, your true hatred of whites is revealing itself.
1.you indeed were wrong in your original assertion where you forgot about the context in which the viking example was given. So you were wrong, there is no arguing about this.
2.what youre saying is still autistic bullshit that doesnt apply in the real world. Which is why vikings had no problems fucking up anglosaxons; the vikings could give a rats ass about your opinion that them invading the anglosaxons was racially self-destructive. This just goes to show how delusional and detached from reality you are; you persist in believing in your non-sense even though it doesnt reflect real world conditions. The jews OTOH exist in reality and are very pragmatic, they dont delude themselves with nonsense like you do, I can see why they’re winning and white nationalists are losing.
yeah and "what is" is the fact that the vikings had no problems fucking up the anglo-saxons even though this act is "racially self-destructive" lol. The point? Your logic about racially similar people attacking each other being self destructive is basically mental masturbation that has zero influence on how people choose to act in the real world.Replies: @FvS
And it doesn’t matter what the vikings thought, it just matters what is.
I already addressed this, why did you ignore it? Proportionality has nothing to do with who the aggressor is.How can you not understand the concept of proportionality? Let’s say you kill my dog, and I respond by enslaving you entire family for multiple generations. At some point, I became the aggressor.
As I suggested above, the most important thing is the fact that had the prime minister lu jia acted differently and allowed himself to be arrested by the emperor of the han dynasty then the entire situation could have been avoided, instead he decided to murder both the queen dowager jiu and the king AND declared war on the han dynasty. Its quite obvious that in this situation the prime minister lu jia made some poor decisions and his actions qualify the state of nanyue as the “aggressor”.
If I kill your dog and you respond by enslaving my entire family for multiple generations then your actions might be harsh but it still doesnt make you the aggressor.
Just because a response seems out of proportion to you doesn’t change the fact of who the aggressor is. I hope you realize that. If tom and jerry get into an argument and tom slaps jerry and then jerry pulls out a gun and shoots tom in the head then tom is still the aggressor. Jerry’s response might be out of proportion, but that doesn’t change who the aggressor is. Im sorry but your whole argument about who the aggressor is and isnt is silly and a weak argument, that’s why you keep having to change the goalposts with your “aggressor” argument. I sort of get the feeling that you don’t really know what the word “aggressor” means…
Also I noticed you didnt respond to what else I wrote about proportionality. Since you feel that the concept of proportionality is so important to your "aggressor" argument then you need to explain to me what is the fundamental "law" that undergirds your idea of proportionality. Proportionality doesnt objectively exist, its only a subjective notion. Can you provide some proof that there is a fundamental "law" or "force" which makes your notion of proportionality objectively enforceable? If you cannot prove that the concept of proportionality both objectively exists and is able to be enforceable then your arguments relying on the concept of proportionality cannot be used to credibly support your "aggressor" argument anyways. At that point your argument of "proportionality" only becomes a matter of opinion instead of the objective and enforceable law that youre trying to argue it is. See below:
a person or country that starts an argument, fight, or war by attacking first
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Furthermore you seem really bluepilled with your concept of how you think a response should be “proportional”. Is there some cosmic law which upholds this idea? Or is this just your own subjective, personal reasoning? Just because you think that a response should be proportional doesn’t mean that reality will conform with this idea. Please tell me, what is the fundamental force which backs up your belief that a response should be proportional? Reality and history are full of situations where one action leads to a disproportionate response. Take for example the assassination of archduke franz ferdinand, an entire world war killing millions upon millions of people all began with a single murder. According to your logic, this would be a disproportionate response however…that’s not how reality works. There is no cosmic law or force which demands that all actions should deserve a proportional response. Reality is complex, unexpected and oftentimes unfair. The fact that you seem to believe that a response to a given action should be proportional just goes to show how out of touch with reality your thinking is. Your thinking is just as loony and out of touch with reality as a liberal’s thinking is.
you didnt address the point though. And my point has nothing to do with holding future generations responsible for the actions of past generations. See below:See above. And holding future generations responsible for the actions of past generations is inherently unjust.
Even the greatest conflicts start somewhere and somehow. The schism between the jews and the west started at some point and escalated from there, its entirely possible that that event was the jewish-roman wars. Its disingenuous for you to act like im literally claiming that jews’ current actions are a direct response to romans overthrowing their temple. I suspect you know this too but you were just grasping for any argument to use, no matter how tenuous it was.
I was explaining in an objective, unopinionated sense the possible genesis of the schism between jews and gentile whites. You wanted to claim that jews are the aggressors but actually gentile whites might have been the true aggressors. If thats the case then jews are no longer the aggressors anymore. This point has nothing to do with assigning guilt or blame to people, its solely about demonstrating in an objective sense who the aggressors could be on a macro, cultural scale.
I stated that its possible that the jewish-roman wars could have been what started the initial schism between jews and the west; what the jews are currently doing to the west is not a direct response to the romans overthrowing their temple but rather the result of a long back and forth between jews and gentile whites which possibly began with the romans overthrowing the jews’ temple. Its amazing how poor your ability is to understand how events and situations incrementally unfold and evolve in real life.
Unfortunately your response misses the mark because I wasn't ever claiming that the modern west is beholden to the actions of the roman empire. Read what I wrote again very very carefully:It still doesn’t change the fact that the modern West shouldn’t be beholden to the actions of the Roman Empire.
medieval western christendom (the direct predecessor to the modern west) came from the roman empire. Therefore your implication that im wrong about this is actually incorrect. Do you not even know the history of the west? lol
The key word here is escalation; the schism between the jews and the west may have started with the jewish-roman wars and then it just evolved and escalated from there. You do know what schism means right? It kind of seems like maybe you don't understand the argument that is being made here...

I dont have to resort to deflection because I was never arguing against the point that whites have changed. The fact that whites have changed was never a point of contention. You can go back as early as comment #285 to see where we were discussing how whites have changed and the reasons for those changes:Whether they gave them up out of goodwill is irrelevant to my point about how beliefs about colonialism can and did change. There is no way for you to argue that point which is why you resort to deflection.
Once again just to be completely clear, my original point was that you wanted to claim that whites gave up their colonies out of goodwill and it turns out that you were wrong. Whether or not whites have largely changed their beliefs about colonialism is a separate argument.
As you can see im very clearly acknowledging the fact that whites have changed, therefore your assertion that im somehow deflecting and trying to argue that whites havent changed is factually wrong. So, lets go over this one more time. There are two arguments here:
Jews also played a large role in the civil rights movement which was probably the biggest factor in helping to end white supremacy ideology and promote racial egalitarianism (which by default is the opposite of white supremacy). Therefore your contention that whites were able to change by themselves is incorrect, ironically it was jews who played a large role in helping whites to reform and shed white supremacy ideology. Without jews helping to reeducate the west then the west would still be pro-colonization and white supremacist. You say youre against white supremacy and against white colonization so actually you have the jews to thank for helping make the west and whites the way they are today.
https://www.dictionary.com/browse/white-supremacyThe backwater, no-name dictionary websites that you posted are wrong. Here are some ones that actually have merit. Just give up.
LOL. So now you are claiming that even dictionaries themselves are wrong. This is rich, I guess words only mean what you want them to mean right? Its amazing how delusional you are. Like I said, there are multiple definitions of white supremacy and you were wrong about this. Remember, you were confused over a simple comparative statement for two weeks. Youre a moron dude. Why should I take anyone seriously that doesn’t even understand the difference between nationality and ethnicity?

https://www.adl.org/resources/glossary-terms/white-supremacy
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/White_supremacy
Keep in mind that the meaning of the word dominant is not equal to the meaning of the word dominate. If you don't believe me then go and look up the definition of dominant for yourself lol. This definition of white supremacy doesn't say anything about whites actively dominating/controlling others, it just talks about whites being dominant in society.
the belief, theory, or doctrine that white people are inherently superior to people from all other racial and ethnic groups, especially Black people, and are therefore rightfully the dominant group in any society.
and then here is the second definition from the same page, its near the bottom:
more important, strong, or noticeable than anything else of the same type:
a dominant military power
Unemployment will be a dominant issue in the next election.
Ironically you just proved your own point wrong again by posting the adl.org definition; I was actually the first one to post this definition (comment #402)
the theory or belief that White people are innately superior to people of other races
Both of the sources that you provided and claimed were credible have definitions of white supremacy which are congruent with the definition of white supremacy that I was originally using. Its like I said, there are multiple definitions of white supremacy. Since you seem so confused about this, maybe you should break down the term "white supremacy" and try to see what the word "supreme" by itself actually means:
1) whites should have dominance over people of other backgrounds, especially where they may co-exist; 2) whites should live by themselves in a whites-only society; 3) white people have their own "culture" that is superior to other cultures; 4) white people are genetically superior to other people.
Supreme is oftentimes used to mean the highest or the best; notice that the definition of supreme says nothing about dominating others? The concept of dominating others when it comes to the usage of the word "supremacy" in the context of the term "white supremacy" is a secondarily derived implied meaning, the actual definition of supremacy has nothing to do with literally dominating others:

whats there to rebut? You claim that colonialism is morally bad but then you go and try to bring up silver linings about it. It just makes you look like a hypocrite, but if youre fine with looking like a hypocrite then so be it. A person who truly feels morally opposed to something is not going to make up excuses or point out positive aspects (even if true) about the thing which he claims to be morally opposed to. Thats contradictory behavior, not really sure why you dont understand this lolNo rebuttal, I see.
Making silver linings arguments make you sound insincere about your “colonization bad!” stance, but hey man if you want people to think you’re full of shit then by all means continue to make silver lining arguments. You’re truly too autistic or too arrogant to understand this
This is the very definition of hypocrisy though. You are claiming that white nationalists are anti-colonialism but this is incongruent with white nationalists going and make excuses for colonialism (either japanese colonialism like you were doing earlier or past colonialism done by the west).No, there isn’t, you brainlet. Because past white supremacy and past white supremacists have nothing to do with modern white nationalists or white nationalism. How can you not understand this concept? Lmao. Just because you wouldn’t undo something that literally led to the foundation of your country as you know it hundreds of years ago, doesn’t mean you want to keep doing that thing to other people in the present. Nor does that mean that you are a hypocrite for resisting when another group is doing it to you in the present.
yeah there is hypocrisy. If white nationalists want to continue to make excuses for past white supremacy then they have no room to complain about jewish supremacy.
Im not really sure what the issue here is. You're a white nationalist who claims to be anti-colonialism but then you make up excuses and defend past instances of colonialism. That makes you a hypocrite per the definition above. If you just stop condoning past instances of colonialism then you can condemn jewish supremacy without being a hypocrite. Alternately if you retract your claim that you're anti-colonialism then you can also condemn jewish supremacy without being a hypocrite. Im not really sure why you're so bothered by me (correctly) calling you a hypocrite. Its just a term, if you're a hypocrite then you're a hypocrite, it is what it is.
Definition of hypocrisy
1: a feigning to be what one is not or to believe what one does not : behavior that contradicts what one claims to believe or feel
His hypocrisy was finally revealed with the publication of his private letters.
especially : the false assumption of an appearance of virtue or religion
our conventional morality often serves as a cover for hypocrisy and selfishness

I never said you had to give up your country lol. Its pretty clear that the crux of this argument is that you think im trying to tell you what you should or shouldnt do in terms of actions; actually im just telling you what I think you are in terms of rhetoric. The fact that you condone the displacement of the native americans but then go and complain that the same thing happening to white americans is unfair makes you a hypocrite, but just because you're a hypocrite doesn't mean that you're allowed/not allowed to act in a certain way. Do you understand this? You're a hypocrite, there is no arguing about this, but even though you're a hypocrite you still have the "right" to go and try to fight your own displacement. These are two separate concepts which you're mistakenly conflating. The fact that youre a hypocrite and the fact that you want to fight against your own displacement are not mutually exclusive concepts, they can both exist at once. I understand that you have had a lot of trouble understanding this thoughIt is unfair. They are both unfair. But my very existence depends on the first having taken place. I think the Native American displacement was wrong, but I wouldn’t undo it. Does that make sense to you?
I was pointing out your hypocrisy; its absurd how you condone the displacement of the native americans but then go and complain about how the same thing happening to white americans is unfair.
what would I be ashamed of? im not the one acting effeminate, you are lol. You do realize that I know what you're doing right? Just because you project on to me and claim that im doing a certain thing doesn't make it true, you and I both know that. Kind of sad that you have to resort to non-sensical mindgames when its clear that you can't refute somethingDon’t be ashamed, a lot of “men” are a little effeminate these days.
its not a cope though; im literally just describing your behavior. Just because you call it a cope doesnt mean that it actually is. You argue like a little bitch lmao
lol, I have no reason to be "salty" though. You're the one who keeps getting his arguments destroyed. You and I both know that LOLVery, very salty. Lmao. Hope you didn’t blow a gasket when you wrote this.
why would I be salty? Im kicking your ass in this argument. Im setting the tempo and calling the shots. Youre literally my bitch. You have no idea how much im enjoying destroying your arguments. Keep responding bitch, you’re my entertainment. Also…what kind of self respecting white man unironically uses the word “salty”? youre embarrassing yourself dude. Nothing is worse than clueless white nationalists ironically co-opting contemporary colloquialisms and trying to sound hip, you just sound like a moron lol
you were wrong about a minor point but you're so butthurt about it that you couldnt just drop it lolIt’s my retort when we are just arguing back and forth to no end, and I can’t possibly fathom how you could be so retarded.
this is your new retort when you run out of ways to deflect the fact that you were wrong about something. “uhhhhh I cant tell if youre trolling or not durrr”
why didnt you answer what I wrote before?I do know what is likely to happen in the future because I know what white nationalists believe in the present, far better than you do clearly based on your fantasy projections.
then why did you include it in the first place? lmao. Secondly, of course there is reason to believe that such a thing might happen, just because you claim otherwise doesn’t make it so. You don’t know the future, you’re wrong about things in the present and most likely you’re wrong about what would happen in a hypothetical future too.
you really dont know what is likely to happen in the future, what white nationalists claim to believe is irrelevant to what they actually end up doing. I mean white nationalists claim to be jew wise but then they went out and supported (((trump))) en masse LMAO.
except you did strawman it lol. Once again, the scenario I presented was extremely reasonable. You don’t speak for all white nationalists and secondly you don’t know how or what they would do in the future under different circumstances. Just because you claim to know something doesnt mean that you actually do. Look at how many white nationalists used to claim that the US democratic voting system was rigged but then in 2016 they all went out and voted for (((trump))) LOL. This just goes to show how gullible the alt-right and white nationalists are. I bet you voted for (((trump))) too lmao. Also look at how many white nationalists proclaim their commitment to the preservation of the white race and western civilization and then they go and marry an asian woman LOL. Once again this just goes to show you how you cannot take what white nationalists say at face value. All they do is talk and talk is cheap. They oftentimes literally can’t control themselves, who knows what they would do in an alternate reality where the situation was different. You certainly dont know
lol nor do I have to. As I said before, you dont know the future and you dont know what all white nationalists would do in a given future. Just because you claim that you represent all white nationalists doesn't mean that you actually do.No, it wasn’t. You haven’t even been able to provide one white nationalist that argues for a return of white supremacy.
Once again, the scenario I presented was extremely reasonable.
yeah no you dont, although you think you do lol. You claim to speak for all white nationalists and you claim to know what they would do; if this is so then why did so many white nationalists genuinely support (((trump)))? You present yourself as a spokesperson for white nationalists and you talk about how evil jewish power is yet the very people that you claim to represent (and that you claim to know how they think and act) went ahead and voted for a jew puppet LOL. You can't even make the excuse that it was a "strategic" act (LOL) because there were a ton of white nationalists who genuinely believed that (((trump))) was the real deal LOL. Like I said man, you don't represent all white nationalists nor do you know what they would do in the future.Based on what they believe now, I do.
You don’t speak for all white nationalists and secondly you don’t know how or what they would do in the future under different circumstances.
except the west did attempt to colonize china though. Where did I claim that the country had to be successfully colonized like you're suggesting?You did in your original point. You said that a country being colonized made it much more likely for mass emigration to their colonizing power to take place. Now, I’ve proven that a country need not be colonized for modern mass immigration from that country to take place. So sad for you.
I said related to colonialism, I didn’t say it that the country had to be successfully colonized.
According to you colonialism is colonialism. This is exactly what the british did in the opium wars, but a lot of western countries jumped in as well and tried to exploit china as well. This is also the same thing that happened when commodore perry forced japan to open up as well. According to the definition that you yourself supplied and the logic that you've been trying to use to claim that china is colonizing africa, this actually means that china was colonized too. Looks like you are proven wrong by your own logic lol.
The policy or practice of a wealthy or powerful nation in extending its influence into a less developed one, especially in exploiting that nation's resources.
why leave out the rest of the response?So, you’re argument is that because something happened a certain way, there is no possible way it could have happened another way. How convenient for you.
There is absolutely no debate about this or a way to prove it wrong. The only thing you can resort to is trying to use an alternate version of history to back up your point, how weak is that?
what I wrote makes perfect sense when put in context. You just have to remove things from context because you lack more substantial arguments or ways of disproving my points lol. Notice how I dont have to resort to doing that? Its because I actually have good arguments, you dontonce again, you don’t know what would happen. Anything you say is basically conjecture since the course of the world would be so different in an alternate reality. Notice how you have to resort to hypothetical situations and assuming things in order to prop up your point? That’s evidence that your original point couldnt stand on its own lol. The west forced east asia to open up and as a result this opened up the floodgates for millions of asian immigrants to come later on down the road. Even if modern technology existed in an alternate universe this doesnt mean that the political/geopolitical conditions for millions of east asian immigrants to come to the west would still exist. Its funny how you were completely BTFO on this point; in our current reality (not the hypothetical reality you like to run off to) the millions of east asian immigrants in the west are a direct result of the west forcing east asia to open up. There is absolutely no debate about this or a way to prove it wrong. The only thing you can resort to is trying to use an alternate version of history to back up your point, how weak is that?
Also, assuming modern technology progresses the same way, I highly doubt all of East Asia would remain isolated, like a bunch of North Koreas or something.
yeah you are factually wrong. You claimed that the largest foreign populations there were from moroccans and other european immigrants and it turns out that the largest foreign population group is from their former colonies. You were completely wrong about thisI’m not factually wrong. The number of non-white immigrants from their former colonies is negligible in Spain. Returning white Spaniards doesn’t count. It’s like white Brits returning from Nigeria or India. 25% (or even 5%) of Spain’s population is definitely not mestizo or Amerindian. All of this is rather beside the point, modern mass immigration is only possible because modern governments allow it.
more cope. Once again one of your poorly put together arguments gets completely destroyed and as a result you have to modify the conditions and try to change the goalposts LOL. Notice how its only you that has to change the goalposts and not me? Thats a clear indicator of somebody that has a weak argument. You were trying to claim that the largest foreign populations there were moroccans and other european immigrants (as opposed to people from their former colonies) and it turns out that you were factually wrong. You couldn’t even prove your original point LOL
I dont recall claiming otherwise, perhaps you can find where I denied this? Im serious, if you can then find where I was claiming otherwise. Ive always made the argument that western colonization helped bring about modern globalization which in turn brought about the conditions under which mass immigration could occur. I never denied that modern mass immigration happens because modern governments allow it to happen.
All of this is rather beside the point, modern mass immigration is only possible because modern governments allow it.
thats funny because this point has nothing to do with what I wrote:So you’re existence is likely dependent on the genocide of Native Americans then. Would you undo the Native American genocide if it means you never existing?
You don’t know how technology would have spread, in what way, to what degree and against what political and geopolitical backdrop.
you were trying to claim that modern globalization would have happened anyways and I was arguing that modern globalization was built on the back of western colonialism. Your question about the genocide of the native americans isnt relevant to this at all. Im guessing you didnt have a real argument so that's why you just came up with this random questionReplies: @FvSonce again, you don’t know what a hypothetical world where western colonialism had never happened would have looked like and you dont know how it would have developed. You would literally have to redo over five centuries of history. You don’t know how technology would have spread, in what way, to what degree and against what political and geopolitical backdrop. Modern globalization is obviously built on the back of western colonialism.
Technology and free trade are far more important factors. Reduction in language barriers is only a small benefit to globalization. China is a perfect example of this. They were never colonized, don’t speak a European language, and yet are fully integrated into the global market because of technology and free trade.
The fact that mass migrations predate european colonialism doesn't disprove the fact that western colonization is directly responsible for modern globalization. The specific, modern iteration of globalization that we now know is directly connected to western colonization. Prior mass migrations predating european colonialism has nothing to do with the specific version of globalization that we are now experiencing. The specific modern globalized world that we are now experiencing is a direct result of western colonization; had western colonization not happened then we would not be experiencing the current, specific form of globalization which is currently happening that you complain about. Im not sure why you thought your claim about mass migrations predating european colonialism was somehow a suitable argument. Western colonization is directly responsible for modern globalization, notice that you can no longer refute this this is why you have to resort to arguments talking about hypothetical scenarios.Okay, but China was still never colonized. And the existence of mass migrations predates European colonialism.
This is of course dealing with real history that actually happened; im literally describing events how they historically happened, not coping and trying to make up fantasy, hypothetical alternate realities like you do.
I already addressed this but I think its worth going over again just to make this clear. The fact that the non-murderer's ancestor's murders led to the existence of the non-murderer himself is irrelevant in terms of determining whether or not there is hypocrisy. You're accidentally entangling factors here. The fact that the non-murderer's ancestor's murders led to the existence of the non-murderer himself and the fact that the non-murderer himself is a hypocrite are not mutually exclusive concepts. You need to learn what hypocrisy entails and doesn't entail. You're mistakenly overextending the meaning of the concept of hypocrisy to have a certain type of significance which it actually doesnt have.It would be more accurate to say that it is hypocritical for a non-murderer to condone and make excuses for his ancestor’s murders (because it led to his very existence) but then claim it is wrong for someone else to try and murder him. Which is false, obviously. And you can still think something is wrong (like the Native American genocide), and still not wish it happened any other way.
if there was a murderer who condoned and made excuses for his own murders but then claimed that it was wrong that someone else was trying to murder him then yes, this person would be considered a hypocrite. You condone and make excuses for the native american genocide but then you cry when the same thing happens to white americans.
If a non-murderer claims that it is wrong for someone to try to murder him but then condones and makes excuses for his ancestor murdering people then it makes him a hypocrite period. The non-murderer is essentially claiming that murder is wrong but then engaging in behavior which condones murder. This is contradictory behavior. Whether or not the murders were necessary to bring the non-murderer into existence has no bearing on whether or not the non-murderer is a hypocrite.
a feigning to be what one is not or to believe what one does not : behavior that contradicts what one claims to believe or feel
Yeah of course you can do this, nobody is stopping you from doing this. However, if you wish that it had not happened in any other way then this makes you a hypocrite if you choose to argue against white displacement. Like I said, you can do whatever you want to or think however you want to (including fighting against white displacement), but it doesnt change the fact that you are a hypocrite.
And you can still think something is wrong (like the Native American genocide), and still not wish it happened any other way.
Like I said, what native americans experienced during the process of their displacement was significantly worse than what white americans are currently going through. If you can't consider what the native americans experienced as genocide then you also can't call what white americans are experiencing genocide either.You might call it an accidental genocide because of the smallpox spread. It wasn’t just some giant mass slaughter. But yes, native americans are in a worse situation than whites right now.
what I find ironic is that white nationalist morons will cry about white genocide but then they will claim that what native americans experienced wasnt genocide. What native americans went through was significantly worse than what white americans are currently going through. If what the native americans experienced wasnt genocide then what white americans are experiencing sure as hell isnt genocide.
theres plenty of hypocrisy; your issue as ive demonstrated is just that you don't really understand what hypocrisy entails. Ironically that makes you the dumb one lolThere is no hypocrisy as I’ve explained numerous times. You’re just too dumb or prideful to admit it. As for the rest of your sperg, white nationalism is on the rise, and there is nothing you can do to stop it.
because you guys are hypocritical pieces of shit. I dont care if whites fight to protect themselves or not; I literally dont care either way. I just hate POS alt-right, white nationalists who talk out both sides of their mouths. Throughout this entire debate youve strongly reminded myself of why I despise white nationalists. You guys are slimy, deceptive, dishonorable, hypocritical and arrogant. Its unfortunate for white people that the only people they have defending them are people like yourselves. Unsurprisingly, isnt it funny how white nationalists can’t even get the majority of whites to support them? You guys are outcasts even amongst your own people LOL.
yeah this is actually true, both parts. White nationalism is on the rise and also there is nothing I can do to stop it. That being said, in a practical sense this is actually irrelevant. The reason why is because the US is already around 50% non-hispanic white IIRC and the demographic trends favoring further non-white population growth and a shrinking white population are already baked in. We could completely end immigration tomorrow and the US would still be facing white demographic collapse. Furthermore, white nationalism is growing too slow and too late. By the time white nationalism actually reaches critical mass and has the numbers to actually do something whites will already be significantly outnumbered. Keep in mind that even if white nationalists do reach critical mass this doesnt mean that all whites will support them; so not only will whites be significantly outnumbered at that point in time, but not even all of the remaining whites will even support white nationalists.
As for the rest of your sperg, white nationalism is on the rise, and there is nothing you can do to stop it.
actually there are two things here:No, I’m not wrong because what you wrote made no sense in any other context and could only be taken one way. But I do agree this is an insignificant point overall.
why weasel out of this? why are you trying to change the goal posts and shift the argument to something different? why not just drop the matter? this is an insignificant point overall. You wanted to claim that I was incorrectly attributing a statement to you and it turns out that you were completely wrong about this. Its not my fault you didnt read what I wrote. Youve already demonstrated a strong tendency to misread or misunderstand things numerous times throughout this conversation. You were wrong, get over it and just drop it.
and below is the entire paragraph:
Ironically your apples and oranges argument is supporting my original thesis. For various reasons, different ethnicities might or might not have tried to dominate the world if they were in a position to do so. To say that all ethnicities/cultural blocs would have acted in the same way were they in the position of western europeans is a really broad and unprovable statement due to its inherent complexity.
I was trying to clarify what was going on in the debate since it became apparent that there was a misunderstanding at some level; within the context of clarifying our respective stances I pointed out that your apples and oranges argument supported my original thesis; referring to this stance as my original thesis makes sense within the context of me trying to clarify our respective stances. As you can see, what I wrote made perfect sense within the greater context. Since you only read the snippet and didnt bother reading the larger paragraph you were under the impression that what I was saying was out of context.
Whats been going on in this debate is a little bit complicated but im going to try to unpack it. Initially I made a broad statement about whites, which you then responded to with the above quote referring broadly to races; afterwards I specified my claim since I was originally talking about western europeans and not all whites. From that point on in the conversation I made a consistent effort to point out that I was talking about things on the ethnic/cultural bloc level as opposed to at the racial level. Its within this context (the ethnic/cultural bloc level, not the racial level) that I was debating against the notion that all other “races” would have done the same if they were in the place of western europeans. Ironically your apples and oranges argument is supporting my original thesis. For various reasons, different ethnicities might or might not have tried to dominate the world if they were in a position to do so. To say that all ethnicities/cultural blocs would have acted in the same way were they in the position of western europeans is a really broad and unprovable statement due to its inherent complexity.
Just to be completely clear though, I was never interested in having a broad conversation about race; and I think that my comments throughout this debate reflect this as well. As far as im concerned, regarding this particular argument I think we have come to an agreement. OTOH if you’re trying to have a conversation about entire races (as opposed to ethnicities and cultural blocs) then im not interested in it, and never was.
this is sad watching you trying to squirm out of this. Dude you're wrong, how can you even keep trying to deny this at this point?Ethnicity and race do not mean the same thing.
the merriam-webster dictionary says otherwise. You obviously don’t know what semantically means in this context, if you did then you would realize that your argument is unnecessary. You do realize that words can possess different meanings right? There are figurative meanings, literal meanings, scientific meanings etc etc. Its becoming obvious that you don’t really grasp this concept…
The word race is a synonym for ethnicity; the two words have different meanings but can also be used interchangeably sometimes. You do know what a synonym is right? I dont know why this is so hard for you to understand. Are you really going to argue against what the dictionary itself says? lol
Synonyms for ethnicity
nation, nationality, race
well, lets consider what is the definition of ethnicity first:
Let me ask you this, is Nigerian-American an ethnic group? Or do we call them Yoruba-Americans? You can belong to multiple levels of different ethnic groups.
technically nigerian-american would be considered a "double nationality". This is because the term "nigerian" refers to a civic-nationality designation which encompasses a bunch of different ethnic groups; this is not just my opinion but this is actually according to the wikipedia definition itself. This would be the same as if there was an emigrant community of americans (of all different races) who settled in japan. Would these so-called "american-japanese" be considered an ethnic group? According to this definition of ethnicity they could not be considered an ethnic group since they are from different races/ethnicities, although if there was an emigrant community of actual, genetically spanish people then we could consider these "spanish-japanese" as an ethnic group. Here's another example of a "double nationality":
a particular race of people, or the fact of being from a particular race of people:
Ethnicity is not considered when reviewing applications.
Our students have many different nationalities, religions, and ethnicities.
Keep in mind that both of these people could be considered "russian-americans":
Russian Americans are Americans who trace their ancestry to Russia, the former Russian Empire, or the former Soviet Union. This means that ‘Russian’ does not necessarily refer to East Slavic ethnic Russians. The definition can be applied to recent Russian immigrants to the United States, as well as to settlers of 19th-century Russian settlements in northwestern America.
In several major urban centers in the U.S., many Jewish Americans and other ethnic groups with roots in the former Soviet Union, such as Armenian Americans, Belarusian Americans, Georgian Americans, Ukrainian Americans, and Uzbek Americans, identify with the Russian American community. Additionally, some Rusyn Americans who left Eastern Catholicism for Eastern Orthodoxy identify as Russian Americans.
so to answer your question, nigerian-american isnt an ethnic group, any more than american is an ethnic group. "Nigeria" has only existed as a single, unified state since 1914, its basically a "fake" nation. The only reason why people might refer to nigerians as an ethnic group is out of expediency and/or due to ignorance. Most importantly, the notion of a "hyphenated-american" doesn't always refer to an ethnic group like you were suggesting, it can refer to a nationality as well:
Ethnicity is usually an inherited status based on the society in which one lives. Membership of an ethnic group tends to be defined by a shared cultural heritage, ancestry, origin myth, history, homeland, language or dialect, symbolic systems such as religion, mythology and ritual, cuisine, dressing style, art or physical appearance. Ethnic groups often continue to speak related languages and share a similar gene pool. By way of language shift, acculturation, adoption and religious conversion.
In many cases a hyphenated-american designation can refer to either a nationality based group or an ethnic group depending on the background of the person in question; as for nigerian however it's basically a nationality based group since there is no such thing as an original nigerian ethnicity. Now as time goes on and the various ethnicities in nigeria begin to mix and homogenize then yes, maybe you could consider this new ethnic amalgamation as an ethnicity but until that happens on a large scale you can't really consider nigerian as an actual ethnicity. The same goes for american as well, an american ethnicity doesn't exist but in the future it most likely will, see below:
Ethnicity or nationality: Arab American, Armenian American, British American, Chinese American, Colombian American, English American, Filipino American, French American, German American, Greek American, Haitian American, Indian American, Irish American, Italian American, Japanese American, Jewish American, Korean American, Mexican American, Norwegian American, Pakistani American, Polish American, Russian American, Scottish American, Swedish American, Ukrainian American, Vietnamese American, and so on.
btw what did you mean by this? You said that nation is listed a synonym of race, but then you claimed that this doesnt mean that nation and race can be used interchangeably. You never answered this, do you know what a synonym is?
You’ll notice that nation is listed as a synonym of race. That doesn’t mean nation and race can be used interchangeably.
oh...so now you admit that ethnicity and race can be interchangeable sometimes, but earlier you were claiming that ethnicity and race are not interchangeable. Looks like you have finally admitted you were wrongNationality and ethnicity are more interchangeable than ethnicity and race.
As you can see, under certain conditions words can function as synonyms for other words, its all highly contextual but I understand that this is a concept you have difficulty understanding due to your autism.
you did claim that you explicitly mentioned you made a typo in comment #413:When did I claim that I explicitly mentioned that I made a typo? I just made the correction in subsequent posts and thought you were smart enough to pick up on it. Guess I was wrong.
you claimed that you explicitly mentioned that you made a typo but you didnt; it was absent in the text I provided, ergo you were wrong. The fact that you claim that the usage of the word white nationalist should have given me a clue confirms this. If you explicitly clarified anything then by definition you wouldn’t need to give out clues since you are already explicitly clarifying it. Do you not understand what the word explicitly means? lmao, even your own words prove you wrong
You claimed that you had explicitly clarified that you had made a typo in comment #389 but you didn't. If you didn't explicitly clarify that you had made a typo then why did you claim that you did so in comment #389?Post 389. And every post after I wrote white nationalists.
I dont recall you explicitly clarifying this and saying that it was a typo. Im not accusing you of lying either, please show where you explicitly clarified that this was a type. I don’t recall you saying anything to this effect but I could be wrong
so you can't find where I specifically made that claim, I mean we've both known this for weeks now. Its hilarious watching you squirm about this, we both know that you can't find where I made the claimReplies: @FvSI’m glad you admitted to supporting white genocide and that you are a hypocrite.
never claimed I was on your side. Nor am I bothered by your pathetic and clumsy attempts at moral shaming. Do you think I give a fuck? lmao. Glad you capitulated on this point. Like I said, you can’t find where I specifically made that claim.
yup and youre trying to argue in circles now. Lets break it down:It is, in my opinion. I argued that racially similar peoples tend to be more similar in terms of culture and therefore the act is almost self-destructive. You seem to think killing racial strangers is worse than killing racial kin. I think there is either no difference or that it is not as bad.
wrong. You’re forgetting the context in which this example was given. I provided the examples of the antifa and the viking in response to your claim that killing a member of your own race is worse than killing a member of a different race
lol you moron. You've once again demonstrated your ignorance of history. You do realize that history is more complicated than just black and white right? Lets run through a brief history of this historical situation and its background:
Read this. She was a traitor. China had designs on Nanyue, and they were still the aggressor for their way out of proportional response over the centuries (if this single act continued to have any revelance by then).
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/L%C3%BC_Jia_(Nanyue)
Just because a response seems out of proportion to you doesn't change the fact of who the aggressor is. I hope you realize that. If tom and jerry get into an argument and tom slaps jerry and then jerry pulls out a gun and shoots tom in the head then tom is still the aggressor. Jerry's response might be out of proportion, but that doesn't change who the aggressor is. Im sorry but your whole argument about who the aggressor is and isnt is silly and a weak argument, that's why you keep having to change the goalposts with your "aggressor" argument. I sort of get the feeling that you don't really know what the word "aggressor" means...
and they were still the aggressor for their way out of proportional response over the centuries (if this single act continued to have any revelance by then).
lmao you moron. Reading comprehension. This is what I wrote:
And to the think that the Roman Empire is a proxy for the entire white Western world is laughable. If what the Jews are currently doing is a response to Romans overthrowing their temple, that is ridiculously over the top, disproportionate, and indiscriminate.
I stated that its possible that the jewish-roman wars could have been what started the initial schism between jews and the west; what the jews are currently doing to the west is not a direct response to the romans overthrowing their temple but rather the result of a long back and forth between jews and gentile whites which possibly began with the romans overthrowing the jews' temple. Its amazing how poor your ability is to understand how events and situations incrementally unfold and evolve in real life. OTOH you see to have no problems understanding this mechanism when it comes to the early settlers and the native americans though:
The roman empire encroached upon and subjugated jewish territory, eventually culminating in the jewish-roman wars. If we consider the roman empire as a proto-west then my impression is that the jewish-roman wars was what initially started the entire schism between jews and the west.
(comment #405)
It began as peaceful settlements on land proximate to nomadic tribes and escalated due to violence on both sides into a conquest or purchase of the entire territory.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_Western_civilizationI didnt say the roman empire was a proxy for the west; I suggested that the roman empire could be considered a proto-west which is a legitimate argument:
And to the think that the Roman Empire is a proxy for the entire white Western world is laughable
medieval western christendom (the direct predecessor to the modern west) came from the roman empire. Therefore your implication that im wrong about this is actually incorrect. Do you not even know the history of the west? lol
Western civilization traces its roots back to Europe and the Mediterranean. It is linked to ancient Greece, the Roman Empire and with Medieval Western Christendom which emerged from the Middle Ages to experience such transformative episodes as the Renaissance, the Reformation, the Enlightenment, the Industrial Revolution, scientific revolution, and the development of liberal democracy.
Whether or not whites have largely changed their beliefs about colonialism is a separate argument altogether. My original point was that you wanted to claim that whites gave up their colonies out of goodwill and it turns out that you were wrong. You continue to try conflating these two arguments in order to avoid admitting that you were wrong in your original assertion. Once again just to be completely clear, my original point was that you wanted to claim that whites gave up their colonies out of goodwill and it turns out that you were wrong. Whether or not whites have largely changed their beliefs about colonialism is a separate argument.Read comment #379 again. There is no way for you to deny that whites have largely changed their beliefs about colonialism. It’s not like we’re just itching to get back our colonies but can’t because we’re not powerful enough.
no lol. I dont have to refute this because what you were saying was never the point of contention in the first place. You and I both know this. There is clear textual evidence that you were trying to suggest that the west gave up its colonies out of goodwill and I subsequently proved you wrong. This argument regarding the west giving up its colonies originated in comment #380
typo. I meant to write goodwill instead of freewill. This is evident when you look at the entire segment:
Technically, they did willingly give up their colonies. No other foreign power forced them to. They just did so for many reasons. Of which, equal rights, liberalism, and all that was only one. But it was a factor.
You were originally trying to argue that the west gave up its colonies out of freewill and I subsequently proved you wrong in comment #384:There’s one thing they could do instead of colonization, and they wouldn’t have to worry about the CIA (if your conspiracy theory is true) any more. Let them be independent. Give it away like the Europeans did to their colonies.
no lol. I dont have to refute this because what you were saying was never the point of contention in the first place. You and I both know this. There is clear textual evidence that you were trying to suggest that the west gave up its colonies out of goodwill and I subsequently proved you wrong.

ouch...another swing and a miss. You do realize that the results you get differ upon the exact string that you searched for right? I used the strings "white supremacy definition" and "white supremacy dictionary". lmao you didn't even think about something like that, idiotNo they aren’t. You do realize anyone can easily check this right, lol?
actually the majority of my dictionary sources were from the first page of google.
LOL. So now you are claiming that even dictionaries themselves are wrong. This is rich, I guess words only mean what you want them to mean right? Its amazing how delusional you are. Like I said, there are multiple definitions of white supremacy and you were wrong about this. Remember, you were confused over a simple comparative statement for two weeks. Youre a moron dude. Why should I take anyone seriously that doesn't even understand the difference between nationality and ethnicity?
There aren’t multiple definitions of white supremacy. There might be other wrong definitions of white supremacy listed out there on the internet, but the key component of the definition is the belief that whites should dominate the other races. Every credible source has this listed in the definition. It’s not my fault you didn’t understand what the term meant.
yup, like I've always said:
Think of it like this. “Hey man, I crashed your car, but I’m going to give you double its worth in cash as resitution.” That’s European colonialism.

Making silver linings arguments make you sound insincere about your "colonization bad!" stance, but hey man if you want people to think you're full of shit then by all means continue to make silver lining arguments. You're truly too autistic or too arrogant to understand this
most white advocates ive encountered make endless rationalizations for colonization instead of arguing against it and just admitting it was wrong, including you. There are maybe like 0.05% of white advocates who will admit that european colonization was morally wrong, the rest will make flimsy apologetic arguments for it or will even be proud of it.
yeah there is hypocrisy. If white nationalists want to continue to make excuses for past white supremacy then they have no room to complain about jewish supremacy.
There is no hypocrisy because what white nationalists believe about the past has no bearing on what they believe right now, especially in the case of the U.S. where literally the entire existence of the country is dependent on things going down the way they did. White nationalists would only be hypocritical to decry Jewish supremacism if they were white supremacists themselves. I have no idea why that is so hard for you to comprehend.
yup and you completely missed the point which isnt surprising since youre a moron lol. I was pointing out your hypocrisy; its absurd how you condone the displacement of the native americans but then go and complain about how the same thing happening to white americans is unfair.Replies: @FvSJust because you did something to someone else, doesn’t mean you want that same thing to happen to you, lmao. It’s perfectly natural and healthy to take your own group’s side.
go ahead and explain the problem with my reasoning then. Im all ears
1.you indeed were wrong in your original assertion where you forgot about the context in which the viking example was given. So you were wrong, there is no arguing about this.
2.what youre saying is still autistic bullshit that doesnt apply in the real world. Which is why vikings had no problems fucking up anglosaxons; the vikings could give a rats ass about your opinion that them invading the anglosaxons was racially self-destructive. This just goes to show how delusional and detached from reality you are; you persist in believing in your non-sense even though it doesnt reflect real world conditions. The jews OTOH exist in reality and are very pragmatic, they dont delude themselves with nonsense like you do, I can see why they’re winning and white nationalists are losing.
Ah, your true hatred of whites is revealing itself. And it doesn’t matter what the vikings thought, it just matters what is.
As I suggested above, the most important thing is the fact that had the prime minister lu jia acted differently and allowed himself to be arrested by the emperor of the han dynasty then the entire situation could have been avoided, instead he decided to murder both the queen dowager jiu and the king AND declared war on the han dynasty. Its quite obvious that in this situation the prime minister lu jia made some poor decisions and his actions qualify the state of nanyue as the “aggressor”.
How can you not understand the concept of proportionality? Let’s say you kill my dog, and I respond by enslaving you entire family for multiple generations. At some point, I became the aggressor.
Even the greatest conflicts start somewhere and somehow. The schism between the jews and the west started at some point and escalated from there, its entirely possible that that event was the jewish-roman wars. Its disingenuous for you to act like im literally claiming that jews’ current actions are a direct response to romans overthrowing their temple. I suspect you know this too but you were just grasping for any argument to use, no matter how tenuous it was.
See above. And holding future generations responsible for the actions of past generations is inherently unjust.
medieval western christendom (the direct predecessor to the modern west) came from the roman empire. Therefore your implication that im wrong about this is actually incorrect. Do you not even know the history of the west? lol
It still doesn’t change the fact that the modern West shouldn’t be beholden to the actions of the Roman Empire.
Once again just to be completely clear, my original point was that you wanted to claim that whites gave up their colonies out of goodwill and it turns out that you were wrong. Whether or not whites have largely changed their beliefs about colonialism is a separate argument.
Whether they gave them up out of goodwill is irrelevant to my point about how beliefs about colonialism can and did change. There is no way for you to argue that point which is why you resort to deflection.
LOL. So now you are claiming that even dictionaries themselves are wrong. This is rich, I guess words only mean what you want them to mean right? Its amazing how delusional you are. Like I said, there are multiple definitions of white supremacy and you were wrong about this. Remember, you were confused over a simple comparative statement for two weeks. Youre a moron dude.

No rebuttal, I see.
yeah there is hypocrisy. If white nationalists want to continue to make excuses for past white supremacy then they have no room to complain about jewish supremacy.
No, there isn’t, you brainlet. Because past white supremacy and past white supremacists have nothing to do with modern white nationalists or white nationalism. How can you not understand this concept? Lmao. Just because you wouldn’t undo something that literally led to the foundation of your country as you know it hundreds of years ago, doesn’t mean you want to keep doing that thing to other people in the present. Nor does that mean that you are a hypocrite for resisting when another group is doing it to you in the present.
I was pointing out your hypocrisy; its absurd how you condone the displacement of the native americans but then go and complain about how the same thing happening to white americans is unfair.
It is unfair. They are both unfair. But my very existence depends on the first having taken place. I think the Native American displacement was wrong, but I wouldn’t undo it. Does that make sense to you?
if you still stand by your original argument then why did you bring up christianity? its irrelevant to your original argument. Seems like youre dodging and trying to move goal posts. Why is it so hard for you to stay on topic? I can do it, why can't you? I wonder why... :)No, that is not correct. I still stand by what I originally said. If all those other groups had the same advantages that Western Europeans did, you would have seen similar levels of world conquest.
so in other words you can’t support your original claim as follows…is that correct?
Not necessarily. I already addressed this; different races exhibit different traits and also exhibit different degrees of certain traits when compared to other races. According to HBD we follow this logic for all other traits, why wouldnt we apply it to the traits that would undergird the desire/inclination for conquest and domination? You don't know if all of the other races would have tried to dominate the entire world, to try to say otherwise is making a racial blank-slate argument. Its obvious that youre trying to selectively support HBD when it fits you and then use racial blank-slate arguments when HBD is inconvenient LOL.
If all those other groups had the same advantages that Western Europeans did, you would have seen similar levels of world conquest.
christianity has nothing to do with your original point that we've been arguing about this entire time:
Add Christianity to the mix and it’s possible that Western Europeans would have actually been less inclined to seek world domination compared to those other ethnic groups of different races. In fact, Christianity blows up your whole argument. You failed to prove that Western Europeans are somehow unique in this way due to genetics.
I didn't put forth the first argument, you did. In order to maintain consistency I have remained on topic and continually debated the first argument that was brought up in the conversation. Its apparent that you're trying to bring up new arguments now and derail the focus from the first argument that you originally brought out. Why is that? Surely you can defend your initial argument without having to resort to moving goalposts? You could make a separate argument about the importance of christianity in influencing western colonialism, but that's not our current argument. When this debate first began you were arguing that all other races would have done the same and you were saying that this was based on strength/ability; you said nothing about religion. This is the point that you've been trying to defend for the majority of this conversation, why are you suddenly trying to change it now? lol. Oh and btw you wrote this earlier in this debate:
All the other races would have done the same in our place, they just weren’t ever strong enough to even come close to accomplishing it.
(comment 379)
And I do admit that racial/ethnic differences in wanting to dominate others might exist.
if you believe this:
All the other races would have done the same in our place, they just weren’t ever strong enough to even come close to accomplishing it.
These are mutually exclusive beliefs. The fact that racial differences in wanting to dominate others might exist means that you cannot definitely claim that all other races would have done the same if they were in the position of whites.
And I do admit that racial/ethnic differences in wanting to dominate others might exist.
the portugese already had cochin and malacca as well as other "colonies" in the area. Portuguese controlled territory in the area was called portuguese india. Actual direct portuguese colonial administration of kotte did not begin until long after portugese india had already been well established (1597). Your reasoning for why they wanted to possess kotte is chronologically and factually wrong:
The point is that Kotte is right in the middle of the Portuguese trade routes with East Asia. If China had been sending ships to Portugal and the rest of Europe, then you might have a leg to stand on.
Once again, do you have some actual basis for your claim that the portugese needed kotte as a pitstop or is this your conjecture?
Portuguese presence in the island lasted from 1505 to 1658. Their arrival was largely accidental, and the Portuguese sought control of commerce, rather than territory.
lmao youre you're literally trying to conflate them right now:
No, I never was trying to conflate them. That is a strawman. I merely asked if you supported what they were doing there as it is clear they are engaging in a form of colonialism. You have never addressed the fact that there are many ways to engage in colonialism.

thats funny because debt-trap diplomacy and buying off foreign politicians don't constitute colonialism either. These actions can be considered unethical or scummy, but that doesn't mean that they are equivalent to colonialism (assuming that either of these allegations is even true on a broad scale to begin with). African countries are free to stop working with china, china isn't forcing them to do anything. Is china holding a gun to their heads and forcing them to work with them? China doesn't even have the military force projection ability to coerce these african countries to work with it lol.
Posting these again for reference. Debt trap diplomacy is not the same thing as just trading with another country. Neither is buying off foreign politicians (which is what China is doing with African leaders).

why are you leaving out pertinent points?The Japanese were not. They wouldn’t have tried to conquer their neighbors if they were. And if China was colonized, tens of millions of Chinese would still be alive due to no communist revolution and due to improved infrastructure.
The japanese were actually facing a real threat of being colonized and subjugated contrary to your conjecture. The fact that china was not colonized wasn’t due to lack of intent by the europeans but rather because they were unable to fully colonize it. If they were then china would have ended up like africa.
So let me get this straight, around the same time period that the japanese were trying to modernize their country the west was in the process of trying to colonize both china and africa, yet you claim that the japanese were not in danger of being colonized themselves. OK lol
Keep in mind that the meiji restoration started around 1868, during approximately this same time period just a few years later this was what was going on in the world:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scramble_for_Africa
In fact a similar process was already underway in china:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Western_imperialism_in_Asia#Western_European_and_Russian_intrusions_into_China
this is completely your conjecture, you're literally pulling this out your ass. You have no basis for this statement, if you do then provide proof. Seriously, I want you to provide me proof of your assertion
They wouldn’t have tried to conquer their neighbors if they were.
whether this is true or not it is completely irrelevant to the argument at hand. Its hilarious how you have to bring up random points to try to bolster your poorly supported arguments. Youre unable to stay on topic precisely because your arguments are so shoddy, its really obvious what you're doing
And if China was colonized, tens of millions of Chinese would still be alive due to no communist revolution and due to improved infrastructure.
Thirdly, what you're saying is historically incorrect. The communists actually won in china because of the japanese not in spite of them. What happened was that in the early 20th century the chinese nationalist party and chinese communist party were engaged in a civil war, the nationalists were actually winning against the communists but then the japanese invaded china in 1936 and this in turn forced the nationalists to fight the japanese instead of finishing off the communists. This in turn allowed the communists to retreat, regroup, grow in numbers and strengthen themselves for the subsequent showdown between the nationalists and the communists from which the communists would emerge victorious. So not only did the japanese kill millions of chinese but they also indirectly allowed the communists to come to power which in turn killed tens of millions of chinese (according to you). So basically all of those tens of millions of chinese deaths that you mentioned are completely due to the japanese.
The Second Sino-Japanese War (1937–1945), a theater of World War II, forced an uneasy alliance between the Kuomintang and the PLA. Japanese forces committed numerous war atrocities against the civilian population; in all, as many as 20 million Chinese civilians died.[84] An estimated 40,000 to 300,000 Chinese were massacred in the city of Nanjing alone during the Japanese occupation
LMAO. You're claiming here that amerindians didn't value their race over their ethnicity enough but this goes against your claim that people naturally value their race over their ethnicity. If people naturally value their race over their ethnicity like you've been arguing then why didnt the amerindians do so according to what you yourself just said? You're literally claiming that the amerindians didn't care enough about their race over their ethnicity and thats why they lost out to europeans but I thought you were originally arguing that people inherently valued their race over their ethnicity? If that's the case then there's nothing the amerindians "should" have done, they would have done it automatically. You've completely contradicted yourself here, apparently according even to you, people do not inherently value their race over their ethnicity.I didn’t say other factors don’t matter. That is a strawman. And you can’t deny that if the Amerindians had cared about race more than ethnicity, they might not have lost out to Europeans.
Your point is poorly written. I legitimately don’t understand exactly what you’re trying to say here. That being said, it is historical fact that japan declared war on its racially related neighbor china even while it was aware that european was actively colonizing africa and was attempting to do something similar in china at the time. Yet in spite of being aware of the intent of the hostile racial outsiders (europeans) japan still went and attacked its own racial neighbors. This just goes to show that your point about race trumping all other factors is absurd. In the real world there are so many other factors that matter besides race
lmao so your point about US/liberia and spain/honduras completely missed the mark. ok gotchaRace seems to be the primary factor since there aren’t very many multi-racial ones. Maybe proximity is the main factor, but there are many places where different proximate racial majority nations intersect and there is no alliance.
Your point about the US/liberia and spain/honduras has nothing to do with the fact that supranational alliances are formed due to many other factors than just race.
of course proximity is the main factor, supranational alliances are based on a multitude of important factors but typically geographical location is (obviously) one of the most important ones. Your second point about places where different proximate racial majority nations intersect and there being no alliances doesn't disprove my point that supranational alliances are based on many factors besides just race. It has no bearing at all on my point.
Maybe proximity is the main factor, but there are many places where different proximate racial majority nations intersect and there is no alliance.
lol. This is a list of advocacy organizations for asian americans; it has nothing to do with my original point:
Not from what I’ve seen and posted. So far, I’ve only heard anecdote from you.
https://www.diversitybestpractices.com/news-articles/asian-american-organizations-you-need-know
the fact that pan-asian advocacy organizations exist doesnt prove that the majority of real, actual asian americans on the ground value their race over their ethnicity. You wanted to claim that asian americans value race over ethnicity but the link you provided doesn't prove that asian americans value race over ethnicity, it only proves that there are some organizations which promote pan-asianism. You cannot deduce from this how all asian-americans collectively feel with regards to race and its relative importance compared to their respective ethnicities. This is equivalent to pulling up a list of white nationalist organizations and claiming that it somehow represents how all whites feel. Its amazing how stupid you are
The reality on the ground with your average asian-american is much different.
from what ive seen race-blind liberals are happy to live with people from a similar socio-economic class regardless of their race; as for their associations I see a ton of white liberal males and white liberal females with romantic partners and friends of different races. If anything I think that race-blind liberals probably try to avoid low-class black people more than anything, but they're basically fine with every other racial and socio-economic demographic. You're confusing the role that socio-economic status plays with the role that race plays. The instinct for pan-racial sentiment is much less strong than you think it is; this is why its so malleable in the first place.It can artificially suppressed or forced to be masked through state propaganda and threat of social ostracization, but just look at where these “race-blind” liberals live and who they associate with. Racial identity is fundamental.
When you make this claim what are you basing this belief on? You seem to be suggesting that it is a persistent, strong, inherent quality, is this correct? But if this is true then why is it able to be modified so strongly by environmental factors?
yeah you're wrong lol. Ethnicity is a biological reality, just like race is. How can you not know this? LMAO. You're confusing ethnicity with nationality, which is largely cultural. How the fuck do you not know this? That fact that you didn't know this casts a large shadow of doubt over your other arguments as well. You've been factually wrong about so many things so far, its becoming hard to take you seriously.
Ethnicity can be changed, race can not. It is biological reality. That alone proves that race is the more important factor. Ethnicity is largely cultural.
How did you not know what ethnicity means??
Ethnicity is usually an inherited status based on the society in which one lives. Membership of an ethnic group tends to be defined by a shared cultural heritage, ancestry, origin myth, history, homeland, language or dialect, symbolic systems such as religion, mythology and ritual, cuisine, dressing style, art or physical appearance. Ethnic groups often continue to speak related languages and share a similar gene pool. By way of language shift, acculturation, adoption and religious conversion.
I already addressed this above but what you wrote is too stupid to let it slip by. "American" is not an ethnicity you dumb shit LOL. American is a NATIONALITY. NATIONALITY != ETHNICITY. Holy shit how can you not know this? Its amazing how much time Ive wasted arguing with a legitimate idiot who thinks that american is an ethnicity. LOL. Race, ethnicity and nationality are all different conceptsReplies: @FvSI already have multiple times. If people valued ethnicity over race, there would be no racial division in the U.S. since we’re all “American.”
Notice that you can’t even argue against the general notion that people generally value their ethnicity over their race
if you still stand by your original argument then why did you bring up christianity?
It’s icing on the cake.
Not necessarily. I already addressed this; different races exhibit different traits and also exhibit different degrees of certain traits when compared to other races. According to HBD we follow this logic for all other traits, why wouldnt we apply it to the traits that would undergird the desire/inclination for conquest and domination?

Mongolians, Imperial Japanese, Aztecs, Bantus, etc.
These are mutually exclusive beliefs. The fact that racial differences in wanting to dominate others might exist means that you cannot definitely claim that all other races would have done the same if they were in the position of whites.
All races have groups that tried to take as much territory as possible at some point. Why is it so hard for you to imagine what the Mongolians would have done with European weapons and ships? There is also another point that I never brought up and that is the nature of the competition between all the various European countries. The virtual stalemate that existed forced the competition outwards.
the portugese already had cochin and malacca as well as other “colonies” in the area. Portuguese controlled territory in the area was called portuguese india.

BTW I already read each of your links in its entirety, I didn’t find any of them particularly convincing. Most of the articles came across as speculation, exaggeration and conjecture. Its also pretty funny that youve already abandoned your arbitrary list of four things that you claimed constitute colonialism lol.
I didn’t abandon anything. You just didn’t successfully refute the points so I saw no point in going on about it.
this is completely your conjecture, you’re literally pulling this out your ass. You have no basis for this statement, if you do then provide proof. Seriously, I want you to provide me proof of your assertion
Yes, I too think it makes sense to invade other countries when there is an imperial power on my doorstep. /s
Secondly, this is also a really odd argument for a person that is supposedly against colonialism to make. Wow…it almost sounds like you’re trying to justify colonialism. You’re literally too stupid to hide your own pro-colonialism leanings and it ends up leaking out sooner or later lol. Also you are aware that the japanese themselves killed up to 20 million chinese right?
For the millionth time, saying there were positive aspects of colonialism doesn’t mean you think it should have happened in the first place. As for the Japanese and the Chinese, that helps prove my original point about the behavior of all races.
Its really amazing how stupid you are. Like youre seriously dumb as shit. Its funny how you white nationalists try to act like you know what you’re talking about when actually you guys are clueless lol.
It’s really amazing how you strawman. Also, if China was colonized, the Japanese invasion (if it happened at all) would have looked a lot different.
You’ve completely contradicted yourself here, apparently according even to you, people do not inherently value their race over their ethnicity.
Not literally every single time, but most of the time they do, especially if they’ve been living in the presence of other races for a prolonged period.

Based on the articles I posted and my own observations that Asian-Americans have no problem sticking together and prefer the company of other old Asian ethnic groups over other groups of different races, I think we can make a safe assumption.
This is equivalent to pulling up a list of white nationalist organizations and claiming that it somehow represents how all whites feel. Its amazing how stupid you are
No, that’s a false comparison because pan-Asian organizations and white nationalist organizations don’t advocate the same relative things. It’s amazing how stupid you are.

This is demonstrably false. Rich whites live in notoriously heavy white neighborhoods. Rich blacks prefer living among other rich blacks. Interracial relationships among white liberals are still a tiny minority.

No, you’re wrong. A person can belong to multiple ethnic groups at the same time. Typically, the most broad ethnic group that a person belongs to correlates with their nationality. What you’re saying is that the American, German, Bolivian, Vietnamese, etc. ethnic groups do not exist.
How did you not know what ethnicity means??
You could have just read the wiki, brainlet.
An ethnic group or ethnicity is a category of people who identify with each other, usually on the basis of presumed similarities such as common language, ancestry, history, society, culture, nation or social treatment within their residing area.[1][2] Ethnicity is often used synonymously with the term nation, particularly in cases of ethnic nationalism, and is separate from but related to the concept of races.
Ethnic groups may be subdivided into subgroups or tribes, which over time may become separate ethnic groups themselves due to endogamy or physical isolation from the parent group. Conversely, formerly separate ethnicities can merge to form a pan-ethnicity and may eventually merge into one single ethnicity. Whether through division or amalgamation, the formation of a separate ethnic identity is referred to as ethnogenesis.
I already addressed this above but what you wrote is too stupid to let it slip by. “American” is not an ethnicity you dumb shit LOL. American is a NATIONALITY. NATIONALITY != ETHNICITY.

Embarrassing.
What We Should Do:
1.) Enact nationalist trade policy.
2.) Increase defenses against Chinese hacking attacks.
3.) Ban Chinese nationals from U.S. universities.
4.) Ban Chinese investment in U.S. real estate.
5.) Ban Chinese immigration to the U.S.
6.) Ban Chinese lobbying in the U.S.
7.) Criticize unregulated Chinese wet markets and black market exotic animal trade.
What We Shouldn’t Do:
1.) Just shift manufacturing from China to other countries instead of back to the U.S.
2.) Foment color revolutions in China.
3.) Antagonize China by sailing U.S. warships in the South China Sea.
4.) Try to spread liberalism in China.
Also, how independent of Jewish International Finance is China really? Jews played a role in the formation of the CCP, but I don’t know how much influence they still have. And even Netanyahu has been at odds with Soros. Does that mean that Jewish International Finance is on an anti-Israel crusade?
It was Chinese negligence and their ridiculous “traditional medicine” demands that created the conditions for the emergence of the virus in the first place. They should be helping.

So, after 4000 years of traditional medicine using pangolin scales, suddenly it becomes the source?
It was Chinese negligence and their ridiculous “traditional medicine” demands that created the conditions for the emergence of the virus in the first place.
China should be paying the entire bill. Some of us still remember their melamine disaster that cost the lives of 50,000 people and an estimated 100,000 canine pets in the West. I realize the Chinese have little regard for the Chinese serfs and even less for other species.

The U.S. only appears to be a paper tiger because we choose to follow specific rules of engagement. Take them away and the American military is capable of perhaps unprecedented levels of mass slaughter using conventional weaponry.

No you're not. The moment you try they'll stick that 'conventional weaponry' up your collective asses and make you squeal.

The wet market hypothesis has been discarded. Daniel Lucey, an infectious disease specialist at Georgetown University, says that because there is an incubation time between infection and symptoms surfacing, and the presence of infected people with no links to wildlife market, the virus could not have originated from the wildlife market. Kristian Andersen, an evolutionary biologist at the Scripps Research Institute, agreed with the assessment.
Conspiracy theories on the origins of COVID-19 are of course a very convenient and useful tool for the Chinese government, because they deflect attention from the fact the outbreak can easily be attributed to bad government, and to Communism itself. I find the idea that the virus originated in a Wuhan “wild food” market to be utterly compelling

On Jan. 13th, 1952, a B-26 bomber of the American Air Force was shot down over An-Ju in Korea. By May 5th statements of considerable length admitting their participation in bacteriological warfare had been made by the navigator Lt. K. L. Enoch, and by the pilot, Lt. John Quinn, and issued to the world through Peking. As has already been stated, these documents will be found in SIA/14 and 15 respectively, and together with lithograph reproductions of the original manuscripts, in the printed brochure issued from Prague. The relevant parts are here reproduced in App. KK. and LL. Documents SIA/17 and 18 should also be consulted, though the later interviews recounted in them did not add much to the technical and scientific evidence. What were the essential points in the principal declarations of these airmen? First of all, both officers had had to attend, in Japan and in Korea, secret lectures on the methods of bacteriological warfare. These expositions, which it was impressed on them contained highly confidential information, described the use of bacteria directly as cultures deposited or sprayed, of insects transmitting diseases biologically or mechanically, of rodents in parachute-containers, of poisoned foods, and of bacteria containing artillery shells. Various kinds of containers or "bombs" were described and sketched. Correct altitudes and air-speeds for delivery were given. Particularly significant statements made in the lecture attended by Lt. Quinn were (a) that "almost any insect could be used for spreading diseases", (b) that "rats could be dropped, though this might not be necessary'', and (c) that there was an intention to use encephalitis, "for which no positive cure is known." Secondly, both officers had received orders to carry out bacteriological warfare missions, and had duly fl.own them, though with the greatest inner reluctance. There were various peculiarities about the special bombs used, and in some cases these were under special guard so that the pilots could not examine them too closely. In one of the reports information was given as to the various types of planes most suitable for delivering various kinds of containers. From the personal knowledge of the two airmen many of their fellow service-men had also engaged in such missions, and later conversations brought out well the large number of Air Force personnel who had been instructed on bacteriological warfare, Lt. Enoch was briefed "germ bombs" while Lt. Quinn was briefed "duds", but both were told that in debriefing (i.e. reporting the results of the flight) "duds" was to be the term used. There can be no doubt that these admissions had considerable influence on the western world. But those who did not wish to be convinced tended to brush them aside as confessions obtained under physical or mental duress, saying that after all, only two young men had come forward, and suggesting indeed they did not really exist at all, and that the whole declarations were forged. Attempts, however, to demonstrate inconsistencies in Lt. Quinn's story, failed (SIA/16).
It likely came from pangolins, supposedly the world’s most trafficked animal. China is the world’s largest consumer of pangolin parts.

As for tracing the virus in the United States, that can be found here. I have highlighted the time frame of the first cases in the U.S. Click on the orange dots in the phylogeny table for more info.

As for the blame game, there is plenty of blame to go around.
1. Trump – gross incompetence, failed to heed the early warnings, didn’t do enough to stop the spread, stupidly downplayed the severity of the virus just to try and save the economy.
2. CDC/Deep State – nowhere near ready in terms of available hospital beds, ventilators, masks, etc. An adequate strategic reserve should have already existed. It is their job to prepare for something like this, and they simply did not do it. Whether this was only incompetence or something more deliberate, I guess we may never know.
3. WHO – gross incompetence, failed to recognize the threat until it was too late, too reliant on and trusting of China.
China’s U.N. Ambassador Zhang Jun said Thursday evening in New York that “we are still at a very critical stage in fighting the coronavirus” but stressed that the epidemic is still mainly confined to China and urged the international community against any overreaction. Zhang told reporters “we are still making our assessment” of the WHO declaration. “While we understand the concerns of other countries, we should also listen to advice of the director-general of WHO” who said he had full confidence in China’s efforts in fighting the epidemic and “there is no reason for measures that unnecessarily interfere with the international travel and trade,” Zhang said. He said China appreciated “the friendly gesture made by the international community” in providing medical equipment, and “what are needed urgently,” especially in Hubei province, are masks and other protective medical supplies including glasses.
In the wake of numerous airlines cancelling flights to China and businesses including Starbucks and McDonald’s temporarily closing hundreds of shops, Tedros said WHO was not recommending limiting travel or trade to China. “There is no reason for measures that unnecessarily interfere with international travel and trade,” he said. He added that Chinese President Xi Jinping had committed to help stop the spread of the virus beyond its borders.
https://www.spokesman.com/stories/2020/jan/30/world-health-organization-declares-coronavirus-out/
4. China – gross incompetence, failed to identify the danger of the virus until it was too late, silenced a whisteblower, covered up the danger of the virus and even destroyed samples early on, allowed infected to travel out of the country, allowed wet markets and black market exotic animal trade to fester.

except you really cant though lol. this is just your conjecture, you still don't know what would happen because everything (especially the political climate) would be completely different. We would have to literally redo over five centuries of history. The knock-on effect of the absence of western colonialism in an alternate timeline would affect the existence and nature of jews, capital and the white elite themselves. Its almost impossible to conceive what this alternate reality would be like. Take the jews for example; in an alternate history where western colonialism had never happened then the american revolution would have never occurred, if the american revolution had never occurred then its likely that the french revolution would have never happened:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/French_RevolutionIf Jews, capital, and a sellout white elite still exist in this hypothetical scenario, I think we can make a fair prediction.
you have no idea how, why and what form globalization would have taken in a hypothetical reality where technology brings together the world but western colonialism didn’t happen. its nonsensical for you to act as if mass-immigration would have definitely happened, you really don’t know at all.
Had the french revolution never happened then the emancipation of the jews in europe would have never happened:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_the_Jews_in_France#Beginnings_of_emancipationHad the jews never been emancipated in europe then they most likely would have been unable to become as powerful as they are today in the west. As you can see, western colonialism has influenced everything; its impossible for you to assume that jews, capital and the white elite would have the same function and abilities in an alternate reality where western colonialism had never happened.
The causes of the French Revolution are complex and are still debated among historians. Following the Seven Years' War and the American Revolutionary War,[5] the French government was deeply in debt. It attempted to restore its financial status through unpopular taxation schemes, which were heavily regressive. Leading up to the Revolution, years of bad harvests worsened by deregulation of the grain industry and environmental problems also inflamed popular resentment of the privileges enjoyed by the aristocracy and the Catholic clergy of the established church. Some historians hold something similar to what Thomas Jefferson proclaimed: that France had "been awakened by our [American] Revolution."[6] Demands for change were formulated in terms of Enlightenment ideals and contributed to the convocation of the Estates General in May 1789.
I only said this in response to what you had previously wrote:You said that all that matters is power and so like whites genocided the Amerindians, so to are Jews genociding whites. Now, if you don’t agree with this and think both situations were/are not justified, what exactly was your agenda in calling white nationalists hypocrites in the first place. Again, you were siding with the Jews by doing so.
no, provide the specific quote where I wrote this. lets talk about it
stating an objective fact doesn't mean that I agree or disagree with anything. Im merely making the objectively true observation that the same thing which happened to the amerindians is happening to modern whites and then I pointed out your hypocrisy in regards to this. Me pointing out your hypocrisy for condoning the native american genocide but getting mad over white genocide is not the same as me saying that white genocide is justified. Therefore your rebuttal is wrongExcellent point, the same logic applies to all of the immigrants (legal and otherwise) in western countries. This land formerly belonged to whites and now much of it belongs to non-white immigrants. So why are you mad about all of this? If its ok for the native americans to be dispossessed of their lands (regardless of the means), then why does it make you so mad when whites are gradually displaced from their lands? Its the same principle
And there is the fact almost all land belonged to someone else at some point. Can you steal what was already stolen?
your rebuttal doesnt refute anything I wrote in that quote lolYour ego won’t let you admit you were wrong to call modern white nationalists hypocrites and instead, I showed you to be the real hypocrite, colonizer. I bet you would have watched from the sidelines of Rwanda and called the Tutsis hypocrites for trying to save themselves from the Hutus, all because of what the Tutsis did in the past.
I cant help that your victimhood complex renders you unable to understand the genesis of context in conversations. The fact that I would have equally brought up the mongolian conquests if you were a mongolian nationalist complaining about jewish supremacy basically destroys your whole “stop oppressing me because im white!” stance. Remember, you had trouble even understanding what a simple comparative statement was (comment #383), in fact you spent about two weeks being confused over this; so its not surprising that you don’t understand a simple point like this as well.
its right there though; I was literally clarifying my own position. You were factually wrong when you called me out because you thought I was trying to attribute that position to you.Ironic.
its genuinely not my fault that you have poor reading comprehension.
whats funny is that you cant even debate this, all you can do is leave a snarky one word comment lmao
Ironically your apples and oranges argument is supporting my original thesis. For various reasons, different ethnicities might or might not have tried to dominate the world if they were in a position to do so. To say that all ethnicities/cultural blocs would have acted in the same way were they in the position of western europeans is a really broad and unprovable statement due to its inherent complexity. comment #385
not necessarily. The words race and ethnicity have an overlap in usage, even the merriam-webster dictionary supports this notion:https://www.merriam-webster.com/thesaurus/ethnicityLmao, the only way race could be used interchangeably with ethnicity is if the words mean the same thing.
wow…you didn’t even understand the meaning of what I was writing LOL. I was referring to the fact that semantically speaking race can be used interchangeably with ethnicity in many cases. I wasn’t literally saying that the scientific concept of race and ethnicity are interchangeable.
Once again, you are wrong. Semantically speaking the words race and ethnicity can be used interchangeably sometimes.
Synonyms for ethnicitynation, nationality, race
yeah I read that entire passage, you didnt explicitly clarify that you had made a typo, you were talking about something entirely different:Post 389. And every post after I wrote white nationalists.
I dont recall you explicitly clarifying this and saying that it was a typo. Im not accusing you of lying either, please show where you explicitly clarified that this was a type. I don’t recall you saying anything to this effect but I could be wrong
And again white nationalism and white supremacism are two different things. White nationalists may point out silver linings in the colonial actions of the past, some might even think colonialism was justified at the time (though I can’t think of any prominent one that does), but they absolutely do not support white supremacy in the present. There is no hypocrisy because we are talking about the Jewish supremacism that exists right now and that is destroying our people. So, what we have is one group of people that are not racial supremacists bringing attention to another group of people that are racial supremacists and who are slowly trying to genocide the first group.---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
lol, so you can't find where I specifically made this claim then. As a result you have to rely on what you think I implied lol. This is why you have to depend on conclusions instead of you know, simply posting a quote of where I said something to the effect of what you're claiming. In other words, you can't find where I made such a claim in spite of repeatedly claiming that I said that whites have collective guilt for past transgressions and have to pay for it by accepting mass immigration LOLReplies: @FvSPost 412 explains. But it’s also clearly implied from your criticism of white nationalists since they are the only ones fighting back against white genocide. If did not support white genocide, you would have kept your mouth shut. That you did not, leads me to conclude only one thing.
its really quite simple. If I made the argument that you’re claiming that I made then you could find the passage where I specifically said so and then post it here.
Had the jews never been emancipated in europe then they most likely would have been unable to become as powerful as they are today in the west. As you can see, western colonialism has influenced everything; its impossible for you to assume that jews, capital and the white elite would have the same function and abilities in an alternate reality where western colonialism had never happened.
I think the emancipation of the Jews was largely inevitable at some point because of the ideals of the Enlightenment and the men that espoused them. Most of whom predate the American Revolution. Your argument is predicated on assuming that the French Revolution would never have happened had the American Revolution never happened. Perhaps, perhaps not. Of course, I did put a big if at the start of my argument.
Me pointing out your hypocrisy for condoning the native american genocide but getting mad over white genocide is not the same as me saying that white genocide is justified.
First of all, there is no hypocrisy. Is a murderer a hypocrite because he resists being murdered himself? Of course not. Second of all, the native american “genocide” was largely incidental due to disease. Finally, that means you think white genocide is not justified. Why do you attack white nationalists if don’t think white genocide is justified? We’re literally the only ones resisting white genocide.
its right there though; I was literally clarifying my own position. You were factually wrong when you called me out because you thought I was trying to attribute that position to you.
Why did you feel the need to clarify your position by stating something you never said you believed, and I never thought you believed in the first place? I was the one that said those things, hence, I believed you were directing your statement towards me.
whats funny is that you cant even debate this, all you can do is leave a snarky one word comment lmao
I already did. Every race has at least one ethnic group that behaved in the same way that Western Europeans did. Therefore, it is correct to say that every race would have done the same if they were strong enough to do so. You were making an entirely different argument, one that I actually agree with for the most part.
Once again, you are wrong. Semantically speaking the words race and ethnicity can be used interchangeably sometimes.
No, they cannot. They do not mean the same thing. Ethnicity is largely related to culture. Race is a biological concept. Negroid is the race; Nigerian is the ethnicity. There is no Nigerian race. You’ll notice that nation is listed as a synonym of race. That doesn’t mean nation and race can be used interchangeably.
yeah I read that entire passage, you didnt explicitly clarify that you had made a typo, you were talking about something entirely different:
The usage of white nationalist thereafter should have given you a clue.
lol, so you can’t find where I specifically made this claim then. As a result you have to rely on what you think I implied lol. This is why you have to depend on conclusions instead of you know, simply posting a quote of where I said something to the effect of what you’re claiming. In other words, you can’t find where I made such a claim in spite of repeatedly claiming that I said that whites have collective guilt for past transgressions and have to pay for it by accepting mass immigration LOL
If you’re on our side, you sure have a funny way of showing it. And if you don’t care either way, then you really do fit in with that Rwandan genocide scenario I described.
if you still stand by your original argument then why did you bring up christianity? its irrelevant to your original argument. Seems like youre dodging and trying to move goal posts. Why is it so hard for you to stay on topic? I can do it, why can't you? I wonder why... :)No, that is not correct. I still stand by what I originally said. If all those other groups had the same advantages that Western Europeans did, you would have seen similar levels of world conquest.
so in other words you can’t support your original claim as follows…is that correct?
Not necessarily. I already addressed this; different races exhibit different traits and also exhibit different degrees of certain traits when compared to other races. According to HBD we follow this logic for all other traits, why wouldnt we apply it to the traits that would undergird the desire/inclination for conquest and domination? You don't know if all of the other races would have tried to dominate the entire world, to try to say otherwise is making a racial blank-slate argument. Its obvious that youre trying to selectively support HBD when it fits you and then use racial blank-slate arguments when HBD is inconvenient LOL.
If all those other groups had the same advantages that Western Europeans did, you would have seen similar levels of world conquest.
christianity has nothing to do with your original point that we've been arguing about this entire time:
Add Christianity to the mix and it’s possible that Western Europeans would have actually been less inclined to seek world domination compared to those other ethnic groups of different races. In fact, Christianity blows up your whole argument. You failed to prove that Western Europeans are somehow unique in this way due to genetics.
I didn't put forth the first argument, you did. In order to maintain consistency I have remained on topic and continually debated the first argument that was brought up in the conversation. Its apparent that you're trying to bring up new arguments now and derail the focus from the first argument that you originally brought out. Why is that? Surely you can defend your initial argument without having to resort to moving goalposts? You could make a separate argument about the importance of christianity in influencing western colonialism, but that's not our current argument. When this debate first began you were arguing that all other races would have done the same and you were saying that this was based on strength/ability; you said nothing about religion. This is the point that you've been trying to defend for the majority of this conversation, why are you suddenly trying to change it now? lol. Oh and btw you wrote this earlier in this debate:
All the other races would have done the same in our place, they just weren’t ever strong enough to even come close to accomplishing it.
(comment 379)
And I do admit that racial/ethnic differences in wanting to dominate others might exist.
if you believe this:
All the other races would have done the same in our place, they just weren’t ever strong enough to even come close to accomplishing it.
These are mutually exclusive beliefs. The fact that racial differences in wanting to dominate others might exist means that you cannot definitely claim that all other races would have done the same if they were in the position of whites.
And I do admit that racial/ethnic differences in wanting to dominate others might exist.
the portugese already had cochin and malacca as well as other "colonies" in the area. Portuguese controlled territory in the area was called portuguese india. Actual direct portuguese colonial administration of kotte did not begin until long after portugese india had already been well established (1597). Your reasoning for why they wanted to possess kotte is chronologically and factually wrong:
The point is that Kotte is right in the middle of the Portuguese trade routes with East Asia. If China had been sending ships to Portugal and the rest of Europe, then you might have a leg to stand on.
Once again, do you have some actual basis for your claim that the portugese needed kotte as a pitstop or is this your conjecture?
Portuguese presence in the island lasted from 1505 to 1658. Their arrival was largely accidental, and the Portuguese sought control of commerce, rather than territory.
lmao youre you're literally trying to conflate them right now:
No, I never was trying to conflate them. That is a strawman. I merely asked if you supported what they were doing there as it is clear they are engaging in a form of colonialism. You have never addressed the fact that there are many ways to engage in colonialism.
https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/conflate

thats funny because debt-trap diplomacy and buying off foreign politicians don't constitute colonialism either. These actions can be considered unethical or scummy, but that doesn't mean that they are equivalent to colonialism (assuming that either of these allegations is even true on a broad scale to begin with). African countries are free to stop working with china, china isn't forcing them to do anything. Is china holding a gun to their heads and forcing them to work with them? China doesn't even have the military force projection ability to coerce these african countries to work with it lol.
Posting these again for reference. Debt trap diplomacy is not the same thing as just trading with another country. Neither is buying off foreign politicians (which is what China is doing with African leaders).

why are you leaving out pertinent points?The Japanese were not. They wouldn’t have tried to conquer their neighbors if they were. And if China was colonized, tens of millions of Chinese would still be alive due to no communist revolution and due to improved infrastructure.
The japanese were actually facing a real threat of being colonized and subjugated contrary to your conjecture. The fact that china was not colonized wasn’t due to lack of intent by the europeans but rather because they were unable to fully colonize it. If they were then china would have ended up like africa.
So let me get this straight, around the same time period that the japanese were trying to modernize their country the west was in the process of trying to colonize both china and africa, yet you claim that the japanese were not in danger of being colonized themselves. OK lol
Keep in mind that the meiji restoration started around 1868, during approximately this same time period just a few years later this was what was going on in the world:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scramble_for_Africa
In fact a similar process was already underway in china:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Western_imperialism_in_Asia#Western_European_and_Russian_intrusions_into_China
this is completely your conjecture, you're literally pulling this out your ass. You have no basis for this statement, if you do then provide proof. Seriously, I want you to provide me proof of your assertion
They wouldn’t have tried to conquer their neighbors if they were.
whether this is true or not it is completely irrelevant to the argument at hand. Its hilarious how you have to bring up random points to try to bolster your poorly supported arguments. Youre unable to stay on topic precisely because your arguments are so shoddy, its really obvious what you're doing
And if China was colonized, tens of millions of Chinese would still be alive due to no communist revolution and due to improved infrastructure.
Thirdly, what you're saying is historically incorrect. The communists actually won in china because of the japanese not in spite of them. What happened was that in the early 20th century the chinese nationalist party and chinese communist party were engaged in a civil war, the nationalists were actually winning against the communists but then the japanese invaded china in 1936 and this in turn forced the nationalists to fight the japanese instead of finishing off the communists. This in turn allowed the communists to retreat, regroup, grow in numbers and strengthen themselves for the subsequent showdown between the nationalists and the communists from which the communists would emerge victorious. So not only did the japanese kill millions of chinese but they also indirectly allowed the communists to come to power which in turn killed tens of millions of chinese (according to you). So basically all of those tens of millions of chinese deaths that you mentioned are completely due to the japanese.
The Second Sino-Japanese War (1937–1945), a theater of World War II, forced an uneasy alliance between the Kuomintang and the PLA. Japanese forces committed numerous war atrocities against the civilian population; in all, as many as 20 million Chinese civilians died.[84] An estimated 40,000 to 300,000 Chinese were massacred in the city of Nanjing alone during the Japanese occupation
LMAO. You're claiming here that amerindians didn't value their race over their ethnicity enough but this goes against your claim that people naturally value their race over their ethnicity. If people naturally value their race over their ethnicity like you've been arguing then why didnt the amerindians do so according to what you yourself just said? You're literally claiming that the amerindians didn't care enough about their race over their ethnicity and thats why they lost out to europeans but I thought you were originally arguing that people inherently valued their race over their ethnicity? If that's the case then there's nothing the amerindians "should" have done, they would have done it automatically. You've completely contradicted yourself here, apparently according even to you, people do not inherently value their race over their ethnicity.I didn’t say other factors don’t matter. That is a strawman. And you can’t deny that if the Amerindians had cared about race more than ethnicity, they might not have lost out to Europeans.
Your point is poorly written. I legitimately don’t understand exactly what you’re trying to say here. That being said, it is historical fact that japan declared war on its racially related neighbor china even while it was aware that european was actively colonizing africa and was attempting to do something similar in china at the time. Yet in spite of being aware of the intent of the hostile racial outsiders (europeans) japan still went and attacked its own racial neighbors. This just goes to show that your point about race trumping all other factors is absurd. In the real world there are so many other factors that matter besides race
lmao so your point about US/liberia and spain/honduras completely missed the mark. ok gotchaRace seems to be the primary factor since there aren’t very many multi-racial ones. Maybe proximity is the main factor, but there are many places where different proximate racial majority nations intersect and there is no alliance.
Your point about the US/liberia and spain/honduras has nothing to do with the fact that supranational alliances are formed due to many other factors than just race.
of course proximity is the main factor, supranational alliances are based on a multitude of important factors but typically geographical location is (obviously) one of the most important ones. Your second point about places where different proximate racial majority nations intersect and there being no alliances doesn't disprove my point that supranational alliances are based on many factors besides just race. It has no bearing at all on my point.
Maybe proximity is the main factor, but there are many places where different proximate racial majority nations intersect and there is no alliance.
lol. This is a list of advocacy organizations for asian americans; it has nothing to do with my original point:
Not from what I’ve seen and posted. So far, I’ve only heard anecdote from you.
https://www.diversitybestpractices.com/news-articles/asian-american-organizations-you-need-know
the fact that pan-asian advocacy organizations exist doesnt prove that the majority of real, actual asian americans on the ground value their race over their ethnicity. You wanted to claim that asian americans value race over ethnicity but the link you provided doesn't prove that asian americans value race over ethnicity, it only proves that there are some organizations which promote pan-asianism. You cannot deduce from this how all asian-americans collectively feel with regards to race and its relative importance compared to their respective ethnicities. This is equivalent to pulling up a list of white nationalist organizations and claiming that it somehow represents how all whites feel. Its amazing how stupid you are
The reality on the ground with your average asian-american is much different.
from what ive seen race-blind liberals are happy to live with people from a similar socio-economic class regardless of their race; as for their associations I see a ton of white liberal males and white liberal females with romantic partners and friends of different races. If anything I think that race-blind liberals probably try to avoid low-class black people more than anything, but they're basically fine with every other racial and socio-economic demographic. You're confusing the role that socio-economic status plays with the role that race plays. The instinct for pan-racial sentiment is much less strong than you think it is; this is why its so malleable in the first place.It can artificially suppressed or forced to be masked through state propaganda and threat of social ostracization, but just look at where these “race-blind” liberals live and who they associate with. Racial identity is fundamental.
When you make this claim what are you basing this belief on? You seem to be suggesting that it is a persistent, strong, inherent quality, is this correct? But if this is true then why is it able to be modified so strongly by environmental factors?
yeah you're wrong lol. Ethnicity is a biological reality, just like race is. How can you not know this? LMAO. You're confusing ethnicity with nationality, which is largely cultural. How the fuck do you not know this? That fact that you didn't know this casts a large shadow of doubt over your other arguments as well. You've been factually wrong about so many things so far, its becoming hard to take you seriously.
Ethnicity can be changed, race can not. It is biological reality. That alone proves that race is the more important factor. Ethnicity is largely cultural.
How did you not know what ethnicity means??
Ethnicity is usually an inherited status based on the society in which one lives. Membership of an ethnic group tends to be defined by a shared cultural heritage, ancestry, origin myth, history, homeland, language or dialect, symbolic systems such as religion, mythology and ritual, cuisine, dressing style, art or physical appearance. Ethnic groups often continue to speak related languages and share a similar gene pool. By way of language shift, acculturation, adoption and religious conversion.
I already addressed this above but what you wrote is too stupid to let it slip by. "American" is not an ethnicity you dumb shit LOL. American is a NATIONALITY. NATIONALITY != ETHNICITY. Holy shit how can you not know this? Its amazing how much time Ive wasted arguing with a legitimate idiot who thinks that american is an ethnicity. LOL. Race, ethnicity and nationality are all different conceptsReplies: @FvSI already have multiple times. If people valued ethnicity over race, there would be no racial division in the U.S. since we’re all “American.”
Notice that you can’t even argue against the general notion that people generally value their ethnicity over their race
actually the majority of my dictionary sources were from the first page of google.The first tenet listed by the ADL was whites should have dominance over people of other backgrounds, especially where they may co-exist. That is the essential component of white supremacy. Every quality source has that included. Just look at the random dictionary sites you had to scour the web for, lmao.
watching you try to do damage control is hilarious, also its really obvious too. You literally thought there was only one definition of white supremacy and it turns out you were wrong.
I just expect you guys to stop making bullshit excuses and rationalizations about western colonialism. This has always been my point since the very beginning. If you think it was so bad then stop bringing up your stupid "silver linings" and excuses for it. It makes you sound like an idiot when you cry about how bad colonialism is but then you turn around and make up rationalizations for it. If you really felt that bad about colonialism then you wouldn't even bother to make up excuses or rationalizations for it, you would just say it was bad and move on. Only an autist wouldn't be able to understand how bringing up "silver linings" undermines their own credibility in this kind of situation. Let me give you an example of this so you understand it better:And we do. Only white nationalists are consistent on this issue. What exactly do you expect of white nationalists? That we should give up our land to the Amerindian remnants? That we advocate all white Americans pack up and go back to Europe? That ship has sailed. What’s done is done. What people is going to eradicate its foundational history as something completely immoral just because it was based in bloodshed? Do you realize how many countries were founded on bloodshed? Does that mean they don’t get to have immigration policies? And you still haven’t been able to understand the concept of silver linings.
but we weren’t talking about most whites, we were talking about white nationalists. My original point stands, if you want to bark the loudest about colonialism then you have to live by your own creed.
what? I have no idea what you're talking about. I never claimed that I that white nationalists think that colonialism should be brought back in the first place, I just think that modern white nationalist are hypocrites because they still make excuses and rationalizations for colonization and then turn around and cry about jewish supremacism.So you admit you were wrong to call modern white nationalists hypocrites for calling out modern Jewish supremacism. Finally.
lol, why do you keep recycling this argument even though its been proven wrong? I said that white nationalists support western colonialism in the past, I never stated that white nationalists think that colonialism should be brought back. This is a misargument that you keep throwing out to muddy the water but you and I both know that it doesnt have any basis.
go ahead and explain the problem with my reasoning then. Im all earsLmao, you can’t be this retarded.
like you were saying nonchalantly, the native americans got displaced off their lands which you seem to be ok with and now the same is happening with whites by recent mass-immigration so whats the problem? Why do you condone the displacement of the native americans by european settlers but then get mad when white americans are displaced off their lands via mass-immigration? Its all the same dude.
not really. actually lets think critically about what kind of behavior could be considered effeminate. What would you call it if someone continually argued in an emotive, deflective and obfuscative manner where they frequently had to change goalposts in an effort to avoid admitting that their original points were wrong? What if when presented with irrefutable evidence that they were incorrect on a certain point this hypothetical commenter responded with catty one word responses like the following?No, it’s just a cringe saying. Effeminate.
its only cringe af to you because its true. you wanted to talk trash and it ended up backfiring on you lmao
I dont know...I would say that this hypothetical commenter would sound like the real effeminate one (you). If anything im the more "masculine" poster here. This is because I always use logic and well researched/thought out facts and arguments to back up my points. Notice how you're the one who's always having to jump around from argument to argument? I don't have to do that, I can always stand my ground and argue my points effectively without having to resort to cheap tricks lol.Ironic.
its genuinely not my fault that you have poor reading comprehension.
like I said:Your point was idiotic. The thoroughness of the Wikipedia article matters because Wikipedia has better sources and is trusted; the thoroughness of the rationalwiki article does not because they are poorly sourced, poorly reasoned, and not trusted.
and you still missed the point LOL. you thought I was unironically using rationalwiki and didn’t realize I was making a point by using rationalwiki. It totally went over your head
------------------------------------------------------------
and you still missed the point LOL. you thought I was unironically using rationalwiki and didn’t realize I was making a point by using rationalwiki. It totally went over your head
uh...why make a strawman dude? I never said that white nationalists would want to suddenly seek domination and lordship over non-whites; this is exactly what I wrote:
I do know what white nationalists believe. And to think we would want to suddenly seek domination and lordship over non-whites after we have finally achieved the racial separation we crave is asinine. “Yes, we finally have our white countries back! Alright, now let’s go start involving ourselves with non-whites again!” Turkey is more or less an ethnostate. Do you live in fear of them trying to bring back the Ottoman Empire? Do Turkey and Japan need to become multi-racial states because they might bring back their empires?
In the entirety of the original passage I clearly suggested that a hypothetical reacceptance of colonialism might happen at some point, I never said it would happen suddenly. The linchpin to your rebuttal is that white nationalists would suddenly want to start colonizing again, which I was never claiming to begin with. Like I said:
The point being, if white nationalists were to ever come to power then the overton window for whats considered acceptable would shift sharply to the right; at some point its not unfeasible that western nations (especially under the control of hardliner WN elements) might just decided to colonize weaker countries to relieve over-population in western nations or perhaps they might resort to it simply to gather more resources and be in a stronger position vis a vis other western nations. I wouldn’t be surprised if some of the more ambitious WN nations might use biological warfare in order to covertly kill off the populations of some third world nations and then use some phony humanitarian pretext to move in and take over the resources and living space.
My hypothetical scenario was extremely reasonable in spite of your attempts to strawman it and make it look absurd lol.
The point is, you don’t really understand what white nationalism (or any political movement) can truly be capable of. You continue to act as if you understand how every white nationalist thinks and feels, but this is an illusion. You don’t actually know this at all, you only think you do. Secondly, even if you did know how every white nationalist thinks and feels, you wouldn’t know how they would feel in a different time with different circumstances. Everything you say regarding what you think white nationalists would think and do is basically conjecture, you have no way of proving it. What I just wrote is also conjecture but unlike you I make no pretenses about it and freely admit that its conjecture. You on the other hand spew out conjecture but like to package it as fact. Finally keep in mind that if people change, they can also change back.
once again, I provided a very good example of how western colonization helped promote globalization and you were unable to refute it as a result you are still trying to dodge that point lol.Those countries I mentioned were never colonized. That there exist millions of immigrants from these countries in many others all around the world is enough to prove you wrong.
I provided a very good example of how western colonization helped promote globalization and since you couldn’t answer it you went off on a different tangent about asian immigrants instead and was hoping I wouldnt notice lol. Also with regards to asian immigration itself in the west, I already gave you a lengthy answer about this in my last response (comment #403)
just to reiterate since you keep purposely ignoring this point; had the west never tried to encroach on east asia then east asia would have remained in its slumber and would have continued to be self-isolated and cut off from the rest of the world. The west literally forced east asia to open up and interact with the entire world; had the west never done this then these countries would have remained closed off and they would be unable to provide millions of immigrants to the west.
well the west probably should have left the entire world alone yet it forced the entire world to globalize and interconnect at literal gunpoint for over five centuries. Modern globalization is based upon the foundation created by european colonization of the entire world. You should blame your ancestors for the current state of affairs. That being said, ironically instead of blaming your ancestors, people like you continue to exonerate and even celebrate them for their colonial adventures. (comment #223)
Its painful how wrong your facts are lol. Not only that but you improperly presented your facts as well. You didn't even provide sources for your data or a methodology LOL. Lets dig into the actual immigration data regarding spain and find out the real facts:
And the why it happens in the West is not because of colonialism, but because of Jews, capital, and a traitorous elite. Take Spain for example. It had one of the largest colonial empires and yet because of their deliberate immigration policy, the largest foreign populations there are Moroccans, Romanians, and other Europeans. The foreign population from their former colonies totals to about 1.5%.
I have no idea where you got the 1.5% figure from. Immigrants from former spanish colonies equal approximately 36% of the total immigrant population in spain, not 1.5%. Maybe you got confused and were claiming that the percentage of the total population of spain that were immigrants from former colonies was equal to 1.5%? Although this figure is still incorrect since the percentage of the population that were immigrants from former colonies actually equals 4.7% of the population if we use the 2019 population numbers for spain which is 47,007,367 people.
Take Spain for example. It had one of the largest colonial empires and yet because of their deliberate immigration policy, the largest foreign populations there are Moroccans, Romanians, and other Europeans. The foreign population from their former colonies totals to about 1.5%.
You were claiming that modern globalization wasn't dependent upon the legacy of western colonialism however...moroccan mass immigration and intraeuropean mass immigration cant even be considered a form of globalization in the first place LOL. Morocco and other european countries are literally right next/near to spain, this cannot be considered "globalization", if anything its "regionalization". The affairs of spain, morocco and the rest of europe would always have been intertwined regardless. The argument I was always making (and this is textually supported) is that western colonization was crucial in bringing about modern globalization.Strawman. I never said it had nothing to do with it, I just said that it wasn’t dependent on it. I see colonialism as having exacerbated globalism. You still can’t refute that technology would have brought the world much closer together anyway. Mass migrations happened in the past even before colonialism.
Its amazing that you still insist that modern globalization has nothing to do with the framework set up by over five centuries of western meddling with the rest of the world. You demonstrate your ignorance of history by claiming this. Modern globalization would not exist in its current form were it not for the past actions of the west.
actually the majority of my dictionary sources were from the first page of google.
No they aren’t. You do realize anyone can easily check this right, lol?
secondly, you’re still wrong in spite of your attempt to make it look otherwise lol. The entire argument regarding this is the fact that you literally thought there was only a single definition of white supremacy and I proved you wrong by showing you that there are multiple definitions of white supremacy. Like I said, you’re just engaged in damage control right now to avoid admitting that you were wrong about this. Keep in mind that anybody can look through our comments regarding this and can see that im right
There aren’t multiple definitions of white supremacy. There might be other wrong definitions of white supremacy listed out there on the internet, but the key component of the definition is the belief that whites should dominate the other races. Every credible source has this listed in the definition. It’s not my fault you didn’t understand what the term meant.
Do you understand now how “silver linings” make you sound insincere and render all of your apologies and regrets as hollow? How do you not understand something as simple as this? Every silver lining I brought up in this hypothetical scenario is “true” but it still makes me sound like an asshole. Oh and BTW you can make up silver linings for mass immigration, globalization and multiculturalism too, but I don’t see you doing this. I wonder why? You’re truly an autist if you can’t understand why making silver lining arguments severely undermines your credibility
Think of it like this. “Hey man, I crashed your car, but I’m going to give you double its worth in cash as resitution.” That’s European colonialism.
https://www.quora.com/What-are-some-countries-that-have-benefited-from-Colonialism-and-how
what? I have no idea what you’re talking about. I never claimed that I that white nationalists think that colonialism should be brought back in the first place, I just think that modern white nationalist are hypocrites because they still make excuses and rationalizations for colonization and then turn around and cry about jewish supremacism.
There is no hypocrisy because what white nationalists believe about the past has no bearing on what they believe right now, especially in the case of the U.S. where literally the entire existence of the country is dependent on things going down the way they did. White nationalists would only be hypocritical to decry Jewish supremacism if they were white supremacists themselves. I have no idea why that is so hard for you to comprehend.
go ahead and explain the problem with my reasoning then. Im all ears
Just because you did something to someone else, doesn’t mean you want that same thing to happen to you, lmao. It’s perfectly natural and healthy to take your own group’s side.
not really. actually lets think critically about what kind of behavior could be considered effeminate. What would you call it if someone continually argued in an emotive, deflective and obfuscative manner where they frequently had to change goalposts in an effort to avoid admitting that their original points were wrong? What if when presented with irrefutable evidence that they were incorrect on a certain point this hypothetical commenter responded with catty one word responses like the following?
Haha, what a cope. I, too, frequently hear Shakespeare quoted by “masculine” men all the time.
I dont know…I would say that this hypothetical commenter would sound like the real effeminate one (you). If anything im the more “masculine” poster here. This is because I always use logic and well researched/thought out facts and arguments to back up my points. Notice how you’re the one who’s always having to jump around from argument to argument?

Lol, so salty.
and you still missed the point LOL. you thought I was unironically using rationalwiki and didn’t realize I was making a point by using rationalwiki. It totally went over your head
I can’t tell if you’re trolling or not.
In the entirety of the original passage I clearly suggested that a hypothetical reacceptance of colonialism might happen at some point, I never said it would happen suddenly. The linchpin to your rebuttal is that white nationalists would suddenly want to start colonizing again, which I was never claiming to begin with.
Ignore the suddenly, I’m saying there is no reason to believe they would embrace colonialism again at any time.
My hypothetical scenario was extremely reasonable in spite of your attempts to strawman it and make it look absurd lol.
No strawman needed. It is absurd. Again, I have a much better understanding than you of what white nationalists believe on these issues, and there is no evidence that your scenario is remotely likely. It’s all fearmongering and Jew hysterics.
White nationalism is just ethnonationalism for whites, and ethnonationalism is opposed to colonialism. Now, if the majority of pro-white people were white supremacists rather than white nationalists, then you might have an argument. Fortunately, that isn’t the case.
Had the west never encroached on china and japan then all of east asia would have most likely remained isolated and therefore would not have been able to become a source of millions of immigrants to the west. Had the west never encroached on china and japan then all of east asia would have most likely remained isolated and therefore would not have been able to become a source of millions of immigrants to the west.
Your only qualification was having been colonized, and by that standard, I proved you wrong. Also, assuming modern technology progresses the same way, I highly doubt all of East Asia would remain isolated, like a bunch of North Koreas or something.
just to reiterate since you keep purposely ignoring this point; had the west never tried to encroach on east asia then east asia would have remained in its slumber and would have continued to be self-isolated and cut off from the rest of the world. The west literally forced east asia to open up and interact with the entire world; had the west never done this then these countries would have remained closed off and they would be unable to provide millions of immigrants to the west.
See above. Technology would have opened the world up anyway.
I have no idea where you got the 1.5% figure from. Immigrants from former spanish colonies equal approximately 36% of the total immigrant population in spain, not 1.5%. Maybe you got confused and were claiming that the percentage of the total population of spain that were immigrants from former colonies was equal to 1.5%? Although this figure is still incorrect since the percentage of the population that were immigrants from former colonies actually equals 4.7% of the population if we use the 2019 population numbers for spain which is 47,007,367 people.
I must have been looking at different numbers. But even going by your numbers, 4.7% is barely anything, and I bet the majority of them are white Latin Americans. Therefore, it is perfectly possible to be a former colonial power and not have to accept as some kind of inevitability that millions of immigrants from your former colonies are going to come to your country and make you a racial minority. Modern mass immigration has very little to do with colonialism and almost everything to do with deliberate policy set by a hostile power elite.
The argument I was always making (and this is textually supported) is that western colonization was crucial in bringing about modern globalization.
Technology and free trade are far more important factors. Reduction in language barriers is only a small benefit to globalization. China is a perfect example of this. They were never colonized, don’t speak a European language, and yet are fully integrated into the global market because of technology and free trade.
so in other words you can't support your original claim as follows:
I included religion because it’s another factor I thought of later. Do you deny that the non-racial factor of Christianity played a huge role? No HBD adherent thinks everything is genetics. I’m more of a 60% genetics, 40% non-genetics kind of guy. I still contend that the Aztecs, Imperial Japanese, Bantus, Mongolians, etc. tried to take as much land as they possibly could. Add the same degree of advantages, ships, and level of military technology that the Western Europeans had over the people they encountered, and I see no reason to think that any of these groups would have just said, “Nah, I think that’s enough. We’ll go ahead and stop now.” It’s possible that Western Europeans have/had a unique drive to conquer the entire world because of their genetics, but you have not proven this. There are too many other factors at play.
is that correct?
All the other races would have done the same in our place, they just weren’t ever strong enough to even come close to accomplishing it.
groan... The kingdom of kotte wasn't fully dominated by the portuguese until 1597. You do realize that the portuguese already had a foothold in cochin as far back as 1503 right?No. Kotte was like a pitstop for the Portuguese who were looking to send their ships all the way to China and beyond for long-term trade. (bold) They didn’t have the same needs and Portugal’s location is vital. Period.
China also needed to trade with the region as well (which was still relatively far away from china itself), therefore china would have had the same incentive to set up a colony in the area but it didnt bother.
lol. these are arbitrary criteria picked out by the author to support his article, they don't necessarily represent an objective measure of whats considered colonialism in a scholarly sense. More tellingly is the fact that the page that the author links to to support his claims of what constitutes colonialism doesn't even strongly support his claims of what he thinks constitutes colonialism. Granted the page is a summarization of the book being referred to, but I still suspect that the author of the article you kept spamming was just playing fast and loose with his reasoning. It would be congruent with the rest of the generally low quality of the article that he wrote. Its hilarious that you're trying to use a metric arbitrarily established by an afrocentric crackpot to "prove" that china is colonizing africa. That being said, let's break down each of these points individually:I always did, you clown. Just because China is doing things differently doesn’t mean it isn’t colonization though. Again, what China is doing fits into this definition.
Oh I do understand what china is doing in africa, and its not european style colonization which even you admit. My original point was that you continue to try to deliberately conflate european colonization with china’s actions in africa when in actuality the two things are quite different. You yourself admit this.
▶︎ to extend the influence of the “mother country”
▶︎ to provide a source of raw materials for the “mother country”
▶︎ to provide a market for manufactured products of the “mother country”
▶︎ to provide a place for people to live, especially if the “mother country” is overcrowded
-don't all countries do this? what does this even actually mean? This is geopolitics 101
▶︎ to extend the influence of the “mother country”
-africans are getting paid for it or otherwise renumerated in some way, the chinese arent just stealing their raw materials. You can bitch and moan that the chinese are somehow "manipulating" the africans but this doesnt change the fact that at the end of the day, the chinese are paying for or trading for raw materials. They aren't just taking raw materials like they could if they were actually colonizing africa.
▶︎ to provide a source of raw materials for the “mother country”
-the US not only provides raw materials but also provides a market for manufactured chinese goods, does this make the US a chinese colony? lmao
▶︎ to provide a market for manufactured products of the “mother country”
-is china forcing africa to accept chinese immigration on a large scale? Are there constant incidents where african nations are refusing to accept chinese immigration but are forced to accept chinese immigration by the chinese government at gunpoint? How hard is it to immigrate to many african countries anyways? I imagine the barrier to entry is significantly lower compared to immigrating to a first world country ergo many people could immigrate to africa if they wanted to but only the chinese are willing to.
▶︎ to provide a place for people to live, especially if the “mother country” is overcrowded
lmao, your argument is pretty weak. Your argument that race trumps ethnicity is weak because you have to tack on so many qualifiers for it to apply. "Oh you see, race is stronger than ethnicity, but only under X condition!!". If race truly trumped ethnicity like you appear to be arguing then it would be an enduring and constant phenomena and not just highly situational like you have to argue it is. Anyways, the japanese didnt fully know what to expect during this time period. What youre claiming is knowledge gained from hindsight, you dont know what they were actually thinking at the time. Here is a decent quote though which helps illustrate their thinking though:The Japanese were never under real threat of being colonized, as in, under imminent invasion.
the japanese were well aware of what was going on in the world at that time. what youre stating is essentially historically incorrect:
Keep in mind that the meiji restoration started around 1868, during approximately this same time period just a few years later this was what was going on in the world:
Figures like Shimazu Nariakira concluded that "if we take the initiative, we can dominate; if we do not, we will be dominated"
Your point is poorly written. I legitimately don't understand exactly what you're trying to say here. That being said, it is historical fact that japan declared war on its racially related neighbor china even while it was aware that european was actively colonizing africa and was attempting to do something similar in china at the time. Yet in spite of being aware of the intent of the hostile racial outsiders (europeans) japan still went and attacked its own racial neighbors. This just goes to show that your point about race trumping all other factors is absurd. In the real world there are so many other factors that matter besides raceSee above. And if an ethnicity sides against other ethnicities of their own race with an outside race threatening, it usually ends badly for that ethnicity. So it may happen, but it’s foolish. Just look at what happened to the Amerindians.
As I said before, you overestimate how much people value their overarching race as opposed to their ethnicity. In the real world other factors are equally if not more important than just “muh race”.
LOL. We weren't talking about why nations end up developing in different ways, we were discussing why supranational alliances are formed. In fact this is a point that you yourself brought up, its funny how you're trying to shift the topic since you apparently couldn't defend your own point. Your point about the US/liberia and spain/honduras has nothing to do with the fact that supranational alliances are formed due to many other factors than just race. I suspect you know that you couldnt defend your original point too, this is why you brought up some random but tangentially related point instead of discussing the primary point of contention.Race is the most important factor. It’s why the U.S. and Liberia look the way they do despite having near identical constitutions. It’s why Spain and Honduras look the way they do despite both being Catholic countries.
The fact that you are suggesting that supranational alliances are formed based on race is laughable. In the real world, people that are dealing with the real world consider many other more important factors than just race.
I read both of these articles, they're interesting articles but they don't prove your point. Just because some asian-americans band together to promote pan-asian identity politics doesn't mean that all or even most asian americans feel this way. The reality on the ground with your average asian-american is much different. They are not pan-racial to the extent that african-americans are for example. Like I said, in my experience when it comes to asian-americans, they primarily identify with their ethnicity first, a sense of pan-racial asian identity is either equal to this or comes in second place but doesnt supercede their ethnic identity like you were claiming, and then of course many asian-americans don't care about their ethnicity or their race. The situation in real life regarding asian-americans and pan-racial identity is much more complexed and nuanced than you're trying to argue it is.https://www.amren.com/news/2010/04/the_rise_of_asi/
lol I know a lot of asian americans. what youre saying isnt quite true.
https://www.amren.com/news/2010/04/asian_conscious/
wrong again. You're mixing up your arguments now lol. Lets break down everything you've said here:Nope, and you ignored my points essentially. Like I said, the Antifa example is an outlier because of how brainwashed a significant portion of whites have become. The viking example fails because there was no outside racial threat. Look at any multi-racial society and you will see that race > ethnicity. It should be obvious to you. Even look at China and Japan. They are much more comfortable with mongoloid immigrants of differing ethnicities then they are with immigrants of different races. The same goes for pretty much every national racial majorities around the world.
In the real world people generally value ethnicity over race, period.
brainwashing is just a form of culture, nothing more and nothing less. The reason we think and feel the way that we do is because of culture, in this context the brainwashing that youre referring to is basically a negative form of culture that has caused whites to think a certain way but it is culture nonetheless. Why is this culture argument significant? Its significant because it demonstrates the weakness of your "people value race over ethnicity" argument. When you make this claim what are you basing this belief on? You seem to be suggesting that it is a persistent, strong, inherent quality, is this correct? But if this is true then why is it able to be modified so strongly by environmental factors? Let me make this absolutely clear, im not arguing against the notion that pan-racial sentiment exists on an instinctual level. I absolutely believe this is true, but what i'm arguing against is the notion that pan-racial consciousness is a strong and overwhelming drive which supercedes ethnic sentiments.
Like I said, the Antifa example is an outlier because of how brainwashed a significant portion of whites have become.
wrong. You're forgetting the context in which this example was given. I provided the examples of the antifa and the viking in response to your claim that killing a member of your own race is worse than killing a member of a different race:
The viking example fails because there was no outside racial threat.
The example of the viking was not contingent upon an outside threat existing and this is supported by your own text. lmao youre so stupidyeah this is ridiculous. Although I wouldnt be suprised that a pan-racial consciousness advocate (IE a white nationalist) would write something like this. In the real world people generally value ethnicity over race, period. Although you claim that “evolutionarily speaking” it is worse to kill regional (but racially related) tribes, in the real world people don’t care about this. In the real world people care about actual concrete political objectives, not some quasi-philosophical, pop-science talking points. If your reasoning can’t hold up in the real world with real people then it really doesn’t amount to much does it?It is worse, especially from an evolutionary viewpoint. The races are literally different sub-species of human. Just like it’s worse to kill a member of your own family, it’s worse to kill a member of your own race. And from a cultural point of view, any destruction of a racially similar but ethnically different group’s culture is going to seem more self-destructive due to the cultural similarities that are likely to exist. For example, Chinese and Vietnamese culture had more common with each other than Chinese and Somalian.
Anyways what you wrote doesnt have anything to do with my original argument. You wanted to claim that fighting against/colonizing regional tribes is worse because they are racial kin and I provided an argument against that. Your response has nothing to do with disproving my original point.
Anyways your argument about pan-racial solidarity is extremely unconvincing and just strikes me as extraordinarily naive and sheltered from real world factors. In the real world race matters much less than you think it does. Do you think a white antifa would hesitate at bashing your skull in just because youre white too? LOL. Do you think an invading viking warrior would spare an anglo-saxon person just because they’re racial kin? LOL. Your point about so and so being bad from an evolutionary viewpoint is insanely autistic. As I keep saying, the real world is much more complicated than just “muh race”
this is largely due to proximity; its the same reason that a large amount of immigrants in the US are from mexico. Why import immigrants from across the world when you have a large labor pool in your own backyard? What youre claiming has some truth to it, but its not the whole picture, which has always been my point from the beginning
Even look at China and Japan. They are much more comfortable with mongoloid immigrants of differing ethnicities then they are with immigrants of different races. The same goes for pretty much every national racial majorities around the world.
lmao so you're arguing against your own point now? You are arguing that who the aggressor is is a vital distinction and subsequently I provided clear proof that the murder of the queen dowager essentially makes the nanyue (vietnam) court the "aggressor". They started this entire chain of events by exercising poor judgement in executing the queen dowager. You basically concede this point too, this is why you have to start a new argument about why this act doesn't justify the events that happened afterwards LOL. You literally were proven wrong using your own argument and as a result you have to run from it and try to argue that it "doesn't count" lmao.Yes, it is. The murder of this Queen (who was trying to get Vietnam to submit to Chinese overlordship) does not justify the aggressive Chinese colonial acts over the centuries.
No, who the aggressor is is somewhat important but its not a vital distinction.
yeah I already addressed this. Take the vietnam situation for example; you were ignorant of the history between china and vietnam and you literally thought that the chinese one day decided to go and randomly colonize the vietnamese one day, you were completely unaware of the events that led up to that which actually cast vietnam as the "aggressor". Furthermore you completely left out the pertinent fact that the state of nanyue (vietnam) was actually founded by a chinese person themselves (zhao tuo). This factor significantly changes the moral calculus of whether or not china's actions towards vietnam are justified or not. For example, was britain fighting to regain the 13 colonies in the american revolution unjustified? of course not. Their reaction was completely normal, likewise the chinese had legitimate interests in trying to rope in vietnam which was founded by a rogue chinese general.You still haven’t refuted that it matters who the aggressor is. It is vitally important. If you’re the aggressor in this hypothetical long-term “complicated relationship,” it doesn’t make what you’re doing to them somehow better than if you were doing it to a complete stranger. That’s ridiculous.
yup so you finally agree with my original point even though you were initially trying to argue it was wrong, and then you ignored it, and only now you agree to it although you’re laughably trying to reframe it.
How do we even define who the true aggressors are? You basically claim that the jews are the aggressors, but where do we even begin from? Who was truly the first aggressor? Look at what happened almost two thousand years ago:The latter, since Jewish culture (specifically Jewish supremacy) is working to destroy my people. They are the aggressors in this case. The “colonizers.”
As a white nationalist what is morally worse, destroying all jewish culture or destroying the culture of some ethnicity that you have never met?
no lol. I dont have to refute this because what you were saying was never the point of contention in the first place. You and I both know this. There is clear textual evidence that you were trying to suggest that the west gave up its colonies out of goodwill and I subsequently proved you wrong. This argument regarding the west giving up its colonies originated in comment #380No, it isn’t. The whole point was that the beliefs could change and did. You still haven’t refuted this.
oh but it is relevant because the original thrust behind your point was wrong. You wanted to suggest that the west gave up its colonies out of goodwill but historically speaking this is incorrect, ergo you were wrong.
You were originally trying to argue that the west gave up its colonies out of freewill and I subsequently proved you wrong in comment #384:
There’s one thing they could do instead of colonization, and they wouldn’t have to worry about the CIA (if your conspiracy theory is true) any more. Let them be independent. Give it away like the Europeans did to their colonies.
You have no way to argue against this, even your own words prove what you're saying wrong. You yourself know that you're wrong, this is why you're attempting to elevate the point of contention to something that you perceive as more defensible and trying to avoid discussing the matter within its own relevant context:WW1 and WW2 was the primary cause for europeans giving up their colonies (IE losers lost their colonies or the war just bankrupted the european governments amongst many other factors)
Give it away like the Europeans did to their colonies.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/history/british/modern/endofempire_overview_01.shtml
The europeans didnt always willingly give up their colonies, the reality of the situation was much more complex than how you’re trying to represent it.
whenever you get proven wrong on a point I frequently see you try to abstract out and argue about things on a different level so that you can avoid admitting you were wrong. thats really weak dude, if you're wrong you're wrong. im not even telling you that you have to admit you were wrong, but at least just drop the topic instead of trying to bullshit your way through it and act as if you weren't wrong.Replies: @FvS
No, it isn’t. The whole point was that the beliefs could change and did. You still haven’t refuted this.
so in other words you can’t support your original claim as follows…is that correct?
No, that is not correct. I still stand by what I originally said. If all those other groups had the same advantages that Western Europeans did, you would have seen similar levels of world conquest. Add Christianity to the mix and it’s possible that Western Europeans would have actually been less inclined to seek world domination compared to those other ethnic groups of different races. In fact, Christianity blows up your whole argument. You failed to prove that Western Europeans are somehow unique in this way due to genetics.
secondly, the chinese would have had a similar interest in setting up a colony (not a trading post) in the kotte kingdom, just look at how far away the kotte kingdom actually was from china at the time. Just because you try to claim otherwise doesn’t mean that you’re actually right lol.
The point is that Kotte is right in the middle of the Portuguese trade routes with East Asia. If China had been sending ships to Portugal and the rest of Europe, then you might have a leg to stand on.
Like I said, you purposely try to conflate chinese style “colonialism” (if it even is colonialism) with european style colonialism even though the two things are significantly different. If you used a more academic and scholarly list then you would have a much harder time proving that china is actually “colonizing” africa. This is why you had to resort to using a shoddy list of four (poor quality) criteria of what constitutes colonialism in order to prove your point lmao.
No, I never was trying to conflate them. That is a strawman. I merely asked if you supported what they were doing there as it is clear they are engaging in a form of colonialism. You have never addressed the fact that there are many ways to engage in colonialism.
Posting these again for reference. Debt trap diplomacy is not the same thing as just trading with another country. Neither is buying off foreign politicians (which is what China is doing with African leaders).

The japanese were actually facing a real threat of being colonized and subjugated contrary to your conjecture. The fact that china was not colonized wasn’t due to lack of intent by the europeans but rather because they were unable to fully colonize it. If they were then china would have ended up like africa.
The Japanese were not. They wouldn’t have tried to conquer their neighbors if they were. And if China was colonized, tens of millions of Chinese would still be alive due to no communist revolution and due to improved infrastructure.
Your point is poorly written. I legitimately don’t understand exactly what you’re trying to say here. That being said, it is historical fact that japan declared war on its racially related neighbor china even while it was aware that european was actively colonizing africa and was attempting to do something similar in china at the time. Yet in spite of being aware of the intent of the hostile racial outsiders (europeans) japan still went and attacked its own racial neighbors. This just goes to show that your point about race trumping all other factors is absurd. In the real world there are so many other factors that matter besides race
I didn’t say other factors don’t matter. That is a strawman. And you can’t deny that if the Amerindians had cared about race more than ethnicity, they might not have lost out to Europeans.
Your point about the US/liberia and spain/honduras has nothing to do with the fact that supranational alliances are formed due to many other factors than just race.
Race seems to be the primary factor since there aren’t very many multi-racial ones. Maybe proximity is the main factor, but there are many places where different proximate racial majority nations intersect and there is no alliance.
The reality on the ground with your average asian-american is much different.
Not from what I’ve seen and posted. So far, I’ve only heard anecdote from you.
https://www.diversitybestpractices.com/news-articles/asian-american-organizations-you-need-know
blockquote>When you make this claim what are you basing this belief on? You seem to be suggesting that it is a persistent, strong, inherent quality, is this correct? But if this is true then why is it able to be modified so strongly by environmental factors?
It can artificially suppressed or forced to be masked through state propaganda and threat of social ostracization, but just look at where these “race-blind” liberals live and who they associate with. Racial identity is fundamental. Ethnicity can be changed, race can not. It is biological reality. That alone proves that race is the more important factor. Ethnicity is largely cultural.
Notice that you can’t even argue against the general notion that people generally value their ethnicity over their race
I already have multiple times. If people valued ethnicity over race, there would be no racial division in the U.S. since we’re all “American.”
wrong. You’re forgetting the context in which this example was given. I provided the examples of the antifa and the viking in response to your claim that killing a member of your own race is worse than killing a member of a different race
It is, in my opinion. I argued that racially similar peoples tend to be more similar in terms of culture and therefore the act is almost self-destructive. You seem to think killing racial strangers is worse than killing racial kin. I think there is either no difference or that it is not as bad.
A japanese family would probably prefer their son or daughter to marry a white person over a racially related zainichi korean.
I highly doubt that, and it certainly wouldn’t be the case for Africans, Amerindians, or Arabs.
lmao so you’re arguing against your own point now? You are arguing that who the aggressor is is a vital distinction and subsequently I provided clear proof that the murder of the queen dowager essentially makes the nanyue (vietnam) court the “aggressor”. They started this entire chain of events by exercising poor judgement in executing the queen dowager. You basically concede this point too, this is why you have to start a new argument about why this act doesn’t justify the events that happened afterwards LOL. You literally were proven wrong using your own argument and as a result you have to run from it and try to argue that it “doesn’t count” lmao.
Read this. She was a traitor. China had designs on Nanyue, and they were still the aggressor for their way out of proportional response over the centuries (if this single act continued to have any revelance by then).
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/L%C3%BC_Jia_(Nanyue)
Anyways my point here is not to argue who is the aggressor and who isn’t; this is actually your logic and not mine. I attribute some importance to who the aggressor is but I don’t think it is vital like you do.
Of course, it is vital when talking of issues of morality and justice. And to the think that the Roman Empire is a proxy for the entire white Western world is laughable. If what the Jews are currently doing is a response to Romans overthrowing their temple, that is ridiculously over the top, disproportionate, and indiscriminate.
no lol. I dont have to refute this because what you were saying was never the point of contention in the first place. You and I both know this. There is clear textual evidence that you were trying to suggest that the west gave up its colonies out of goodwill and I subsequently proved you wrong. This argument regarding the west giving up its colonies originated in comment #380
Read comment #379 again. There is no way for you to deny that whites have largely changed their beliefs about colonialism. It’s not like we’re just itching to get back our colonies but can’t because we’re not powerful enough.
You have no way to argue against this, even your own words prove what you’re saying wrong. You yourself know that you’re wrong, this is why you’re attempting to elevate the point of contention to something that you perceive as more defensible and trying to avoid discussing the matter within its own relevant context:
Technically, they did willingly give up their colonies. No other foreign power forced them to. They just did so for many reasons. Of which, equal rights, liberalism, and all that was only one. But it was a factor.
whenever you get proven wrong on a point I frequently see you try to abstract out and argue about things on a different level so that you can avoid admitting you were wrong. thats really weak dude, if you’re wrong you’re wrong. im not even telling you that you have to admit you were wrong, but at least just drop the topic instead of trying to bullshit your way through it and act as if you weren’t wrong.
That’s a whole lot of words for no argument.
H1N1 originated in Mexico and then was discovered later in San Diego after it crossed the border. H1N1 is related to the Spanish flu which came from China along with the Bubonic plague and SARS.
Tracing the virus around the world can be found here.

If it gets bad in Mexico and Central America, the U.S. border could potentially be overrun. I doubt the powers at be have the will to stop them. They may even welcome it.
I didn’t say it’s not violent, but violence in Latin America seems more or less equally distributed across the racial groups and not particularly racial in nature unlike in the US.
That’s not true at all. White Latin Americans have much lower crime rates.
Right Mike.
Simply put: The Fed does not have the tools to fix this problem.

Yeah, like Pat Buchanan.
Check his "vampire cover" on Time Magazine after he won the New Hampshire primaries; the article accompaning it was pretty carbolic.
loony lefties
Yeah, like Pat Buchanan.
theres nothing to troll about. Like I said I was clarifying my own position:I swear you’re just trolling at this point.
I was clarifying my own position. Re-read everything I wrote. Why is it that you have such bad reading comprehension?
(comment #385)its genuinely not my fault that you have poor reading comprehension.---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ironically your apples and oranges argument is supporting my original thesis. For various reasons, different ethnicities might or might not have tried to dominate the world if they were in a position to do so. To say that all ethnicities/cultural blocs would have acted in the same way were they in the position of western europeans is a really broad and unprovable statement due to its inherent complexity.
wow...you didn't even understand the meaning of what I was writing LOL. I was referring to the fact that semantically speaking race can be used interchangeably with ethnicity in many cases. I wasn't literally saying that the scientific concept of race and ethnicity are interchangeable.No, you couldn’t. Like said, at most they’re a sub-race of a sub-race. Probably even a sub-race of that. I was obviously talking about the primary races: caucasoids, mongoloids, negroids, americoids, etc. Race and ethnicity are not interchangeable. It makes no sense to speak of the French race, Indian race, Japanese race, etc. even though ethnic groups do tend to cluster genetically in their own distinctive areas relative to other groups
This just supports my point, the word race is very hazy sometimes and has different applications and meanings. In many cases race can be interchangeable with ethnicity, as you alluded to in your example about different types of jews. You could just as easily say that these different “races” of jews are actually sub-ethnicities of a broader overarching ethnicity too.
you were debating the mings because you wanted to prove your point about all other races would have done the same, that's why you spent two weeks (unsuccessfully) trying to prove your pointLike I said, the only reason I debated about the Mings was because I figured they were worse than how you were describing them.
Like I said, I understood your analogy but its pretty confusing in terms of race/ethnicity. You could been consistent and talked about everything on a racial level but instead chose to talk about races and ethnicities while using the same analogy.
I dont recall you explicitly clarifying this and saying that it was a typo. Im not accusing you of lying either, please show where you explicitly clarified that this was a type. I don't recall you saying anything to this effect but I could be wrong
That was just a typo, and I clarified in my later posts.
See above in my other post. But your actions speak louder than words, colonizer.so you can’t find where I made that kind of argument then, that’s why you have to keep dodging my question.Are you retarded? If you don’t think we deserve our fate, then stfu the next time a white nationalist calls out Jewish supremacism.So…you can’t find where I made this kind of argument then? Its telling because if I did make this argument in this thread then it would be easy to find, but instead you can only resort to trying to stretch an argument that is based entirely on your assumption.You criticized white nationalists for speaking out against the Jewish supremacism of today because white supremacism existed in the past, and I guess we haven’t done enough to denounce it in your opinion. If you think we shouldn’t fight back against what’s happening to us, I can only assume you think we deserve our fate.
besides that, can you show me somewhere else in this thread where I made the argument that whites have collective guilt for past transgressions and have to pay for it by accepting mass immigration?
its genuinely not my fault that you have poor reading comprehension.
Ironic.
wow…you didn’t even understand the meaning of what I was writing LOL. I was referring to the fact that semantically speaking race can be used interchangeably with ethnicity in many cases. I wasn’t literally saying that the scientific concept of race and ethnicity are interchangeable.
Lmao, the only way race could be used interchangeably with ethnicity is if the words mean the same thing.
you were debating the mings because you wanted to prove your point about all other races would have done the same, that’s why you spent two weeks (unsuccessfully) trying to prove your point
No.
I dont recall you explicitly clarifying this and saying that it was a typo. Im not accusing you of lying either, please show where you explicitly clarified that this was a type. I don’t recall you saying anything to this effect but I could be wrong
Post 389. And every post after I wrote white nationalists.
its really quite simple. If I made the argument that you’re claiming that I made then you could find the passage where I specifically said so and then post it here.
Post 412 explains. But it’s also clearly implied from your criticism of white nationalists since they are the only ones fighting back against white genocide. If did not support white genocide, you would have kept your mouth shut. That you did not, leads me to conclude only one thing.
so in other words you can't support your original claim as follows:
I included religion because it’s another factor I thought of later. Do you deny that the non-racial factor of Christianity played a huge role? No HBD adherent thinks everything is genetics. I’m more of a 60% genetics, 40% non-genetics kind of guy. I still contend that the Aztecs, Imperial Japanese, Bantus, Mongolians, etc. tried to take as much land as they possibly could. Add the same degree of advantages, ships, and level of military technology that the Western Europeans had over the people they encountered, and I see no reason to think that any of these groups would have just said, “Nah, I think that’s enough. We’ll go ahead and stop now.” It’s possible that Western Europeans have/had a unique drive to conquer the entire world because of their genetics, but you have not proven this. There are too many other factors at play.
is that correct?
All the other races would have done the same in our place, they just weren’t ever strong enough to even come close to accomplishing it.
groan... The kingdom of kotte wasn't fully dominated by the portuguese until 1597. You do realize that the portuguese already had a foothold in cochin as far back as 1503 right?No. Kotte was like a pitstop for the Portuguese who were looking to send their ships all the way to China and beyond for long-term trade. (bold) They didn’t have the same needs and Portugal’s location is vital. Period.
China also needed to trade with the region as well (which was still relatively far away from china itself), therefore china would have had the same incentive to set up a colony in the area but it didnt bother.
lol. these are arbitrary criteria picked out by the author to support his article, they don't necessarily represent an objective measure of whats considered colonialism in a scholarly sense. More tellingly is the fact that the page that the author links to to support his claims of what constitutes colonialism doesn't even strongly support his claims of what he thinks constitutes colonialism. Granted the page is a summarization of the book being referred to, but I still suspect that the author of the article you kept spamming was just playing fast and loose with his reasoning. It would be congruent with the rest of the generally low quality of the article that he wrote. Its hilarious that you're trying to use a metric arbitrarily established by an afrocentric crackpot to "prove" that china is colonizing africa. That being said, let's break down each of these points individually:I always did, you clown. Just because China is doing things differently doesn’t mean it isn’t colonization though. Again, what China is doing fits into this definition.
Oh I do understand what china is doing in africa, and its not european style colonization which even you admit. My original point was that you continue to try to deliberately conflate european colonization with china’s actions in africa when in actuality the two things are quite different. You yourself admit this.
▶︎ to extend the influence of the “mother country”
▶︎ to provide a source of raw materials for the “mother country”
▶︎ to provide a market for manufactured products of the “mother country”
▶︎ to provide a place for people to live, especially if the “mother country” is overcrowded
-don't all countries do this? what does this even actually mean? This is geopolitics 101
▶︎ to extend the influence of the “mother country”
-africans are getting paid for it or otherwise renumerated in some way, the chinese arent just stealing their raw materials. You can bitch and moan that the chinese are somehow "manipulating" the africans but this doesnt change the fact that at the end of the day, the chinese are paying for or trading for raw materials. They aren't just taking raw materials like they could if they were actually colonizing africa.
▶︎ to provide a source of raw materials for the “mother country”
-the US not only provides raw materials but also provides a market for manufactured chinese goods, does this make the US a chinese colony? lmao
▶︎ to provide a market for manufactured products of the “mother country”
-is china forcing africa to accept chinese immigration on a large scale? Are there constant incidents where african nations are refusing to accept chinese immigration but are forced to accept chinese immigration by the chinese government at gunpoint? How hard is it to immigrate to many african countries anyways? I imagine the barrier to entry is significantly lower compared to immigrating to a first world country ergo many people could immigrate to africa if they wanted to but only the chinese are willing to.
▶︎ to provide a place for people to live, especially if the “mother country” is overcrowded
lmao, your argument is pretty weak. Your argument that race trumps ethnicity is weak because you have to tack on so many qualifiers for it to apply. "Oh you see, race is stronger than ethnicity, but only under X condition!!". If race truly trumped ethnicity like you appear to be arguing then it would be an enduring and constant phenomena and not just highly situational like you have to argue it is. Anyways, the japanese didnt fully know what to expect during this time period. What youre claiming is knowledge gained from hindsight, you dont know what they were actually thinking at the time. Here is a decent quote though which helps illustrate their thinking though:The Japanese were never under real threat of being colonized, as in, under imminent invasion.
the japanese were well aware of what was going on in the world at that time. what youre stating is essentially historically incorrect:
Keep in mind that the meiji restoration started around 1868, during approximately this same time period just a few years later this was what was going on in the world:
Figures like Shimazu Nariakira concluded that "if we take the initiative, we can dominate; if we do not, we will be dominated"
Your point is poorly written. I legitimately don't understand exactly what you're trying to say here. That being said, it is historical fact that japan declared war on its racially related neighbor china even while it was aware that european was actively colonizing africa and was attempting to do something similar in china at the time. Yet in spite of being aware of the intent of the hostile racial outsiders (europeans) japan still went and attacked its own racial neighbors. This just goes to show that your point about race trumping all other factors is absurd. In the real world there are so many other factors that matter besides raceSee above. And if an ethnicity sides against other ethnicities of their own race with an outside race threatening, it usually ends badly for that ethnicity. So it may happen, but it’s foolish. Just look at what happened to the Amerindians.
As I said before, you overestimate how much people value their overarching race as opposed to their ethnicity. In the real world other factors are equally if not more important than just “muh race”.
LOL. We weren't talking about why nations end up developing in different ways, we were discussing why supranational alliances are formed. In fact this is a point that you yourself brought up, its funny how you're trying to shift the topic since you apparently couldn't defend your own point. Your point about the US/liberia and spain/honduras has nothing to do with the fact that supranational alliances are formed due to many other factors than just race. I suspect you know that you couldnt defend your original point too, this is why you brought up some random but tangentially related point instead of discussing the primary point of contention.Race is the most important factor. It’s why the U.S. and Liberia look the way they do despite having near identical constitutions. It’s why Spain and Honduras look the way they do despite both being Catholic countries.
The fact that you are suggesting that supranational alliances are formed based on race is laughable. In the real world, people that are dealing with the real world consider many other more important factors than just race.
I read both of these articles, they're interesting articles but they don't prove your point. Just because some asian-americans band together to promote pan-asian identity politics doesn't mean that all or even most asian americans feel this way. The reality on the ground with your average asian-american is much different. They are not pan-racial to the extent that african-americans are for example. Like I said, in my experience when it comes to asian-americans, they primarily identify with their ethnicity first, a sense of pan-racial asian identity is either equal to this or comes in second place but doesnt supercede their ethnic identity like you were claiming, and then of course many asian-americans don't care about their ethnicity or their race. The situation in real life regarding asian-americans and pan-racial identity is much more complexed and nuanced than you're trying to argue it is.https://www.amren.com/news/2010/04/the_rise_of_asi/
lol I know a lot of asian americans. what youre saying isnt quite true.
https://www.amren.com/news/2010/04/asian_conscious/
wrong again. You're mixing up your arguments now lol. Lets break down everything you've said here:Nope, and you ignored my points essentially. Like I said, the Antifa example is an outlier because of how brainwashed a significant portion of whites have become. The viking example fails because there was no outside racial threat. Look at any multi-racial society and you will see that race > ethnicity. It should be obvious to you. Even look at China and Japan. They are much more comfortable with mongoloid immigrants of differing ethnicities then they are with immigrants of different races. The same goes for pretty much every national racial majorities around the world.
In the real world people generally value ethnicity over race, period.
brainwashing is just a form of culture, nothing more and nothing less. The reason we think and feel the way that we do is because of culture, in this context the brainwashing that youre referring to is basically a negative form of culture that has caused whites to think a certain way but it is culture nonetheless. Why is this culture argument significant? Its significant because it demonstrates the weakness of your "people value race over ethnicity" argument. When you make this claim what are you basing this belief on? You seem to be suggesting that it is a persistent, strong, inherent quality, is this correct? But if this is true then why is it able to be modified so strongly by environmental factors? Let me make this absolutely clear, im not arguing against the notion that pan-racial sentiment exists on an instinctual level. I absolutely believe this is true, but what i'm arguing against is the notion that pan-racial consciousness is a strong and overwhelming drive which supercedes ethnic sentiments.
Like I said, the Antifa example is an outlier because of how brainwashed a significant portion of whites have become.
wrong. You're forgetting the context in which this example was given. I provided the examples of the antifa and the viking in response to your claim that killing a member of your own race is worse than killing a member of a different race:
The viking example fails because there was no outside racial threat.
The example of the viking was not contingent upon an outside threat existing and this is supported by your own text. lmao youre so stupidyeah this is ridiculous. Although I wouldnt be suprised that a pan-racial consciousness advocate (IE a white nationalist) would write something like this. In the real world people generally value ethnicity over race, period. Although you claim that “evolutionarily speaking” it is worse to kill regional (but racially related) tribes, in the real world people don’t care about this. In the real world people care about actual concrete political objectives, not some quasi-philosophical, pop-science talking points. If your reasoning can’t hold up in the real world with real people then it really doesn’t amount to much does it?It is worse, especially from an evolutionary viewpoint. The races are literally different sub-species of human. Just like it’s worse to kill a member of your own family, it’s worse to kill a member of your own race. And from a cultural point of view, any destruction of a racially similar but ethnically different group’s culture is going to seem more self-destructive due to the cultural similarities that are likely to exist. For example, Chinese and Vietnamese culture had more common with each other than Chinese and Somalian.
Anyways what you wrote doesnt have anything to do with my original argument. You wanted to claim that fighting against/colonizing regional tribes is worse because they are racial kin and I provided an argument against that. Your response has nothing to do with disproving my original point.
Anyways your argument about pan-racial solidarity is extremely unconvincing and just strikes me as extraordinarily naive and sheltered from real world factors. In the real world race matters much less than you think it does. Do you think a white antifa would hesitate at bashing your skull in just because youre white too? LOL. Do you think an invading viking warrior would spare an anglo-saxon person just because they’re racial kin? LOL. Your point about so and so being bad from an evolutionary viewpoint is insanely autistic. As I keep saying, the real world is much more complicated than just “muh race”
this is largely due to proximity; its the same reason that a large amount of immigrants in the US are from mexico. Why import immigrants from across the world when you have a large labor pool in your own backyard? What youre claiming has some truth to it, but its not the whole picture, which has always been my point from the beginning
Even look at China and Japan. They are much more comfortable with mongoloid immigrants of differing ethnicities then they are with immigrants of different races. The same goes for pretty much every national racial majorities around the world.
lmao so you're arguing against your own point now? You are arguing that who the aggressor is is a vital distinction and subsequently I provided clear proof that the murder of the queen dowager essentially makes the nanyue (vietnam) court the "aggressor". They started this entire chain of events by exercising poor judgement in executing the queen dowager. You basically concede this point too, this is why you have to start a new argument about why this act doesn't justify the events that happened afterwards LOL. You literally were proven wrong using your own argument and as a result you have to run from it and try to argue that it "doesn't count" lmao.Yes, it is. The murder of this Queen (who was trying to get Vietnam to submit to Chinese overlordship) does not justify the aggressive Chinese colonial acts over the centuries.
No, who the aggressor is is somewhat important but its not a vital distinction.
yeah I already addressed this. Take the vietnam situation for example; you were ignorant of the history between china and vietnam and you literally thought that the chinese one day decided to go and randomly colonize the vietnamese one day, you were completely unaware of the events that led up to that which actually cast vietnam as the "aggressor". Furthermore you completely left out the pertinent fact that the state of nanyue (vietnam) was actually founded by a chinese person themselves (zhao tuo).

Their reaction was completely normal, likewise the chinese had legitimate interests in trying to rope in vietnam which was founded by a rogue chinese general.You still haven’t refuted that it matters who the aggressor is. It is vitally important. If you’re the aggressor in this hypothetical long-term “complicated relationship,” it doesn’t make what you’re doing to them somehow better than if you were doing it to a complete stranger. That’s ridiculous.
yup so you finally agree with my original point even though you were initially trying to argue it was wrong, and then you ignored it, and only now you agree to it although you’re laughably trying to reframe it.
How do we even define who the true aggressors are? You basically claim that the jews are the aggressors, but where do we even begin from? Who was truly the first aggressor? Look at what happened almost two thousand years ago:The latter, since Jewish culture (specifically Jewish supremacy) is working to destroy my people. They are the aggressors in this case. The “colonizers.”
As a white nationalist what is morally worse, destroying all jewish culture or destroying the culture of some ethnicity that you have never met?
no lol. I dont have to refute this because what you were saying was never the point of contention in the first place. You and I both know this. There is clear textual evidence that you were trying to suggest that the west gave up its colonies out of goodwill and I subsequently proved you wrong. This argument regarding the west giving up its colonies originated in comment #380No, it isn’t. The whole point was that the beliefs could change and did. You still haven’t refuted this.
oh but it is relevant because the original thrust behind your point was wrong. You wanted to suggest that the west gave up its colonies out of goodwill but historically speaking this is incorrect, ergo you were wrong.
You were originally trying to argue that the west gave up its colonies out of freewill and I subsequently proved you wrong in comment #384:
There’s one thing they could do instead of colonization, and they wouldn’t have to worry about the CIA (if your conspiracy theory is true) any more. Let them be independent. Give it away like the Europeans did to their colonies.
You have no way to argue against this, even your own words prove what you're saying wrong. You yourself know that you're wrong, this is why you're attempting to elevate the point of contention to something that you perceive as more defensible and trying to avoid discussing the matter within its own relevant context:WW1 and WW2 was the primary cause for europeans giving up their colonies (IE losers lost their colonies or the war just bankrupted the european governments amongst many other factors)
Give it away like the Europeans did to their colonies.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/history/british/modern/endofempire_overview_01.shtml
The europeans didnt always willingly give up their colonies, the reality of the situation was much more complex than how you’re trying to represent it.
whenever you get proven wrong on a point I frequently see you try to abstract out and argue about things on a different level so that you can avoid admitting you were wrong. thats really weak dude, if you're wrong you're wrong. im not even telling you that you have to admit you were wrong, but at least just drop the topic instead of trying to bullshit your way through it and act as if you weren't wrong.Replies: @FvS
No, it isn’t. The whole point was that the beliefs could change and did. You still haven’t refuted this.
actually the majority of my dictionary sources were from the first page of google.The first tenet listed by the ADL was whites should have dominance over people of other backgrounds, especially where they may co-exist. That is the essential component of white supremacy. Every quality source has that included. Just look at the random dictionary sites you had to scour the web for, lmao.
watching you try to do damage control is hilarious, also its really obvious too. You literally thought there was only one definition of white supremacy and it turns out you were wrong.
I just expect you guys to stop making bullshit excuses and rationalizations about western colonialism. This has always been my point since the very beginning. If you think it was so bad then stop bringing up your stupid "silver linings" and excuses for it. It makes you sound like an idiot when you cry about how bad colonialism is but then you turn around and make up rationalizations for it. If you really felt that bad about colonialism then you wouldn't even bother to make up excuses or rationalizations for it, you would just say it was bad and move on. Only an autist wouldn't be able to understand how bringing up "silver linings" undermines their own credibility in this kind of situation. Let me give you an example of this so you understand it better:And we do. Only white nationalists are consistent on this issue. What exactly do you expect of white nationalists? That we should give up our land to the Amerindian remnants? That we advocate all white Americans pack up and go back to Europe? That ship has sailed. What’s done is done. What people is going to eradicate its foundational history as something completely immoral just because it was based in bloodshed? Do you realize how many countries were founded on bloodshed? Does that mean they don’t get to have immigration policies? And you still haven’t been able to understand the concept of silver linings.
but we weren’t talking about most whites, we were talking about white nationalists. My original point stands, if you want to bark the loudest about colonialism then you have to live by your own creed.
what? I have no idea what you're talking about. I never claimed that I that white nationalists think that colonialism should be brought back in the first place, I just think that modern white nationalist are hypocrites because they still make excuses and rationalizations for colonization and then turn around and cry about jewish supremacism.So you admit you were wrong to call modern white nationalists hypocrites for calling out modern Jewish supremacism. Finally.
lol, why do you keep recycling this argument even though its been proven wrong? I said that white nationalists support western colonialism in the past, I never stated that white nationalists think that colonialism should be brought back. This is a misargument that you keep throwing out to muddy the water but you and I both know that it doesnt have any basis.
go ahead and explain the problem with my reasoning then. Im all earsLmao, you can’t be this retarded.
like you were saying nonchalantly, the native americans got displaced off their lands which you seem to be ok with and now the same is happening with whites by recent mass-immigration so whats the problem? Why do you condone the displacement of the native americans by european settlers but then get mad when white americans are displaced off their lands via mass-immigration? Its all the same dude.
not really. actually lets think critically about what kind of behavior could be considered effeminate. What would you call it if someone continually argued in an emotive, deflective and obfuscative manner where they frequently had to change goalposts in an effort to avoid admitting that their original points were wrong? What if when presented with irrefutable evidence that they were incorrect on a certain point this hypothetical commenter responded with catty one word responses like the following?No, it’s just a cringe saying. Effeminate.
its only cringe af to you because its true. you wanted to talk trash and it ended up backfiring on you lmao
I dont know...I would say that this hypothetical commenter would sound like the real effeminate one (you). If anything im the more "masculine" poster here. This is because I always use logic and well researched/thought out facts and arguments to back up my points. Notice how you're the one who's always having to jump around from argument to argument? I don't have to do that, I can always stand my ground and argue my points effectively without having to resort to cheap tricks lol.Ironic.
its genuinely not my fault that you have poor reading comprehension.
like I said:Your point was idiotic. The thoroughness of the Wikipedia article matters because Wikipedia has better sources and is trusted; the thoroughness of the rationalwiki article does not because they are poorly sourced, poorly reasoned, and not trusted.
and you still missed the point LOL. you thought I was unironically using rationalwiki and didn’t realize I was making a point by using rationalwiki. It totally went over your head
------------------------------------------------------------
and you still missed the point LOL. you thought I was unironically using rationalwiki and didn’t realize I was making a point by using rationalwiki. It totally went over your head
uh...why make a strawman dude? I never said that white nationalists would want to suddenly seek domination and lordship over non-whites; this is exactly what I wrote:
I do know what white nationalists believe. And to think we would want to suddenly seek domination and lordship over non-whites after we have finally achieved the racial separation we crave is asinine. “Yes, we finally have our white countries back! Alright, now let’s go start involving ourselves with non-whites again!” Turkey is more or less an ethnostate. Do you live in fear of them trying to bring back the Ottoman Empire? Do Turkey and Japan need to become multi-racial states because they might bring back their empires?
In the entirety of the original passage I clearly suggested that a hypothetical reacceptance of colonialism might happen at some point, I never said it would happen suddenly. The linchpin to your rebuttal is that white nationalists would suddenly want to start colonizing again, which I was never claiming to begin with. Like I said:
The point being, if white nationalists were to ever come to power then the overton window for whats considered acceptable would shift sharply to the right; at some point its not unfeasible that western nations (especially under the control of hardliner WN elements) might just decided to colonize weaker countries to relieve over-population in western nations or perhaps they might resort to it simply to gather more resources and be in a stronger position vis a vis other western nations. I wouldn’t be surprised if some of the more ambitious WN nations might use biological warfare in order to covertly kill off the populations of some third world nations and then use some phony humanitarian pretext to move in and take over the resources and living space.
My hypothetical scenario was extremely reasonable in spite of your attempts to strawman it and make it look absurd lol.
The point is, you don’t really understand what white nationalism (or any political movement) can truly be capable of. You continue to act as if you understand how every white nationalist thinks and feels, but this is an illusion. You don’t actually know this at all, you only think you do. Secondly, even if you did know how every white nationalist thinks and feels, you wouldn’t know how they would feel in a different time with different circumstances. Everything you say regarding what you think white nationalists would think and do is basically conjecture, you have no way of proving it. What I just wrote is also conjecture but unlike you I make no pretenses about it and freely admit that its conjecture. You on the other hand spew out conjecture but like to package it as fact. Finally keep in mind that if people change, they can also change back.
once again, I provided a very good example of how western colonization helped promote globalization and you were unable to refute it as a result you are still trying to dodge that point lol.Those countries I mentioned were never colonized. That there exist millions of immigrants from these countries in many others all around the world is enough to prove you wrong.
I provided a very good example of how western colonization helped promote globalization and since you couldn’t answer it you went off on a different tangent about asian immigrants instead and was hoping I wouldnt notice lol. Also with regards to asian immigration itself in the west, I already gave you a lengthy answer about this in my last response (comment #403)
just to reiterate since you keep purposely ignoring this point; had the west never tried to encroach on east asia then east asia would have remained in its slumber and would have continued to be self-isolated and cut off from the rest of the world. The west literally forced east asia to open up and interact with the entire world; had the west never done this then these countries would have remained closed off and they would be unable to provide millions of immigrants to the west.
well the west probably should have left the entire world alone yet it forced the entire world to globalize and interconnect at literal gunpoint for over five centuries. Modern globalization is based upon the foundation created by european colonization of the entire world. You should blame your ancestors for the current state of affairs. That being said, ironically instead of blaming your ancestors, people like you continue to exonerate and even celebrate them for their colonial adventures. (comment #223)
Its painful how wrong your facts are lol. Not only that but you improperly presented your facts as well. You didn't even provide sources for your data or a methodology LOL. Lets dig into the actual immigration data regarding spain and find out the real facts:
And the why it happens in the West is not because of colonialism, but because of Jews, capital, and a traitorous elite. Take Spain for example. It had one of the largest colonial empires and yet because of their deliberate immigration policy, the largest foreign populations there are Moroccans, Romanians, and other Europeans. The foreign population from their former colonies totals to about 1.5%.
I have no idea where you got the 1.5% figure from. Immigrants from former spanish colonies equal approximately 36% of the total immigrant population in spain, not 1.5%. Maybe you got confused and were claiming that the percentage of the total population of spain that were immigrants from former colonies was equal to 1.5%? Although this figure is still incorrect since the percentage of the population that were immigrants from former colonies actually equals 4.7% of the population if we use the 2019 population numbers for spain which is 47,007,367 people.
Take Spain for example. It had one of the largest colonial empires and yet because of their deliberate immigration policy, the largest foreign populations there are Moroccans, Romanians, and other Europeans. The foreign population from their former colonies totals to about 1.5%.
You were claiming that modern globalization wasn't dependent upon the legacy of western colonialism however...moroccan mass immigration and intraeuropean mass immigration cant even be considered a form of globalization in the first place LOL. Morocco and other european countries are literally right next/near to spain, this cannot be considered "globalization", if anything its "regionalization". The affairs of spain, morocco and the rest of europe would always have been intertwined regardless. The argument I was always making (and this is textually supported) is that western colonization was crucial in bringing about modern globalization.Strawman. I never said it had nothing to do with it, I just said that it wasn’t dependent on it. I see colonialism as having exacerbated globalism. You still can’t refute that technology would have brought the world much closer together anyway. Mass migrations happened in the past even before colonialism.
Its amazing that you still insist that modern globalization has nothing to do with the framework set up by over five centuries of western meddling with the rest of the world. You demonstrate your ignorance of history by claiming this. Modern globalization would not exist in its current form were it not for the past actions of the west.
except you really cant though lol. this is just your conjecture, you still don't know what would happen because everything (especially the political climate) would be completely different. We would have to literally redo over five centuries of history. The knock-on effect of the absence of western colonialism in an alternate timeline would affect the existence and nature of jews, capital and the white elite themselves. Its almost impossible to conceive what this alternate reality would be like. Take the jews for example; in an alternate history where western colonialism had never happened then the american revolution would have never occurred, if the american revolution had never occurred then its likely that the french revolution would have never happened:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/French_RevolutionIf Jews, capital, and a sellout white elite still exist in this hypothetical scenario, I think we can make a fair prediction.
you have no idea how, why and what form globalization would have taken in a hypothetical reality where technology brings together the world but western colonialism didn’t happen. its nonsensical for you to act as if mass-immigration would have definitely happened, you really don’t know at all.
Had the french revolution never happened then the emancipation of the jews in europe would have never happened:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_the_Jews_in_France#Beginnings_of_emancipationHad the jews never been emancipated in europe then they most likely would have been unable to become as powerful as they are today in the west. As you can see, western colonialism has influenced everything; its impossible for you to assume that jews, capital and the white elite would have the same function and abilities in an alternate reality where western colonialism had never happened.
The causes of the French Revolution are complex and are still debated among historians. Following the Seven Years' War and the American Revolutionary War,[5] the French government was deeply in debt. It attempted to restore its financial status through unpopular taxation schemes, which were heavily regressive. Leading up to the Revolution, years of bad harvests worsened by deregulation of the grain industry and environmental problems also inflamed popular resentment of the privileges enjoyed by the aristocracy and the Catholic clergy of the established church. Some historians hold something similar to what Thomas Jefferson proclaimed: that France had "been awakened by our [American] Revolution."[6] Demands for change were formulated in terms of Enlightenment ideals and contributed to the convocation of the Estates General in May 1789.
I only said this in response to what you had previously wrote:You said that all that matters is power and so like whites genocided the Amerindians, so to are Jews genociding whites. Now, if you don’t agree with this and think both situations were/are not justified, what exactly was your agenda in calling white nationalists hypocrites in the first place. Again, you were siding with the Jews by doing so.
no, provide the specific quote where I wrote this. lets talk about it
stating an objective fact doesn't mean that I agree or disagree with anything. Im merely making the objectively true observation that the same thing which happened to the amerindians is happening to modern whites and then I pointed out your hypocrisy in regards to this. Me pointing out your hypocrisy for condoning the native american genocide but getting mad over white genocide is not the same as me saying that white genocide is justified. Therefore your rebuttal is wrongExcellent point, the same logic applies to all of the immigrants (legal and otherwise) in western countries. This land formerly belonged to whites and now much of it belongs to non-white immigrants. So why are you mad about all of this? If its ok for the native americans to be dispossessed of their lands (regardless of the means), then why does it make you so mad when whites are gradually displaced from their lands? Its the same principle
And there is the fact almost all land belonged to someone else at some point. Can you steal what was already stolen?
your rebuttal doesnt refute anything I wrote in that quote lolYour ego won’t let you admit you were wrong to call modern white nationalists hypocrites and instead, I showed you to be the real hypocrite, colonizer. I bet you would have watched from the sidelines of Rwanda and called the Tutsis hypocrites for trying to save themselves from the Hutus, all because of what the Tutsis did in the past.
I cant help that your victimhood complex renders you unable to understand the genesis of context in conversations. The fact that I would have equally brought up the mongolian conquests if you were a mongolian nationalist complaining about jewish supremacy basically destroys your whole “stop oppressing me because im white!” stance. Remember, you had trouble even understanding what a simple comparative statement was (comment #383), in fact you spent about two weeks being confused over this; so its not surprising that you don’t understand a simple point like this as well.
its right there though; I was literally clarifying my own position. You were factually wrong when you called me out because you thought I was trying to attribute that position to you.Ironic.
its genuinely not my fault that you have poor reading comprehension.
whats funny is that you cant even debate this, all you can do is leave a snarky one word comment lmao
Ironically your apples and oranges argument is supporting my original thesis. For various reasons, different ethnicities might or might not have tried to dominate the world if they were in a position to do so. To say that all ethnicities/cultural blocs would have acted in the same way were they in the position of western europeans is a really broad and unprovable statement due to its inherent complexity. comment #385
not necessarily. The words race and ethnicity have an overlap in usage, even the merriam-webster dictionary supports this notion:https://www.merriam-webster.com/thesaurus/ethnicityLmao, the only way race could be used interchangeably with ethnicity is if the words mean the same thing.
wow…you didn’t even understand the meaning of what I was writing LOL. I was referring to the fact that semantically speaking race can be used interchangeably with ethnicity in many cases. I wasn’t literally saying that the scientific concept of race and ethnicity are interchangeable.
Once again, you are wrong. Semantically speaking the words race and ethnicity can be used interchangeably sometimes.
Synonyms for ethnicitynation, nationality, race
yeah I read that entire passage, you didnt explicitly clarify that you had made a typo, you were talking about something entirely different:Post 389. And every post after I wrote white nationalists.
I dont recall you explicitly clarifying this and saying that it was a typo. Im not accusing you of lying either, please show where you explicitly clarified that this was a type. I don’t recall you saying anything to this effect but I could be wrong
And again white nationalism and white supremacism are two different things. White nationalists may point out silver linings in the colonial actions of the past, some might even think colonialism was justified at the time (though I can’t think of any prominent one that does), but they absolutely do not support white supremacy in the present. There is no hypocrisy because we are talking about the Jewish supremacism that exists right now and that is destroying our people. So, what we have is one group of people that are not racial supremacists bringing attention to another group of people that are racial supremacists and who are slowly trying to genocide the first group.---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
lol, so you can't find where I specifically made this claim then. As a result you have to rely on what you think I implied lol. This is why you have to depend on conclusions instead of you know, simply posting a quote of where I said something to the effect of what you're claiming. In other words, you can't find where I made such a claim in spite of repeatedly claiming that I said that whites have collective guilt for past transgressions and have to pay for it by accepting mass immigration LOLReplies: @FvSPost 412 explains. But it’s also clearly implied from your criticism of white nationalists since they are the only ones fighting back against white genocide. If did not support white genocide, you would have kept your mouth shut. That you did not, leads me to conclude only one thing.
its really quite simple. If I made the argument that you’re claiming that I made then you could find the passage where I specifically said so and then post it here.
and you still missed the point LOL. you thought I was unironically using rationalwiki and didn't realize I was making a point by using rationalwiki. It totally went over your headRationalwiki and wikipedia can’t be compared.
yeah that was the point. My reason for providing a thorough article from rationalwiki was to show you that just because something is thorough doesn’t mean that its necessarily correct. Hence why I used an obviously biased and non-trustworthy source like rationalwiki. You missed the point, thats why you thought I was unironically using a source like rationalwiki
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Lmao, rationalwiki… Jesus dude, have some self-awareness.
whats really damning is the fact that I never claimed that white advocates/white nationalists want to bring back colonialism. See below:It’s the prevailing viewpoint. The fact that you can’t find one white advocate that says otherwise is pretty damning.
says who? you? you dont speak for the entire alt-right
I only claimed that I think if the conditions were right then alt-righters would condone the return of colonialism. That's a significantly different statement than outright claiming that white advocates/white nationalists want to bring back colonialism. That being said, im not surprised that you have problems understanding this kind of nuanced statement, you did afterall spend two weeks being confused over a simple comparative statement back in comment #383. Once again:
I think that if the conditions were right then alt-righters (who I was referring to in the original comment) would condone the return of colonialism.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
this is your supposition, but like any political group there will be a lot of diversity in terms of political opinions. I would say that there are a decent amount of white nationalists who think that colonialism was justified, not the majority, but definitely a decent number in my experience. Furthermore I assume that you are a strong believer in the counter-currents brand of white nationalism, this is my impression given what you’ve said so far and the fact that you linked one of their articles earlier, however that being said, counter currents does not speak for all white nationalists (nobody does), counter-currents only speaks for its own brand of white nationalism. I think you basically assume that just because the people in your own white nationalist bubble don’t think colonialism was justified then this means that all white nationalists must feel this way, but like I said, there is a lot of diversity in any political group and white nationalism is no exception, its folly to speak with such certainty of all white nationalists feeling one way or another on a given topic.
you asked for the conditions under which white nationalists would go back to supporting colonialism and I provided a realistic scenario. whether you agree with it or not is a different issue, but I provided you what you asked for. You don't know the future and neither do I. Once again:
Quit drinking the kool-aid. White nationalism is just ethnonationalism for white ethnic groups, nothing more. Do the Japanese need to be made a minority in Japan because they might invade China again? What about the Turks and the Ottoman Empire? What about the Mongolians? Do they have a right to determine immigration policy in their own country? White nationalists are some of the biggest anti-imperialists around. Your fears are baseless, and you know it. Otherwise, you would provide some evidence showing white nationalists arguing for a return of genocide, colonialism, slavery, etc.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Its pretty simple, youre assuming that colonialism is passe because it is no longer considered acceptable under the current ideological world order where unlimited self expression is impossible for the west because it has a boot on its neck; however if the west were to actually and not just symbolically gain control of its own countries again then we don’t really know what the impact on culture would be. I think its safe to assume though that we would see an inversion of many of the current political trends such as political correctness, multiculturalism, promotion of transgenderism, etc etc. It stands to reason that at some point things like women’s rights and even concepts like racial equality might eventually get reversed or questioned.
The point being, if white nationalists were to ever come to power then the overton window for whats considered acceptable would shift sharply to the right; at some point its not unfeasible that western nations (especially under the control of hardliner WN elements) might just decided to colonize weaker countries to relieve over-population in western nations or perhaps they might resort to it simply to gather more resources and be in a stronger position vis a vis other western nations. I wouldn’t be surprised if some of the more ambitious WN nations might use biological warfare in order to covertly kill off the populations of some third world nations and then use some phony humanitarian pretext to move in and take over the resources and living space.
The point is, you don’t really understand what white nationalism (or any political movement) can truly be capable of. You continue to act as if you understand how every white nationalist thinks and feels, but this is an illusion. You don’t actually know this at all, you only think you do. Secondly, even if you did know how every white nationalist thinks and feels, you wouldn’t know how they would feel in a different time with different circumstances.

What I just wrote is also conjecture but unlike you I make no pretenses about it and freely admit that its conjecture. You on the other hand spew out conjecture but like to package it as fact. Finally keep in mind that if people change, they can also change back.
I provided you an example of how western colonization promoted globalization and then you sidestepped the point by changing the topic to asian immigration. See below:
Whether they are third world or not is irrelevant. It’s whether they were colonized that matters. That was your original point. The fact remains that China, Korea, and Japan were never colonized. Yet somehow, there are millions of them in the West. That they weren’t colonized was no hindrance to them being here.
(comment #400)There are a lot Chinese, Koreans, Thais, Japanese, in the West and they were never colonized. Christianity has exacerbated things, I agree.
Literally billions of third worlders are familiar with western culture and western languages due to the legacy of colonialism. That’s a lot of people, there is no way to deny this. The fact that they are familiar with western culture and western languages makes it easier for them to integrate into western society period. There are potentially billions of third worlders who want to immigrate to western countries due to their shared languages and cultures as a result of colonialism. Not only that but you need to consider the religious aspect as well. Due to colonialism, christianity was spread throughout the entire world, consequently these religious ties are used to justify multiculturalism and mass immigration.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Anyways, had the west never had colonial/imperialistic ambitions for east asia to begin with then these parts of the world would probably still be self isolated. The capability for these parts of the world to subsequently supply millions of immigrants to the west is directly connected to the west historically forcing them to open up and making them interact with the rest of the world. Like I originally said:(comment #223)
well the west probably should have left the entire world alone yet it forced the entire world to globalize and interconnect at literal gunpoint for over five centuries. Modern globalization is based upon the foundation created by european colonization of the entire world. You should blame your ancestors for the current state of affairs.

You demonstrate your ignorance of history by claiming this. Modern globalization would not exist in its current form were it not for the past actions of the west.
I never denied that technology would have brought the world much closer together in the absence of globalism, but technology does not automatically mean that mass immigration would happen. It simply provides the means through which mass immigration would be enabled. Currently many of the governments on earth have the technological capabilities to turn the world into a nuclear wasteland, but just because we have that ability doesn't mean that it will automatically happen. What causes a nuclear war is not capability alone but rather capability and politics. Likewise, what causes mass immigration is not technology alone but rather technology and politics/geo-political relationships/institutions etc. Had western colonialism never happened then the world would be completely different. Its like I previously wrote:
Strawman. I never said it had nothing to do with it, I just said that it wasn’t dependent on it. I see colonialism as having exacerbated globalism. You still can’t refute that technology would have brought the world much closer together anyway. Mass migrations happened in the past even before colonialism.
you have no idea how, why and what form globalization would have taken in a hypothetical reality where technology brings together the world but western colonialism didn't happen. its nonsensical for you to act as if mass-immigration would have definitely happened, you really don't know at all.This is conjecture, you don’t know what would have happened had colonialism never happened. The world would look entirely different had colonialism never happened. Keep in mind that the US, canada and a bunch of countries wouldn’t even exist anymore if colonialism had never happened. Just this factor alone means that mass immigration would be significantly curtailed since some of the countries that we now know wouldn’t exist in the first place to receive mass immigration. The entire modern world and even how we think and perceive the world and the people in it is based upon the legacy of colonialism. The point youre trying to make is basically unprovable and rests on so many assumptions (various causal assumptions need to be made to replace the role of colonialism or its legacy) about how an alternative form of globalization would have occurred that you might as well be writing fiction.
I would say globalization and mass immigration have been exacerbated by colonialism, but would likely still exist had it never existed in Europe. Technology would still have connected the world, and Jewish supremacists would still hate whites.
no, provide the specific quote where I wrote this. lets talk about itAbove, in relation to Jews, Amerindians, and immigration.
Why dont you get your story straight? Where have I suggested that white genocide is justified? Please provide where I have stated this, you keep suggesting that I have but you haven’t been able to provide proof for where ive said this in this thread.
post it then, post the exact quote where I wrote this. Don't side step, don't dodge, just post where I stated thisI already told you. Learn to read.
where have I advocated that collective guilt should be assigned to present whites for the actions of past whites? provide evidence where I have said something to this effect in this thread
like I said:
And no, you wouldn’t have brought up the Mongolian conquests if I was a Mongolian nationalist lmao. I doubt anyone on this planet has a problem with Mongolia staying Mongolian. It’s only when it comes to whites wanting the same for their countries that anyone ever objects. But hey, at least you got some good goy points, colonizer.
I cant help that your victimhood complex renders you unable to understand the genesis of context in conversations. The fact that I would have equally brought up the mongolian conquests if you were a mongolian nationalist complaining about jewish supremacy basically destroys your whole "stop oppressing me because im white!" stance. Remember, you had trouble even understanding what a simple comparative statement was (comment #383), in fact you spent about two weeks being confused over this; so its not surprising that you don't understand a simple point like this as well.Replies: @FvS
lol I never did this. This entire conversation began due to a white nationalist (you) complaining about jews being racial supremacists and wanting to dominate the world and then I pointed out the hypocrisy in a white nationalist (who typically condone western domination of the entire world) complaining about jews doing the same thing. Im not singling out whites, im talking about whites because its relevant to the original context of this debate. If you were a mongolian nationalist then I would have brought up the mongolian conquests instead. Its hilarious how your white nationalist fragility makes you think that everyone is trying to single out whites. Yeah…maybe I was just talking about whites because its pertinent to the context of the conversation to begin with??
and you still missed the point LOL. you thought I was unironically using rationalwiki and didn’t realize I was making a point by using rationalwiki. It totally went over your head
Your point was idiotic. The thoroughness of the Wikipedia article matters because Wikipedia has better sources and is trusted; the thoroughness of the rationalwiki article does not because they are poorly sourced, poorly reasoned, and not trusted.
you asked for the conditions under which white nationalists would go back to supporting colonialism and I provided a realistic scenario. whether you agree with it or not is a different issue, but I provided you what you asked for. You don’t know the future and neither do I.
I do know what white nationalists believe. And to think we would want to suddenly seek domination and lordship over non-whites after we have finally achieved the racial separation we crave is asinine. “Yes, we finally have our white countries back! Alright, now let’s go start involving ourselves with non-whites again!” Turkey is more or less an ethnostate. Do you live in fear of them trying to bring back the Ottoman Empire? Do Turkey and Japan need to become multi-racial states because they might bring back their empires?
I provided a very good example of how western colonization helped promote globalization and since you couldn’t answer it you went off on a different tangent about asian immigrants instead and was hoping I wouldnt notice lol. Also with regards to asian immigration itself in the west, I already gave you a lengthy answer about this in my last response (comment #403)
Those countries I mentioned were never colonized. That there exist millions of immigrants from these countries in many others all around the world is enough to prove you wrong.
I never denied that technology would have brought the world much closer together in the absence of globalism, but technology does not automatically mean that mass immigration would happen. It simply provides the means through which mass immigration would be enabled. Currently many of the governments on earth have the technological capabilities to turn the world into a nuclear wasteland, but just because we have that ability doesn’t mean that it will automatically happen. What causes a nuclear war is not capability alone but rather capability and politics. Likewise, what causes mass immigration is not technology alone but rather technology and politics/geo-political relationships/institutions etc. Had western colonialism never happened then the world would be completely different.
And the why it happens in the West is not because of colonialism, but because of Jews, capital, and a traitorous elite. Take Spain for example. It had one of the largest colonial empires and yet because of their deliberate immigration policy, the largest foreign populations there are Moroccans, Romanians, and other Europeans. The foreign population from their former colonies totals to about 1.5%.
you have no idea how, why and what form globalization would have taken in a hypothetical reality where technology brings together the world but western colonialism didn’t happen. its nonsensical for you to act as if mass-immigration would have definitely happened, you really don’t know at all.
If Jews, capital, and a sellout white elite still exist in this hypothetical scenario, I think we can make a fair prediction. Again, your focus on colonialism is facile.
no, provide the specific quote where I wrote this. lets talk about it
You said that all that matters is power and so like whites genocided the Amerindians, so to are Jews genociding whites. Now, if you don’t agree with this and think both situations were/are not justified, what exactly was your agenda in calling white nationalists hypocrites in the first place. Again, you were siding with the Jews by doing so.
I cant help that your victimhood complex renders you unable to understand the genesis of context in conversations. The fact that I would have equally brought up the mongolian conquests if you were a mongolian nationalist complaining about jewish supremacy basically destroys your whole “stop oppressing me because im white!” stance. Remember, you had trouble even understanding what a simple comparative statement was (comment #383), in fact you spent about two weeks being confused over this; so its not surprising that you don’t understand a simple point like this as well.
Your ego won’t let you admit you were wrong to call modern white nationalists hypocrites and instead, I showed you to be the real hypocrite, colonizer. I bet you would have watched from the sidelines of Rwanda and called the Tutsis hypocrites for trying to save themselves from the Hutus, all because of what the Tutsis did in the past.
Actually almost all traits are universal to all the races. This goes for intelligence, strength, creativity etc etc. What differs is the degree in which these attributes are evident. Not only that but there are probably also different racial psychologies and perogatives. You claimed the following:
Some things are universal to all races. If the Mongolians, Aztecs, or Bantus had the same kind of military technology, ships, and religion as the Western Europeans, you would see the same kind of expansion as Western Europeans engaged in. The existence of just one ethnic group belonging to each of the major races that acts in the same way as the European colonials powers did proves my original statement.
However you can't actually back up this claim. In order for this claim to be true then this would mean that all the other races would have to demonstrate at least equal levels of the drive to conquer and dominate compared with whites, however there is no way to precisely prove this. While different ethnic representatives of each race may have demonstrated a marked desire to conquer and dominate, you do not know if it would have been a sufficiently strong desire to dominate and conquer the entire world like whites did. This is the flaw in your logic, you are making the presumption that each race would have an equally strong drive to want to dominate and conquer but this can't actually be proven. We don't apply this notion of equality to other qualities when discussing race so why would the drive to dominate and conquer (or whatever constellation of traits actually underpins these qualities) be any different? You don't know if all the other races would have done the same because you can't precisely quantify the intensity of each race's desire to conquer and dominate. Some races might have tried to conquer the entire world if they could, others might just stop at their continent and call it a day. You actually can't prove that each race would want to conquer and dominate the entire world.
All the other races would have done the same in our place, they just weren’t ever strong enough to even come close to accomplishing it.
so your supposition that all other races would have done the same in our place now includes religion too? Funny because that wasn't implied to be part of your original claim:
If the Mongolians, Aztecs, or Bantus had the same kind of military technology, ships, and religion as the Western Europeans, you would see the same kind of expansion as Western Europeans engaged in
you were originally implying that it all came down to a matter of strength and technological ability, funny how now you have to adjust your claim to include religion as well. I guess thats because you figured that your original claim sans the religion factor wasn't powerful enough to stand on its own. Your supposition that all other races would have done the same is patently unprovable and unscientific according to HBD theory. Its nothing more than an argument underpinned by racial blank slateism.
All the other races would have done the same in our place, they just weren’t ever strong enough to even come close to accomplishing it.
Why leave out the rest of what I said?Portugal was looking for a trading outposts to trade with the entire region, including with China. Sri Lanka is closer to China than to Portugal, and it’s a very long distance from Portugal to China.
The chinese interest in the malacca sultanate and the kotte also originated in trade as well.
China also needed to trade with the region as well (which was still relatively far away from china itself), therefore china would have had the same incentive to set up a colony in the area but it didnt bother. Keep in mind that the portuguese had a clear history of setting up overseas colonies, the chinese don't. The portuguese actions in kotte and malacca fits their MO with regards to their actions in the rest of the world. Your argument about the portugese having significantly different objectives than the chinese and this explaining why they colonized the kotte kingdom and the malacca sultanate doesn't really hold up. Whats more likely is that HBD/cultural differences caused the portuguese to colonize whereas the chinese took a more hands off approach.
BTW did you ever bother looking at a map to see how far away the malacca sultanate and the kotte kingdom were from china? Its a pretty big distance, so your argument regarding the portuguese needing to trade in the region while being very far from home could similarly apply to the chinese as well.
Oh I do understand what china is doing in africa, and its not european style colonization which even you admit. My original point was that you continue to try to deliberately conflate european colonization with china's actions in africa when in actuality the two things are quite different. You yourself admit this. Therefore if the two things are qualitatively different then why do you continue to talk as if they're the same?
It’s you that doesn’t understand what China is doing in Africa. It could be described as economic colonialism. It’s not politically oppressive like European colonialism was, but Africans will probably end up selling away their countries in the end.
this is more supposition from you, you guess that africans will probably end up selling away their countries but you don't really have a good reason to support this. You're just stating it because it fits your own political agenda lol. I can definitely foresee africans selling/longterm-leasing some vital areas to the chinese, but I don't foresee them selling their countries away though.
It’s you that doesn’t understand what China is doing in Africa. It could be described as economic colonialism. It’s not politically oppressive like European colonialism was, but Africans will probably end up selling away their countries in the end.
sure bro
Yes, but that doesn’t mean I was trying to negate the rest of European colonialism. I was just bringing attention to this specific area of history and was wondering if it could be classified in the same way as the other instances of European colonialism.
the japanese were well aware of what was going on in the world at that time. what youre stating is essentially historically incorrect:Because the European powers weren’t trying to colonize Japan as well as China. If they had been, Chinese vs. Japanese ethnic rivalries would have taken a backseat to the outside racial aggressor.
You are just claiming this. Can you actually prove it? As a counter-example to your point, if this was true then why did japan collaborate with european powers to colonize china instead of allying with other asian countries? The point you are trying to argue is a vast oversimplification, real politik is based on much more than just “muh race”
The japanese were well aware of the fact that east asia was having to deal with a hostile, outside racial aggressor, but this didn't cause the japanese to close ranks with the chinese because of it; in fact just the opposite happened:
Second, outside pressure from foreigners convinced the Japanese that they needed to modernize quickly. Japan watched China get pummeled and humiliated by the British for trying to prevent the Brits from selling opium. Then, in 1853, United States commodore Matthew Perry sailed into Tokyo Bay with four war ships and massive guns. He demanded that Japan open itself up for international trade. The Japanese had no weapons to match the American firepower, so they had to agree with Perry's demand.
Actually supranational alliances form for many reasons, among those reasons proximity is probably the most important one. Your problem is that you're misattributing the role of proximity to race. That being said, proximity is not the only thing that supranational alliances are based on, they also tend to be based on common cultural factors as well (even including religion). The fact that you are suggesting that supranational alliances are formed based on race is laughable. In the real world, people that are dealing with the real world consider many other more important factors than just race.
Also, supranational alliances tend to form along racial lines. European caucasoids, MENA caucasoids, mongoloids, negroids, etc. all have more in common with each other than outside groups. An example would be Asians in the United States. Pan-Asian identity supersedes old ethnic groups here. And in China and even in Japan, they are more comfortable having other Asian ethnic groups as immigrants than non-Asians.
lol I know a lot of asian americans. what youre saying isnt quite true. I would say that most asian americans are more adamant about their ethnic identity as opposed to their overarching racial identity. To say that a pan-asian identity supercedes ethnic identity is wrong, its more accurate to say that a pan-asian identity either co-exists with ethnic identity or takes second fiddle to it. This is even assuming that a given asian-american chooses to associate themselves with a cultural identity at all, lots of asian-americans are happy to integrate with mixed groups and don't place particular importance upon their ethnicity OR their race. Ultimately though this is a moot point because all of this is congruent with what ive already said:
An example would be Asians in the United States. Pan-Asian identity supersedes old ethnic groups here. And in China and even in Japan, they are more comfortable having other Asian ethnic groups as immigrants than non-Asians.
there is such thing as pan-racial consciousness but its nowhere near as strong and ubiquitous as youre trying to make it sound like it is.
If people actually valued the concept of an overarching race over their ethnicity then they wouldn’t fight each other in the first place. Proximity is a factor of course, but it doesn’t entirely disprove my original argument. Your point about there being a strong and consistent pan-racial consciousness for each race is just wrong. In my experience the majority of people do not think this way. Your mistake is that you’re trying to argue that pan-racial consciousness is much stronger than it actually is, the sentiment exists but its not as strong or as ubiquitous as you’re acting like it is.
yeah this is ridiculous. Although I wouldnt be suprised that a pan-racial consciousness advocate (IE a white nationalist) would write something like this. In the real world people generally value ethnicity over race, period. Although you claim that "evolutionarily speaking" it is worse to kill regional (but racially related) tribes, in the real world people don't care about this. In the real world people care about actual concrete political objectives, not some quasi-philosophical, pop-science talking points. If your reasoning can't hold up in the real world with real people then it really doesn't amount to much does it?
It is worse, especially from an evolutionary viewpoint. The races are literally different sub-species of human. Just like it’s worse to kill a member of your own family, it’s worse to kill a member of your own race. And from a cultural point of view, any destruction of a racially similar but ethnically different group’s culture is going to seem more self-destructive due to the cultural similarities that are likely to exist. For example, Chinese and Vietnamese culture had more common with each other than Chinese and Somalian.
No, who the aggressor is is somewhat important but its not a vital distinction. History is very very complicated, oftentimes the true genesis of a conflict becomes obscured in the mists of history. Fortunately the history behind china's colonization of vietnam is pretty clear. I'll give you a brief rundown of the history of china's colonization of vietnam:You left out the key context of who the aggressor is which is a vital distinction, and I went into some potential scenarios explaining further. I notice you didn’t even try to refute them. China’s colonization of Vietnam was no better than if China had tried to colonize Malacca since China was the aggressor against Vietnam.
Anyways, I would absolutely argue that it is worse to kill people that you have never met and have no negative history with than it is to kill some people that you have a negative/stressful history with.
So basically the first chinese colonization of vietnam began due to the nanyue (vietnam) nobility executing the queen dowager of nanyue (who was chinese herself) which in turn provoked a punitive response from the chinese han dynasty. This punitive response is what we now know as the first chinese domination of vietnam:
At the Nanyue court in 113 BC, the Queen Dowager of Nanyue suggested incorporating Nanyue as a kingdom under the suzerainty of the Han empire, thus formally integrating the kingdom on the same terms as the other kingdoms of the Han empire.[6] She was Chinese herself and was married to Zhao Yingqi.[6] However, many Nanyue ministers opposed this suggestion.[6] Lü Jia was the primary Nanyue official to oppose the idea and he led the opposition against the Queen Dowager.[5] In 112 BC, the opposition retaliated violently and executed the Queen Dowager, a provocation that led to the mobilization of a large Han naval force into Nanyue.[5]
I didnt say you did, below is what I wrote:
I don’t want to destroy Jewish culture.
I just said you almost seem to be advocating it, I never claimed that you ever actually stated that.
I didn’t say you did want to destroy the jews. I wrote destroy all jewish culture , which is something you almost seem to be advocating since you continually complain about jewish culture. That being said, you didn’t answer my question:
yup so you finally agree with my original point even though you were initially trying to argue it was wrong, and then you ignored it, and only now you agree to it although you're laughably trying to reframe it.The latter, since Jewish culture (specifically Jewish supremacy) is working to destroy my people. They are the aggressors in this case. The “colonizers.”
As a white nationalist what is morally worse, destroying all jewish culture or destroying the culture of some ethnicity that you have never met?
oh but it is relevant because the original thrust behind your point was wrong. You wanted to suggest that the west gave up its colonies out of goodwill but historically speaking this is incorrect, ergo you were wrong.Why they gave them up is irrelevant because we have the power to bring them back. Since we have chosen not to, our beliefs have changed.
yet the truth was that external factors were the primary factor in forcing the west to give up their colonies, it wasnt done as a voluntary act of goodwill like you were trying to suggest. As we both know, my point was always about why the west gave up its colonies, not about the fact that the west gave up its colonies itself. Therefore your original point was wrong.
why ignore what is factually true? I have posted both the conversation and the comment number. You were mistaken in your original allegation and this is proven by what you wrote. The only one dodging here is youDodging the question again I see. Coward.
Like I said, why not just admit that you were incorrect? You tried to accuse me of something which wasn’t chronologically supported within our conversation (comment #367). Instead of admitting that you were mistaken you’ve just doubled down and tried to throw out a bunch of non-related arguments.
watching you try to do damage control is hilarious, also its really obvious too. You literally thought there was only one definition of white supremacy and it turns out you were wrong.
Haha, you really reached for those “dictionary” definitions. And did you even read the first tenet of the ADL definition. Anyone actually familiar with the topic should have understood the distinction between white supremacy and white nationalism.
I have always maintained that there could be multiple definitions of white supremacy, this is why I was the first one to ask for a clarification in comment #316. The fact that one of the ADL definitions of white supremacy supports your own definition of white supremacy isn't somehow proving me wrong, in fact its just the opposite, it proves me right.
And did you even read the first tenet of the ADL definition. Anyone actually familiar with the topic should have understood the distinction between white supremacy and white nationalism.
but we weren't talking about most whites, we were talking about white nationalists. My original point stands, if you want to bark the loudest about colonialism then you have to live by your own creed. This specific topic goes back to comment #387:
The founding of the United States was different from African, Asian, and Latin American colonization. It began as peaceful settlements on land proximate to nomadic tribes and escalated due to violence on both sides into a conquest or purchase of the entire territory. We ended up taking the land just like the Amerindians took the land from each other. And most whites would probably consider what happened to the Amerindians as genocide, but like I said, none of them are eager to unmake the United States in any way. They may bloviate about the poor Indians, but ultimately, they are glad it turned out the way that it did.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Like I said earlier, when white nationalists speak of colonialism it’s usually to say that it wasn’t as bad as claimed, it actually benefited those colonized to a certain extent, or they point out that only white countries are targeted for mass immigration because of their pasts. But I still think most would undo the colonization of Africa and Asia if they could, especially since many of the colonies were a net drain on state revenue.
lol, why do you keep recycling this argument even though its been proven wrong? I said that white nationalists support western colonialism in the past, I never stated that white nationalists think that colonialism should be brought back. This is a misargument that you keep throwing out to muddy the water but you and I both know that it doesnt have any basis.You’re the one that made the claim that white nationalists support colonialism. You still haven’t found me one white nationalist that thinks colonialism should be brought back.
The truth is, you don’t speak for all white nationalists and you can’t prove that you do in spite of your proclamations to the contrary.
yawn...like I said:
For the umpteenth time, pointing out silver linings is not justification for something. And what happened in the U.S. and Canada was different from other European ventures in Africa, Latin America, and Asia.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
most white advocates ive encountered make endless rationalizations for colonization instead of arguing against it and just admitting it was wrong, including you. There are maybe like 0.05% of white advocates who will admit that european colonization was morally wrong, the rest will make flimsy apologetic arguments for it or will even be proud of it.
like you were saying nonchalantly, the native americans got displaced off their lands which you seem to be ok with and now the same is happening with whites by recent mass-immigration so whats the problem? Why do you condone the displacement of the native americans by european settlers but then get mad when white americans are displaced off their lands via mass-immigration? Its all the same dude.I never said that I thought the Native Americans should be happy about what happened to them or should not have resisted. Ultimately, it goes back the “all that matters is power” principle. But that principle doesn’t mean we need to go about colonizing people or enslaving them in the future. White nationalism is anti-white supremacy, anti-imperialism. In fact, white nationalism is just ethnonationalism for European caucasoid ethnic groups.
Excellent point, the same logic applies to all of the immigrants (legal and otherwise) in western countries. This land formerly belonged to whites and now much of it belongs to non-white immigrants. So why are you mad about all of this? If its ok for the native americans to be dispossessed of their lands (regardless of the means), then why does it make you so mad when whites are gradually displaced from their lands? Its the same principle
wow this is rich, you're ridiculous. its amazing how bad you are at trying to reframe the debate. LMAOI wasn’t trying to disprove what you said. I just wanted to point out that you are siding with the colonizers in this instance. By arguing against white nationalists, it’s like you’re arguing on behalf of the European colonizers and against the people they colonized.
so…you can’t disprove what I said lol. You wanted to make a pithy argument:
its only cringe af to you because its true. you wanted to talk trash and it ended up backfiring on you lmaoReplies: @FvSThat saying is cringe af.
and you ended up getting hoisted by your own petard. nice
I guess thats because you figured that your original claim sans the religion factor wasn’t powerful enough to stand on its own. Your supposition that all other races would have done the same is patently unprovable and unscientific according to HBD theory. Its nothing more than an argument underpinned by racial blank slateism.
I included religion because it’s another factor I thought of later. Do you deny that the non-racial factor of Christianity played a huge role? No HBD adherent thinks everything is genetics. I’m more of a 60% genetics, 40% non-genetics kind of guy. I still contend that the Aztecs, Imperial Japanese, Bantus, Mongolians, etc. tried to take as much land as they possibly could. Add the same degree of advantages, ships, and level of military technology that the Western Europeans had over the people they encountered, and I see no reason to think that any of these groups would have just said, “Nah, I think that’s enough. We’ll go ahead and stop now.” It’s possible that Western Europeans have/had a unique drive to conquer the entire world because of their genetics, but you have not proven this. There are too many other factors at play.
China also needed to trade with the region as well (which was still relatively far away from china itself), therefore china would have had the same incentive to set up a colony in the area but it didnt bother.
No. Kotte was like a pitstop for the Portuguese who were looking to send their ships all the way to China and beyond for long-term trade. They didn’t have the same needs and Portugal’s location is vital. Period.
Oh I do understand what china is doing in africa, and its not european style colonization which even you admit. My original point was that you continue to try to deliberately conflate european colonization with china’s actions in africa when in actuality the two things are quite different. You yourself admit this.
I always did, you clown. Just because China is doing things differently doesn’t mean it isn’t colonization though. Again, what China is doing fits into this definition.
▶︎ to extend the influence of the “mother country”
▶︎ to provide a source of raw materials for the “mother country”
▶︎ to provide a market for manufactured products of the “mother country”
▶︎ to provide a place for people to live, especially if the “mother country” is overcrowded
I can definitely foresee africans selling/longterm-leasing some vital areas to the chinese, but I don’t foresee them selling their countries away though.
We’ll see.
sure bro
Yep.
the japanese were well aware of what was going on in the world at that time. what youre stating is essentially historically incorrect:
The Japanese were never under real threat of being colonized, as in, under imminent invasion.
The japanese were well aware of the fact that east asia was having to deal with a hostile, outside racial aggressor, but this didn’t cause the japanese to close ranks with the chinese because of it; in fact just the opposite happened:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/First_Sino-Japanese_War
As I said before, you overestimate how much people value their overarching race as opposed to their ethnicity. In the real world other factors are equally if not more important than just “muh race”.
See above. And if an ethnicity sides against other ethnicities of their own race with an outside race threatening, it usually ends badly for that ethnicity. So it may happen, but it’s foolish. Just look at what happened to the Amerindians.
The fact that you are suggesting that supranational alliances are formed based on race is laughable. In the real world, people that are dealing with the real world consider many other more important factors than just race.
Race is the most important factor. It’s why the U.S. and Liberia look the way they do despite having near identical constitutions. It’s why Spain and Honduras look the way they do despite both being Catholic countries.
lol I know a lot of asian americans. what youre saying isnt quite true.
https://www.amren.com/news/2010/04/the_rise_of_asi/
https://www.amren.com/news/2010/04/asian_conscious/
In the real world people generally value ethnicity over race, period.
Nope, and you ignored my points essentially. Like I said, the Antifa example is an outlier because of how brainwashed a significant portion of whites have become. The viking example fails because there was no outside racial threat. Look at any multi-racial society and you will see that race > ethnicity. It should be obvious to you. Even look at China and Japan. They are much more comfortable with mongoloid immigrants of differing ethnicities then they are with immigrants of different races. The same goes for pretty much every national racial majorities around the world.
No, who the aggressor is is somewhat important but its not a vital distinction.
Yes, it is. The murder of this Queen (who was trying to get Vietnam to submit to Chinese overlordship) does not justify the aggressive Chinese colonial acts over the centuries.
I just said you almost seem to be advocating it, I never claimed that you ever actually stated that.
You thought wrong.
yup so you finally agree with my original point even though you were initially trying to argue it was wrong, and then you ignored it, and only now you agree to it although you’re laughably trying to reframe it.
You still haven’t refuted that it matters who the aggressor is. It is vitally important. If you’re the aggressor in this hypothetical long-term “complicated relationship,” it doesn’t make what you’re doing to them somehow better than if you were doing it to a complete stranger. That’s ridiculous.
oh but it is relevant because the original thrust behind your point was wrong. You wanted to suggest that the west gave up its colonies out of goodwill but historically speaking this is incorrect, ergo you were wrong.
No, it isn’t. The whole point was that the beliefs could change and did. You still haven’t refuted this.
watching you try to do damage control is hilarious, also its really obvious too. You literally thought there was only one definition of white supremacy and it turns out you were wrong.
The first tenet listed by the ADL was whites should have dominance over people of other backgrounds, especially where they may co-exist. That is the essential component of white supremacy. Every quality source has that included. Just look at the random dictionary sites you had to scour the web for, lmao.
but we weren’t talking about most whites, we were talking about white nationalists. My original point stands, if you want to bark the loudest about colonialism then you have to live by your own creed.
And we do. Only white nationalists are consistent on this issue. What exactly do you expect of white nationalists? That we should give up our land to the Amerindian remnants? That we advocate all white Americans pack up and go back to Europe? That ship has sailed. What’s done is done. What people is going to eradicate its foundational history as something completely immoral just because it was based in bloodshed? Do you realize how many countries were founded on bloodshed? Does that mean they don’t get to have immigration policies? And you still haven’t been able to understand the concept of silver linings.
lol, why do you keep recycling this argument even though its been proven wrong? I said that white nationalists support western colonialism in the past, I never stated that white nationalists think that colonialism should be brought back. This is a misargument that you keep throwing out to muddy the water but you and I both know that it doesnt have any basis.
So you admit you were wrong to call modern white nationalists hypocrites for calling out modern Jewish supremacism. Finally.
like you were saying nonchalantly, the native americans got displaced off their lands which you seem to be ok with and now the same is happening with whites by recent mass-immigration so whats the problem? Why do you condone the displacement of the native americans by european settlers but then get mad when white americans are displaced off their lands via mass-immigration? Its all the same dude.
Lmao, you can’t be this retarded.
wow this is rich, you’re ridiculous. its amazing how bad you are at trying to reframe the debate. LMAO
Embarassing cope from a hypocrite.
its only cringe af to you because its true. you wanted to talk trash and it ended up backfiring on you lmao
No, it’s just a cringe saying. Effeminate.
So when are you moving? Or are you getting paid to stay in this country and shill for the CCP?
Just watch videos from China of their lackadaisical approach to workplace safety, their driving habits, or their escalator/elevator maintenance standards, and one will begin to see why human error is a very real possibility in this situation. China may use fancy infrastructure projects to maintain a facade of modernity, but they’re not all the way there yet.

I was clarifying my own position. Re-read everything I wrote. Why is it that you have such bad reading comprehension?
I’m the one that said that “all races would would have done the same in our position.” You never made any claim like that, so who else would I have thought that your comment was directed towards, lol…
This just supports my point, the word race is very hazy sometimes and has different applications and meanings. In many cases race can be interchangeable with ethnicity, as you alluded to in your example about different types of jews. You could just as easily say that these different "races" of jews are actually sub-ethnicities of a broader overarching ethnicity too.
Ashkenazi, Sephardic and Mizrahi Jews are racially distinct from other caucasoid groups. That is not to say they are their own race as in caucasoid, mongoloid, negroid, etc. At most, they are a sub-race of a sub-race. But when I speak of Jewish racial consciousness, I’m referring to the genetic aspect of what it means to be a Jew.
Like I said, I understood your analogy but its pretty confusing in terms of race/ethnicity. You could been consistent and talked about everything on a racial level but instead chose to talk about races and ethnicities while using the same analogy.No, I wasn’t mixing analogies. You just misunderstood. I only debated about the Mings because I figured they were one of the Mongolian or Japanese Imperialist types. But it turns out I was wrong there.
You were mixing your analogies in this situation. On one hand you were talking about races in a broad sense and whites being ethnically cleansed from their homelands but then you turned around and started listing various ethnicities instead of being consistent and referring to them on a racial level. I understand your analogy but its pretty confusing in terms of race/ethnicity. You can’t really accuse me of trying to steer the debate when you weren’t always precise about your usage of race as well. The argument about the ming dynasty that I was advocating seemed pretty consistent with our loose usage of race at the time. In fact you were happy to debate and didn’t say anything about the loose definition of race for quite a few comments until you clarified it in comment #271.
not necessarily. Again, you're trying to pass of a presumptive statement as objective fact. If the mings had wanted the same things as the spanish then they could have just traded for it instead, this is of course assuming that they had wanted the same things as the spanish to begin with; which is yet another one of your baseless conjectures that you try to pass off as fact.I’m saying that because that is what the Spanish wanted. So if the Mings had wanted the same things as the Spanish, they would have had to use similar methods.
you’re making a large assumption here though. Who said that they would have wanted control over production? What supports your assumption? You’re just trying to move goalposts here.
LOL. This is what you originally wrote:Yes, it did. I specifically referred to white nationalists only. White nationalists are not racial supremacists, so there is no contradiction. The actions of past white supremacists have nothing to do with modern white nationalists fighting against modern Jewish supremacism. Why is it that you have such bad reading comprehension?
You were claiming that I was stating that whites are hypocritical for criticizing jewish supremacy taking place in the present when I was actually stating that white nationalists are the ones who are hypocritical. Your rambling reponse didn’t address this at all.
In your original statement (comment #382) you claimed that I said that modern whites are collectively guilty for being racial supremacists in the past and so are hypocritical for criticizing jewish supremacy taking place in the present. You were trying to claim that I said that modern whites (not white nationalists) are being hypocritical about this, you didn't say anything about white nationalists until the last line, therefore its normal for me to assume that you were originally talking about modern whites to begin with and not white nationalists. Perhaps you miswrote something, but this is on you and not on me. Why do you have such bad reading comprehension?You literally said that modern whites are collectively guilty for being racial supremacists in the past and so are hypocritical for criticizing Jewish supremacy taking place in the present. So white nationalists should just shut up about it and accept their fate.
Why do white nationalists always criticize jews by claiming that jews are racial supremacists that seek world domination? This is the pot calling the kettle black; whites literally thought and acted this way for over five centuries, the only race that actually desired to dominate the entire world and succeeded in doing so was whites. Why do white nationalists have such an appalling lack of self awareness?
so you can't find where I made that kind of argument then, that's why you have to keep dodging my question.Replies: @FvSAre you retarded? If you don’t think we deserve our fate, then stfu the next time a white nationalist calls out Jewish supremacism.
So…you can’t find where I made this kind of argument then? Its telling because if I did make this argument in this thread then it would be easy to find, but instead you can only resort to trying to stretch an argument that is based entirely on your assumption.
I was clarifying my own position. Re-read everything I wrote. Why is it that you have such bad reading comprehension?
I swear you’re just trolling at this point.
This just supports my point, the word race is very hazy sometimes and has different applications and meanings. In many cases race can be interchangeable with ethnicity, as you alluded to in your example about different types of jews. You could just as easily say that these different “races” of jews are actually sub-ethnicities of a broader overarching ethnicity too.
No, you couldn’t. Like said, at most they’re a sub-race of a sub-race. Probably even a sub-race of that. I was obviously talking about the primary races: caucasoids, mongoloids, negroids, americoids, etc. Race and ethnicity are not interchangeable. It makes no sense to speak of the French race, Indian race, Japanese race, etc. even though ethnic groups do tend to cluster genetically in their own distinctive areas relative to other groups
Like I said, I understood your analogy but its pretty confusing in terms of race/ethnicity. You could been consistent and talked about everything on a racial level but instead chose to talk about races and ethnicities while using the same analogy.
Like I said, the only reason I debated about the Mings was because I figured they were worse than how you were describing them.
In your original statement (comment #382) you claimed that I said that modern whites are collectively guilty for being racial supremacists in the past and so are hypocritical for criticizing jewish supremacy taking place in the present. You were trying to claim that I said that modern whites (not white nationalists) are being hypocritical about this, you didn’t say anything about white nationalists until the last line, therefore its normal for me to assume that you were originally talking about modern whites to begin with and not white nationalists. Perhaps you miswrote something, but this is on you and not on me. Why do you have such bad reading comprehension?
That was just a typo, and I clarified in my later posts. But you still haven’t even addressed the main argument I made. Quit being a coward and just admit you were wrong because past white supremacism has nothing to do with modern white nationalism.
so you can’t find where I made that kind of argument then, that’s why you have to keep dodging my question.
See above in my other post. But your actions speak louder than words, colonizer.
Actually almost all traits are universal to all the races. This goes for intelligence, strength, creativity etc etc. What differs is the degree in which these attributes are evident. Not only that but there are probably also different racial psychologies and perogatives. You claimed the following:
Some things are universal to all races. If the Mongolians, Aztecs, or Bantus had the same kind of military technology, ships, and religion as the Western Europeans, you would see the same kind of expansion as Western Europeans engaged in. The existence of just one ethnic group belonging to each of the major races that acts in the same way as the European colonials powers did proves my original statement.
However you can't actually back up this claim. In order for this claim to be true then this would mean that all the other races would have to demonstrate at least equal levels of the drive to conquer and dominate compared with whites, however there is no way to precisely prove this. While different ethnic representatives of each race may have demonstrated a marked desire to conquer and dominate, you do not know if it would have been a sufficiently strong desire to dominate and conquer the entire world like whites did. This is the flaw in your logic, you are making the presumption that each race would have an equally strong drive to want to dominate and conquer but this can't actually be proven. We don't apply this notion of equality to other qualities when discussing race so why would the drive to dominate and conquer (or whatever constellation of traits actually underpins these qualities) be any different? You don't know if all the other races would have done the same because you can't precisely quantify the intensity of each race's desire to conquer and dominate. Some races might have tried to conquer the entire world if they could, others might just stop at their continent and call it a day. You actually can't prove that each race would want to conquer and dominate the entire world.
All the other races would have done the same in our place, they just weren’t ever strong enough to even come close to accomplishing it.
so your supposition that all other races would have done the same in our place now includes religion too? Funny because that wasn't implied to be part of your original claim:
If the Mongolians, Aztecs, or Bantus had the same kind of military technology, ships, and religion as the Western Europeans, you would see the same kind of expansion as Western Europeans engaged in
you were originally implying that it all came down to a matter of strength and technological ability, funny how now you have to adjust your claim to include religion as well. I guess thats because you figured that your original claim sans the religion factor wasn't powerful enough to stand on its own. Your supposition that all other races would have done the same is patently unprovable and unscientific according to HBD theory. Its nothing more than an argument underpinned by racial blank slateism.
All the other races would have done the same in our place, they just weren’t ever strong enough to even come close to accomplishing it.
Why leave out the rest of what I said?Portugal was looking for a trading outposts to trade with the entire region, including with China. Sri Lanka is closer to China than to Portugal, and it’s a very long distance from Portugal to China.
The chinese interest in the malacca sultanate and the kotte also originated in trade as well.
China also needed to trade with the region as well (which was still relatively far away from china itself), therefore china would have had the same incentive to set up a colony in the area but it didnt bother. Keep in mind that the portuguese had a clear history of setting up overseas colonies, the chinese don't. The portuguese actions in kotte and malacca fits their MO with regards to their actions in the rest of the world. Your argument about the portugese having significantly different objectives than the chinese and this explaining why they colonized the kotte kingdom and the malacca sultanate doesn't really hold up. Whats more likely is that HBD/cultural differences caused the portuguese to colonize whereas the chinese took a more hands off approach.
BTW did you ever bother looking at a map to see how far away the malacca sultanate and the kotte kingdom were from china? Its a pretty big distance, so your argument regarding the portuguese needing to trade in the region while being very far from home could similarly apply to the chinese as well.
Oh I do understand what china is doing in africa, and its not european style colonization which even you admit. My original point was that you continue to try to deliberately conflate european colonization with china's actions in africa when in actuality the two things are quite different. You yourself admit this. Therefore if the two things are qualitatively different then why do you continue to talk as if they're the same?
It’s you that doesn’t understand what China is doing in Africa. It could be described as economic colonialism. It’s not politically oppressive like European colonialism was, but Africans will probably end up selling away their countries in the end.
this is more supposition from you, you guess that africans will probably end up selling away their countries but you don't really have a good reason to support this. You're just stating it because it fits your own political agenda lol. I can definitely foresee africans selling/longterm-leasing some vital areas to the chinese, but I don't foresee them selling their countries away though.
It’s you that doesn’t understand what China is doing in Africa. It could be described as economic colonialism. It’s not politically oppressive like European colonialism was, but Africans will probably end up selling away their countries in the end.
sure bro
Yes, but that doesn’t mean I was trying to negate the rest of European colonialism. I was just bringing attention to this specific area of history and was wondering if it could be classified in the same way as the other instances of European colonialism.
the japanese were well aware of what was going on in the world at that time. what youre stating is essentially historically incorrect:Because the European powers weren’t trying to colonize Japan as well as China. If they had been, Chinese vs. Japanese ethnic rivalries would have taken a backseat to the outside racial aggressor.
You are just claiming this. Can you actually prove it? As a counter-example to your point, if this was true then why did japan collaborate with european powers to colonize china instead of allying with other asian countries? The point you are trying to argue is a vast oversimplification, real politik is based on much more than just “muh race”
The japanese were well aware of the fact that east asia was having to deal with a hostile, outside racial aggressor, but this didn't cause the japanese to close ranks with the chinese because of it; in fact just the opposite happened:
Second, outside pressure from foreigners convinced the Japanese that they needed to modernize quickly. Japan watched China get pummeled and humiliated by the British for trying to prevent the Brits from selling opium. Then, in 1853, United States commodore Matthew Perry sailed into Tokyo Bay with four war ships and massive guns. He demanded that Japan open itself up for international trade. The Japanese had no weapons to match the American firepower, so they had to agree with Perry's demand.
Actually supranational alliances form for many reasons, among those reasons proximity is probably the most important one. Your problem is that you're misattributing the role of proximity to race. That being said, proximity is not the only thing that supranational alliances are based on, they also tend to be based on common cultural factors as well (even including religion). The fact that you are suggesting that supranational alliances are formed based on race is laughable. In the real world, people that are dealing with the real world consider many other more important factors than just race.
Also, supranational alliances tend to form along racial lines. European caucasoids, MENA caucasoids, mongoloids, negroids, etc. all have more in common with each other than outside groups. An example would be Asians in the United States. Pan-Asian identity supersedes old ethnic groups here. And in China and even in Japan, they are more comfortable having other Asian ethnic groups as immigrants than non-Asians.
lol I know a lot of asian americans. what youre saying isnt quite true. I would say that most asian americans are more adamant about their ethnic identity as opposed to their overarching racial identity. To say that a pan-asian identity supercedes ethnic identity is wrong, its more accurate to say that a pan-asian identity either co-exists with ethnic identity or takes second fiddle to it. This is even assuming that a given asian-american chooses to associate themselves with a cultural identity at all, lots of asian-americans are happy to integrate with mixed groups and don't place particular importance upon their ethnicity OR their race. Ultimately though this is a moot point because all of this is congruent with what ive already said:
An example would be Asians in the United States. Pan-Asian identity supersedes old ethnic groups here. And in China and even in Japan, they are more comfortable having other Asian ethnic groups as immigrants than non-Asians.
there is such thing as pan-racial consciousness but its nowhere near as strong and ubiquitous as youre trying to make it sound like it is.
If people actually valued the concept of an overarching race over their ethnicity then they wouldn’t fight each other in the first place. Proximity is a factor of course, but it doesn’t entirely disprove my original argument. Your point about there being a strong and consistent pan-racial consciousness for each race is just wrong. In my experience the majority of people do not think this way. Your mistake is that you’re trying to argue that pan-racial consciousness is much stronger than it actually is, the sentiment exists but its not as strong or as ubiquitous as you’re acting like it is.
yeah this is ridiculous. Although I wouldnt be suprised that a pan-racial consciousness advocate (IE a white nationalist) would write something like this. In the real world people generally value ethnicity over race, period. Although you claim that "evolutionarily speaking" it is worse to kill regional (but racially related) tribes, in the real world people don't care about this. In the real world people care about actual concrete political objectives, not some quasi-philosophical, pop-science talking points. If your reasoning can't hold up in the real world with real people then it really doesn't amount to much does it?
It is worse, especially from an evolutionary viewpoint. The races are literally different sub-species of human. Just like it’s worse to kill a member of your own family, it’s worse to kill a member of your own race. And from a cultural point of view, any destruction of a racially similar but ethnically different group’s culture is going to seem more self-destructive due to the cultural similarities that are likely to exist. For example, Chinese and Vietnamese culture had more common with each other than Chinese and Somalian.
No, who the aggressor is is somewhat important but its not a vital distinction. History is very very complicated, oftentimes the true genesis of a conflict becomes obscured in the mists of history. Fortunately the history behind china's colonization of vietnam is pretty clear. I'll give you a brief rundown of the history of china's colonization of vietnam:You left out the key context of who the aggressor is which is a vital distinction, and I went into some potential scenarios explaining further. I notice you didn’t even try to refute them. China’s colonization of Vietnam was no better than if China had tried to colonize Malacca since China was the aggressor against Vietnam.
Anyways, I would absolutely argue that it is worse to kill people that you have never met and have no negative history with than it is to kill some people that you have a negative/stressful history with.
So basically the first chinese colonization of vietnam began due to the nanyue (vietnam) nobility executing the queen dowager of nanyue (who was chinese herself) which in turn provoked a punitive response from the chinese han dynasty. This punitive response is what we now know as the first chinese domination of vietnam:
At the Nanyue court in 113 BC, the Queen Dowager of Nanyue suggested incorporating Nanyue as a kingdom under the suzerainty of the Han empire, thus formally integrating the kingdom on the same terms as the other kingdoms of the Han empire.[6] She was Chinese herself and was married to Zhao Yingqi.[6] However, many Nanyue ministers opposed this suggestion.[6] Lü Jia was the primary Nanyue official to oppose the idea and he led the opposition against the Queen Dowager.[5] In 112 BC, the opposition retaliated violently and executed the Queen Dowager, a provocation that led to the mobilization of a large Han naval force into Nanyue.[5]
I didnt say you did, below is what I wrote:
I don’t want to destroy Jewish culture.
I just said you almost seem to be advocating it, I never claimed that you ever actually stated that.
I didn’t say you did want to destroy the jews. I wrote destroy all jewish culture , which is something you almost seem to be advocating since you continually complain about jewish culture. That being said, you didn’t answer my question:
yup so you finally agree with my original point even though you were initially trying to argue it was wrong, and then you ignored it, and only now you agree to it although you're laughably trying to reframe it.The latter, since Jewish culture (specifically Jewish supremacy) is working to destroy my people. They are the aggressors in this case. The “colonizers.”
As a white nationalist what is morally worse, destroying all jewish culture or destroying the culture of some ethnicity that you have never met?
oh but it is relevant because the original thrust behind your point was wrong. You wanted to suggest that the west gave up its colonies out of goodwill but historically speaking this is incorrect, ergo you were wrong.Why they gave them up is irrelevant because we have the power to bring them back. Since we have chosen not to, our beliefs have changed.
yet the truth was that external factors were the primary factor in forcing the west to give up their colonies, it wasnt done as a voluntary act of goodwill like you were trying to suggest. As we both know, my point was always about why the west gave up its colonies, not about the fact that the west gave up its colonies itself. Therefore your original point was wrong.
why ignore what is factually true? I have posted both the conversation and the comment number. You were mistaken in your original allegation and this is proven by what you wrote. The only one dodging here is youDodging the question again I see. Coward.
Like I said, why not just admit that you were incorrect? You tried to accuse me of something which wasn’t chronologically supported within our conversation (comment #367). Instead of admitting that you were mistaken you’ve just doubled down and tried to throw out a bunch of non-related arguments.
watching you try to do damage control is hilarious, also its really obvious too. You literally thought there was only one definition of white supremacy and it turns out you were wrong.
Haha, you really reached for those “dictionary” definitions. And did you even read the first tenet of the ADL definition. Anyone actually familiar with the topic should have understood the distinction between white supremacy and white nationalism.
I have always maintained that there could be multiple definitions of white supremacy, this is why I was the first one to ask for a clarification in comment #316. The fact that one of the ADL definitions of white supremacy supports your own definition of white supremacy isn't somehow proving me wrong, in fact its just the opposite, it proves me right.
And did you even read the first tenet of the ADL definition. Anyone actually familiar with the topic should have understood the distinction between white supremacy and white nationalism.
but we weren't talking about most whites, we were talking about white nationalists. My original point stands, if you want to bark the loudest about colonialism then you have to live by your own creed. This specific topic goes back to comment #387:
The founding of the United States was different from African, Asian, and Latin American colonization. It began as peaceful settlements on land proximate to nomadic tribes and escalated due to violence on both sides into a conquest or purchase of the entire territory. We ended up taking the land just like the Amerindians took the land from each other. And most whites would probably consider what happened to the Amerindians as genocide, but like I said, none of them are eager to unmake the United States in any way. They may bloviate about the poor Indians, but ultimately, they are glad it turned out the way that it did.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Like I said earlier, when white nationalists speak of colonialism it’s usually to say that it wasn’t as bad as claimed, it actually benefited those colonized to a certain extent, or they point out that only white countries are targeted for mass immigration because of their pasts. But I still think most would undo the colonization of Africa and Asia if they could, especially since many of the colonies were a net drain on state revenue.
lol, why do you keep recycling this argument even though its been proven wrong? I said that white nationalists support western colonialism in the past, I never stated that white nationalists think that colonialism should be brought back. This is a misargument that you keep throwing out to muddy the water but you and I both know that it doesnt have any basis.You’re the one that made the claim that white nationalists support colonialism. You still haven’t found me one white nationalist that thinks colonialism should be brought back.
The truth is, you don’t speak for all white nationalists and you can’t prove that you do in spite of your proclamations to the contrary.
yawn...like I said:
For the umpteenth time, pointing out silver linings is not justification for something. And what happened in the U.S. and Canada was different from other European ventures in Africa, Latin America, and Asia.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
most white advocates ive encountered make endless rationalizations for colonization instead of arguing against it and just admitting it was wrong, including you. There are maybe like 0.05% of white advocates who will admit that european colonization was morally wrong, the rest will make flimsy apologetic arguments for it or will even be proud of it.
like you were saying nonchalantly, the native americans got displaced off their lands which you seem to be ok with and now the same is happening with whites by recent mass-immigration so whats the problem? Why do you condone the displacement of the native americans by european settlers but then get mad when white americans are displaced off their lands via mass-immigration? Its all the same dude.I never said that I thought the Native Americans should be happy about what happened to them or should not have resisted. Ultimately, it goes back the “all that matters is power” principle. But that principle doesn’t mean we need to go about colonizing people or enslaving them in the future. White nationalism is anti-white supremacy, anti-imperialism. In fact, white nationalism is just ethnonationalism for European caucasoid ethnic groups.
Excellent point, the same logic applies to all of the immigrants (legal and otherwise) in western countries. This land formerly belonged to whites and now much of it belongs to non-white immigrants. So why are you mad about all of this? If its ok for the native americans to be dispossessed of their lands (regardless of the means), then why does it make you so mad when whites are gradually displaced from their lands? Its the same principle
wow this is rich, you're ridiculous. its amazing how bad you are at trying to reframe the debate. LMAOI wasn’t trying to disprove what you said. I just wanted to point out that you are siding with the colonizers in this instance. By arguing against white nationalists, it’s like you’re arguing on behalf of the European colonizers and against the people they colonized.
so…you can’t disprove what I said lol. You wanted to make a pithy argument:
its only cringe af to you because its true. you wanted to talk trash and it ended up backfiring on you lmaoReplies: @FvSThat saying is cringe af.
and you ended up getting hoisted by your own petard. nice
and you still missed the point LOL. you thought I was unironically using rationalwiki and didn't realize I was making a point by using rationalwiki. It totally went over your headRationalwiki and wikipedia can’t be compared.
yeah that was the point. My reason for providing a thorough article from rationalwiki was to show you that just because something is thorough doesn’t mean that its necessarily correct. Hence why I used an obviously biased and non-trustworthy source like rationalwiki. You missed the point, thats why you thought I was unironically using a source like rationalwiki
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Lmao, rationalwiki… Jesus dude, have some self-awareness.
whats really damning is the fact that I never claimed that white advocates/white nationalists want to bring back colonialism. See below:It’s the prevailing viewpoint. The fact that you can’t find one white advocate that says otherwise is pretty damning.
says who? you? you dont speak for the entire alt-right
I only claimed that I think if the conditions were right then alt-righters would condone the return of colonialism. That's a significantly different statement than outright claiming that white advocates/white nationalists want to bring back colonialism. That being said, im not surprised that you have problems understanding this kind of nuanced statement, you did afterall spend two weeks being confused over a simple comparative statement back in comment #383. Once again:
I think that if the conditions were right then alt-righters (who I was referring to in the original comment) would condone the return of colonialism.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
this is your supposition, but like any political group there will be a lot of diversity in terms of political opinions. I would say that there are a decent amount of white nationalists who think that colonialism was justified, not the majority, but definitely a decent number in my experience. Furthermore I assume that you are a strong believer in the counter-currents brand of white nationalism, this is my impression given what you’ve said so far and the fact that you linked one of their articles earlier, however that being said, counter currents does not speak for all white nationalists (nobody does), counter-currents only speaks for its own brand of white nationalism. I think you basically assume that just because the people in your own white nationalist bubble don’t think colonialism was justified then this means that all white nationalists must feel this way, but like I said, there is a lot of diversity in any political group and white nationalism is no exception, its folly to speak with such certainty of all white nationalists feeling one way or another on a given topic.
you asked for the conditions under which white nationalists would go back to supporting colonialism and I provided a realistic scenario. whether you agree with it or not is a different issue, but I provided you what you asked for. You don't know the future and neither do I. Once again:
Quit drinking the kool-aid. White nationalism is just ethnonationalism for white ethnic groups, nothing more. Do the Japanese need to be made a minority in Japan because they might invade China again? What about the Turks and the Ottoman Empire? What about the Mongolians? Do they have a right to determine immigration policy in their own country? White nationalists are some of the biggest anti-imperialists around. Your fears are baseless, and you know it. Otherwise, you would provide some evidence showing white nationalists arguing for a return of genocide, colonialism, slavery, etc.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Its pretty simple, youre assuming that colonialism is passe because it is no longer considered acceptable under the current ideological world order where unlimited self expression is impossible for the west because it has a boot on its neck; however if the west were to actually and not just symbolically gain control of its own countries again then we don’t really know what the impact on culture would be. I think its safe to assume though that we would see an inversion of many of the current political trends such as political correctness, multiculturalism, promotion of transgenderism, etc etc. It stands to reason that at some point things like women’s rights and even concepts like racial equality might eventually get reversed or questioned.
The point being, if white nationalists were to ever come to power then the overton window for whats considered acceptable would shift sharply to the right; at some point its not unfeasible that western nations (especially under the control of hardliner WN elements) might just decided to colonize weaker countries to relieve over-population in western nations or perhaps they might resort to it simply to gather more resources and be in a stronger position vis a vis other western nations. I wouldn’t be surprised if some of the more ambitious WN nations might use biological warfare in order to covertly kill off the populations of some third world nations and then use some phony humanitarian pretext to move in and take over the resources and living space.
The point is, you don’t really understand what white nationalism (or any political movement) can truly be capable of. You continue to act as if you understand how every white nationalist thinks and feels, but this is an illusion. You don’t actually know this at all, you only think you do. Secondly, even if you did know how every white nationalist thinks and feels, you wouldn’t know how they would feel in a different time with different circumstances. Everything you say regarding what you think white nationalists would think and do is basically conjecture, you have no way of proving it. What I just wrote is also conjecture but unlike you I make no pretenses about it and freely admit that its conjecture. You on the other hand spew out conjecture but like to package it as fact. Finally keep in mind that if people change, they can also change back.
I provided you an example of how western colonization promoted globalization and then you sidestepped the point by changing the topic to asian immigration. See below:
Whether they are third world or not is irrelevant. It’s whether they were colonized that matters. That was your original point. The fact remains that China, Korea, and Japan were never colonized. Yet somehow, there are millions of them in the West. That they weren’t colonized was no hindrance to them being here.
(comment #400)There are a lot Chinese, Koreans, Thais, Japanese, in the West and they were never colonized. Christianity has exacerbated things, I agree.
Literally billions of third worlders are familiar with western culture and western languages due to the legacy of colonialism. That’s a lot of people, there is no way to deny this. The fact that they are familiar with western culture and western languages makes it easier for them to integrate into western society period. There are potentially billions of third worlders who want to immigrate to western countries due to their shared languages and cultures as a result of colonialism. Not only that but you need to consider the religious aspect as well. Due to colonialism, christianity was spread throughout the entire world, consequently these religious ties are used to justify multiculturalism and mass immigration.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Anyways, had the west never had colonial/imperialistic ambitions for east asia to begin with then these parts of the world would probably still be self isolated. The capability for these parts of the world to subsequently supply millions of immigrants to the west is directly connected to the west historically forcing them to open up and making them interact with the rest of the world. Like I originally said:(comment #223)
well the west probably should have left the entire world alone yet it forced the entire world to globalize and interconnect at literal gunpoint for over five centuries. Modern globalization is based upon the foundation created by european colonization of the entire world. You should blame your ancestors for the current state of affairs. That being said, ironically instead of blaming your ancestors, people like you continue to exonerate and even celebrate them for their colonial adventures.
Its amazing that you still insist that modern globalization has nothing to do with the framework set up by over five centuries of western meddling with the rest of the world. You demonstrate your ignorance of history by claiming this. Modern globalization would not exist in its current form were it not for the past actions of the west.
I never denied that technology would have brought the world much closer together in the absence of globalism, but technology does not automatically mean that mass immigration would happen. It simply provides the means through which mass immigration would be enabled. Currently many of the governments on earth have the technological capabilities to turn the world into a nuclear wasteland, but just because we have that ability doesn't mean that it will automatically happen. What causes a nuclear war is not capability alone but rather capability and politics. Likewise, what causes mass immigration is not technology alone but rather technology and politics/geo-political relationships/institutions etc. Had western colonialism never happened then the world would be completely different. Its like I previously wrote:
Strawman. I never said it had nothing to do with it, I just said that it wasn’t dependent on it. I see colonialism as having exacerbated globalism. You still can’t refute that technology would have brought the world much closer together anyway. Mass migrations happened in the past even before colonialism.
you have no idea how, why and what form globalization would have taken in a hypothetical reality where technology brings together the world but western colonialism didn't happen. its nonsensical for you to act as if mass-immigration would have definitely happened, you really don't know at all.This is conjecture, you don’t know what would have happened had colonialism never happened. The world would look entirely different had colonialism never happened. Keep in mind that the US, canada and a bunch of countries wouldn’t even exist anymore if colonialism had never happened. Just this factor alone means that mass immigration would be significantly curtailed since some of the countries that we now know wouldn’t exist in the first place to receive mass immigration. The entire modern world and even how we think and perceive the world and the people in it is based upon the legacy of colonialism. The point youre trying to make is basically unprovable and rests on so many assumptions (various causal assumptions need to be made to replace the role of colonialism or its legacy) about how an alternative form of globalization would have occurred that you might as well be writing fiction.
I would say globalization and mass immigration have been exacerbated by colonialism, but would likely still exist had it never existed in Europe. Technology would still have connected the world, and Jewish supremacists would still hate whites.
no, provide the specific quote where I wrote this. lets talk about itAbove, in relation to Jews, Amerindians, and immigration.
Why dont you get your story straight? Where have I suggested that white genocide is justified? Please provide where I have stated this, you keep suggesting that I have but you haven’t been able to provide proof for where ive said this in this thread.
post it then, post the exact quote where I wrote this. Don't side step, don't dodge, just post where I stated thisI already told you. Learn to read.
where have I advocated that collective guilt should be assigned to present whites for the actions of past whites? provide evidence where I have said something to this effect in this thread
like I said:
And no, you wouldn’t have brought up the Mongolian conquests if I was a Mongolian nationalist lmao. I doubt anyone on this planet has a problem with Mongolia staying Mongolian. It’s only when it comes to whites wanting the same for their countries that anyone ever objects. But hey, at least you got some good goy points, colonizer.
I cant help that your victimhood complex renders you unable to understand the genesis of context in conversations. The fact that I would have equally brought up the mongolian conquests if you were a mongolian nationalist complaining about jewish supremacy basically destroys your whole "stop oppressing me because im white!" stance. Remember, you had trouble even understanding what a simple comparative statement was (comment #383), in fact you spent about two weeks being confused over this; so its not surprising that you don't understand a simple point like this as well.Replies: @FvS
lol I never did this. This entire conversation began due to a white nationalist (you) complaining about jews being racial supremacists and wanting to dominate the world and then I pointed out the hypocrisy in a white nationalist (who typically condone western domination of the entire world) complaining about jews doing the same thing. Im not singling out whites, im talking about whites because its relevant to the original context of this debate. If you were a mongolian nationalist then I would have brought up the mongolian conquests instead. Its hilarious how your white nationalist fragility makes you think that everyone is trying to single out whites. Yeah…maybe I was just talking about whites because its pertinent to the context of the conversation to begin with??
theres nothing to troll about. Like I said I was clarifying my own position:I swear you’re just trolling at this point.
I was clarifying my own position. Re-read everything I wrote. Why is it that you have such bad reading comprehension?
(comment #385)its genuinely not my fault that you have poor reading comprehension.---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ironically your apples and oranges argument is supporting my original thesis. For various reasons, different ethnicities might or might not have tried to dominate the world if they were in a position to do so. To say that all ethnicities/cultural blocs would have acted in the same way were they in the position of western europeans is a really broad and unprovable statement due to its inherent complexity.
wow...you didn't even understand the meaning of what I was writing LOL. I was referring to the fact that semantically speaking race can be used interchangeably with ethnicity in many cases. I wasn't literally saying that the scientific concept of race and ethnicity are interchangeable.No, you couldn’t. Like said, at most they’re a sub-race of a sub-race. Probably even a sub-race of that. I was obviously talking about the primary races: caucasoids, mongoloids, negroids, americoids, etc. Race and ethnicity are not interchangeable. It makes no sense to speak of the French race, Indian race, Japanese race, etc. even though ethnic groups do tend to cluster genetically in their own distinctive areas relative to other groups
This just supports my point, the word race is very hazy sometimes and has different applications and meanings. In many cases race can be interchangeable with ethnicity, as you alluded to in your example about different types of jews. You could just as easily say that these different “races” of jews are actually sub-ethnicities of a broader overarching ethnicity too.
you were debating the mings because you wanted to prove your point about all other races would have done the same, that's why you spent two weeks (unsuccessfully) trying to prove your pointLike I said, the only reason I debated about the Mings was because I figured they were worse than how you were describing them.
Like I said, I understood your analogy but its pretty confusing in terms of race/ethnicity. You could been consistent and talked about everything on a racial level but instead chose to talk about races and ethnicities while using the same analogy.
I dont recall you explicitly clarifying this and saying that it was a typo. Im not accusing you of lying either, please show where you explicitly clarified that this was a type. I don't recall you saying anything to this effect but I could be wrong
That was just a typo, and I clarified in my later posts.
See above in my other post. But your actions speak louder than words, colonizer.so you can’t find where I made that kind of argument then, that’s why you have to keep dodging my question.Are you retarded? If you don’t think we deserve our fate, then stfu the next time a white nationalist calls out Jewish supremacism.So…you can’t find where I made this kind of argument then? Its telling because if I did make this argument in this thread then it would be easy to find, but instead you can only resort to trying to stretch an argument that is based entirely on your assumption.You criticized white nationalists for speaking out against the Jewish supremacism of today because white supremacism existed in the past, and I guess we haven’t done enough to denounce it in your opinion. If you think we shouldn’t fight back against what’s happening to us, I can only assume you think we deserve our fate.
besides that, can you show me somewhere else in this thread where I made the argument that whites have collective guilt for past transgressions and have to pay for it by accepting mass immigration?
Youre wrong and the reason youre wrong is because the moral weight of regional colonialism vis a vis global colonialism was irrelvant within that context. One could possibly make the argument that regional colonialism is just as bad as global colonialism however...we were never having that conversation to begin with. My point was always that your original retort missed the mark:I disagree. If regional colonialism is just as bad as global colonialism, your precious Chinese don’t look so hot.
the moral weight of regional colonialism vis a vis global colonialism is irrelevant here, the point is that your original retort missed the mark (comment #384>
--------------------------------------------------------------I was always referring to global colonization, it was you who took it out of context (not surprisingly). You tried to use the xinjiang and tibet situation against me and I told you that you can’t use it against me since I always admitted that china practiced regional dominance/colonization.
Just to be absolutely clear on this; if china ever begins invading the world and acts exactly in the same manner as european colonizers did then I will have no problem condemning the chinese. Due to your WN blinkers you are under the impression that im hypocritical and “anti-white” but the truth is that im interested in being fair and non-biased as possible. Colonialism is colonialism, it doesnt matter who does it, its immoral.
Really? You think thats ridiculous? So you're totally redpilled on the jewish question but basically bluepilled on what the CIA is capable of. ok lol... Anyways I have things to back up my assertion:I suspect the truth lies somewhere in the middle, and I don’t trust the CIA or the Chinese government. But I doubt the CIA want Tibet and Xinjiang independent so they could launch terrorist attacks at mainland China from those areas. That’s just ridiculous.
Also its funny how “naive” you sound with regards to the CIA’s objectives regarding tibet.
You're extremely naive if you don't think that the CIA (through NED) is actively trying to destablize xinjiang and use it as a launching pad for destabilization and terrorism against china.
October 2013: ETIM attack at Tiananmen Square in Beijing killed five.
February 2014: A knife attack at a train station in Kunming killed 30.
April 2014: A knife and bomb attack in Urumqi killed three and wounded 79.
May 2014: Two cars crashed into a market in Urumqi and the attackers lobbed explosives, killing 31 people.
September 2014: Suicide bombers and clashes left 50 people dead and 50 injured.
October 2015: A knife attack on a coalmine killed 50.
Like I said, your usage of the great leap forward and the cultural revolution are poor examples of china colonizing tibet, which is why they can't really be considered a classic colonial act. There are much better examples to use of where china has exhibited colonial type behavior against tibet besides these events. Anyways we both know you dont give a rats ass about tibet anyways, your crocodile tears are obvious.The Chinese have been colonizing Tibet for a time. Anything they do in Tibet is a colonizing act, including what they did during the Cultural Revolution.
Never said it did. However, it does mean that what china did couldn’t really be considered a classic colonial act, which was the point all along. You were trying to suggest that china was colonizing tibet by using the great leap forward and the cultural revolution as examples while ignoring the fact that these events affected everyone in china and not just tibetans (comment #353). It was a travesty of course, but it doesn’t support your argument.
yeah that was the point. My reason for providing a thorough article from rationalwiki was to show you that just because something is thorough doesn't mean that its necessarily correct. Hence why I used an obviously biased and non-trustworthy source like rationalwiki. You missed the point, thats why you thought I was unironically using a source like rationalwikiLmao, rationalwiki… Jesus dude, have some self-awareness.
With that being said, this rationalwiki article is pretty thorough, guess that means its right huh. Anyways im sticking to my original stance and remaining agnostic regarding the falun-gong organ trafficking allegation. Whether its true or not is irrelevant to our overarching debate, you just want to discuss it so that you can sidetrack things.
You fell for an obvious disinformation meme that took literally 1-2 minutes of googling to debunk.
I already showed why it wasn’t obvious. The only reason anyone believed it is because of the actions of the Chinese have made it seem credible.
this doesn't disprove my original point. let me repost my original response and bold the important partsI said they would probably want to see its return.
You were trying to insist that just because somebody thinks that something is justified then they would want to see its return
you continuously kept trying to insist that just because somebody thinks that something is justified then they would want to see its return; the fact that you used the word probably has no bearing on the fact that you continually insisted on and tried to push this line of reasoning.
You were trying to insist that just because somebody thinks that something is justified then they would want to see its return
says who? you? you dont speak for the entire alt-rightThen you would be wrong.
I think that if the conditions were right then alt-righters (who I was referring to in the original comment) would condone the return of colonialism.
Its pretty simple, youre assuming that colonialism is passe because it is no longer considered acceptable under the current ideological world order where unlimited self expression is impossible for the west because it has a boot on its neck; however if the west were to actually and not just symbolically gain control of its own countries again then we don't really know what the impact on culture would be. I think its safe to assume though that we would see an inversion of many of the current political trends such as political correctness, multiculturalism, promotion of transgenderism, etc etc. It stands to reason that at some point things like women's rights and even concepts like racial equality might eventually get reversed or questioned.The point being, if white nationalists were to ever come to power then the overton window for whats considered acceptable would shift sharply to the right; at some point its not unfeasible that western nations (especially under the control of hardliner WN elements) might just decided to colonize weaker countries to relieve over-population in western nations or perhaps they might resort to it simply to gather more resources and be in a stronger position vis a vis other western nations. I wouldn't be surprised if some of the more ambitious WN nations might use biological warfare in order to covertly kill off the populations of some third world nations and then use some phony humanitarian pretext to move in and take over the resources and living space.The point is, you don't really understand what white nationalism (or any political movement) can truly be capable of. You continue to act as if you understand how every white nationalist thinks and feels, but this is an illusion. You don't actually know this at all, you only think you do. Secondly, even if you did know how every white nationalist thinks and feels, you wouldn't know how they would feel in a different time with different circumstances. Everything you say regarding what you think white nationalists would think and do is basically conjecture, you have no way of proving it. What I just wrote is also conjecture but unlike you I make no pretenses about it and freely admit that its conjecture. You on the other hand spew out conjecture but like to package it as fact. Finally keep in mind that if people change, they can also change back.
Your conditional statements are cop out. How about you be more specific? What would the conditions have to be for white nationalists to support colonialism again?
lol why are you changing goal posts again? Chinese, koreans, japanese etc are not considered third worlders. You literally just tried to sidestep my original point and start talking about something completely different. Your response about these groups has nothing to do with disproving my original point. The fact that there are lots of chinese, koreans, thais, japanese etc in the west does not disprove my point that literally billions of third worlders are familiar with western culture and western languages due to the legacy of colonialism. That being said, your point about asian immigrants to the west is still related to the west's history of colonialism. Lets just use china for an example:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Western_imperialism_in_Asia#Western_European_and_Russian_intrusions_into_ChinaChina was a very insular nation up until western powers forcibly opened it up in the 19th century, due to the imperialistic/colonial actions of the west. This set into motion a chain of events that would force china to modernize and join the modern world. Had the west never tried to forcibly encroach on china then china would have largely stayed in its own sphere. The mass immigration of chinese people to western countries is a direct result of the west forcing china to join in a global world order. Had this never happened then chinese people would have most likely continued to remain in their own nation. As napoleon himself supposedly said:“China is a sleeping giant. Let her sleep, for when she wakes she will move the world.”You do realize that china, japan and korea were historically extremely insular until the west forcibly opened these countries up right?https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_ShipsAs for japan it had closed itself off to the world until the US forced it to open up through the actions of commodore matthew perry. Due to the opening of japan it lead to subsequent immigration from japan to the US:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_Japanese_AmericansThere are a lot Chinese, Koreans, Thais, Japanese, in the West and they were never colonized. Christianity has exacerbated things, I agree.
Literally billions of third worlders are familiar with western culture and western languages due to the legacy of colonialism. That’s a lot of people, there is no way to deny this. The fact that they are familiar with western culture and western languages makes it easier for them to integrate into western society period. There are potentially billions of third worlders who want to immigrate to western countries due to their shared languages and cultures as a result of colonialism. Not only that but you need to consider the religious aspect as well. Due to colonialism, christianity was spread throughout the entire world, consequently these religious ties are used to justify multiculturalism and mass immigration.
Also the US forcing japan to open up consequently lead to the meiji restoration:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meiji_Restoration
Major Japanese immigration the U.S. only really began in 1853. This was due to the success of Commodore Matthew Perry’s expedition to Japan where he successfully negotiated a treaty opening Japan to American trade. Further developments included the start of direct shipping between San Francisco and Japan in 1855 and established official diplomatic relations in 1860.
As a result of the meiji restoration, japan rapidly modernizing and the geopolitical situation at the time (the west still colonizing the world but currently attempting to colonize china), this forced japan to ironically become a colonizer themselves in order to avoid the same fate. One of japan's colonies was korea, after the end of world war 2 and japan's defeat, south korea fell under the control of the US. Due to the US insisting on having control/influence in north east asia during the cold war it forged strong ties with south korea, these same ties ultimately laid the foundation for subsequent mass immigration from korea to the US after the passing of the 1965 immigration act.https://www.migrationpolicy.org/article/geopolitical-origins-us-immigration-act-1965
The Japanese knew they were behind the Western world when US Commodore Matthew C. Perry came to Japan in 1853 in large warships with armaments and technology that far outclassed those of Japan with the intent to conclude a treaty that would open up Japanese ports to trade.[1] Figures like Shimazu Nariakira concluded that "if we take the initiative, we can dominate; if we do not, we will be dominated", leading Japan to "throw open its doors to foreign technology."
the entire article is worth reading and its a good demonstration of why the US 1965 immigration act was passed in the first place. Anyways, had the west never had colonial/imperialistic ambitions for east asia to begin with then these parts of the world would probably still be self isolated. The capability for these parts of the world to subsequently supply millions of immigrants to the west is directly connected to the west historically forcing them to open up and making them interact with the rest of the world. Like I originally said:
Echoing arguments made earlier about the Korean War, Rep. John Lindsay (R-NY) noted the paradox of fighting for South Vietnam while continuing to exclude all but token numbers of Vietnamese: “[T]his nation has committed itself to the defense of the independence of South Vietnam. Yet the quota for that country of 15 million is exactly 100. Apparently we are willing to risk a major war for the right of the Vietnamese people to live in freedom at the same time as our quota system makes it clear that we do not want very great numbers of them to live with us.”Secretary of State Dean Rusk told a congressional hearing in 1964 that U.S. immigration policy had serious, negative foreign policy implications. “What other peoples think about us plays an important role in the achievement of our foreign policies,” he argued. “More than a dozen foreign ministers have spoken to me in the last year alone, not about the practicalities of immigration from their country to ours, but about the principle which they interpret as discrimination against their particular countries.” Rusk emphasized that “even those [countries] who do not use their quotas…resent the fact that the quotas are there as a discriminatory measure.”In the same vein, Attorney General Nicholas Katzenbach warned that the “national origins system harms the United States in still another way: it creates an image of hypocrisy which can be exploited by those who seek to discredit our professions of democracy.”
Its amazing that you still insist that modern globalization has nothing to do with the framework set up by over five centuries of western meddling with the rest of the world. You demonstrate your ignorance of history by claiming this. Modern globalization would not exist in its current form were it not for the past actions of the west.
well the west probably should have left the entire world alone yet it forced the entire world to globalize and interconnect at literal gunpoint for over five centuries. Modern globalization is based upon the foundation created by european colonization of the entire world. You should blame your ancestors for the current state of affairs. That being said, ironically instead of blaming your ancestors, people like you continue to exonerate and even celebrate them for their colonial adventures.
But what you said didnt disprove my point though. You were originally trying to claim that the modern globalization we are now experiencing would have still happened in the absence of the west trying to colonize and dominate the world for over five centuries but you actually couldn't support this argument. This is why you responded with something off-topic about european countries still being better than "primitive" amerindian societies in this hypothetical reality. Once again:
Technology still would have connected the world and European countries would still be better than many non-white countries. I doubt the Amerindians would have formed very advanced societies, but you never know. Cannabalism was a cultural institution when we met them.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This is conjecture, you don’t know what would have happened had colonialism never happened. The world would look entirely different had colonialism never happened. Keep in mind that the US, canada and a bunch of countries wouldn’t even exist anymore if colonialism had never happened. Just this factor alone means that mass immigration would be significantly curtailed since some of the countries that we now know wouldn’t exist in the first place to receive mass immigration. The entire modern world and even how we think and perceive the world and the people in it is based upon the legacy of colonialism. The point youre trying to make is basically unprovable and rests on so many assumptions (various causal assumptions need to be made to replace the role of colonialism or its legacy) about how an alternative form of globalization would have occurred that you might as well be writing fiction.
Why dont you get your story straight? Where have I suggested that white genocide is justified? Please provide where I have stated this, you keep suggesting that I have but you haven't been able to provide proof for where ive said this in this thread.

You’re extremely naive if you don’t think that the CIA (through NED) is actively trying to destablize xinjiang and use it as a launching pad for destabilization and terrorism against china.
I would need more evidence that the CIA is behind it, especially since it’s China that is trying to erase the culture of the Uyghurs and is the occupying power in Xinjiang. Muslims don’t need outside powers to convince them to engage in terrorism.

It’s the prevailing viewpoint. The fact that you can’t find one white advocate that says otherwise is pretty damning.

Quit drinking the kool-aid. White nationalism is just ethnonationalism for white ethnic groups, nothing more. Do the Japanese need to be made a minority in Japan because they might invade China again? What about the Turks and the Ottoman Empire? What about the Mongolians? Do they have a right to determine immigration policy in their own country? White nationalists are some of the biggest anti-imperialists around. Your fears are baseless, and you know it. Otherwise, you would provide some evidence showing white nationalists arguing for a return of genocide, colonialism, slavery, etc.
lol why are you changing goal posts again? Chinese, koreans, japanese etc are not considered third worlders.

Its amazing that you still insist that modern globalization has nothing to do with the framework set up by over five centuries of western meddling with the rest of the world.

Strawman. I never said it had nothing to do with it, I just said that it wasn’t dependent on it. I see colonialism as having exacerbated globalism. You still can’t refute that technology would have brought the world much closer together anyway. Mass migrations happened in the past even before colonialism.
You were originally trying to claim that the modern globalization we are now experiencing would have still happened in the absence of the west trying to colonize and dominate the world for over five centuries but you actually couldn’t support this argument.
See above. You essentially just refused to address my previous points about technology and trade.

More cope. You know you f-ed up by calling present white nationalists hypocrites for calling out present Jewish supremacism just because white supremacism existed in the past. Why can’t you understand that white nationalism is just the equivalent of wanting Japan to stay Japanese. Or Nigeria to stay Nigerian. Or Iran to stay Iranian. Or India to stay Indian. You get the picture I hope. I don’t know if I can put it any simpler. And no, you wouldn’t have brought up the Mongolian conquests if I was a Mongolian nationalist lmao. I doubt anyone on this planet has a problem with Mongolia staying Mongolian. It’s only when it comes to whites wanting the same for their countries that anyone ever objects. But hey, at least you got some good goy points, colonizer.
Thats good. Keep in mind that since HBD/cultural is a significant factor then this also means that your original argument was always invalid:I do and always have.
The chinese simply appear to have had different priorities/styles when it came to dominating/colonizing others, I really don’t know why its so hard for you to accept that HBD/culture is a significant factor in this and if you DO accept that HBD/culture is a significant factor in this then we actually have nothing to argue about anymore since this was my original point anyways.
This is a basically a racial blank slate argument. Given that HBD is a significant factor, there is no basis to assume that all the other races would have done the same if they were capable of doing so. Keep in mind that I am explicitly talking about RACES and not ethnicities. What you were originally claiming is patently unprovable.
All the other races would have done the same in our place, they just weren’t ever strong enough to even come close to accomplishing it.
The chinese interest in the malacca sultanate and the kotte also originated in trade as well. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Malacca_SultanateTo the Chinese. The Portuguese obviously had different needs since they were looking to trade with the region while being very far from home.
Your original point wasnt about why or how the malacca sultanate and kotte eventually came to be colonized, your original point was about whether or not they were worth being colonized at all.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ming%E2%80%93Kotte_War
Within years, news about Malacca becoming a centre of trade and commerce began to spread all over the eastern part of the world. In 1405, Yongle Emperor of Ming Dynasty (r. 1402–1424) sent his envoy headed by Yin Qing to Malacca.[19] Yin Qing's visit opened the way for the establishment of friendly relations between Malacca and China. Two years later, the legendary Admiral Zheng He made his first of six visits to Malacca. (bold necessary parts)
BTW did you ever bother looking at a map to see how far away the malacca sultanate and the kotte kingdom were from china? Its a pretty big distance, so your argument regarding the portuguese needing to trade in the region while being very far from home could similarly apply to the chinese as well. Isn't it funny how you keep trying to come up with non-HBD/cultural excuses? Yet in your above response you state that you've always believed in HBD, yet every chance you get you try to make up different non-HBD excuses for why the chinese did or didnt do that. Im not saying that HBD/culture is the sole factor, but its beyond obvious that you're trying to avoid HBD/cultural explanations when they dont fit your agenda.
During the Ming treasure voyages, a large Chinese fleet led by Admiral Zheng He arrived in local waters to establish Chinese control and stability of the maritime routes in the waters around Ceylon and southern India.[3] Alakeshvara posed a threat to Chinese trade by committing piracy and hostilities in the local waters.[3]
This is what you seemed to be implying. You literally keep claiming that china is colonizing africa, but is it really? European style colonization is significantly different than what the chinese are currently doing in africa. I would even argue that it could be considered an apples and oranges comparison. You need to stop claiming that china is colonizing africa until you can actually define what colonization even means in this context in the first place. You're only loosely throwing around the word colonization because you're trying to create the impression that what the chinese are doing in africa and what the west did are the same thing when really they're not. I get the impression that you don't really know much about what china is doing in africa and you pretty much just pick and choose what you want to be aware of. I think the reality on the ground in africa is much different than what you think. https://www.quora.com/Is-China-colonizing-Africathis link provides a lot of different perspectives (even some black african voices) that gives their opinions about what china is doing in africa.
I didn’t claim they were colonizing Africa in the European sense. There is more than one way to skin a cat. That being said, the Europeans also built up infrastructure and provided training and education to the Africans.
yup but this is what you were trying to imply. The context that you wrote the above quote in is provided below:Didn’t say it did.
Just because american actions related to the concept of manifest destiny could potentially be considered as a regional matter doesn’t disprove or somehow negate the long, established history of western european global colonization.
By bringing up the manifest destiny related actions in america you were trying to make these actions seem less about global colonization and more about regional colonization. Your point being that you were trying to make the argument that the US displacement and genocide of the native americans might not have qualified as "global colonization".I wonder if Manifest Destiny related actions in America would qualify as a regional matter once the initial colonies were established.
As for vietnam this was a regional matter and china has historically been deeply interested in regional matters as I have written numerous times before, the same goes for the miao rebellions which happened within the heart of the ming dynasty itself.
this doesn't disprove what I said though:
They hadn’t even begun to settle large numbers though before they were attacked. It wasn’t like the English just showed up and started killing Amerindians in order to take “their” land. As for the Spanish, it was the brutality of the Aztecs that caused other tribes to enlist the help of the Spanish in overthrowing Aztec rule.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Secondly, if you insist on moving into a strange neighborhood then you are potentially courting danger. The english settlers would have been silly to expect otherwise.
You are just claiming this. Can you actually prove it? As a counter-example to your point, if this was true then why did japan collaborate with european powers to colonize china instead of allying with other asian countries? The point you are trying to argue is a vast oversimplification, real politik is based on much more than just "muh race"Anyways what you wrote doesnt have anything to do with my original argument. You wanted to claim that fighting against/colonizing regional tribes is worse because they are racial kin and I provided an argument against that. Your response has nothing to do with disproving my original point.They only care about ethnicity more when there’s a situation involving racially similar ethnicities. Add another race into the mix and race becomes more important again.
My impression is that most people in the world value their own ethnicity/culture over what race they belong to.
If people actually valued the concept of an overarching race over their ethnicity then they wouldn't fight each other in the first place. Proximity is a factor of course, but it doesn't entirely disprove my original argument. Your point about there being a strong and consistent pan-racial consciousness for each race is just wrong. In my experience the majority of people do not think this way. Your mistake is that you're trying to argue that pan-racial consciousness is much stronger than it actually is, the sentiment exists but its not as strong or as ubiquitous as you're acting like it is.Proximity.
The fact that there have been so many internecine, racially fratricidal wars across the entire world is a strong argument against the notion that people value the concept of an overarching race over their ethnicity.
so you're actually arguing in favor of my point now LOL. However you're trying to set up a strawman by reconstructing my original argument but leaving out important points. This is your strawman:If they’ve actually done something to you in the past, but just being in close proximity with someone does not make killing them better. For example, it would be worse for the Mings to have killed Malaccans than, say, Mongolians. But China was the aggressor against the Vietnamese. In that case, I don’t see how you can argue that it is somehow better for them to have killed Vietnamese over the hypothetical killing of Malaccans. And if a neighbor is an ally, I would say it’s worse to kill them as opposed to a stranger.
Anyways, I would absolutely argue that it is worse to kill people that you have never met and have no negative history with than it is to kill some people that you have a negative/stressful history with.
but my original argument was much more reasonable than your strawman:
If they’ve actually done something to you in the past, but just being in close proximity with someone does not make killing them better.
I never said anything about it being less immoral to kill people just because they're in close proximity, I was always more specific than that. Keep in mind that this specific argument goes back to comment #383 where we were talking about the following:
Anyways, I would absolutely argue that it is worse to kill people that you have never met and have no negative history with than it is to kill some people that you have a negative/stressful history with.
My original point, taken within its original context is cogent. You're trying to isolate my original point and make a strawman out of it in order to disprove it lol.
This is different than european colonists randomly showing up some day and then going on to colonize people they had no prior history with. Indigenous tribes that are inhabiting your country itself or the nearby region and could create issues/rebellions != indigenous tribes in a far away land that have zero effect on your country.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ming_conquest_of_Yunnan
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Miao_rebellions_under_the_Ming_dynasty
I didn't say you did want to destroy the jews. I wrote destroy all jewish culture , which is something you almost seem to be advocating since you continually complain about jewish culture. That being said, you didn't answer my question:I don’t want to destroy the Jews. I just want the diaspora to relocate to Israel and leave us alone. And again, it matters who the aggressor is.
Most white nationalists and most likely you yourself would be in favor of destroying all jewish culture given the negative events and history that have transpired between jews and western gentiles as opposed to destroying the culture of some ethnicity you have never met, which you would probably consider immoral. That being said, going by your own logic that youre trying to argue in favor of, it would be nonsensical to want to destroy jewish culture as a white nationalist even in light of the history and context behind the strained relationship between jews and the west and it would be no more justifiable than destroying the culture of some ethnicity you’ve never met. Do you understand the flaw in your reasoning now?
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
As a white nationalist what is morally worse, destroying all jewish culture or destroying the culture of some ethnicity that you have never met?
But this doesn't answer my original point. You originally claimed the following in bold:
Europeans have the power and the money to recolonize Africa if they wanted to. What’s stopping us if not a changed attitude towards colonialism?
You were trying to suggest that whites voluntarily stopped engaging in colonialism, this is also supported by what you wrote in comment #380:No, they don’t. Our belief systems are central to everything we do. Why don’t whites engage in colonialism or slavery any more? We changed our beliefs.Actually with regards to colonialism it isn’t practiced anymore because WW1 and WW2 broke the west’s back and basically forced them to abandon their colonial possessions. Its not like the west en masse decided out of the goodness of their hearts that they werent going to practice colonialism anymore.
yet the truth was that external factors were the primary factor in forcing the west to give up their colonies, it wasnt done as a voluntary act of goodwill like you were trying to suggest. As we both know, my point was always about why the west gave up its colonies, not about the fact that the west gave up its colonies itself. Therefore your original point was wrong.
There’s one thing they could do instead of colonization, and they wouldn’t have to worry about the CIA (if your conspiracy theory is true) any more. Let them be independent. Give it away like the Europeans did to their colonies.
Like I said, why not just admit that you were incorrect? You tried to accuse me of something which wasn't chronologically supported within our conversation (comment #367). Instead of admitting that you were mistaken you've just doubled down and tried to throw out a bunch of non-related arguments. See below:Do you agree or not? I’m just trying to clarify your position. You’re the one that didn’t even know the definition of white supremacy.
Why not just admit that you were incorrect? Or barring that, if you’re not willing to lose face by admitting that then why not just drop the point completely? Its absurd that you keep trying to rehash your point in a way that makes it look like you werent wrong.
--------------------------------------------------------LOL. We already covered this buddy back in comment #316 where I asked you to define what you consider as a white supremacist. You’re trying to claim that im wrong while forgetting the fact that when I gave you the 60-70% figure I was explicitly using my own definition of a white supremacist. You didn’t provide your definition of what you considered a white supremacist until after that post. You’re trying to claim im wrong but your logic is chronologically messed up.
A white supremacist would want the return of colonialism. You claimed that up to 60-70% of race realists could be white supremacists, but not even all race realists are white nationalists, yet alone white supremacists.
Oh boy...https://www.collinsdictionary.com/us/dictionary/english/white-supremacy
You’re the one that didn’t even know the definition of white supremacy.

There are multiple definitions of white supremacy. The definition that I was originally referring to is a valid usage of the term white supremacy. Why didn't you bother looking up the word white supremacy in a few different dictionaries before making your claim? lol. It appears that the one who doesnt even know the definition of white supremacy is you. I at least knew that there were different definitions of white supremacy and was intelligent enough to realize that we could have been talking over each other due to a semantic misunderstanding. (comment #316).
3) white people have their own "culture" that is superior to other cultures; 4) white people are genetically superior to other people.
But many normal whites arent consistently making claims about colonization being bad like you are. Most normal whites hardly ever talk or think about this. If they are indifferent to colonization then its pointless to hold them up to this same standard that I would hold to someone who "claims" to be against colonization. For people like yourself OTOH its quite different. Since you consistently claim that colonization is so bad, its hypocritical for you to condone certain instances of colonization and condemn others. You have to live up to your own moral standards. I don't hold politically indifferent normal whites to the same standards that I hold political ideologues like you to.Not even normal whites would undo what happened in the new world. Don’t exactly see very many Americans, Canadians, or Latin American whites giving their land to Amerindians and moving to Europe, do you? But remember, white nationalists don’t want a repeatof what happened to the Amerindians. Posting this again.
So…you think that white nationalists (IE american white nationalists) only regret colonization and would undo it as long as it was colonization which they didn’t benefit from (africa and asian colonization) even though the worst of colonization happened in the new world. So much for your moral superiority
https://www.counter-currents.com/2017/10/the-autochthony-argument-2/
Of course you dont want a repeat of what happened to the ameridians because this time its your own chestnuts in the fire. Keep in mind that the points made in this essay don't matter in the real world. In the real world all that matters is power. Just because you think that whites might have a right to exist, or at least a right to not be genocided because of their past, it doesn't actually matter; what matters is power and the ability to survive. Whites overpowered the amerindians and took their land, now jews are overpowering the west. There is nothing fair or unfair about this, its simply how things are. An essay arguing against autochthony doesn't change this. Also it bears repeating since you didnt seem to address this point:
https://www.counter-currents.com/2017/10/the-autochthony-argument-2/
The truth is, you don't speak for all white nationalists and you can't prove that you do in spite of your proclamations to the contrary.
this is your supposition, but like any political group there will be a lot of diversity in terms of political opinions. I would say that there are a decent amount of white nationalists who think that colonialism was justified, not the majority, but definitely a decent number in my experience. Furthermore I assume that you are a strong believer in the counter-currents brand of white nationalism, this is my impression given what you’ve said so far and the fact that you linked one of their articles earlier, however that being said, counter currents does not speak for all white nationalists (nobody does), counter-currents only speaks for its own brand of white nationalism. I think you basically assume that just because the people in your own white nationalist bubble don’t think colonialism was justified then this means that all white nationalists must feel this way, but like I said, there is a lot of diversity in any political group and white nationalism is no exception, its folly to speak with such certainty of all white nationalists feeling one way or another on a given topic.
But in your last response you were engaging in exactly the kind of behavior that ive been consistently accusing white nationalists of doing:I freely admit that colonialism in Africa, Asia, and what is now Latin America was wrong. What happened in the U.S. and Canada is different as it involved nomadic tribes and settlers. And there is the fact almost all land belonged to someone else at some point. Can you steal what was already stolen?
most white advocates ive encountered make endless rationalizations for colonization instead of arguing against it and just admitting it was wrong, including you. There are maybe like 0.05% of white advocates who will admit that european colonization was morally wrong, the rest will make flimsy apologetic arguments for it or will even be proud of it.
Its only in your latest response that you "freely admit" that colonialism in africa, asia, latin america was wrong without trying to justfiy it, but in your previous reponse you were still trying to throw out rationalizations and justifications for it. Likewise you're still trying to throw out rationalizations for colonization; what happened in the US and canada was quite similar, the amerindians functionally had a homeland and they were pushed off of it. End of story.
I certainly would, but would the Africans and Asians? Many Africans think Africa would be more advanced and developed today without European colonialism. However, I don’t know if they truly believe that given the differences between countries that were colonized and those that weren’t. The situation in the Americas was different because it involved settler colonialism and the creation of new nations.
Excellent point, the same logic applies to all of the immigrants (legal and otherwise) in western countries. This land formerly belonged to whites and now much of it belongs to non-white immigrants. So why are you mad about all of this? If its ok for the native americans to be dispossessed of their lands (regardless of the means), then why does it make you so mad when whites are gradually displaced from their lands? Its the same principle
And there is the fact almost all land belonged to someone else at some point. Can you steal what was already stolen?
I happen to disagree, but regardless of whether or not im actually guilty of this, it has no bearing on the fact that you are guilty of the following:
But don’t try to act like you’re better. You do the same exact thing trying to make excuses for Chinese wrongdoings.
whether or not I try to make excuses for chinese wrongdoings has no bearing on the truthiness of my original claim.
most white advocates ive encountered make endless rationalizations for colonization instead of arguing against it and just admitting it was wrong, including you. There are maybe like 0.05% of white advocates who will admit that european colonization was morally wrong, the rest will make flimsy apologetic arguments for it or will even be proud of it.
so...you can't disprove what I said lol. You wanted to make a pithy argument:And by arguing against white nationalists, it seems you have chosen your side.
Regardless of whether you think that you are justified and righteous, what ultimately matters is power. Jews currently have power and the west does not. This is the story of human history. The very same reasoning you apply to the amerindians can be equally applied to the west.
and you ended up getting hoisted by your own petard. niceReplies: @FvSYou are right about this. We live in a harsh universe. It doesn’t matter how ethical or unethical somebody is, all that ultimately matters is power. In the past western europeans fought and the amerindians lost, likewise in the present jews are fighting and the west is losing. Regardless of whether you think that you are justified and righteous, what ultimately matters is power. Jews currently have power and the west does not. This is the story of human history. The very same reasoning you apply to the amerindians can be equally applied to the west.
We fought, and they lost. It’s the story of human history (including the Amerindians), and while it’s regrettable that so many died, all we can really do now is try to make sure it doesn’t happen again.
https://www.science20.com/news_articles/the_most_violent_era_in_america_was_before_europeans_arrived-141847
This is a basically a racial blank slate argument. Given that HBD is a significant factor, there is no basis to assume that all the other races would have done the same if they were capable of doing so. Keep in mind that I am explicitly talking about RACES and not ethnicities. What you were originally claiming is patently unprovable.
Some things are universal to all races. If the Mongolians, Aztecs, or Bantus had the same kind of military technology, ships, and religion as the Western Europeans, you would see the same kind of expansion as Western Europeans engaged in. The existence of just one ethnic group belonging to each of the major races that acts in the same way as the European colonials powers did proves my original statement.
The chinese interest in the malacca sultanate and the kotte also originated in trade as well.
Portugal was looking for a trading outposts to trade with the entire region, including with China. Sri Lanka is closer to China than to Portugal, and it’s a very long distance from Portugal to China.
This is what you seemed to be implying. You literally keep claiming that china is colonizing africa, but is it really? European style colonization is significantly different than what the chinese are currently doing in africa. I would even argue that it could be considered an apples and oranges comparison. You need to stop claiming that china is colonizing africa until you can actually define what colonization even means in this context in the first place. You’re only loosely throwing around the word colonization because you’re trying to create the impression that what the chinese are doing in africa and what the west did are the same thing when really they’re not. I get the impression that you don’t really know much about what china is doing in africa and you pretty much just pick and choose what you want to be aware of. I think the reality on the ground in africa is much different than what you think.
It’s you that doesn’t understand what China is doing in Africa. It could be described as economic colonialism. It’s not politically oppressive like European colonialism was, but Africans will probably end up selling away their countries in the end.

A quote from the first article
Thanks to books like How Europe Underdeveloped Africa, we know that the purposes of a colony are:
▶︎ to extend the influence of the “mother country”
▶︎ to provide a source of raw materials for the “mother country”
▶︎ to provide a market for manufactured products of the “mother country”
▶︎ to provide a place for people to live, especially if the “mother country” is overcrowded
By bringing up the manifest destiny related actions in america you were trying to make these actions seem less about global colonization and more about regional colonization. Your point being that you were trying to make the argument that the US displacement and genocide of the native americans might not have qualified as “global colonization”.
Yes, but that doesn’t mean I was trying to negate the rest of European colonialism. I was just bringing attention to this specific area of history and was wondering if it could be classified in the same way as the other instances of European colonialism.
You are just claiming this. Can you actually prove it? As a counter-example to your point, if this was true then why did japan collaborate with european powers to colonize china instead of allying with other asian countries? The point you are trying to argue is a vast oversimplification, real politik is based on much more than just “muh race”
Because the European powers weren’t trying to colonize Japan as well as China. If they had been, Chinese vs. Japanese ethnic rivalries would have taken a backseat to the outside racial aggressor. Also, supranational alliances tend to form along racial lines. European caucasoids, MENA caucasoids, mongoloids, negroids, etc. all have more in common with each other than outside groups. An example would be Asians in the United States. Pan-Asian identity supersedes old ethnic groups here. And in China and even in Japan, they are more comfortable having other Asian ethnic groups as immigrants than non-Asians.
Anyways what you wrote doesnt have anything to do with my original argument. You wanted to claim that fighting against/colonizing regional tribes is worse because they are racial kin and I provided an argument against that. Your response has nothing to do with disproving my original point.
It is worse, especially from an evolutionary viewpoint. The races are literally different sub-species of human. Just like it’s worse to kill a member of your own family, it’s worse to kill a member of your own race. And from a cultural point of view, any destruction of a racially similar but ethnically different group’s culture is going to seem more self-destructive due to the cultural similarities that are likely to exist. For example, Chinese and Vietnamese culture had more common with each other than Chinese and Somalian.
If people actually valued the concept of an overarching race over their ethnicity then they wouldn’t fight each other in the first place. Proximity is a factor of course, but it doesn’t entirely disprove my original argument. Your point about there being a strong and consistent pan-racial consciousness for each race is just wrong. In my experience the majority of people do not think this way. Your mistake is that you’re trying to argue that pan-racial consciousness is much stronger than it actually is, the sentiment exists but its not as strong or as ubiquitous as you’re acting like it is.
See above. Just look at race relations in the U.S. to understand whether ethnicity or race matters more.
Anyways, I would absolutely argue that it is worse to kill people that you have never met and have no negative history with than it is to kill some people that you have a negative/stressful history with.
You left out the key context of who the aggressor is which is a vital distinction, and I went into some potential scenarios explaining further. I notice you didn’t even try to refute them. China’s colonization of Vietnam was no better than if China had tried to colonize Malacca since China was the aggressor against Vietnam.
Do you honestly think Trump is capable of ordering a bio attack against Chinese civilians? And why would he risk causing an economic downturn in the U.S. during an election year? The U.S. and Chinese economies are too intertwined.
Sure, I agree with you 100%. But aren’t you incorrectly assuming that Donald Trump is in control of the U.S. government?
After all, many of his top aides and supporters have been prosecuted on fairly ridiculous charges and may spend the rest of their lives in prison. Plus many of his most important allies on the Internet have been purged or deplatformed.
I think there’s a 0% chance that Trump himself ordered or approved a deadly biowarfare attack. But it seems perfectly plausible that it was carried out by some elements of the American national security apparatus.

I’ve heard what China is doing in Africa described as economic colonialism. It’s not politically oppressive like European colonialism was, but Africans may end up selling away their countries in the end. It should be noted that the Europeans developed infrastructure in Africa as well.

Yup and I never said it was. I was clarifying my own position. Re-read everything I wrote. Why is it that you have such bad reading comprehension?Yeah, was never my position.
To say that all ethnicities/cultural blocs would have acted in the same way were they in the position of western europeans is a really broad and unprovable statement due to its inherent complexity.
Actually when the debate first began we were using a very loose definition of race, it wasn't until a little bit later on that we became more careful with what terms we were using. This is evidenced by the fact that way back in comment #143 you said the following:
I was. That’s why I made that generalization about race since every race had or has ethnicities/cultural blocs that would have done the same in our shoes. You couldn’t refute what I said, so that’s why you steered the debate toward a specific ethnicity/cultural bloc in the Ming Chinese that probably wouldn’t fit that criteria. But that’s okay, it was interesting, and I learned the Mings weren’t as bad as they could have potentially been.
Jews are not a race, they're an ethnicity. However you were implying that they could be a "race". This right here suggests that you're using a very loose definition of race. The fact that we were comparing whites and jews to begin with suggests that we were discussing ethnicity instead of strictly race and this is confirmed by your own reference to jewish racial/ethnic consciousness. Here's another example:
On the other hand, subjugation of the goyim is built into the Jewish identity. Their religion is literally a roadmap for world domination, and their racial/ethnic consciousness is based upon “choseness” and genetic superiority. Secular Jews are not exempt from this because they still belong to the greater Jewish ethnic identity and culture which has largely been defined by Judaism the religion.
You were mixing your analogies in this situation. On one hand you were talking about races in a broad sense and whites being ethnically cleansed from their homelands but then you turned around and started listing various ethnicities instead of being consistent and referring to them on a racial level. I understand your analogy but its pretty confusing in terms of race/ethnicity. You can't really accuse me of trying to steer the debate when you weren't always precise about your usage of race as well. The argument about the ming dynasty that I was advocating seemed pretty consistent with our loose usage of race at the time. In fact you were happy to debate and didn't say anything about the loose definition of race for quite a few comments until you clarified it in comment #271.
Strawman. I never said it was okay. My point was that all races have engaged in conquest and slaughter. European caucasoids are not unique in that regard. But what you seem to be implying is that because some white people did bad things in the past, they deserve to be ethnically cleansed from their homelands. Would you apply this same logic to the Turks because of the Ottoman Empire? What about the Japanese because of Nanking? Israelis because of what they’re doing to the Palestinians? How about the Bantus of Africa?
Keep in mind that I had bothered to clarify my stance on race as early as comment #177. If you really thought that I was steering the conversation then you could have stopped the debate and demanded that we clarify the terms of debate, but you didn't. You insisted on continuing the debate. You very obviously wanted to defend your stance that the ming would have acted in a similar fashion to the western european colonizers in the spirit of your original claim that all races would have done the same as whites if they could have. Actions speak louder than words, thats why you spent two weeks trying to argue your point. This is why I doubt your line of reasoning below:
If the existence of the Ming Dynasty means the Mongolian Empire never happened, then I guess the existence of all those European countries that never had colonies means the ones that did don’t count against us.
Its post-hoc reasoning. You only started trying to clarify the ethnicities/cultural bloc argument later on, initially we were operating on a really loose definition of race.
That’s why I made that generalization about race since every race had or has ethnicities/cultural blocs that would have done the same in our shoes.
you're making a large assumption here though. Who said that they would have wanted control over production? What supports your assumption? You're just trying to move goalposts here.They could have traded for some of it, but if they wanted control over production, they would have had to use force.
Or maybe the mings might have just traded for it, like they did for everything else. Truthfully you dont know exactly what they would have done (nor do I). Its inane that you assume that the mings would have automatically resorted to force
Your response has nothing to do with the original point though:
And again white nationalism and white supremacism are two different things. White nationalists may point out silver linings in the colonial actions of the past, some might even think colonialism was justified at the time (though I can’t think of any prominent one that does), but they absolutely do not support white supremacy in the present. There is no hypocrisy because we are talking about the Jewish supremacism that exists right now and that is destroying our people. So, what we have is one group of people that are not racial supremacists bringing attention to another group of people that are racial supremacists and who are slowly trying to genocide the first group.
You misread my original point and misunderstood what it was actually saying. You were claiming that I was stating that whites are hypocritical for criticizing jewish supremacy taking place in the present when I was actually stating that white nationalists are the ones who are hypocritical. Your rambling reponse didn't address this at all.You literally said that modern whites are collectively guilty for being racial supremacists in the past and so are hypocritical for criticizing Jewish supremacy taking place in the present. So white nationalists should just shut up about it and accept their fate.
Where did I suggest that whites have collective guilt for past transgressions and have to pay for it by accepting mass immigration?
So...you can't find where I made this kind of argument then? Its telling because if I did make this argument in this thread then it would be easy to find, but instead you can only resort to trying to stretch an argument that is based entirely on your assumption.Replies: @FvSYou criticized white nationalists for speaking out against the Jewish supremacism of today because white supremacism existed in the past, and I guess we haven’t done enough to denounce it in your opinion. If you think we shouldn’t fight back against what’s happening to us, I can only assume you think we deserve our fate.
besides that, can you show me somewhere else in this thread where I made the argument that whites have collective guilt for past transgressions and have to pay for it by accepting mass immigration?
Yup and I never said it was. I was clarifying my own position. Re-read everything I wrote. Why is it that you have such bad reading comprehension?
I’m the one that said that “all races would would have done the same in our position.” You never made any claim like that, so who else would I have thought that your comment was directed towards, lol…
Jews are not a race, they’re an ethnicity. However you were implying that they could be a “race”. This right here suggests that you’re using a very loose definition of race. The fact that we were comparing whites and jews to begin with suggests that we were discussing ethnicity instead of strictly race and this is confirmed by your own reference to jewish racial/ethnic consciousness. Jews are not a race, they’re an ethnicity. However you were implying that they could be a “race”. This right here suggests that you’re using a very loose definition of race. The fact that we were comparing whites and jews to begin with suggests that we were discussing ethnicity instead of strictly race and this is confirmed by your own reference to jewish racial/ethnic consciousness.
Ashkenazi, Sephardic and Mizrahi Jews are racially distinct from other caucasoid groups. That is not to say they are their own race as in caucasoid, mongoloid, negroid, etc. At most, they are a sub-race of a sub-race. But when I speak of Jewish
racial consciousness, I’m referring to the genetic aspect of what it means to be a Jew.
You were mixing your analogies in this situation. On one hand you were talking about races in a broad sense and whites being ethnically cleansed from their homelands but then you turned around and started listing various ethnicities instead of being consistent and referring to them on a racial level. I understand your analogy but its pretty confusing in terms of race/ethnicity. You can’t really accuse me of trying to steer the debate when you weren’t always precise about your usage of race as well. The argument about the ming dynasty that I was advocating seemed pretty consistent with our loose usage of race at the time. In fact you were happy to debate and didn’t say anything about the loose definition of race for quite a few comments until you clarified it in comment #271.
No, I wasn’t mixing analogies. You just misunderstood. I only debated about the Mings because I figured they were one of the Mongolian or Japanese Imperialist types. But it turns out I was wrong there.
f you really thought that I was steering the conversation then you could have stopped the debate and demanded that we clarify the terms of debate, but you didn’t. You insisted on continuing the debate. You very obviously wanted to defend your stance that the ming would have acted in a similar fashion to the western european colonizers in the spirit of your original claim that all races would have done the same as whites if they could have. Actions speak louder than words, thats why you spent two weeks trying to argue your point.
See above.
Its post-hoc reasoning. You only started trying to clarify the ethnicities/cultural bloc argument later on, initially we were operating on a really loose definition of race.
No, we weren’t.
you’re making a large assumption here though. Who said that they would have wanted control over production? What supports your assumption? You’re just trying to move goalposts here.
I’m saying that because that is what the Spanish wanted. So if the Mings had wanted the same things as the Spanish, they would have had to use similar methods.
You were claiming that I was stating that whites are hypocritical for criticizing jewish supremacy taking place in the present when I was actually stating that white nationalists are the ones who are hypocritical. Your rambling reponse didn’t address this at all.
Yes, it did. I specifically referred to white nationalists only. White nationalists are not racial supremacists, so there is no contradiction. The actions of past white supremacists have nothing to do with modern white nationalists fighting against modern Jewish supremacism. Why is it that you have such bad reading comprehension?
So…you can’t find where I made this kind of argument then? Its telling because if I did make this argument in this thread then it would be easy to find, but instead you can only resort to trying to stretch an argument that is based entirely on your assumption.
Are you retarded? If you don’t think we deserve our fate, then stfu the next time a white nationalist calls out Jewish supremacism.
Thats good. Keep in mind that since HBD/cultural is a significant factor then this also means that your original argument was always invalid:I do and always have.
The chinese simply appear to have had different priorities/styles when it came to dominating/colonizing others, I really don’t know why its so hard for you to accept that HBD/culture is a significant factor in this and if you DO accept that HBD/culture is a significant factor in this then we actually have nothing to argue about anymore since this was my original point anyways.
This is a basically a racial blank slate argument. Given that HBD is a significant factor, there is no basis to assume that all the other races would have done the same if they were capable of doing so. Keep in mind that I am explicitly talking about RACES and not ethnicities. What you were originally claiming is patently unprovable.
All the other races would have done the same in our place, they just weren’t ever strong enough to even come close to accomplishing it.
The chinese interest in the malacca sultanate and the kotte also originated in trade as well. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Malacca_SultanateTo the Chinese. The Portuguese obviously had different needs since they were looking to trade with the region while being very far from home.
Your original point wasnt about why or how the malacca sultanate and kotte eventually came to be colonized, your original point was about whether or not they were worth being colonized at all.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ming%E2%80%93Kotte_War
Within years, news about Malacca becoming a centre of trade and commerce began to spread all over the eastern part of the world. In 1405, Yongle Emperor of Ming Dynasty (r. 1402–1424) sent his envoy headed by Yin Qing to Malacca.[19] Yin Qing's visit opened the way for the establishment of friendly relations between Malacca and China. Two years later, the legendary Admiral Zheng He made his first of six visits to Malacca. (bold necessary parts)
BTW did you ever bother looking at a map to see how far away the malacca sultanate and the kotte kingdom were from china? Its a pretty big distance, so your argument regarding the portuguese needing to trade in the region while being very far from home could similarly apply to the chinese as well. Isn't it funny how you keep trying to come up with non-HBD/cultural excuses? Yet in your above response you state that you've always believed in HBD, yet every chance you get you try to make up different non-HBD excuses for why the chinese did or didnt do that. Im not saying that HBD/culture is the sole factor, but its beyond obvious that you're trying to avoid HBD/cultural explanations when they dont fit your agenda.
During the Ming treasure voyages, a large Chinese fleet led by Admiral Zheng He arrived in local waters to establish Chinese control and stability of the maritime routes in the waters around Ceylon and southern India.[3] Alakeshvara posed a threat to Chinese trade by committing piracy and hostilities in the local waters.[3]
This is what you seemed to be implying. You literally keep claiming that china is colonizing africa, but is it really? European style colonization is significantly different than what the chinese are currently doing in africa. I would even argue that it could be considered an apples and oranges comparison. You need to stop claiming that china is colonizing africa until you can actually define what colonization even means in this context in the first place. You're only loosely throwing around the word colonization because you're trying to create the impression that what the chinese are doing in africa and what the west did are the same thing when really they're not. I get the impression that you don't really know much about what china is doing in africa and you pretty much just pick and choose what you want to be aware of. I think the reality on the ground in africa is much different than what you think. https://www.quora.com/Is-China-colonizing-Africathis link provides a lot of different perspectives (even some black african voices) that gives their opinions about what china is doing in africa.
I didn’t claim they were colonizing Africa in the European sense. There is more than one way to skin a cat. That being said, the Europeans also built up infrastructure and provided training and education to the Africans.
yup but this is what you were trying to imply. The context that you wrote the above quote in is provided below:Didn’t say it did.
Just because american actions related to the concept of manifest destiny could potentially be considered as a regional matter doesn’t disprove or somehow negate the long, established history of western european global colonization.
By bringing up the manifest destiny related actions in america you were trying to make these actions seem less about global colonization and more about regional colonization. Your point being that you were trying to make the argument that the US displacement and genocide of the native americans might not have qualified as "global colonization".I wonder if Manifest Destiny related actions in America would qualify as a regional matter once the initial colonies were established.
As for vietnam this was a regional matter and china has historically been deeply interested in regional matters as I have written numerous times before, the same goes for the miao rebellions which happened within the heart of the ming dynasty itself.
this doesn't disprove what I said though:
They hadn’t even begun to settle large numbers though before they were attacked. It wasn’t like the English just showed up and started killing Amerindians in order to take “their” land. As for the Spanish, it was the brutality of the Aztecs that caused other tribes to enlist the help of the Spanish in overthrowing Aztec rule.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Secondly, if you insist on moving into a strange neighborhood then you are potentially courting danger. The english settlers would have been silly to expect otherwise.
You are just claiming this. Can you actually prove it? As a counter-example to your point, if this was true then why did japan collaborate with european powers to colonize china instead of allying with other asian countries? The point you are trying to argue is a vast oversimplification, real politik is based on much more than just "muh race"Anyways what you wrote doesnt have anything to do with my original argument. You wanted to claim that fighting against/colonizing regional tribes is worse because they are racial kin and I provided an argument against that. Your response has nothing to do with disproving my original point.They only care about ethnicity more when there’s a situation involving racially similar ethnicities. Add another race into the mix and race becomes more important again.
My impression is that most people in the world value their own ethnicity/culture over what race they belong to.
If people actually valued the concept of an overarching race over their ethnicity then they wouldn't fight each other in the first place. Proximity is a factor of course, but it doesn't entirely disprove my original argument. Your point about there being a strong and consistent pan-racial consciousness for each race is just wrong. In my experience the majority of people do not think this way. Your mistake is that you're trying to argue that pan-racial consciousness is much stronger than it actually is, the sentiment exists but its not as strong or as ubiquitous as you're acting like it is.Proximity.
The fact that there have been so many internecine, racially fratricidal wars across the entire world is a strong argument against the notion that people value the concept of an overarching race over their ethnicity.
so you're actually arguing in favor of my point now LOL. However you're trying to set up a strawman by reconstructing my original argument but leaving out important points. This is your strawman:If they’ve actually done something to you in the past, but just being in close proximity with someone does not make killing them better. For example, it would be worse for the Mings to have killed Malaccans than, say, Mongolians. But China was the aggressor against the Vietnamese. In that case, I don’t see how you can argue that it is somehow better for them to have killed Vietnamese over the hypothetical killing of Malaccans. And if a neighbor is an ally, I would say it’s worse to kill them as opposed to a stranger.
Anyways, I would absolutely argue that it is worse to kill people that you have never met and have no negative history with than it is to kill some people that you have a negative/stressful history with.
but my original argument was much more reasonable than your strawman:
If they’ve actually done something to you in the past, but just being in close proximity with someone does not make killing them better.
I never said anything about it being less immoral to kill people just because they're in close proximity, I was always more specific than that. Keep in mind that this specific argument goes back to comment #383 where we were talking about the following:
Anyways, I would absolutely argue that it is worse to kill people that you have never met and have no negative history with than it is to kill some people that you have a negative/stressful history with.
My original point, taken within its original context is cogent. You're trying to isolate my original point and make a strawman out of it in order to disprove it lol.
This is different than european colonists randomly showing up some day and then going on to colonize people they had no prior history with. Indigenous tribes that are inhabiting your country itself or the nearby region and could create issues/rebellions != indigenous tribes in a far away land that have zero effect on your country.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ming_conquest_of_Yunnan
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Miao_rebellions_under_the_Ming_dynasty
I didn't say you did want to destroy the jews. I wrote destroy all jewish culture , which is something you almost seem to be advocating since you continually complain about jewish culture. That being said, you didn't answer my question:I don’t want to destroy the Jews. I just want the diaspora to relocate to Israel and leave us alone. And again, it matters who the aggressor is.
Most white nationalists and most likely you yourself would be in favor of destroying all jewish culture given the negative events and history that have transpired between jews and western gentiles as opposed to destroying the culture of some ethnicity you have never met, which you would probably consider immoral. That being said, going by your own logic that youre trying to argue in favor of, it would be nonsensical to want to destroy jewish culture as a white nationalist even in light of the history and context behind the strained relationship between jews and the west and it would be no more justifiable than destroying the culture of some ethnicity you’ve never met. Do you understand the flaw in your reasoning now?
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
As a white nationalist what is morally worse, destroying all jewish culture or destroying the culture of some ethnicity that you have never met?
But this doesn't answer my original point. You originally claimed the following in bold:
Europeans have the power and the money to recolonize Africa if they wanted to. What’s stopping us if not a changed attitude towards colonialism?
You were trying to suggest that whites voluntarily stopped engaging in colonialism, this is also supported by what you wrote in comment #380:No, they don’t. Our belief systems are central to everything we do. Why don’t whites engage in colonialism or slavery any more? We changed our beliefs.Actually with regards to colonialism it isn’t practiced anymore because WW1 and WW2 broke the west’s back and basically forced them to abandon their colonial possessions. Its not like the west en masse decided out of the goodness of their hearts that they werent going to practice colonialism anymore.
yet the truth was that external factors were the primary factor in forcing the west to give up their colonies, it wasnt done as a voluntary act of goodwill like you were trying to suggest. As we both know, my point was always about why the west gave up its colonies, not about the fact that the west gave up its colonies itself. Therefore your original point was wrong.
There’s one thing they could do instead of colonization, and they wouldn’t have to worry about the CIA (if your conspiracy theory is true) any more. Let them be independent. Give it away like the Europeans did to their colonies.
Like I said, why not just admit that you were incorrect? You tried to accuse me of something which wasn't chronologically supported within our conversation (comment #367). Instead of admitting that you were mistaken you've just doubled down and tried to throw out a bunch of non-related arguments. See below:Do you agree or not? I’m just trying to clarify your position. You’re the one that didn’t even know the definition of white supremacy.
Why not just admit that you were incorrect? Or barring that, if you’re not willing to lose face by admitting that then why not just drop the point completely? Its absurd that you keep trying to rehash your point in a way that makes it look like you werent wrong.
--------------------------------------------------------LOL. We already covered this buddy back in comment #316 where I asked you to define what you consider as a white supremacist. You’re trying to claim that im wrong while forgetting the fact that when I gave you the 60-70% figure I was explicitly using my own definition of a white supremacist. You didn’t provide your definition of what you considered a white supremacist until after that post. You’re trying to claim im wrong but your logic is chronologically messed up.
A white supremacist would want the return of colonialism. You claimed that up to 60-70% of race realists could be white supremacists, but not even all race realists are white nationalists, yet alone white supremacists.
Oh boy...https://www.collinsdictionary.com/us/dictionary/english/white-supremacy
You’re the one that didn’t even know the definition of white supremacy.

the belief that white people are better than people of other races
There are multiple definitions of white supremacy. The definition that I was originally referring to is a valid usage of the term white supremacy. Why didn't you bother looking up the word white supremacy in a few different dictionaries before making your claim? lol. It appears that the one who doesnt even know the definition of white supremacy is you. I at least knew that there were different definitions of white supremacy and was intelligent enough to realize that we could have been talking over each other due to a semantic misunderstanding. (comment #316).
3) white people have their own "culture" that is superior to other cultures; 4) white people are genetically superior to other people.
But many normal whites arent consistently making claims about colonization being bad like you are. Most normal whites hardly ever talk or think about this. If they are indifferent to colonization then its pointless to hold them up to this same standard that I would hold to someone who "claims" to be against colonization. For people like yourself OTOH its quite different. Since you consistently claim that colonization is so bad, its hypocritical for you to condone certain instances of colonization and condemn others. You have to live up to your own moral standards. I don't hold politically indifferent normal whites to the same standards that I hold political ideologues like you to.Not even normal whites would undo what happened in the new world. Don’t exactly see very many Americans, Canadians, or Latin American whites giving their land to Amerindians and moving to Europe, do you? But remember, white nationalists don’t want a repeatof what happened to the Amerindians. Posting this again.
So…you think that white nationalists (IE american white nationalists) only regret colonization and would undo it as long as it was colonization which they didn’t benefit from (africa and asian colonization) even though the worst of colonization happened in the new world. So much for your moral superiority
https://www.counter-currents.com/2017/10/the-autochthony-argument-2/
Of course you dont want a repeat of what happened to the ameridians because this time its your own chestnuts in the fire. Keep in mind that the points made in this essay don't matter in the real world. In the real world all that matters is power. Just because you think that whites might have a right to exist, or at least a right to not be genocided because of their past, it doesn't actually matter; what matters is power and the ability to survive. Whites overpowered the amerindians and took their land, now jews are overpowering the west. There is nothing fair or unfair about this, its simply how things are. An essay arguing against autochthony doesn't change this. Also it bears repeating since you didnt seem to address this point:
https://www.counter-currents.com/2017/10/the-autochthony-argument-2/
The truth is, you don't speak for all white nationalists and you can't prove that you do in spite of your proclamations to the contrary.
this is your supposition, but like any political group there will be a lot of diversity in terms of political opinions. I would say that there are a decent amount of white nationalists who think that colonialism was justified, not the majority, but definitely a decent number in my experience. Furthermore I assume that you are a strong believer in the counter-currents brand of white nationalism, this is my impression given what you’ve said so far and the fact that you linked one of their articles earlier, however that being said, counter currents does not speak for all white nationalists (nobody does), counter-currents only speaks for its own brand of white nationalism. I think you basically assume that just because the people in your own white nationalist bubble don’t think colonialism was justified then this means that all white nationalists must feel this way, but like I said, there is a lot of diversity in any political group and white nationalism is no exception, its folly to speak with such certainty of all white nationalists feeling one way or another on a given topic.
But in your last response you were engaging in exactly the kind of behavior that ive been consistently accusing white nationalists of doing:I freely admit that colonialism in Africa, Asia, and what is now Latin America was wrong. What happened in the U.S. and Canada is different as it involved nomadic tribes and settlers. And there is the fact almost all land belonged to someone else at some point. Can you steal what was already stolen?
most white advocates ive encountered make endless rationalizations for colonization instead of arguing against it and just admitting it was wrong, including you. There are maybe like 0.05% of white advocates who will admit that european colonization was morally wrong, the rest will make flimsy apologetic arguments for it or will even be proud of it.
Its only in your latest response that you "freely admit" that colonialism in africa, asia, latin america was wrong without trying to justfiy it, but in your previous reponse you were still trying to throw out rationalizations and justifications for it. Likewise you're still trying to throw out rationalizations for colonization; what happened in the US and canada was quite similar, the amerindians functionally had a homeland and they were pushed off of it. End of story.
I certainly would, but would the Africans and Asians? Many Africans think Africa would be more advanced and developed today without European colonialism. However, I don’t know if they truly believe that given the differences between countries that were colonized and those that weren’t. The situation in the Americas was different because it involved settler colonialism and the creation of new nations.
Excellent point, the same logic applies to all of the immigrants (legal and otherwise) in western countries. This land formerly belonged to whites and now much of it belongs to non-white immigrants. So why are you mad about all of this? If its ok for the native americans to be dispossessed of their lands (regardless of the means), then why does it make you so mad when whites are gradually displaced from their lands? Its the same principle
And there is the fact almost all land belonged to someone else at some point. Can you steal what was already stolen?
I happen to disagree, but regardless of whether or not im actually guilty of this, it has no bearing on the fact that you are guilty of the following:
But don’t try to act like you’re better. You do the same exact thing trying to make excuses for Chinese wrongdoings.
whether or not I try to make excuses for chinese wrongdoings has no bearing on the truthiness of my original claim.
most white advocates ive encountered make endless rationalizations for colonization instead of arguing against it and just admitting it was wrong, including you. There are maybe like 0.05% of white advocates who will admit that european colonization was morally wrong, the rest will make flimsy apologetic arguments for it or will even be proud of it.
so...you can't disprove what I said lol. You wanted to make a pithy argument:And by arguing against white nationalists, it seems you have chosen your side.
Regardless of whether you think that you are justified and righteous, what ultimately matters is power. Jews currently have power and the west does not. This is the story of human history. The very same reasoning you apply to the amerindians can be equally applied to the west.
and you ended up getting hoisted by your own petard. niceReplies: @FvSYou are right about this. We live in a harsh universe. It doesn’t matter how ethical or unethical somebody is, all that ultimately matters is power. In the past western europeans fought and the amerindians lost, likewise in the present jews are fighting and the west is losing. Regardless of whether you think that you are justified and righteous, what ultimately matters is power. Jews currently have power and the west does not. This is the story of human history. The very same reasoning you apply to the amerindians can be equally applied to the west.
We fought, and they lost. It’s the story of human history (including the Amerindians), and while it’s regrettable that so many died, all we can really do now is try to make sure it doesn’t happen again.

I was clarifying my own position. Re-read everything I wrote. Why is it that you have such bad reading comprehension?
I’m the one that said that “all races would would have done the same in our position.” You never made any claim like that, so who else would I have thought that your comment was directed towards, lol…
This just supports my point, the word race is very hazy sometimes and has different applications and meanings. In many cases race can be interchangeable with ethnicity, as you alluded to in your example about different types of jews. You could just as easily say that these different "races" of jews are actually sub-ethnicities of a broader overarching ethnicity too.
Ashkenazi, Sephardic and Mizrahi Jews are racially distinct from other caucasoid groups. That is not to say they are their own race as in caucasoid, mongoloid, negroid, etc. At most, they are a sub-race of a sub-race. But when I speak of Jewish racial consciousness, I’m referring to the genetic aspect of what it means to be a Jew.
Like I said, I understood your analogy but its pretty confusing in terms of race/ethnicity. You could been consistent and talked about everything on a racial level but instead chose to talk about races and ethnicities while using the same analogy.No, I wasn’t mixing analogies. You just misunderstood. I only debated about the Mings because I figured they were one of the Mongolian or Japanese Imperialist types. But it turns out I was wrong there.
You were mixing your analogies in this situation. On one hand you were talking about races in a broad sense and whites being ethnically cleansed from their homelands but then you turned around and started listing various ethnicities instead of being consistent and referring to them on a racial level. I understand your analogy but its pretty confusing in terms of race/ethnicity. You can’t really accuse me of trying to steer the debate when you weren’t always precise about your usage of race as well. The argument about the ming dynasty that I was advocating seemed pretty consistent with our loose usage of race at the time. In fact you were happy to debate and didn’t say anything about the loose definition of race for quite a few comments until you clarified it in comment #271.
not necessarily. Again, you're trying to pass of a presumptive statement as objective fact. If the mings had wanted the same things as the spanish then they could have just traded for it instead, this is of course assuming that they had wanted the same things as the spanish to begin with; which is yet another one of your baseless conjectures that you try to pass off as fact.I’m saying that because that is what the Spanish wanted. So if the Mings had wanted the same things as the Spanish, they would have had to use similar methods.
you’re making a large assumption here though. Who said that they would have wanted control over production? What supports your assumption? You’re just trying to move goalposts here.
LOL. This is what you originally wrote:Yes, it did. I specifically referred to white nationalists only. White nationalists are not racial supremacists, so there is no contradiction. The actions of past white supremacists have nothing to do with modern white nationalists fighting against modern Jewish supremacism. Why is it that you have such bad reading comprehension?
You were claiming that I was stating that whites are hypocritical for criticizing jewish supremacy taking place in the present when I was actually stating that white nationalists are the ones who are hypocritical. Your rambling reponse didn’t address this at all.
In your original statement (comment #382) you claimed that I said that modern whites are collectively guilty for being racial supremacists in the past and so are hypocritical for criticizing jewish supremacy taking place in the present. You were trying to claim that I said that modern whites (not white nationalists) are being hypocritical about this, you didn't say anything about white nationalists until the last line, therefore its normal for me to assume that you were originally talking about modern whites to begin with and not white nationalists. Perhaps you miswrote something, but this is on you and not on me. Why do you have such bad reading comprehension?You literally said that modern whites are collectively guilty for being racial supremacists in the past and so are hypocritical for criticizing Jewish supremacy taking place in the present. So white nationalists should just shut up about it and accept their fate.
Why do white nationalists always criticize jews by claiming that jews are racial supremacists that seek world domination? This is the pot calling the kettle black; whites literally thought and acted this way for over five centuries, the only race that actually desired to dominate the entire world and succeeded in doing so was whites. Why do white nationalists have such an appalling lack of self awareness?
so you can't find where I made that kind of argument then, that's why you have to keep dodging my question.Replies: @FvSAre you retarded? If you don’t think we deserve our fate, then stfu the next time a white nationalist calls out Jewish supremacism.
So…you can’t find where I made this kind of argument then? Its telling because if I did make this argument in this thread then it would be easy to find, but instead you can only resort to trying to stretch an argument that is based entirely on your assumption.
the moral weight of regional colonialism vis a vis global colonialism is irrelevant here, the point is that your original retort missed the mark (comment #384). You obviously were aware of this too, that's why you're trying to evade this fact and instead bring up off-topic moral abstractionsIs colonizing a neighbor morally superior to colonizing someone on a different continent? I guess you could make the argument that it’s worse in terms of preserving global diversity of peoples and cultures since neighboring countries tend to be more racially and culturally similar.
I was always referring to global colonization, it was you who took it out of context (not surprisingly). You tried to use the xinjiang and tibet situation against me and I told you that you can’t use it against me since I always admitted that china practiced regional dominance/colonization.
https://www.unz.com/avltchek/march-of-the-uyghurs/that's a good place to get started. Its really not that hard to find information about that topic, but im pretty sure that you weren't looking that hard to begin with. Also its funny how "naive" you sound with regards to the CIA's objectives regarding tibet. What are the chances that a white nationalist who is redpilled on the jew question would be completely bluepilled regarding the CIA? I would say slim to none, you just want to frame the CIA's actions as being innocuous in order to support your side in the debate. Funny how this is coming from someone who wrote this in an earlier comment in this very thread:Proof? It seems all they wanted was to free Tibet from communist control.
If china did this then the CIA would move in in earnest and then fully utilize xinjiang and tibet as a launching pads for terrorists or other disruptive actions towards china.
so um...america is just trying to spread democracy in tibet right? That's why they're trying to free them right? lmao you have no principles dude, you'll just say whatever in this debate in order to try to not look wrong.
U.S. foreign policy is controlled by Jewish neocons and their goy minions. And the wars are hardly neo-colonialist adventures but are fought for the interest of Israeli national security and regional dominance. Or if you believe the media propaganda (like many Americans do), they are fought to protect us from terror attacks and to spread democracy.
So the point is that your original response was off the mark. You wanted to make the argument that the europeans willingly gave away their colonies so that they could be free but I showed you that the actual history behind decolonization was more complex than what you were suggesting and not simply a voluntary act of goodwill by europeans. Whether I oppose chinese colonialism or not has nothing to do with the fact that your original point was wrong.So? Do you oppose Chinese colonialism or not?
The europeans didnt always willingly give up their colonies, the reality of the situation was much more complex than how you’re trying to represent it.
Never said it did. However, it does mean that what china did couldn't really be considered a classic colonial act, which was the point all along. You were trying to suggest that china was colonizing tibet by using the great leap forward and the cultural revolution as examples while ignoring the fact that these events affected everyone in china and not just tibetans (comment #353). It was a travesty of course, but it doesn't support your argument.So? That doesn’t excuse what the Chinese did.
you didn’t disprove my original point though, everybody got hurt during this time period. Your point would be more valid if only the tibetans got hurt, but china was fighting against itself during this time period and destroying everything, even its own culture.
So is this rationalwiki page for 9/11 conspiracy theories:https://rationalwiki.org/wiki/9/11I bring up 9/11 because im pretty sure that a jew wise white nationalist would disbelieve the official 9/11 story. With that being said, this rationalwiki article is pretty thorough, guess that means its right huh. Anyways im sticking to my original stance and remaining agnostic regarding the falun-gong organ trafficking allegation. Whether its true or not is irrelevant to our overarching debate, you just want to discuss it so that you can sidetrack things.That wiki article is pretty thorough.
like I said its hard to say how bad it really is and whats actually going on due to all of the disinformation going around. Who knows if organ harvesting is really going on or not. I found this regarding the falun gong organ harvesting situation:
You fell for an obvious disinformation meme that took literally 1-2 minutes of googling to debunk.Chinese are colonizing Africa. Many Chinese are racist towards Africans. China is an authoritarian communist dictatorship that restrains people in metal interrogation chairs for criticizing minor government policies online. Not so obvious.
Remember, you were the one who fell for an obvious disinformation meme lol
Its not though. In comment #367 I wrote the following:
And like I said, there is a difference between pointing out silver linings and thinking something was right. I did find this though.How interesting… It seems I’m getting two contradictory points of view from you given what you said a post above.
They condone colonialism in the past, which strongly suggests that they would condone its return in the future if conditions were right. Ive been following this movement for a long time bud, I know how you guys actually think
You were trying to insist that just because somebody thinks that something is justified then they would want to see its return; this is a line of reasoning that you kept trying to advocate in multiple comments; my response to you was to demonstrate that your reasoning is not necessarily correct since under some circumstances somebody can think something was justified without wanting to see it happen again. Since you insisted on promoting this reasoning, I had to show you circumstances under which this reasoning would not apply. Just because I had to demonstrate the flaw in your reasoning does not necessarily mean that I support this reasoning myself. You were the one who was trying to force this argument, not me. Additionally, what I originally wrote is not contradictory with the quoted comment anyways because my reasoning was very conditional:sometimes but not necessarily. Some people think the nuclear bombings of japan were justified but that doesn’t mean that they want to see it happen again. Your reasoning is really simplistic
And you still don’t seem to understand the concept of silver linings. Obviously, if you think something is justified, that it is right, you would probably want to see its return.
I still agree with this quote. I think that if the conditions were right then alt-righters (who I was referring to in the original comment) would condone the return of colonialism. Key word "if the conditions were right".
They condone colonialism in the past, which strongly suggests that they would condone its return in the future if conditions were right. Ive been following this movement for a long time bud, I know how you guys actually think
That doesn't disprove my point though:
Reduced language barriers make it easier for certain immigrants, but plenty of immigrants still come with little to no knowledge of their host nations language.
Literally billions of third worlders are familiar with western culture and western languages due to the legacy of colonialism. That's a lot of people, there is no way to deny this. The fact that they are familiar with western culture and western languages makes it easier for them to integrate into western society period. There are potentially billions of third worlders who want to immigrate to western countries due to their shared languages and cultures as a result of colonialism. Not only that but you need to consider the religious aspect as well. Due to colonialism, christianity was spread throughout the entire world, consequently these religious ties are used to justify multiculturalism and mass immigration.https://www.catholiccharitiesusa.org/our-ministry/immigration-refugee-services/
if it wasnt for european colonization then billions of third worlders wouldnt be so familiar with western culture and western languages. Due to billions of third worlders being so familiar with western culture and western languages it makes it that much easier for them to immigrate to and integrate into western societies. Notice how a ton of the UK’s immigrants are from its former colonies? The same goes for france too
In 2018, 108 Catholic Charities agencies helped welcome and integrate over 300,000 immigrants, refugees, and asylees.
This is conjecture, you don't know what would have happened had colonialism never happened. The world would look entirely different had colonialism never happened. Keep in mind that the US, canada and a bunch of countries wouldn't even exist anymore if colonialism had never happened. Just this factor alone means that mass immigration would be significantly curtailed since some of the countries that we now know wouldn't exist in the first place to receive mass immigration. The entire modern world and even how we think and perceive the world and the people in it is based upon the legacy of colonialism. The point youre trying to make is basically unprovable and rests on so many assumptions (various causal assumptions need to be made to replace the role of colonialism or its legacy) about how an alternative form of globalization would have occurred that you might as well be writing fiction.
I would say globalization and mass immigration have been exacerbated by colonialism, but would likely still exist had it never existed in Europe. Technology would still have connected the world, and Jewish supremacists would still hate whites.
The unspoken corollary of historic mass european immigration is that present and future mass immigration is justified as well. Had the west not colonized the entire world and subsequently supplied millions of immigrants then this reasoning would no longer apply. Anyways its beyond obvious to me that the reason you softpedal western europeans colonizing the entire world is not due to any factual objection to it but rather because you want to deny or avoid anything which casts whites in a bad light. Your motives are extremely transparent. Also you believe in this reasoning yourself, you wrote this in comment #272:
Most arguments used in favor of mass immigration these days don’t even bring up the subject of colonialism. Usually they are along the lines of it’s good for the economy, diversity makes us stronger, it’s our moral duty to help them escape their terrible home countries, blah, blah, blah…
You yourself are stating here that jews use colonialism to help justify their "genocidal" policies. Therefore you show awareness that the west's history of colonialism can be used against it in certain ways.Replies: @FvS
Jews and a hostile power elite are the primary instigators. Colonialism is just one of many excuses they use to justify their genocidal policies.
the moral weight of regional colonialism vis a vis global colonialism is irrelevant here, the point is that your original retort missed the mark (comment #384>
I disagree. If regional colonialism is just as bad as global colonialism, your precious Chinese don’t look so hot.
. Also its funny how “naive” you sound with regards to the CIA’s objectives regarding tibet.
I suspect the truth lies somewhere in the middle, and I don’t trust the CIA or the Chinese government. But I doubt the CIA want Tibet and Xinjiang independent so they could launch terrorist attacks at mainland China from those areas. That’s just ridiculous.
so um…america is just trying to spread democracy in tibet right? That’s why they’re trying to free them right? lmao you have no principles dude, you’ll just say whatever in this debate in order to try to not look wrong.
I never said it was to spread democracy, but that doesn’t mean they were doing it so they could train Tibetan terrorists to go run amok in the rest of China.
Never said it did. However, it does mean that what china did couldn’t really be considered a classic colonial act, which was the point all along. You were trying to suggest that china was colonizing tibet by using the great leap forward and the cultural revolution as examples while ignoring the fact that these events affected everyone in china and not just tibetans (comment #353). It was a travesty of course, but it doesn’t support your argument.
The Chinese have been colonizing Tibet for a time. Anything they do in Tibet is a colonizing act, including what they did during the Cultural Revolution.
With that being said, this rationalwiki article is pretty thorough, guess that means its right huh. Anyways im sticking to my original stance and remaining agnostic regarding the falun-gong organ trafficking allegation. Whether its true or not is irrelevant to our overarching debate, you just want to discuss it so that you can sidetrack things.
Lmao, rationalwiki… Jesus dude, have some self-awareness.
You fell for an obvious disinformation meme that took literally 1-2 minutes of googling to debunk.
I already showed why it wasn’t obvious. The only reason anyone believed it is because of the actions of the Chinese have made it seem credible.
You were trying to insist that just because somebody thinks that something is justified then they would want to see its return
I said they would probably want to see its return.
Just because I had to demonstrate the flaw in your reasoning does not necessarily mean that I support this reasoning myself.
Haha, nice cope.
I think that if the conditions were right then alt-righters (who I was referring to in the original comment) would condone the return of colonialism.
Then you would be wrong.
Nothing I said was contradictory, you just misunderstood everything.
Your conditional statements are cop out. How about you be more specific? What would the conditions have to be for white nationalists to support colonialism again?
Literally billions of third worlders are familiar with western culture and western languages due to the legacy of colonialism. That’s a lot of people, there is no way to deny this. The fact that they are familiar with western culture and western languages makes it easier for them to integrate into western society period.

Not only that but you need to consider the religious aspect as well. Due to colonialism, christianity was spread throughout the entire world, consequently these religious ties are used to justify multiculturalism and mass immigration.
There are a lot Chinese, Koreans, Thais, Japanese, in the West and they were never colonized. Christianity has exacerbated things, I agree.

Technology still would have connected the world and European countries would still be better than many non-white countries. I doubt the Amerindians would have formed very advanced societies, but you never know. Cannabalism was a cultural institution when we met them.

So do you think white genocide is justified or not? Get your story straight. And I haven’t softpedalled anything. I just don’t believe in assigning collective guilt to present whites for the actions of past whites. That’s an incredibly unjust concept. And I also don’t believe in singling out whites when the other races have also done terrible things.
You yourself are stating here that jews use colonialism to help justify their “genocidal” policies. Therefore you show awareness that the west’s history of colonialism can be used against it in certain ways.
Yes, but I never said it was the sole reason for what is happening now. It is only one of many.
I never claimed otherwise. My point of contention was that you put forth a flawed argument and instead of admitting that the argument was flawed, you continued to push through with it and move the goalposts. Your point is correct, however it is one factor out of many. The fact that a large comparative advantage may have existed for the europeans and the indigenous people they encountered vis a vis the chinese is significant however it does not negate the fact that HBD/cultural factors were also probably significant as well. The chinese simply appear to have had different priorities/styles when it came to dominating/colonizing others, I really don't know why its so hard for you to accept that HBD/culture is a significant factor in this and if you DO accept that HBD/culture is a significant factor in this then we actually have nothing to argue about anymore since this was my original point anyways.
I was wrong to say that the Mings didn’t have any technological superiority over the Malacca Sultanate and Kotte. I should have been more specific as to the degree of technological advantage I was referring to.
I was right to say that the Chinese never had the same advantages that the Europeans had. The degree of technological advantage is relevant because it changes your calculations of how much you can exert your dominance.
Your original point wasnt about why or how the malacca sultanate and kotte eventually came to be colonized, your original point was about whether or not they were worth being colonized at all. See here:
It seems they initially came for trade , were attacked by the Muslims in Malacca, and then won Malacca as a result of the conflict. As for Kotte, they also came for trade and then were enlisted to fight in an intra-kingdom war. Then their influence grew, and they took over from there. As far as I can tell, they didn’t do anything worse than the Mings did in terms of their treatment of the Kotte people.
You wanted to suggest that maybe kotte and malacca weren't worth colonizing and I provided evidence that kotte and malacca were at least deemed worthy of colonizing by the portuguese. The fact that the portuguese considered malacca and kotte worth of colonizing (regardless of how or why they ended up colonizing it) weakens your original argument.
2.) Again, wanting a vassal state and wanting a country’s natural resources are two different things that require different methods. We don’t know if Kotte and Malacca would have been worth colonizing in the first place. If they weren’t, then that could be a reason why the Chinese did not.
Your argument is based on the assumption that china is colonizing africa in the first place. Are they truly colonizing africa in the european sense or are you just claiming this? According to my knowledge of whats going on, china is helping to build up infrastructure in africa as well as providing training and education to africans in exchange for minerals, natural resources, marketshare etc. Seems like they're basically trading with them, one thing for another.
Perhaps. Mongoloids and americoids look similar so that probably would have helped as well. But you might ask China today why go through all the trouble of what they’re doing in Africa when they could just trade with them.
One could make an argument for this. That being said, it doesn't negate the fact that western europeans have historically shown a greater penchant for global colonization (actual, forcible colonization) compared to the chinese, which was the original point. Just because american actions related to the concept of manifest destiny could potentially be considered as a regional matter doesn't disprove or somehow negate the long, established history of western european global colonization.
I wonder if Manifest Destiny related actions in America would qualify as a regional matter once the initial colonies were established.
This doesn't disprove my point though. Secondly, if you insist on moving into a strange neighborhood then you are potentially courting danger. The english settlers would have been silly to expect otherwise.
True, but the very first few English settlers were massacred by the Amerindians, and they hadn’t even reached large numbers yet. It wasn’t a very good way to start off the relationship.
The problem is that you see the world through a purely racial lense, however nobody else thinks this way. I think this is an american, in particular an american white nationalist way of seeing things. My impression is that most people in the world value their own ethnicity/culture over what race they belong to. Therefore, I think its a poor argument that colonizing local indigenous tribes is worse simply because they're your racial kin. The fact that there have been so many internecine, racially fratricidal wars across the entire world is a strong argument against the notion that people value the concept of an overarching race over their ethnicity.I would almost argue that it’s worse since it involves the killing of racial kin.
This is different than european colonists randomly showing up some day and then going on to colonize people they had no prior history with. Indigenous tribes that are inhabiting your country itself or the nearby region and could create issues/rebellions != indigenous tribes in a far away land that have zero effect on your country.
This is a dishonest way of presenting my argument. I have basically been making the argument that familiarity occasionally breeds contempt. The longer you have been acquainted with someone the greater the chances are that there could be some events that happen which create positive feelings, negative feelings or some combination of the two. My original point was very reasonable, you however are being purposely dense on this point because it isnt compatible with your political convictions. Anyways, I would absolutely argue that it is worse to kill people that you have never met and have no negative history with than it is to kill some people that you have a negative/stressful history with. To make this point more relatable to you, I will put it this way:
You seem to think killing people you’ve been connected to in some way for a long time is better than killing complete strangers.
I never claimed it was a fact though. Here is what I wrote:
Okay, but it still hasn’t been proven because what’s “normal” in this situation? How do we measure it and take into account technological advantages? After all, achieving an empire is not just a matter of want, but also capability.
I said it appears that western europeans demonstrate a much higher inclination and tendency to want to dominate and rule over others, I didnt say that this was a proven fact. In order to back up this assertion I referenced the fact that there is 500 years of observation to support this assertion. Now of course you can claim that something like a higher inclination to want to dominate others is "unmeasurable", however this doesn't change the fact that western europeans were happy to dominate the world for over five centuries; the fact that they bothered doing this at all (not an easy enterprise) definitely suggests that there was an element of inclination or desire to want to rule and dominate. To suggest otherwise would be absurd.
We’ve had over five centuries to observe the behavior of whites, it appears that western europeans (so not necessarily all whites, which is a clumsy term in this context) demonstrate a much higher inclination and tendency to want to dominate and rule over others. If you can’t trust over 500 years of observation regarding a specific racial group then what can you trust?
they are a good counterpoint to western europeans too. Otherwise you would have proven my point wrong already instead of having to drag this conversation out for two weeks without being able to conclusively prove that I was wrong. Our entire conversation and your continual habit of having to backtrack or amend your arguments is a testament to that. This is why you have to resort to you argument about it being impossible to "quantify" the advantage that western europeans had. This is literally your only argument left, all your other attempts to argue that the chinese would have done the same as western europeans have been disproved or seriously weakened. More importantly, even if the mings were in the position of western europeans then you still don't know how they would act, anything you say is basically conjecture at that point.
They are a good counterpoint to, say, the Mongolians or the Japanese. But I never said that every ethnicity would necessarily act like Western Europeans, it was just a broad claim about all races. And the Mings were certainly never in our position, which would include a multitude of factors like the ones I listed earlier. Nevertheless, I don’t really regret debating the topic since I did learn more about them.
My original point was correct, your response doesn't address the reality of what actually happened. The fact that you insist on trying to claim otherwise demonstrates how unwilling you are to be objective about facts and history.Well, at some point we did because we still could if we wanted to.
Actually with regards to colonialism it isn’t practiced anymore because WW1 and WW2 broke the west’s back and basically forced them to abandon their colonial possessions. Its not like the west en masse decided out of the goodness of their hearts that they werent going to practice colonialism anymore.
Why not just admit that you were incorrect? Or barring that, if you're not willing to lose face by admitting that then why not just drop the point completely? Its absurd that you keep trying to rehash your point in a way that makes it look like you werent wrong.White nationalism is not white supremacy. White nationalists don’t want to rule over the other races. Very few white supremacists exist today. Agreed?
Your response is a non-sequitur
this is your supposition, but like any political group there will be a lot of diversity in terms of political opinions. I would say that there are a decent amount of white nationalists who think that colonialism was justified, not the majority, but definitely a decent number in my experience. Furthermore I assume that you are a strong believer in the counter-currents brand of white nationalism, this is my impression given what you've said so far and the fact that you linked one of their articles earlier, however that being said, counter currents does not speak for all white nationalists (nobody does), counter-currents only speaks for its own brand of white nationalism. I think you basically assume that just because the people in your own white nationalist bubble don't think colonialism was justified then this means that all white nationalists must feel this way, but like I said, there is a lot of diversity in any political group and white nationalism is no exception, its folly to speak with such certainty of all white nationalists feeling one way or another on a given topic.
And since hardly any white nationalists actually do think colonialism was justified in the first place, it’s really a non-issue.
Like I said, most white nationalists ive encountered make endless excuses and rationalizations for colonialism instead of just admitting it was wrong. What im claiming is not mutually exclusive with what you're claiming. They can be one and the same.
Like I said earlier, when white nationalists speak of colonialism it’s usually to say that it wasn’t as bad as claimed, it actually benefited those colonized to a certain extent, or they point out that only white countries are targeted for mass immigration because of their pasts.
So...you think that white nationalists (IE american white nationalists) only regret colonization and would undo it as long as it was colonization which they didn't benefit from (africa and asian colonization) even though the worst of colonization happened in the new world. So much for your moral superiority
But I still think most would undo the colonization of Africa and Asia if they could, especially since many of the colonies were a net drain on state revenue.
Like I've been saying this entire time:
I certainly would, but would the Africans and Asians? Many Africans think Africa would be more advanced and developed today without European colonialism. However, I don’t know if they truly believe that given the differences between countries that were colonized and those that weren’t. The situation in the Americas was different because it involved settler colonialism and the creation of new nations.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
most white advocates ive encountered make endless rationalizations for colonization instead of arguing against it and just admitting it was wrong, including you. There are maybe like 0.05% of white advocates who will admit that european colonization was morally wrong, the rest will make flimsy apologetic arguments for it or will even be proud of it.
You are right about this. We live in a harsh universe. It doesn't matter how ethical or unethical somebody is, all that ultimately matters is power. In the past western europeans fought and the amerindians lost, likewise in the present jews are fighting and the west is losing. Regardless of whether you think that you are justified and righteous, what ultimately matters is power. Jews currently have power and the west does not. This is the story of human history. The very same reasoning you apply to the amerindians can be equally applied to the west.Replies: @FvS
We fought, and they lost. It’s the story of human history (including the Amerindians), and while it’s regrettable that so many died, all we can really do now is try to make sure it doesn’t happen again.

The chinese simply appear to have had different priorities/styles when it came to dominating/colonizing others, I really don’t know why its so hard for you to accept that HBD/culture is a significant factor in this and if you DO accept that HBD/culture is a significant factor in this then we actually have nothing to argue about anymore since this was my original point anyways.
I do and always have.
Your original point wasnt about why or how the malacca sultanate and kotte eventually came to be colonized, your original point was about whether or not they were worth being colonized at all.
To the Chinese. The Portuguese obviously had different needs since they were looking to trade with the region while being very far from home.
Your argument is based on the assumption that china is colonizing africa in the first place. Are they truly colonizing africa in the european sense or are you just claiming this? According to my knowledge of whats going on, china is helping to build up infrastructure in africa as well as providing training and education to africans in exchange for minerals, natural resources, marketshare etc. Seems like they’re basically trading with them, one thing for another.
I didn’t claim they were colonizing Africa in the European sense. There is more than one way to skin a cat. That being said, the Europeans also built up infrastructure and provided training and education to the Africans.
Just because american actions related to the concept of manifest destiny could potentially be considered as a regional matter doesn’t disprove or somehow negate the long, established history of western european global colonization.
Didn’t say it did.
This doesn’t disprove my point though. Secondly, if you insist on moving into a strange neighborhood then you are potentially courting danger. The english settlers would have been silly to expect otherwise.
They hadn’t even begun to settle large numbers though before they were attacked. It wasn’t like the English just showed up and started killing Amerindians in order to take “their” land. As for the Spanish, it was the brutality of the Aztecs that caused other tribes to enlist the help of the Spanish in overthrowing Aztec rule.
My impression is that most people in the world value their own ethnicity/culture over what race they belong to.
They only care about ethnicity more when there’s a situation involving racially similar ethnicities. Add another race into the mix and race becomes more important again.
The fact that there have been so many internecine, racially fratricidal wars across the entire world is a strong argument against the notion that people value the concept of an overarching race over their ethnicity.
Proximity.
Anyways, I would absolutely argue that it is worse to kill people that you have never met and have no negative history with than it is to kill some people that you have a negative/stressful history with.
If they’ve actually done something to you in the past, but just being in close proximity with someone does not make killing them better. For example, it would be worse for the Mings to have killed Malaccans than, say, Mongolians. But China was the aggressor against the Vietnamese. In that case, I don’t see how you can argue that it is somehow better for them to have killed Vietnamese over the hypothetical killing of Malaccans. And if a neighbor is an ally, I would say it’s worse to kill them as opposed to a stranger.
Most white nationalists and most likely you yourself would be in favor of destroying all jewish culture given the negative events and history that have transpired between jews and western gentiles as opposed to destroying the culture of some ethnicity you have never met, which you would probably consider immoral. That being said, going by your own logic that youre trying to argue in favor of, it would be nonsensical to want to destroy jewish culture as a white nationalist even in light of the history and context behind the strained relationship between jews and the west and it would be no more justifiable than destroying the culture of some ethnicity you’ve never met. Do you understand the flaw in your reasoning now?
I don’t want to destroy the Jews. I just want the diaspora to relocate to Israel and leave us alone. And again, it matters who the aggressor is.
My original point was correct, your response doesn’t address the reality of what actually happened. The fact that you insist on trying to claim otherwise demonstrates how unwilling you are to be objective about facts and history.
Europeans have the power and the money to recolonize Africa if they wanted to. What’s stopping us if not a changed attitude towards colonialism?
Why not just admit that you were incorrect? Or barring that, if you’re not willing to lose face by admitting that then why not just drop the point completely? Its absurd that you keep trying to rehash your point in a way that makes it look like you werent wrong.
Do you agree or not? I’m just trying to clarify your position. You’re the one that didn’t even know the definition of white supremacy.
I would say that there are a decent amount of white nationalists who think that colonialism was justified, not the majority, but definitely a decent number in my experience.
My experience is the opposite, and I actually am a white nationalist, not someone claiming to “be around” the movement and yet doesn’t know the difference between white nationalism and white supremacy.
So…you think that white nationalists (IE american white nationalists) only regret colonization and would undo it as long as it was colonization which they didn’t benefit from (africa and asian colonization) even though the worst of colonization happened in the new world. So much for your moral superiority
Not even normal whites would undo what happened in the new world. Don’t exactly see very many Americans, Canadians, or Latin American whites giving their land to Amerindians and moving to Europe, do you? But remember, white nationalists don’t want a repeatof what happened to the Amerindians. Posting this again.

There are maybe like 0.05% of white advocates who will admit that european colonization was morally wrong, the rest will make flimsy apologetic arguments for it or will even be proud of it.
I freely admit that colonialism in Africa, Asia, and what is now Latin America was wrong. What happened in the U.S. and Canada is different as it involved nomadic tribes and settlers. And there is the fact almost all land belonged to someone else at some point. Can you steal what was already stolen? But don’t try to act like you’re better. You do the same exact thing trying to make excuses for Chinese wrongdoings.
Regardless of whether you think that you are justified and righteous, what ultimately matters is power. Jews currently have power and the west does not. This is the story of human history. The very same reasoning you apply to the amerindians can be equally applied to the west.
And by arguing against white nationalists, it seems you have chosen your side.
And risk tanking our own economy too? I highly doubt it. The U.S. is still too dependent on trade from China.
I doubt Trump had anything to do with it. Why risk disrupting the world economy with an election just around the corner? Plus, I don’t think he’s even capable of ordering something like that. If it was the U.S., it would have to have been some deep state black op done without the president’s knowledge.
I was wrong to say that the Mings didn't have any technological superiority over the Malacca Sultanate and Kotte. I should have been more specific as to the degree of technological advantage I was referring to. I was right to say that the Chinese never had the same advantages that the Europeans had. The degree of technological advantage is relevant because it changes your calculations of how much you can exert your dominance.
The point is not whether or not europeans may have had a much greater technological advantage over the indigenous people that they encountered vis a vis the chinese; whether this is true or not is immaterial to the point at hand. The point is that you were originally making the argument that the chinese were technologically inferior (and this is well supported by your own text), and you were ultimately proven wrong.
It seems they initially came for trade , were attacked by the Muslims in Malacca, and then won Malacca as a result of the conflict. As for Kotte, they also came for trade and then were enlisted to fight in an intra-kingdom war. Then their influence grew, and they took over from there. As far as I can tell, they didn't do anything worse than the Mings did in terms of their treatment of the Kotte people.
well apparently the portuguese saw fit to colonize malacca and kotte
Perhaps. Mongoloids and americoids look similar so that probably would have helped as well. But you might ask China today why go through all the trouble of what they're doing in Africa when they could just trade with them.
In other words, the mings probably would have met with the amerindians and traded with them. By entering into the chinese tribute system, the amerindian civilizations would get access to trading rights with china...Why go through all that trouble when you can just trade with the people? It would probably be a similar arrangement to what happened in malacca
I wonder if Manifest Destiny related actions in America would qualify as a regional matter once the initial colonies were established.
As for vietnam this was a regional matter and china has historically been deeply interested in regional matters as I have written numerous times before, the same goes for the miao rebellions which happened within the heart of the ming dynasty itself.
True, but the very first few English settlers were massacred by the Amerindians, and they hadn't even reached large numbers yet. It wasn't a very good way to start off the relationship.
The amerindians were extremely vicious to settlers, but the chinese were never that interested in setting up colonies. I dont deny that some amerindians might have still been vicious to hypothetical ming visitors, but you yourself are ironically making an apples to oranges comparison since the chinese were more traders, ambassadors, etc as opposed to settlers (en masse). Also not all amerindians were nomadic tribes and some had relatively advanced civilizations, IE the aztecs, incas, etc
I would almost argue that it's worse since it involves the killing of racial kin. You seem to think killing people you've been connected to in some way for a long time is better than killing complete strangers. I'm starting to think the opposite is true, especially from an evolutionary point of view. But whites have had their fair share of both.
This is different than european colonists randomly showing up some day and then going on to colonize people they had no prior history with. Indigenous tribes that are inhabiting your country itself or the nearby region and could create issues/rebellions != indigenous tribes in a far away land that have zero effect on your country.
Okay, but it still hasn't been proven because what's "normal" in this situation? How do we measure it and take into account technological advantages? After all, achieving an empire is not just a matter of want, but also capability.
do you understand now? I was making a generalized statement about western europeans commenting about their apparent higher than normal tendency to want to dominate and rule over others. Saying this does not imply that western europeans demonstrate the highest inclination and tendency to want to dominate and rule over others; if I wanted to say that then I would have just used the superlative “highest” to begin with
No, I didn't mean identical in intensity or whatever. I meant identical in the sense that it tends to manifest itself in the same ways.
Anyways you can’t really prove that the drives are identical, there is no precise way to quantify this, all you can do is conjecture about it. You should know this since you always insist on certain things being unquantifiable, example below
They are a good counterpoint to, say, the Mongolians or the Japanese. But I never said that every ethnicity would necessarily act like Western Europeans, it was just a broad claim about all races. And the Mings were certainly never in our position, which would include a multitude of factors like the ones I listed earlier. Nevertheless, I don't really regret debating the topic since I did learn more about them.
they have been an excellent counterpoint to use and its caused you to think a lot deeper on this subject than you would have otherwise. Besides, you could have stopped responding about the mings or just indicated that you didnt want to discuss them at any time but you didnt, instead you chose to keep debating about them as well.
Well, at some point we did because we still could if we wanted to.
Actually with regards to colonialism it isn’t practiced anymore because WW1 and WW2 broke the west’s back and basically forced them to abandon their colonial possessions. Its not like the west en masse decided out of the goodness of their hearts that they werent going to practice colonialism anymore.
True. Everything was a little hyperbolic. But they would be dramatically changed (for the better imo), no doubt about that. Religion, culture, and ethnic identity are not inconsequential subjects.
can you prove this? This sounds like a racial blank slate argument to me. What youre saying here is basically a supposition that’s patently unprovable. Take away their beliefs and jews would change, but would everything about them change? Not necessarily. Its entirely possible that jews have a unique genetic psychology which would always be in opposition to western europeans. Im not saying that this is fact, because I cannot prove it, but I am saying that its a possibility.
White nationalism is not white supremacy. White nationalists don't want to rule over the other races. Very few white supremacists exist today. Agreed?
Your response is a non-sequitur
Okay, that makes sense. White nationalists that think colonialism was justified in the past wouldn't necessarily support colonialism in the present. I certainly can't think of any white nationalist that does. And since hardly any white nationalists actually do think colonialism was justified in the first place, it's really a non-issue. Like I said earlier, when white nationalists speak of colonialism it's usually to say that it wasn't as bad as claimed, it actually benefited those colonized to a certain extent, or they point out that only white countries are targeted for mass immigration because of their pasts. But I still think most would undo the colonization of Africa and Asia if they could, especially since many of the colonies were a net drain on state revenue. I certainly would, but would the Africans and Asians? Many Africans think Africa would be more advanced and developed today without European colonialism. However, I don't know if they truly believe that given the differences between countries that were colonized and those that weren't. The situation in the Americas was different because it involved settler colonialism and the creation of new nations. We fought, and they lost. It's the story of human history (including the Amerindians), and while it's regrettable that so many died, all we can really do now is try to make sure it doesn't happen again.
Except my reasoning is correct though. If a similar situation were to happen again then people would have the benefit of hindsight and perhaps try to avoid doing the same thing that they did in the past. The nuclear bombings of japan might be considered justified by some people because back then people didnt have the benefit of hindsight. Its possible to think a past action was justified without wanting to repeat that action later on because in that past moment, and in that past situation, given the available past options and without the ability of foresight, a certain past action might have seemed like a logical or right one, however moving into the present and into the future, situations change, which in turn make past justifiable actions no longer as tenable to repeat, although the past action in question itself is still considered as justifiable since this was due to the action being done in its own unique time period with its own unique attending circumstances.
I wonder if Manifest Destiny related actions in America would qualify as a regional matter once the initial colonies were established.
Meant once the country was established.
Apples and oranges indeed. Your point proves that the spirit of your original argument is indefensible
Racial/ethnic psychological differences do matter of course. But Western Europeans and the Chinese had different needs, were surrounded by different competition, had different religions, encountered different people, had different levels of technological advantage, etc. That’s why I said it was an apples to oranges comparison.
Whats been going on in this debate is a little bit complicated but im going to try to unpack it. Initially I made a broad statement about whites, which you then responded to with the above quote referring broadly to races; afterwards I specified my claim since I was originally talking about western europeans and not all whites. From that point on in the conversation I made a consistent effort to point out that I was talking about things on the ethnic/cultural bloc level as opposed to at the racial level. Its within this context (the ethnic/cultural bloc level, not the racial level) that I was debating against the notion that all other "races" would have done the same if they were in the place of western europeans. Ironically your apples and oranges argument is supporting my original thesis. For various reasons, different ethnicities might or might not have tried to dominate the world if they were in a position to do so. To say that all ethnicities/cultural blocs would have acted in the same way were they in the position of western europeans is a really broad and unprovable statement due to its inherent complexity. Just to be completely clear though, I was never interested in having a broad conversation about race; and I think that my comments throughout this debate reflect this as well. As far as im concerned, regarding this particular argument I think we have come to an agreement. OTOH if you're trying to have a conversation about entire races (as opposed to ethnicities and cultural blocs) then im not interested in it, and never was.
All the other races would have done the same in our place, they just weren’t ever strong enough to even come close to accomplishing it.
Or maybe the mings might have just traded for it, like they did for everything else. Truthfully you dont know exactly what they would have done (nor do I). Its inane that you assume that the mings would have automatically resorted to force
Racial/ethnic differences in submissiveness might also exist and there is evidence of this in the fact that the Amerindians were not used as slaves like Africans were. The Amerindians and the various Asian peoples the Chinese encountered are not the same people. I think we can infer that the Amerindians would not submit to Chinese domination. And if the Mings had wanted their gold and silver, they would have been force to use similar methods that the Europeans used (if they had the same technological advantage).
No you misread it, I was always referring to white nationalists. Here is my quote again:You literally said that modern whites are collectively guilty for being racial supremacists in the past and so are hypocritical for criticizing Jewish supremacy taking place in the present. So white nationalists should just shut up about it and accept their fate.
5.) Where did I suggest that whites have collective guilt for past transgressions and have to pay for it by accepting mass immigration?
The bolded part was me just referring to what whites did but I was actually implying that white nationalists are hypocritical because they always try to make justifications for white world domination while crying about jews trying to do the same. The primary subject of my paragraph was white nationalists which can be seen by the fact that I began and ended my paragraph by referring to white nationalists.besides that, can you show me somewhere else in this thread where I made the argument that whites have collective guilt for past transgressions and have to pay for it by accepting mass immigration?Replies: @FvS
Why do white nationalists always criticize jews by claiming that jews are racial supremacists that seek world domination? This is the pot calling the kettle black; whites literally thought and acted this way for over five centuries, the only race that actually desired to dominate the entire world and succeeded in doing so was whites. Why do white nationalists have such an appalling lack of self awareness?
To say that all ethnicities/cultural blocs would have acted in the same way were they in the position of western europeans is a really broad and unprovable statement due to its inherent complexity.
Yeah, was never my position.
Just to be completely clear though, I was never interested in having a broad conversation about race; and I think that my comments throughout this debate reflect this as well. As far as im concerned, regarding this particular argument I think we have come to an agreement. OTOH if you’re trying to have a conversation about entire races (as opposed to ethnicities and cultural blocs) then im not interested in it, and never was.
I was. That’s why I made that generalization about race since every race had or has ethnicities/cultural blocs that would have done the same in our shoes. You couldn’t refute what I said, so that’s why you steered the debate toward a specific ethnicity/cultural bloc in the Ming Chinese that probably wouldn’t fit that criteria. But that’s okay, it was interesting, and I learned the Mings weren’t as bad as they could have potentially been.
Or maybe the mings might have just traded for it, like they did for everything else. Truthfully you dont know exactly what they would have done (nor do I). Its inane that you assume that the mings would have automatically resorted to force
They could have traded for some of it, but if they wanted control over production, they would have had to use force.
The bolded part was me just referring to what whites did but I was actually implying that white nationalists are hypocritical because they always try to make justifications for white world domination while crying about jews trying to do the same. The primary subject of my paragraph was white nationalists which can be seen by the fact that I began and ended my paragraph by referring to white nationalists.
And again white nationalism and white supremacism are two different things. White nationalists may point out silver linings in the colonial actions of the past, some might even think colonialism was justified at the time (though I can’t think of any prominent one that does), but they absolutely do not support white supremacy in the present. There is no hypocrisy because we are talking about the Jewish supremacism that exists right now and that is destroying our people. So, what we have is one group of people that are not racial supremacists bringing attention to another group of people that are racial supremacists and who are slowly trying to genocide the first group.
besides that, can you show me somewhere else in this thread where I made the argument that whites have collective guilt for past transgressions and have to pay for it by accepting mass immigration?
You criticized white nationalists for speaking out against the Jewish supremacism of today because white supremacism existed in the past, and I guess we haven’t done enough to denounce it in your opinion. If you think we shouldn’t fight back against what’s happening to us, I can only assume you think we deserve our fate.
I never claimed otherwise. My point of contention was that you put forth a flawed argument and instead of admitting that the argument was flawed, you continued to push through with it and move the goalposts. Your point is correct, however it is one factor out of many. The fact that a large comparative advantage may have existed for the europeans and the indigenous people they encountered vis a vis the chinese is significant however it does not negate the fact that HBD/cultural factors were also probably significant as well. The chinese simply appear to have had different priorities/styles when it came to dominating/colonizing others, I really don't know why its so hard for you to accept that HBD/culture is a significant factor in this and if you DO accept that HBD/culture is a significant factor in this then we actually have nothing to argue about anymore since this was my original point anyways.
I was wrong to say that the Mings didn’t have any technological superiority over the Malacca Sultanate and Kotte. I should have been more specific as to the degree of technological advantage I was referring to.
I was right to say that the Chinese never had the same advantages that the Europeans had. The degree of technological advantage is relevant because it changes your calculations of how much you can exert your dominance.
Your original point wasnt about why or how the malacca sultanate and kotte eventually came to be colonized, your original point was about whether or not they were worth being colonized at all. See here:
It seems they initially came for trade , were attacked by the Muslims in Malacca, and then won Malacca as a result of the conflict. As for Kotte, they also came for trade and then were enlisted to fight in an intra-kingdom war. Then their influence grew, and they took over from there. As far as I can tell, they didn’t do anything worse than the Mings did in terms of their treatment of the Kotte people.
You wanted to suggest that maybe kotte and malacca weren't worth colonizing and I provided evidence that kotte and malacca were at least deemed worthy of colonizing by the portuguese. The fact that the portuguese considered malacca and kotte worth of colonizing (regardless of how or why they ended up colonizing it) weakens your original argument.
2.) Again, wanting a vassal state and wanting a country’s natural resources are two different things that require different methods. We don’t know if Kotte and Malacca would have been worth colonizing in the first place. If they weren’t, then that could be a reason why the Chinese did not.
Your argument is based on the assumption that china is colonizing africa in the first place. Are they truly colonizing africa in the european sense or are you just claiming this? According to my knowledge of whats going on, china is helping to build up infrastructure in africa as well as providing training and education to africans in exchange for minerals, natural resources, marketshare etc. Seems like they're basically trading with them, one thing for another.
Perhaps. Mongoloids and americoids look similar so that probably would have helped as well. But you might ask China today why go through all the trouble of what they’re doing in Africa when they could just trade with them.
One could make an argument for this. That being said, it doesn't negate the fact that western europeans have historically shown a greater penchant for global colonization (actual, forcible colonization) compared to the chinese, which was the original point. Just because american actions related to the concept of manifest destiny could potentially be considered as a regional matter doesn't disprove or somehow negate the long, established history of western european global colonization.
I wonder if Manifest Destiny related actions in America would qualify as a regional matter once the initial colonies were established.
This doesn't disprove my point though. Secondly, if you insist on moving into a strange neighborhood then you are potentially courting danger. The english settlers would have been silly to expect otherwise.
True, but the very first few English settlers were massacred by the Amerindians, and they hadn’t even reached large numbers yet. It wasn’t a very good way to start off the relationship.
The problem is that you see the world through a purely racial lense, however nobody else thinks this way. I think this is an american, in particular an american white nationalist way of seeing things. My impression is that most people in the world value their own ethnicity/culture over what race they belong to. Therefore, I think its a poor argument that colonizing local indigenous tribes is worse simply because they're your racial kin. The fact that there have been so many internecine, racially fratricidal wars across the entire world is a strong argument against the notion that people value the concept of an overarching race over their ethnicity.I would almost argue that it’s worse since it involves the killing of racial kin.
This is different than european colonists randomly showing up some day and then going on to colonize people they had no prior history with. Indigenous tribes that are inhabiting your country itself or the nearby region and could create issues/rebellions != indigenous tribes in a far away land that have zero effect on your country.
This is a dishonest way of presenting my argument. I have basically been making the argument that familiarity occasionally breeds contempt. The longer you have been acquainted with someone the greater the chances are that there could be some events that happen which create positive feelings, negative feelings or some combination of the two. My original point was very reasonable, you however are being purposely dense on this point because it isnt compatible with your political convictions. Anyways, I would absolutely argue that it is worse to kill people that you have never met and have no negative history with than it is to kill some people that you have a negative/stressful history with. To make this point more relatable to you, I will put it this way:
You seem to think killing people you’ve been connected to in some way for a long time is better than killing complete strangers.
I never claimed it was a fact though. Here is what I wrote:
Okay, but it still hasn’t been proven because what’s “normal” in this situation? How do we measure it and take into account technological advantages? After all, achieving an empire is not just a matter of want, but also capability.
I said it appears that western europeans demonstrate a much higher inclination and tendency to want to dominate and rule over others, I didnt say that this was a proven fact. In order to back up this assertion I referenced the fact that there is 500 years of observation to support this assertion. Now of course you can claim that something like a higher inclination to want to dominate others is "unmeasurable", however this doesn't change the fact that western europeans were happy to dominate the world for over five centuries; the fact that they bothered doing this at all (not an easy enterprise) definitely suggests that there was an element of inclination or desire to want to rule and dominate. To suggest otherwise would be absurd.
We’ve had over five centuries to observe the behavior of whites, it appears that western europeans (so not necessarily all whites, which is a clumsy term in this context) demonstrate a much higher inclination and tendency to want to dominate and rule over others. If you can’t trust over 500 years of observation regarding a specific racial group then what can you trust?
they are a good counterpoint to western europeans too. Otherwise you would have proven my point wrong already instead of having to drag this conversation out for two weeks without being able to conclusively prove that I was wrong. Our entire conversation and your continual habit of having to backtrack or amend your arguments is a testament to that. This is why you have to resort to you argument about it being impossible to "quantify" the advantage that western europeans had. This is literally your only argument left, all your other attempts to argue that the chinese would have done the same as western europeans have been disproved or seriously weakened. More importantly, even if the mings were in the position of western europeans then you still don't know how they would act, anything you say is basically conjecture at that point.
They are a good counterpoint to, say, the Mongolians or the Japanese. But I never said that every ethnicity would necessarily act like Western Europeans, it was just a broad claim about all races. And the Mings were certainly never in our position, which would include a multitude of factors like the ones I listed earlier. Nevertheless, I don’t really regret debating the topic since I did learn more about them.
My original point was correct, your response doesn't address the reality of what actually happened. The fact that you insist on trying to claim otherwise demonstrates how unwilling you are to be objective about facts and history.Well, at some point we did because we still could if we wanted to.
Actually with regards to colonialism it isn’t practiced anymore because WW1 and WW2 broke the west’s back and basically forced them to abandon their colonial possessions. Its not like the west en masse decided out of the goodness of their hearts that they werent going to practice colonialism anymore.
Why not just admit that you were incorrect? Or barring that, if you're not willing to lose face by admitting that then why not just drop the point completely? Its absurd that you keep trying to rehash your point in a way that makes it look like you werent wrong.White nationalism is not white supremacy. White nationalists don’t want to rule over the other races. Very few white supremacists exist today. Agreed?
Your response is a non-sequitur
this is your supposition, but like any political group there will be a lot of diversity in terms of political opinions. I would say that there are a decent amount of white nationalists who think that colonialism was justified, not the majority, but definitely a decent number in my experience. Furthermore I assume that you are a strong believer in the counter-currents brand of white nationalism, this is my impression given what you've said so far and the fact that you linked one of their articles earlier, however that being said, counter currents does not speak for all white nationalists (nobody does), counter-currents only speaks for its own brand of white nationalism. I think you basically assume that just because the people in your own white nationalist bubble don't think colonialism was justified then this means that all white nationalists must feel this way, but like I said, there is a lot of diversity in any political group and white nationalism is no exception, its folly to speak with such certainty of all white nationalists feeling one way or another on a given topic.
And since hardly any white nationalists actually do think colonialism was justified in the first place, it’s really a non-issue.
Like I said, most white nationalists ive encountered make endless excuses and rationalizations for colonialism instead of just admitting it was wrong. What im claiming is not mutually exclusive with what you're claiming. They can be one and the same.
Like I said earlier, when white nationalists speak of colonialism it’s usually to say that it wasn’t as bad as claimed, it actually benefited those colonized to a certain extent, or they point out that only white countries are targeted for mass immigration because of their pasts.
So...you think that white nationalists (IE american white nationalists) only regret colonization and would undo it as long as it was colonization which they didn't benefit from (africa and asian colonization) even though the worst of colonization happened in the new world. So much for your moral superiority
But I still think most would undo the colonization of Africa and Asia if they could, especially since many of the colonies were a net drain on state revenue.
Like I've been saying this entire time:
I certainly would, but would the Africans and Asians? Many Africans think Africa would be more advanced and developed today without European colonialism. However, I don’t know if they truly believe that given the differences between countries that were colonized and those that weren’t. The situation in the Americas was different because it involved settler colonialism and the creation of new nations.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
most white advocates ive encountered make endless rationalizations for colonization instead of arguing against it and just admitting it was wrong, including you. There are maybe like 0.05% of white advocates who will admit that european colonization was morally wrong, the rest will make flimsy apologetic arguments for it or will even be proud of it.
You are right about this. We live in a harsh universe. It doesn't matter how ethical or unethical somebody is, all that ultimately matters is power. In the past western europeans fought and the amerindians lost, likewise in the present jews are fighting and the west is losing. Regardless of whether you think that you are justified and righteous, what ultimately matters is power. Jews currently have power and the west does not. This is the story of human history. The very same reasoning you apply to the amerindians can be equally applied to the west.Replies: @FvS
We fought, and they lost. It’s the story of human history (including the Amerindians), and while it’s regrettable that so many died, all we can really do now is try to make sure it doesn’t happen again.
https://www.science20.com/news_articles/the_most_violent_era_in_america_was_before_europeans_arrived-141847
the moral weight of regional colonialism vis a vis global colonialism is irrelevant here, the point is that your original retort missed the mark (comment #384). You obviously were aware of this too, that's why you're trying to evade this fact and instead bring up off-topic moral abstractionsIs colonizing a neighbor morally superior to colonizing someone on a different continent? I guess you could make the argument that it’s worse in terms of preserving global diversity of peoples and cultures since neighboring countries tend to be more racially and culturally similar.
I was always referring to global colonization, it was you who took it out of context (not surprisingly). You tried to use the xinjiang and tibet situation against me and I told you that you can’t use it against me since I always admitted that china practiced regional dominance/colonization.
https://www.unz.com/avltchek/march-of-the-uyghurs/that's a good place to get started. Its really not that hard to find information about that topic, but im pretty sure that you weren't looking that hard to begin with. Also its funny how "naive" you sound with regards to the CIA's objectives regarding tibet. What are the chances that a white nationalist who is redpilled on the jew question would be completely bluepilled regarding the CIA? I would say slim to none, you just want to frame the CIA's actions as being innocuous in order to support your side in the debate. Funny how this is coming from someone who wrote this in an earlier comment in this very thread:Proof? It seems all they wanted was to free Tibet from communist control.
If china did this then the CIA would move in in earnest and then fully utilize xinjiang and tibet as a launching pads for terrorists or other disruptive actions towards china.
so um...america is just trying to spread democracy in tibet right? That's why they're trying to free them right? lmao you have no principles dude, you'll just say whatever in this debate in order to try to not look wrong.
U.S. foreign policy is controlled by Jewish neocons and their goy minions. And the wars are hardly neo-colonialist adventures but are fought for the interest of Israeli national security and regional dominance. Or if you believe the media propaganda (like many Americans do), they are fought to protect us from terror attacks and to spread democracy.
So the point is that your original response was off the mark. You wanted to make the argument that the europeans willingly gave away their colonies so that they could be free but I showed you that the actual history behind decolonization was more complex than what you were suggesting and not simply a voluntary act of goodwill by europeans. Whether I oppose chinese colonialism or not has nothing to do with the fact that your original point was wrong.So? Do you oppose Chinese colonialism or not?
The europeans didnt always willingly give up their colonies, the reality of the situation was much more complex than how you’re trying to represent it.
Never said it did. However, it does mean that what china did couldn't really be considered a classic colonial act, which was the point all along. You were trying to suggest that china was colonizing tibet by using the great leap forward and the cultural revolution as examples while ignoring the fact that these events affected everyone in china and not just tibetans (comment #353). It was a travesty of course, but it doesn't support your argument.So? That doesn’t excuse what the Chinese did.
you didn’t disprove my original point though, everybody got hurt during this time period. Your point would be more valid if only the tibetans got hurt, but china was fighting against itself during this time period and destroying everything, even its own culture.
So is this rationalwiki page for 9/11 conspiracy theories:https://rationalwiki.org/wiki/9/11I bring up 9/11 because im pretty sure that a jew wise white nationalist would disbelieve the official 9/11 story. With that being said, this rationalwiki article is pretty thorough, guess that means its right huh. Anyways im sticking to my original stance and remaining agnostic regarding the falun-gong organ trafficking allegation. Whether its true or not is irrelevant to our overarching debate, you just want to discuss it so that you can sidetrack things.That wiki article is pretty thorough.
like I said its hard to say how bad it really is and whats actually going on due to all of the disinformation going around. Who knows if organ harvesting is really going on or not. I found this regarding the falun gong organ harvesting situation:
You fell for an obvious disinformation meme that took literally 1-2 minutes of googling to debunk.Chinese are colonizing Africa. Many Chinese are racist towards Africans. China is an authoritarian communist dictatorship that restrains people in metal interrogation chairs for criticizing minor government policies online. Not so obvious.
Remember, you were the one who fell for an obvious disinformation meme lol
Its not though. In comment #367 I wrote the following:
And like I said, there is a difference between pointing out silver linings and thinking something was right. I did find this though.How interesting… It seems I’m getting two contradictory points of view from you given what you said a post above.
They condone colonialism in the past, which strongly suggests that they would condone its return in the future if conditions were right. Ive been following this movement for a long time bud, I know how you guys actually think
You were trying to insist that just because somebody thinks that something is justified then they would want to see its return; this is a line of reasoning that you kept trying to advocate in multiple comments; my response to you was to demonstrate that your reasoning is not necessarily correct since under some circumstances somebody can think something was justified without wanting to see it happen again. Since you insisted on promoting this reasoning, I had to show you circumstances under which this reasoning would not apply. Just because I had to demonstrate the flaw in your reasoning does not necessarily mean that I support this reasoning myself. You were the one who was trying to force this argument, not me. Additionally, what I originally wrote is not contradictory with the quoted comment anyways because my reasoning was very conditional:sometimes but not necessarily. Some people think the nuclear bombings of japan were justified but that doesn’t mean that they want to see it happen again. Your reasoning is really simplistic
And you still don’t seem to understand the concept of silver linings. Obviously, if you think something is justified, that it is right, you would probably want to see its return.
I still agree with this quote. I think that if the conditions were right then alt-righters (who I was referring to in the original comment) would condone the return of colonialism. Key word "if the conditions were right".
They condone colonialism in the past, which strongly suggests that they would condone its return in the future if conditions were right. Ive been following this movement for a long time bud, I know how you guys actually think
That doesn't disprove my point though:
Reduced language barriers make it easier for certain immigrants, but plenty of immigrants still come with little to no knowledge of their host nations language.
Literally billions of third worlders are familiar with western culture and western languages due to the legacy of colonialism. That's a lot of people, there is no way to deny this. The fact that they are familiar with western culture and western languages makes it easier for them to integrate into western society period. There are potentially billions of third worlders who want to immigrate to western countries due to their shared languages and cultures as a result of colonialism. Not only that but you need to consider the religious aspect as well. Due to colonialism, christianity was spread throughout the entire world, consequently these religious ties are used to justify multiculturalism and mass immigration.https://www.catholiccharitiesusa.org/our-ministry/immigration-refugee-services/
if it wasnt for european colonization then billions of third worlders wouldnt be so familiar with western culture and western languages. Due to billions of third worlders being so familiar with western culture and western languages it makes it that much easier for them to immigrate to and integrate into western societies. Notice how a ton of the UK’s immigrants are from its former colonies? The same goes for france too
In 2018, 108 Catholic Charities agencies helped welcome and integrate over 300,000 immigrants, refugees, and asylees.
This is conjecture, you don't know what would have happened had colonialism never happened. The world would look entirely different had colonialism never happened. Keep in mind that the US, canada and a bunch of countries wouldn't even exist anymore if colonialism had never happened. Just this factor alone means that mass immigration would be significantly curtailed since some of the countries that we now know wouldn't exist in the first place to receive mass immigration. The entire modern world and even how we think and perceive the world and the people in it is based upon the legacy of colonialism. The point youre trying to make is basically unprovable and rests on so many assumptions (various causal assumptions need to be made to replace the role of colonialism or its legacy) about how an alternative form of globalization would have occurred that you might as well be writing fiction.
I would say globalization and mass immigration have been exacerbated by colonialism, but would likely still exist had it never existed in Europe. Technology would still have connected the world, and Jewish supremacists would still hate whites.
The unspoken corollary of historic mass european immigration is that present and future mass immigration is justified as well. Had the west not colonized the entire world and subsequently supplied millions of immigrants then this reasoning would no longer apply. Anyways its beyond obvious to me that the reason you softpedal western europeans colonizing the entire world is not due to any factual objection to it but rather because you want to deny or avoid anything which casts whites in a bad light. Your motives are extremely transparent. Also you believe in this reasoning yourself, you wrote this in comment #272:
Most arguments used in favor of mass immigration these days don’t even bring up the subject of colonialism. Usually they are along the lines of it’s good for the economy, diversity makes us stronger, it’s our moral duty to help them escape their terrible home countries, blah, blah, blah…
You yourself are stating here that jews use colonialism to help justify their "genocidal" policies. Therefore you show awareness that the west's history of colonialism can be used against it in certain ways.Replies: @FvS
Jews and a hostile power elite are the primary instigators. Colonialism is just one of many excuses they use to justify their genocidal policies.
Yup and I never said it was. I was clarifying my own position. Re-read everything I wrote. Why is it that you have such bad reading comprehension?Yeah, was never my position.
To say that all ethnicities/cultural blocs would have acted in the same way were they in the position of western europeans is a really broad and unprovable statement due to its inherent complexity.
Actually when the debate first began we were using a very loose definition of race, it wasn't until a little bit later on that we became more careful with what terms we were using. This is evidenced by the fact that way back in comment #143 you said the following:
I was. That’s why I made that generalization about race since every race had or has ethnicities/cultural blocs that would have done the same in our shoes. You couldn’t refute what I said, so that’s why you steered the debate toward a specific ethnicity/cultural bloc in the Ming Chinese that probably wouldn’t fit that criteria. But that’s okay, it was interesting, and I learned the Mings weren’t as bad as they could have potentially been.
Jews are not a race, they're an ethnicity. However you were implying that they could be a "race". This right here suggests that you're using a very loose definition of race. The fact that we were comparing whites and jews to begin with suggests that we were discussing ethnicity instead of strictly race and this is confirmed by your own reference to jewish racial/ethnic consciousness. Here's another example:
On the other hand, subjugation of the goyim is built into the Jewish identity. Their religion is literally a roadmap for world domination, and their racial/ethnic consciousness is based upon “choseness” and genetic superiority. Secular Jews are not exempt from this because they still belong to the greater Jewish ethnic identity and culture which has largely been defined by Judaism the religion.
You were mixing your analogies in this situation. On one hand you were talking about races in a broad sense and whites being ethnically cleansed from their homelands but then you turned around and started listing various ethnicities instead of being consistent and referring to them on a racial level. I understand your analogy but its pretty confusing in terms of race/ethnicity. You can't really accuse me of trying to steer the debate when you weren't always precise about your usage of race as well. The argument about the ming dynasty that I was advocating seemed pretty consistent with our loose usage of race at the time. In fact you were happy to debate and didn't say anything about the loose definition of race for quite a few comments until you clarified it in comment #271.
Strawman. I never said it was okay. My point was that all races have engaged in conquest and slaughter. European caucasoids are not unique in that regard. But what you seem to be implying is that because some white people did bad things in the past, they deserve to be ethnically cleansed from their homelands. Would you apply this same logic to the Turks because of the Ottoman Empire? What about the Japanese because of Nanking? Israelis because of what they’re doing to the Palestinians? How about the Bantus of Africa?
Keep in mind that I had bothered to clarify my stance on race as early as comment #177. If you really thought that I was steering the conversation then you could have stopped the debate and demanded that we clarify the terms of debate, but you didn't. You insisted on continuing the debate. You very obviously wanted to defend your stance that the ming would have acted in a similar fashion to the western european colonizers in the spirit of your original claim that all races would have done the same as whites if they could have. Actions speak louder than words, thats why you spent two weeks trying to argue your point. This is why I doubt your line of reasoning below:
If the existence of the Ming Dynasty means the Mongolian Empire never happened, then I guess the existence of all those European countries that never had colonies means the ones that did don’t count against us.
Its post-hoc reasoning. You only started trying to clarify the ethnicities/cultural bloc argument later on, initially we were operating on a really loose definition of race.
That’s why I made that generalization about race since every race had or has ethnicities/cultural blocs that would have done the same in our shoes.
you're making a large assumption here though. Who said that they would have wanted control over production? What supports your assumption? You're just trying to move goalposts here.They could have traded for some of it, but if they wanted control over production, they would have had to use force.
Or maybe the mings might have just traded for it, like they did for everything else. Truthfully you dont know exactly what they would have done (nor do I). Its inane that you assume that the mings would have automatically resorted to force
Your response has nothing to do with the original point though:
And again white nationalism and white supremacism are two different things. White nationalists may point out silver linings in the colonial actions of the past, some might even think colonialism was justified at the time (though I can’t think of any prominent one that does), but they absolutely do not support white supremacy in the present. There is no hypocrisy because we are talking about the Jewish supremacism that exists right now and that is destroying our people. So, what we have is one group of people that are not racial supremacists bringing attention to another group of people that are racial supremacists and who are slowly trying to genocide the first group.
You misread my original point and misunderstood what it was actually saying. You were claiming that I was stating that whites are hypocritical for criticizing jewish supremacy taking place in the present when I was actually stating that white nationalists are the ones who are hypocritical. Your rambling reponse didn't address this at all.You literally said that modern whites are collectively guilty for being racial supremacists in the past and so are hypocritical for criticizing Jewish supremacy taking place in the present. So white nationalists should just shut up about it and accept their fate.
Where did I suggest that whites have collective guilt for past transgressions and have to pay for it by accepting mass immigration?
So...you can't find where I made this kind of argument then? Its telling because if I did make this argument in this thread then it would be easy to find, but instead you can only resort to trying to stretch an argument that is based entirely on your assumption.Replies: @FvSYou criticized white nationalists for speaking out against the Jewish supremacism of today because white supremacism existed in the past, and I guess we haven’t done enough to denounce it in your opinion. If you think we shouldn’t fight back against what’s happening to us, I can only assume you think we deserve our fate.
besides that, can you show me somewhere else in this thread where I made the argument that whites have collective guilt for past transgressions and have to pay for it by accepting mass immigration?
But you still didnt answer my question, where I was specifically talking about the sins of “whites”?We’ve already gone through this. At this point, I’m just taking any use of whites as just shorthand for Western Europeans in the context of this thread. You should too.
also where I was specifically talking about the sins of “whites”? do you mean western europeans? Why pretend like I was ever acting like I was talking about all whites when I made sure to clarify that I was talking about western europeans very early on.
Hey this is what you wrote:Did you know that there are degrees of “badness”? I brought it up because it’s colonialism, end of story. It doesn’t need to be on par with European style colonialism to make it wrong.
why else would you bring up the point below if you weren’t trying to suggest that neo-colonialism is in some way similarly bad to european style colonialism?
What else am I supposed to think? you write stuff and then claim you meant something different all the time lol
It wouldn’t surprise me one bit coming from these people. Do you support Chinese neocolonialism in Africa or not? Let’s see if you’re a hypocrite.
nope:Colonialism is colonialism
4.) was always referring to global colonization, it was you who took it out of context
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------I was always referring to global colonization, it was you who took it out of context (not surprisingly). You tried to use the xinjiang and tibet situation against me and I told you that you can't use it against me since I always admitted that china practiced regional dominance/colonization.
Just to be absolutely clear on this; if china ever begins invading the world and acts exactly in the same manner as european colonizers did then I will have no problem condemning the chinese. Due to your WN blinkers you are under the impression that im hypocritical and “anti-white” but the truth is that im interested in being fair and non-biased as possible. Colonialism is colonialism, it doesnt matter who does it, its immoral.
If china did this then the CIA would move in in earnest and then fully utilize xinjiang and tibet as a launching pads for terrorists or other disruptive actions towards china. Like I said, the situation with china and its local "colonies" is significantly different than with the west and its overseas colonies. You are ironically comparing apples and oranges
There’s one thing they could do instead of colonization, and they wouldn’t have to worry about the CIA (if your conspiracy theory is true) any more. Let them be independent. Give it away like the Europeans did to their colonies.

and they wouldn’t have to worry about the CIA (if your conspiracy theory is true)
WW1 and WW2 was the primary cause for europeans giving up their colonies (IE losers lost their colonies or the war just bankrupted the european governments amongst many other factors)http://ieg-ego.eu/en/threads/europe-and-the-world/european-overseas-rule/fabian-klose-decolonization-and-revolution#TheAnticolonialRevolutionandtheDissolutionoftheEuropeanColonialEmpires19141975https://www.bbc.co.uk/history/british/modern/endofempire_overview_01.shtmlThe europeans didnt always willingly give up their colonies, the reality of the situation was much more complex than how you're trying to represent it.
Give it away like the Europeans did to their colonies.
you didn't disprove my original point though, everybody got hurt during this time period. Your point would be more valid if only the tibetans got hurt, but china was fighting against itself during this time period and destroying everything, even its own culture.
Embarrassing for you. It wasn’t just some accident. It was the result of deliberate policies against the Tibetan people. I should’ve expected you to defend it though LOL.
like I said its hard to say how bad it really is and whats actually going on due to all of the disinformation going around. Who knows if organ harvesting is really going on or not. I found this regarding the falun gong organ harvesting situation:https://thegrayzone.com/2019/09/30/reports-china-organ-harvesting-cult-falun-gong/I would prefer to remain agnostic about the situation. Remember, you were the one who fell for an obvious disinformation meme lol
Well, China is an authoritarian dictatorship that does this sort of thing.

lol, I didn't though. If there are any people reading our exchange they can easily go through my comments and look for conversations ive had with people about colonization. If I was lying then I wouldn't post this link in the first place. Like I said, ive had plenty of debates with white nationalists about colonization where they try to rationalize it and make excuses for it instead of just admitting it was wrong.https://www.unz.com/comments/all/?commenterfilter=GammaRay
I found one person, and they weren’t even white. Why did you lie?
You're being purposely dense if you cant acknowledge that the west's colonial history helped set the scene for globalization and mass immigration. I can give you one very good example, if it wasnt for european colonization then billions of third worlders wouldnt be so familiar with western culture and western languages. Due to billions of third worlders being so familiar with western culture and western languages it makes it that much easier for them to immigrate to and integrate into western societies. Notice how a ton of the UK's immigrants are from its former colonies? The same goes for france too
Technology, trade, mililtary might, etc. Technology being the big one. None of that is dependent on any kind of colonial framework. Truthfully, you are very quick to point out anything that makes whites look bad while hardly making a peep about anyone else.
yeah but this doesnt have anything to do with your original point and my answer to your original point:Again, you singled out Western Europeans as being the worst race when it came to world domination and whatnot.
uh…I was never making a broad claim about the asian race. Why do you keep bringing up points which I never made?
Replies: @FvSuh…I was never making a broad claim about the asian race. Why do you keep bringing up points which I never made?
But you did claim they were less bloodthirsty and power hungry than the Europeans. This may or may not be true, but it also says nothing about whether Asians as a race are, let alone all other races.
But you still didnt answer my question, where I was specifically talking about the sins of “whites”?
I thought we already established that any further use of whites would be taken as Western Europeans in the context of this conversation. (Sidenote, I don’t think that only Western Europeans are white).
What else am I supposed to think? you write stuff and then claim you meant something different all the time lol
You made it clear you are against all colonization, not just European colonization. Am I wrong?
I was always referring to global colonization, it was you who took it out of context (not surprisingly). You tried to use the xinjiang and tibet situation against me and I told you that you can’t use it against me since I always admitted that china practiced regional dominance/colonization.
Is colonizing a neighbor morally superior to colonizing someone on a different continent? I guess you could make the argument that it’s worse in terms of preserving global diversity of peoples and cultures since neighboring countries tend to be more racially and culturally similar.
If china did this then the CIA would move in in earnest and then fully utilize xinjiang and tibet as a launching pads for terrorists or other disruptive actions towards china.
Proof? It seems all they wanted was to free Tibet from communist control.
The europeans didnt always willingly give up their colonies, the reality of the situation was much more complex than how you’re trying to represent it.
So? Do you oppose Chinese colonialism or not?
you didn’t disprove my original point though, everybody got hurt during this time period. Your point would be more valid if only the tibetans got hurt, but china was fighting against itself during this time period and destroying everything, even its own culture.
So? That doesn’t excuse what the Chinese did.

That wiki article is pretty thorough.
Remember, you were the one who fell for an obvious disinformation meme lol
Chinese are colonizing Africa. Many Chinese are racist towards Africans. China is an authoritarian communist dictatorship that restrains people in metal interrogation chairs for criticizing minor government policies online. Not so obvious.
lol, I didn’t though. If there are any people reading our exchange they can easily go through my comments and look for conversations ive had with people about colonization. If I was lying then I wouldn’t post this link in the first place. Like I said, ive had plenty of debates with white nationalists about colonization where they try to rationalize it and make excuses for it instead of just admitting it was wrong.
And like I said, there is a difference between pointing out silver linings and thinking something was right. I did find this though.
They condone colonialism in the past, which strongly suggests that they would condone its return in the future if conditions were right. Ive been following this movement for a long time bud, I know how you guys actually think
How interesting… It seems I’m getting two contradictory points of view from you given what you said a post above.
You’re being purposely dense if you cant acknowledge that the west’s colonial history helped set the scene for globalization and mass immigration. I can give you one very good example, if it wasnt for european colonization then billions of third worlders wouldnt be so familiar with western culture and western languages. Due to billions of third worlders being so familiar with western culture and western languages it makes it that much easier for them to immigrate to and integrate into western societies. Notice how a ton of the UK’s immigrants are from its former colonies? The same goes for france too
Reduced language barriers make it easier for certain immigrants, but plenty of immigrants still come with little to no knowledge of their host nations language. I would say globalization and mass immigration have been exacerbated by colonialism, but would likely still exist had it never existed in Europe. Technology would still have connected the world, and Jewish supremacists would still hate whites. Most arguments used in favor of mass immigration these days don’t even bring up the subject of colonialism. Usually they are along the lines of it’s good for the economy, diversity makes us stronger, it’s our moral duty to help them escape their terrible home countries, blah, blah, blah…
1.) I said, “That’s because they weren’t technologically inferior. The Chinese never had the same technological advantages that the Europeans had. Europeans had better armor and weapons.” The second sentence was to clarify the first, but you just ignored it. You cannot dispute that the technological advantages the Europeans had over the people they colonized was much greater than the technological advantages the Chinese had over the people they encountered. This put the Europeans in a stronger position in case of rebellion.The point is not whether or not europeans may have had a much greater technological advantage over the indigenous people that they encountered vis a vis the chinese; whether this is true or not is immaterial to the point at hand. The point is that you were originally making the argument that the chinese were technologically inferior (and this is well supported by your own text), and you were ultimately proven wrong. However in spite of just admitting you were wrong you keep trying to make twisted contortions about what you really meant when actually your own words clearly indicate the thrust of your original argument. See comment #366
well apparently the portuguese saw fit to colonize malacca and kotte :)https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portuguese_Malacca
2.) Again, wanting a vassal state and wanting a country’s natural resources are two different things that require different methods. We don’t know if Kotte and Malacca would have been worth colonizing in the first place. If they weren’t, then that could be a reason why the Chinese did not.
Under the Ming dynasty, countries that wanted to have any form of relationship with China, political, economic or otherwise, had to enter the tribute system. As a result, tribute was often paid for opportunistic reasons rather than as a serious gesture of allegiance to the Chinese emperor, and the mere fact that tribute was paid may not be understood in a way that China had political leverage over its tributary.In other words, the mings probably would have met with the amerindians and traded with them. By entering into the chinese tribute system, the amerindian civilizations would get access to trading rights with china. It would be a profitable arrangement for both parties, example below:
7.) We cannot infer how the Ming would have treated the Amerindians because they are completely different peoples from the ones the Mings encountered. I highly doubt they would have submitted to being vassals.
The concept of vassal state in this context is extremely shakey, im not even sure if the ming dynasty would have been particularly interested in setting up overseas colonies in the first place or trying to maintain any kind of serious political control over them. Why go through all that trouble when you can just trade with the people? It would probably be a similar arrangement to what happened in malacca
The tribute system was an economically profitable form of government trade, and Korea requested and successfully increased the number of tributes sent to Ming from once every three years to three times each year starting in 1400, and eventually four times each year starting in 1531.[73]
Except your point fits perfectly within everything ive already written. The ming dynasty wasnt interested in controlling malacca as a colony, they just wanted good relations with the area because it was conducive to trade. As for vietnam this was a regional matter and china has historically been deeply interested in regional matters as I have written numerous times before, the same goes for the miao rebellions which happened within the heart of the ming dynasty itself.
Also, we don’t know if we would be getting the Mings that traded with the Malaccas, the Mings that colonized and sinicized the Vietnamese, or the Mings that castrated 1,565 Miao boys.
I never claimed that the mings were perfect or moral beings. Context also matters here, castration was a historically accepted institution in china. You can read more about it here:https://books.google.com/books?id=Ka6jNJcX_ygC&pg=PA16&dq=miao+rebellion+tribe+southwest+china+ming&hl=en&ei=yE_MTLnOIsKBlAfDw7XlCA&sa=X&oi=book_result&ct=result&resnum=3&ved=0CDwQ6AEwAg#v=onepage&q&f=false
or the Mings that castrated 1,565 Miao boys.
The amerindians were extremely vicious to settlers, but the chinese were never that interested in setting up colonies. I dont deny that some amerindians might have still been vicious to hypothetical ming visitors, but you yourself are ironically making an apples to oranges comparison since the chinese were more traders, ambassadors, etc as opposed to settlers (en masse). Also not all amerindians were nomadic tribes and some had relatively advanced civilizations, IE the aztecs, incas, etc
8.) Comparing the American war with the Amerindians to Chinese colonization of Vietnam is an apples to oranges comparison because they are different peoples. The Vietnamese had a formal state structure in which leadership and control could be effectively transferred and maintained. The Amerindians were extremely vicious to settlers and mutual hatred just kind of spiraled out of control.
again, this is a regional/internal matter. I never denied that china engaged in regional colonization. Also you need to read up on the context of these events, these were event that were happening within china itself and then there were significant events that occurred even prior to these events. The point being, the ming dynasty didnt come across some random indigenous people they had never met before and exterminate them, these were ongoing events that had prior context and buildup. This is different than european colonists randomly showing up some day and then going on to colonize people they had no prior history with. Indigenous tribes that are inhabiting your country itself or the nearby region and could create issues/rebellions != indigenous tribes in a far away land that have zero effect on your country.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ming_conquest_of_Yunnan
They would not submit like so many of China’s enemies did. Here though, the Mings are said to have wiped out indigenous tribes.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sinicization#Ming_dynasty
your point is not incorrect, but I was primarily referring to the fact that your original argument was still disproven:
10.) With regard to the Somalians, I keep telling you that there is more to technology than just proto-firearms and cannons. Horses and armor matter. Here is a quote about how the Qings defeated the Mings.
The Ming Dynasty was eventually replaced in 1644 by the Qing Dynasty: who combined ambush tactics with heavy cavalry to overwhelm Ming infantry; who were slowed down by their heavy cannons and handcannons
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
You keep coping. The fact is the chinese had firearm and cannon technology at this time and the somalians didnt because they were still using swords and bows and arrows. The chinese had a major technological advantage period. You wanted to claim that the chinese didn’t meet any technologically inferior people at the time and you were wrong.
well duh. Who else am I going to compare them to, aliens?
You never specified in comparison to whom, and by singling out Western Europeans, it was implied that you meant in comparison to everyone else.
what I wrote was a comparative statement, the "average" im referring to is implied through the use of the comparative form of the adjective high:
You never mentioned anything about an “average” before (whatever that would be)
let me take my original text and substitute some words, that way you will better understand that my grammar and choice of words was actually innocuous:
demonstrate a much higher inclination and tendency to want to dominate and rule over others
(original text)
We’ve had over five centuries to observe the behavior of whites, it appears that western europeans (so not necessarily all whites, which is a clumsy term in this context) demonstrate a much higher inclination and tendency to want to dominate and rule over others.
(modified text)do you understand now? I was making a generalized statement about western europeans commenting about their apparent higher than normal tendency to want to dominate and rule over others. Saying this does not imply that western europeans demonstrate the highest inclination and tendency to want to dominate and rule over others; if I wanted to say that then I would have just used the superlative "highest" to begin with
We’ve had over five centuries to observe the behavior of whites, it appears that western europeans (so not necessarily all whites, which is a clumsy term in this context) demonstrate a much higher rate of creativity and tendency to be tall
I was never really referring to races in a broad sense, I did so once in comment #118 but then quickly specified what I was referring to in my next comment to you (comment #177). Its silly to continue trying to keep talking about races when ive made it repeatedly clear that im talking about civilizational clusters/cultural blocs/ethnicities. Anyways you can't really prove that the drives are identical, there is no precise way to quantify this, all you can do is conjecture about it. You should know this since you always insist on certain things being unquantifiable, example below:
That’s because of all the other races (but not all ethnic groups) have exhibited identical drives to dominate others.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
But again, it’s difficult to quantify given the extreme technological advantage they had.
they have been an excellent counterpoint to use and its caused you to think a lot deeper on this subject than you would have otherwise. Besides, you could have stopped responding about the mings or just indicated that you didnt want to discuss them at any time but you didnt, instead you chose to keep debating about them as well.
It’s not my fault you stopped reading after one sentence. Besides, the whole Ming debate is ultimately irrelevant. What were you hoping to prove by bringing them up? That they were more moral than the Western Europeans?
Actually with regards to colonialism it isn't practiced anymore because WW1 and WW2 broke the west's back and basically forced them to abandon their colonial possessions. Its not like the west en masse decided out of the goodness of their hearts that they werent going to practice colonialism anymore.
No, they don’t. Our belief systems are central to everything we do. Why don’t whites engage in colonialism or slavery any more? We changed our beliefs.
can you prove this? This sounds like a racial blank slate argument to me. What youre saying here is basically a supposition that's patently unprovable. Take away their beliefs and jews would change, but would everything about them change? Not necessarily. Its entirely possible that jews have a unique genetic psychology which would always be in opposition to western europeans. Im not saying that this is fact, because I cannot prove it, but I am saying that its a possibility.
Jews do what they do because of their religious beliefs and because they believe themselves to be racially superior to the goyim. Take away these beliefs, and everything about them changes.
this doesnt disprove what I said though:So you have no idea how many white nationalists think colonialism was right. I’ll give you a hint (not very many).
9.) You’re trying to claim that im wrong while forgetting the fact that when I gave you the 60-70% figure I was explicitly using my own definition of a white supremacist.
Your response is a non-sequiturLOL. We already covered this buddy back in comment #316 where I asked you to define what you consider as a white supremacist. You’re trying to claim that im wrong while forgetting the fact that when I gave you the 60-70% figure I was explicitly using my own definition of a white supremacist. You didn’t provide your definition of what you considered a white supremacist until after that post. You’re trying to claim im wrong but your logic is chronologically messed up.
A white supremacist would want the return of colonialism. You claimed that up to 60-70% of race realists could be white supremacists, but not even all race realists are white nationalists, yet alone white supremacists.
Except my reasoning is correct though. If a similar situation were to happen again then people would have the benefit of hindsight and perhaps try to avoid doing the same thing that they did in the past. The nuclear bombings of japan might be considered justified by some people because back then people didnt have the benefit of hindsight. Its possible to think a past action was justified without wanting to repeat that action later on because in that past moment, and in that past situation, given the available past options and without the ability of foresight, a certain past action might have seemed like a logical or right one, however moving into the present and into the future, situations change, which in turn make past justifiable actions no longer as tenable to repeat, although the past action in question itself is still considered as justifiable since this was due to the action being done in its own unique time period with its own unique attending circumstances.Replies: @FvSThey obviously would if we were in the same situation again. But that example is totally different from colonialism and why it existed in the first place.
10.) Some people think the nuclear bombings of japan were justified but that doesn’t mean that they want to see it happen again. Your reasoning is really simplistic
The point is not whether or not europeans may have had a much greater technological advantage over the indigenous people that they encountered vis a vis the chinese; whether this is true or not is immaterial to the point at hand. The point is that you were originally making the argument that the chinese were technologically inferior (and this is well supported by your own text), and you were ultimately proven wrong.
I was wrong to say that the Mings didn’t have any technological superiority over the Malacca Sultanate and Kotte. I should have been more specific as to the degree of technological advantage I was referring to. I was right to say that the Chinese never had the same advantages that the Europeans had. The degree of technological advantage is relevant because it changes your calculations of how much you can exert your dominance.
well apparently the portuguese saw fit to colonize malacca and kotte
It seems they initially came for trade , were attacked by the Muslims in Malacca, and then won Malacca as a result of the conflict. As for Kotte, they also came for trade and then were enlisted to fight in an intra-kingdom war. Then their influence grew, and they took over from there. As far as I can tell, they didn’t do anything worse than the Mings did in terms of their treatment of the Kotte people.
In other words, the mings probably would have met with the amerindians and traded with them. By entering into the chinese tribute system, the amerindian civilizations would get access to trading rights with china…Why go through all that trouble when you can just trade with the people? It would probably be a similar arrangement to what happened in malacca
Perhaps. Mongoloids and americoids look similar so that probably would have helped as well. But you might ask China today why go through all the trouble of what they’re doing in Africa when they could just trade with them.
As for vietnam this was a regional matter and china has historically been deeply interested in regional matters as I have written numerous times before, the same goes for the miao rebellions which happened within the heart of the ming dynasty itself.
I wonder if Manifest Destiny related actions in America would qualify as a regional matter once the initial colonies were established.
The amerindians were extremely vicious to settlers, but the chinese were never that interested in setting up colonies. I dont deny that some amerindians might have still been vicious to hypothetical ming visitors, but you yourself are ironically making an apples to oranges comparison since the chinese were more traders, ambassadors, etc as opposed to settlers (en masse). Also not all amerindians were nomadic tribes and some had relatively advanced civilizations, IE the aztecs, incas, etc
True, but the very first few English settlers were massacred by the Amerindians, and they hadn’t even reached large numbers yet. It wasn’t a very good way to start off the relationship.
This is different than european colonists randomly showing up some day and then going on to colonize people they had no prior history with. Indigenous tribes that are inhabiting your country itself or the nearby region and could create issues/rebellions != indigenous tribes in a far away land that have zero effect on your country.
I would almost argue that it’s worse since it involves the killing of racial kin. You seem to think killing people you’ve been connected to in some way for a long time is better than killing complete strangers. I’m starting to think the opposite is true, especially from an evolutionary point of view. But whites have had their fair share of both.
do you understand now? I was making a generalized statement about western europeans commenting about their apparent higher than normal tendency to want to dominate and rule over others. Saying this does not imply that western europeans demonstrate the highest inclination and tendency to want to dominate and rule over others; if I wanted to say that then I would have just used the superlative “highest” to begin with
Okay, but it still hasn’t been proven because what’s “normal” in this situation? How do we measure it and take into account technological advantages? After all, achieving an empire is not just a matter of want, but also capability.
Meant once the country was established.
I wonder if Manifest Destiny related actions in America would qualify as a regional matter once the initial colonies were established.
since their ideology hinges on a racial hierarchy
It does not. White nationalism is just ethnonationalism for whites. Ethnonationalism is not dependent on any racial hierarchy.
Most White nationalist types secretly acknowledge that Jews are biologically superior to European Gentiles
@Realist put it well.
You will for example find that many try to prove that Einstein was a fraud and copied everything from White Gentiles, this is like Blacks claiming how Whites stole all their ideas and didn’t give them credit.
Not comparable at all. Usually the black claims have very little, if any, merit to them.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Relativity_priority_dispute
The White nationalist claim of Nordic superiority seems a little shady when they also say that a group whose size is 40 times smaller than their own is oppressing them all.
Not all white nationalists are Nordicists; hard to know how many are. Personally, I think they’re kind of silly, but even Nordicists do not claim Nordics are superior in all ways. Most of them probably wish Nordics were more ethnocentric and intelligent enough to see Jewish lies.
Jews are particularly scary to White nationalists because of how smart they are, not just in ‘soft’ subjects like humanities where it can be argued that they simply have the gift of the gab and are indeed only good for huckstering, but they also seem to dominate the ‘hard’ sciences.
Jews are particularly scary to white nationalists because of their role in the ongoing, slow genocide of our peoples. Japanese are also very intelligent, but white nationalists usually view them quite favorably.
It also seems odd that Jews, despite being a distinct group, were allowed into Western society so easily.
This is due to Christianity, imo. Some white advocates have theorized that Christianity was a Jewish invention used in ancient times to make it easier to subjugate the goyim.
the IQ HBD debate is not very useful from a WN point of view
Agreed, but only because IQ differences are inconsequential to ethnonationalism.
It’s implications are at minimum, that all immigrants should be IQ tested and the ones who score high should be let in, many of these will be non-White
I don’t think that necessarily follows. You can point out racial differences in IQ while still not supporting immigration based on IQ.
It also implies Jews are much smarter than Whites, in fact the difference between White Gentiles and Jews is around the same as the difference between White Gentiles and African-American Blacks.
I’m sure Jews like to believe that.

Look, the problem with this debate is that I'm focusing upon empirical reality while the agitated people arguing with me are basing their opinions upon the fantasies they've been getting from Breitbart and FoxNews.
Here’s what’s happening. Mestizo immigration has been causing the more ethnocentric, average income whites to leave the state for a while now. And then rich, liberal whites have been moving in from states like New York, New Jersey, and Illinois.

This can be seen in the details of the most recent California election cycle. As the only statewide Republican officeholder and a wealthy Silicon Valley entrepreneur, Insurance Commissioner Steve Poizner was assumed to have a lock on his party’s gubernatorial nomination and naturally attracted the support of all major segments of the GOP apparatus. But then former eBay CEO Meg Whitman, an utter political neophyte but with a billion-dollar fortune, decided to enter the race and immediately became the darling of the party’s mercenary establishment, given the bottomless funds she promised to spend on her campaign. Outmatched financially, Poizner was forced to refocus on right-wing primary voters, and as a highly opportunistic fellow, he decided to ride the national tidal wave of anti-immigration fears then sweeping across the country and make it the centerpiece of his campaign, eventually spending $25 million of his own money on the effort.
The result was that he lost the primary by 40 points. When you run as an immigration hard-liner, spend $25 million on your race, and lose by 40 points among the hard-core conservatives who dominate Republican primaries, you’re clearly selling the dog food that dogs just won’t eat. These days, anti-immigration candidacies in California possess about as much resonance as anti-papist candidacies in Massachusetts.
So? All that proves is most of the Republicans that have stayed in California are the more Conservative Inc., Mitt Romney types who still believe in the myth of the natural Republican Hispanic.
https://www.amren.com/features/2019/04/the-myth-of-the-natural-republican-hispanic/
And it’s not like Whitman was exactly soft on immigration. Actually, she was probably too extreme for non-white Republicans and the Jebs, but was obviously favored over Poizner.
Whitman denied Poizner’s claim that she supports amnesty for illegal immigrants and vowed tough action if elected. She said immigration reform is in order over the long term, but first the border must be secured and other measures taken to reduce the number of illegal arrivals.
“We have got to get control of the illegal immigration problem,” she said. “I will build an economic fence to keep employers from hiring illegal aliens, and I will make sure that we eliminate sanctuary cities” — a move Poizner also espoused.

Probably just to a slight extent. If you were using small geographical areas like a particular city, that would probably be a major factor. But California is a huge state, and people who don't like non-whites can move to a different part of it. People have been leaving the state mostly because housing is so extremely expensive, the exact opposite of what you see in e.g. Detroit, Baltimore, or other dangerous areas with serious racial conflict.
Could the factoid about White voters supporting Trump less in immigrant heavy areas be attributed to bias in that the Whites who don’t like immigrants (and thus are likely to vote Trump) have moved out of these areas?
How can all these mestizo immigrants afford to live in California if the housing is so expensive?
But California is a huge state, and people who don’t like non-whites can move to a different part of it.
But they probably wouldn’t if they were angry at the state for letting non-whites into their county/city/neighborhood in the first place. Here’s what’s happening. Mestizo immigration has been causing the more ethnocentric, average income whites to leave the state for a while now. And then rich, liberal whites have been moving in from states like New York, New Jersey, and Illinois.
I’d also point out that Trump’s anti-immigration issue was most popular in states like West Virginia, which have virtually no immigrants or Hispanics and where the voters get all their information on the topic from the total nonsense on FoxNews and Breitbart.
Do you actually think that California is better off today because of mass immigration from Latin America? Do you think West Virginia would be better off if 40% of its population was mestizo?

I generally agree however I never claimed the contrary. This is all I ever said regarding it:
1.) White nationalists do not want the return of colonialism, slavery, etc. In fact, most are anti-war/anti-imperialism.
You were the one who read too much into what I was saying, not me. Be honest here, can you find where I ever said that white nationalists want to bring back colonialism? You kept fixating on this point and "trying to prove me wrong" about it, but its a claim that I never made
most white advocates ive encountered make endless rationalizations for colonization instead of arguing against it and just admitting it was wrong, including you. There are maybe like 0.05% of white advocates who will admit that european colonization was morally wrong, the rest will make flimsy apologetic arguments for it or will even be proud of it. Just FYI, im an old hand on the alt-right, ive been in this corner of the internet for over a decade now so I know what im talking about. I’ve had plenty of exposure to white advocates to know exactly how they feel and what kind of beliefs they hold, everything you’re saying is blatantly false.
I generally agree using this definition of white supremacy. Remember that you did not clarify your stance on what constitutes white supremacy until comment #332, until that point we were operating on different definitions of what constitutes white supremacy.
Virtually no white supremacists (whites who want to rule over the other races) exist today.
You don't speak for all white nationalists though. Lots of white nationalists think colonization was justifiable and right.
Pointing out silver linings in colonialism does not mean you think it was right or that it should be brought back. If we look at Africa today, we can see marked differences between the countries that were colonized and the ones that were not. The ones that were are much better off than the countries that were not colonized.
Except I was never making this argument. This is what I said:
2.) It is next to impossible to quantify whether Western Europeans demonstrated a much higher inclination and tendency to want to dominate and ruler over others than say the Mongolians, Japanese, Bantus, Ottomans, Aztecs, etc. did.
I never said that their inclination and tendency to want to dominate and rule over others was greater than other aggressive, expansive cultures. I just stated that they appear to demonstrate a much higher inclination and tendency to want to dominate and rule over others (compared to the average). You clearly misread my point and took it the wrong way, but this is not surprising since you are hypersensitive to any perceived criticisms of white people. Think about this, you've spent ten days so far arguing with me about something which you misunderstood to begin with.
We’ve had over five centuries to observe the behavior of whites, it appears that western europeans (so not necessarily all whites, which is a clumsy term in this context) demonstrate a much higher inclination and tendency to want to dominate and rule over others. If you can’t trust over 500 years of observation regarding a specific racial group then what can you trust?
Racial/ethnic psychological differences matters as well though. As I demonstrated, the chinese often had technological advantages too but they still acted differently than western europeans. Its kind of bizarre that you implied earlier that you believe in HBD but then when it comes to applying it to something like this you suddenly start soft pedaling racial differences and instead start arguing like a racial blank slate liberal.
This is because Western Europeans had an extreme technological advantage (among others) that allowed them to achieve what others could not.
This point is a non-starter, I was always pretty clear that I was referring to ethnic/cultural bloc differences as opposed to racial ones. For some reason you've spent most of this debate accusing me of singling out white people for colonization even though I was always clear I was referring to western europeans from almost the very beginning starting from comment #177.
All races have engaged in imperialism, but not necessarily all ethnic groups.
agreed
Some sub-races and ethnic groups are more expansionist and violent than others.
You're implying that all jews are religious though, which they arent. Lots of jews are secular, this is why I'll have to disagree with the thrust of your point. Your point would only apply if all jews were practicing jews that actually subscribe to the form of judaism that you're describing.
3.) Jews are unique because they have a religion and core ethnic/racial identity centered around Jewish supremacism. No other group has this, including whites, which is why whites were able to change their beliefs about colonialism, slavery, and white supremacism.
Where did I suggest that whites have collective guilt for past transgressions and have to pay for it by accepting mass immigration? I recall that you have imputed this line of thinking to me multiple times but you were never able to provide a quote for it. Can you provide a quote where I stated something like this? Please be honest if you cannot find a quote where I mentioned this. You have been continually insisting that I claimed something to this effect even though you still haven't been able to provide a quote where I said this.
It is not hypocritical for whites to resist genocide because collective guilt for past transgressions is an unjust concept. We do not imprison the children of murderers, for example. We do not say the Turks or Japanese must open their borders to the world and accept mass immigration because of the Ottoman Empire or Japanese imperialism during WWII.
mostly agree
4.) The Ming Dynasty did not engage in overseas colonialism like the Western European powers even though they could have in places like Kotte and Malacca. Whether they could have in East Africa is a matter of debate.
Why the Mings didn’t engage in overseas colonialism like the Western European powers did is also a matter of debate. They might have been relatively more isolationist and less concerned with world domination, contenting themselves with their tributary “empire”, or found that places like Kotte and Malacca did not have any natural resources for it to have been worth the trouble.partially agree. The chinese simply had different ways of doing things than western europeans. Im not sure why this is so hard for you to accept as an ostensible believer in HBD. Keep in mind that the portugese actually ended up colonizing the malacca sultante later on. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Malacca_Sultanate
not sure why this is relevant. Like I've said numerous times, I never advocated the west having to open its borders and allow its people to become a minority in their own country.Replies: @FvS
Looking at history, we can see that China has engaged in forced sinicization of various Asian peoples, even in modern times. They are also guilty of other human rights abuses. However, this does not mean it would be just for China to have to open its borders and allow its peoples to become a minority in their own country.
1.) Lots of white nationalists think colonization was justifiable and right.
No. Usually any arguments are all along the lines of it wasn’t as bad as typically portrayed or there were silver linings. I can’t recall anyone saying it was justifiable and right. And neither can you, apparently.
2.) You clearly misread my point and took it the wrong way, but this is not surprising since you are hypersensitive to any perceived criticisms of white people.
Again, without specifying who exactly you were comparing them to, it could only be interpreted you were comparing them to the rest of the world. You said nothing of an “average.”
3.) Racial/ethnic psychological differences matters as well though. As I demonstrated, the chinese often had technological advantages too but they still acted differently than western europeans. Its kind of bizarre that you implied earlier that you believe in HBD but then when it comes to applying it to something like this you suddenly start soft pedaling racial differences and instead start arguing like a racial blank slate liberal.
Racial/ethnic psychological differences do matter of course. But Western Europeans and the Chinese had different needs, were surrounded by different competition, had different religions, encountered different people, had different levels of technological advantage, etc. That’s why I said it was an apples to oranges comparison. Racial/ethnic differences in submissiveness might also exist and there is evidence of this in the fact that the Amerindians were not used as slaves like Africans were. The Amerindians and the various Asian peoples the Chinese encountered are not the same people. I think we can infer that the Amerindians would not submit to Chinese domination. And if the Mings had wanted their gold and silver, they would have been force to use similar methods that the Europeans used (if they had the same technological advantage). And frankly, the existence of Chinese atrocities over the centuries has not convinced me that they were a more enlightened people. Even the Mings wiped out entire tribes during the Miao Rebellions.
4.) You’re implying that all jews are religious though, which they arent. Lots of jews are secular, this is why I’ll have to disagree with the thrust of your point. Your point would only apply if all jews were practicing jews that actually subscribe to the form of judaism that you’re describing.
Like I said, Jewish racial/ethnic identity and culture is shaped by their religion. And secular Jews frequently make use to their advantage the networks built by Jewish supremacists aka organized Jewry. Not all Western Europeans participated in colonialism either.
5.) Where did I suggest that whites have collective guilt for past transgressions and have to pay for it by accepting mass immigration?
Why do white nationalists always criticize jews by claiming that jews are racial supremacists that seek world domination? This is the pot calling the kettle black; whites literally thought and acted this way for over five centuries, the only race that actually desired to dominate the entire world and succeeded in doing so was whites. Why do white nationalists have such an appalling lack of self awareness?
You literally said that modern whites are collectively guilty for being racial supremacists in the past and so are hypocritical for criticizing Jewish supremacy taking place in the present. So white nationalists should just shut up about it and accept their fate.
1.) I said, “That’s because they weren’t technologically inferior. The Chinese never had the same technological advantages that the Europeans had. Europeans had better armor and weapons.” The second sentence was to clarify the first, but you just ignored it. You cannot dispute that the technological advantages the Europeans had over the people they colonized was much greater than the technological advantages the Chinese had over the people they encountered. This put the Europeans in a stronger position in case of rebellion.The point is not whether or not europeans may have had a much greater technological advantage over the indigenous people that they encountered vis a vis the chinese; whether this is true or not is immaterial to the point at hand. The point is that you were originally making the argument that the chinese were technologically inferior (and this is well supported by your own text), and you were ultimately proven wrong. However in spite of just admitting you were wrong you keep trying to make twisted contortions about what you really meant when actually your own words clearly indicate the thrust of your original argument. See comment #366
well apparently the portuguese saw fit to colonize malacca and kotte :)https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portuguese_Malacca
2.) Again, wanting a vassal state and wanting a country’s natural resources are two different things that require different methods. We don’t know if Kotte and Malacca would have been worth colonizing in the first place. If they weren’t, then that could be a reason why the Chinese did not.
Under the Ming dynasty, countries that wanted to have any form of relationship with China, political, economic or otherwise, had to enter the tribute system. As a result, tribute was often paid for opportunistic reasons rather than as a serious gesture of allegiance to the Chinese emperor, and the mere fact that tribute was paid may not be understood in a way that China had political leverage over its tributary.In other words, the mings probably would have met with the amerindians and traded with them. By entering into the chinese tribute system, the amerindian civilizations would get access to trading rights with china. It would be a profitable arrangement for both parties, example below:
7.) We cannot infer how the Ming would have treated the Amerindians because they are completely different peoples from the ones the Mings encountered. I highly doubt they would have submitted to being vassals.
The concept of vassal state in this context is extremely shakey, im not even sure if the ming dynasty would have been particularly interested in setting up overseas colonies in the first place or trying to maintain any kind of serious political control over them. Why go through all that trouble when you can just trade with the people? It would probably be a similar arrangement to what happened in malacca
The tribute system was an economically profitable form of government trade, and Korea requested and successfully increased the number of tributes sent to Ming from once every three years to three times each year starting in 1400, and eventually four times each year starting in 1531.[73]
Except your point fits perfectly within everything ive already written. The ming dynasty wasnt interested in controlling malacca as a colony, they just wanted good relations with the area because it was conducive to trade. As for vietnam this was a regional matter and china has historically been deeply interested in regional matters as I have written numerous times before, the same goes for the miao rebellions which happened within the heart of the ming dynasty itself.
Also, we don’t know if we would be getting the Mings that traded with the Malaccas, the Mings that colonized and sinicized the Vietnamese, or the Mings that castrated 1,565 Miao boys.
I never claimed that the mings were perfect or moral beings. Context also matters here, castration was a historically accepted institution in china. You can read more about it here:https://books.google.com/books?id=Ka6jNJcX_ygC&pg=PA16&dq=miao+rebellion+tribe+southwest+china+ming&hl=en&ei=yE_MTLnOIsKBlAfDw7XlCA&sa=X&oi=book_result&ct=result&resnum=3&ved=0CDwQ6AEwAg#v=onepage&q&f=false
or the Mings that castrated 1,565 Miao boys.
The amerindians were extremely vicious to settlers, but the chinese were never that interested in setting up colonies. I dont deny that some amerindians might have still been vicious to hypothetical ming visitors, but you yourself are ironically making an apples to oranges comparison since the chinese were more traders, ambassadors, etc as opposed to settlers (en masse). Also not all amerindians were nomadic tribes and some had relatively advanced civilizations, IE the aztecs, incas, etc
8.) Comparing the American war with the Amerindians to Chinese colonization of Vietnam is an apples to oranges comparison because they are different peoples. The Vietnamese had a formal state structure in which leadership and control could be effectively transferred and maintained. The Amerindians were extremely vicious to settlers and mutual hatred just kind of spiraled out of control.
again, this is a regional/internal matter. I never denied that china engaged in regional colonization. Also you need to read up on the context of these events, these were event that were happening within china itself and then there were significant events that occurred even prior to these events. The point being, the ming dynasty didnt come across some random indigenous people they had never met before and exterminate them, these were ongoing events that had prior context and buildup. This is different than european colonists randomly showing up some day and then going on to colonize people they had no prior history with. Indigenous tribes that are inhabiting your country itself or the nearby region and could create issues/rebellions != indigenous tribes in a far away land that have zero effect on your country.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ming_conquest_of_Yunnan
They would not submit like so many of China’s enemies did. Here though, the Mings are said to have wiped out indigenous tribes.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sinicization#Ming_dynasty
your point is not incorrect, but I was primarily referring to the fact that your original argument was still disproven:
10.) With regard to the Somalians, I keep telling you that there is more to technology than just proto-firearms and cannons. Horses and armor matter. Here is a quote about how the Qings defeated the Mings.
The Ming Dynasty was eventually replaced in 1644 by the Qing Dynasty: who combined ambush tactics with heavy cavalry to overwhelm Ming infantry; who were slowed down by their heavy cannons and handcannons
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
You keep coping. The fact is the chinese had firearm and cannon technology at this time and the somalians didnt because they were still using swords and bows and arrows. The chinese had a major technological advantage period. You wanted to claim that the chinese didn’t meet any technologically inferior people at the time and you were wrong.
well duh. Who else am I going to compare them to, aliens?
You never specified in comparison to whom, and by singling out Western Europeans, it was implied that you meant in comparison to everyone else.
what I wrote was a comparative statement, the "average" im referring to is implied through the use of the comparative form of the adjective high:
You never mentioned anything about an “average” before (whatever that would be)
let me take my original text and substitute some words, that way you will better understand that my grammar and choice of words was actually innocuous:
demonstrate a much higher inclination and tendency to want to dominate and rule over others
(original text)
We’ve had over five centuries to observe the behavior of whites, it appears that western europeans (so not necessarily all whites, which is a clumsy term in this context) demonstrate a much higher inclination and tendency to want to dominate and rule over others.
(modified text)do you understand now? I was making a generalized statement about western europeans commenting about their apparent higher than normal tendency to want to dominate and rule over others. Saying this does not imply that western europeans demonstrate the highest inclination and tendency to want to dominate and rule over others; if I wanted to say that then I would have just used the superlative "highest" to begin with
We’ve had over five centuries to observe the behavior of whites, it appears that western europeans (so not necessarily all whites, which is a clumsy term in this context) demonstrate a much higher rate of creativity and tendency to be tall
I was never really referring to races in a broad sense, I did so once in comment #118 but then quickly specified what I was referring to in my next comment to you (comment #177). Its silly to continue trying to keep talking about races when ive made it repeatedly clear that im talking about civilizational clusters/cultural blocs/ethnicities. Anyways you can't really prove that the drives are identical, there is no precise way to quantify this, all you can do is conjecture about it. You should know this since you always insist on certain things being unquantifiable, example below:
That’s because of all the other races (but not all ethnic groups) have exhibited identical drives to dominate others.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
But again, it’s difficult to quantify given the extreme technological advantage they had.
they have been an excellent counterpoint to use and its caused you to think a lot deeper on this subject than you would have otherwise. Besides, you could have stopped responding about the mings or just indicated that you didnt want to discuss them at any time but you didnt, instead you chose to keep debating about them as well.
It’s not my fault you stopped reading after one sentence. Besides, the whole Ming debate is ultimately irrelevant. What were you hoping to prove by bringing them up? That they were more moral than the Western Europeans?
Actually with regards to colonialism it isn't practiced anymore because WW1 and WW2 broke the west's back and basically forced them to abandon their colonial possessions. Its not like the west en masse decided out of the goodness of their hearts that they werent going to practice colonialism anymore.
No, they don’t. Our belief systems are central to everything we do. Why don’t whites engage in colonialism or slavery any more? We changed our beliefs.
can you prove this? This sounds like a racial blank slate argument to me. What youre saying here is basically a supposition that's patently unprovable. Take away their beliefs and jews would change, but would everything about them change? Not necessarily. Its entirely possible that jews have a unique genetic psychology which would always be in opposition to western europeans. Im not saying that this is fact, because I cannot prove it, but I am saying that its a possibility.
Jews do what they do because of their religious beliefs and because they believe themselves to be racially superior to the goyim. Take away these beliefs, and everything about them changes.
this doesnt disprove what I said though:So you have no idea how many white nationalists think colonialism was right. I’ll give you a hint (not very many).
9.) You’re trying to claim that im wrong while forgetting the fact that when I gave you the 60-70% figure I was explicitly using my own definition of a white supremacist.
Your response is a non-sequiturLOL. We already covered this buddy back in comment #316 where I asked you to define what you consider as a white supremacist. You’re trying to claim that im wrong while forgetting the fact that when I gave you the 60-70% figure I was explicitly using my own definition of a white supremacist. You didn’t provide your definition of what you considered a white supremacist until after that post. You’re trying to claim im wrong but your logic is chronologically messed up.
A white supremacist would want the return of colonialism. You claimed that up to 60-70% of race realists could be white supremacists, but not even all race realists are white nationalists, yet alone white supremacists.
Except my reasoning is correct though. If a similar situation were to happen again then people would have the benefit of hindsight and perhaps try to avoid doing the same thing that they did in the past. The nuclear bombings of japan might be considered justified by some people because back then people didnt have the benefit of hindsight. Its possible to think a past action was justified without wanting to repeat that action later on because in that past moment, and in that past situation, given the available past options and without the ability of foresight, a certain past action might have seemed like a logical or right one, however moving into the present and into the future, situations change, which in turn make past justifiable actions no longer as tenable to repeat, although the past action in question itself is still considered as justifiable since this was due to the action being done in its own unique time period with its own unique attending circumstances.Replies: @FvSThey obviously would if we were in the same situation again. But that example is totally different from colonialism and why it existed in the first place.
10.) Some people think the nuclear bombings of japan were justified but that doesn’t mean that they want to see it happen again. Your reasoning is really simplistic
But you still didnt answer my question, where I was specifically talking about the sins of “whites”?We’ve already gone through this. At this point, I’m just taking any use of whites as just shorthand for Western Europeans in the context of this thread. You should too.
also where I was specifically talking about the sins of “whites”? do you mean western europeans? Why pretend like I was ever acting like I was talking about all whites when I made sure to clarify that I was talking about western europeans very early on.
Hey this is what you wrote:Did you know that there are degrees of “badness”? I brought it up because it’s colonialism, end of story. It doesn’t need to be on par with European style colonialism to make it wrong.
why else would you bring up the point below if you weren’t trying to suggest that neo-colonialism is in some way similarly bad to european style colonialism?
What else am I supposed to think? you write stuff and then claim you meant something different all the time lol
It wouldn’t surprise me one bit coming from these people. Do you support Chinese neocolonialism in Africa or not? Let’s see if you’re a hypocrite.
nope:Colonialism is colonialism
4.) was always referring to global colonization, it was you who took it out of context
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------I was always referring to global colonization, it was you who took it out of context (not surprisingly). You tried to use the xinjiang and tibet situation against me and I told you that you can't use it against me since I always admitted that china practiced regional dominance/colonization.
Just to be absolutely clear on this; if china ever begins invading the world and acts exactly in the same manner as european colonizers did then I will have no problem condemning the chinese. Due to your WN blinkers you are under the impression that im hypocritical and “anti-white” but the truth is that im interested in being fair and non-biased as possible. Colonialism is colonialism, it doesnt matter who does it, its immoral.
If china did this then the CIA would move in in earnest and then fully utilize xinjiang and tibet as a launching pads for terrorists or other disruptive actions towards china. Like I said, the situation with china and its local "colonies" is significantly different than with the west and its overseas colonies. You are ironically comparing apples and oranges
There’s one thing they could do instead of colonization, and they wouldn’t have to worry about the CIA (if your conspiracy theory is true) any more. Let them be independent. Give it away like the Europeans did to their colonies.

and they wouldn’t have to worry about the CIA (if your conspiracy theory is true)
WW1 and WW2 was the primary cause for europeans giving up their colonies (IE losers lost their colonies or the war just bankrupted the european governments amongst many other factors)http://ieg-ego.eu/en/threads/europe-and-the-world/european-overseas-rule/fabian-klose-decolonization-and-revolution#TheAnticolonialRevolutionandtheDissolutionoftheEuropeanColonialEmpires19141975https://www.bbc.co.uk/history/british/modern/endofempire_overview_01.shtmlThe europeans didnt always willingly give up their colonies, the reality of the situation was much more complex than how you're trying to represent it.
Give it away like the Europeans did to their colonies.
you didn't disprove my original point though, everybody got hurt during this time period. Your point would be more valid if only the tibetans got hurt, but china was fighting against itself during this time period and destroying everything, even its own culture.
Embarrassing for you. It wasn’t just some accident. It was the result of deliberate policies against the Tibetan people. I should’ve expected you to defend it though LOL.
like I said its hard to say how bad it really is and whats actually going on due to all of the disinformation going around. Who knows if organ harvesting is really going on or not. I found this regarding the falun gong organ harvesting situation:https://thegrayzone.com/2019/09/30/reports-china-organ-harvesting-cult-falun-gong/I would prefer to remain agnostic about the situation. Remember, you were the one who fell for an obvious disinformation meme lol
Well, China is an authoritarian dictatorship that does this sort of thing.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Organ_harvesting_from_Falun_Gong_practitioners_in_China
lol, I didn't though. If there are any people reading our exchange they can easily go through my comments and look for conversations ive had with people about colonization. If I was lying then I wouldn't post this link in the first place. Like I said, ive had plenty of debates with white nationalists about colonization where they try to rationalize it and make excuses for it instead of just admitting it was wrong.https://www.unz.com/comments/all/?commenterfilter=GammaRay
I found one person, and they weren’t even white. Why did you lie?
You're being purposely dense if you cant acknowledge that the west's colonial history helped set the scene for globalization and mass immigration. I can give you one very good example, if it wasnt for european colonization then billions of third worlders wouldnt be so familiar with western culture and western languages. Due to billions of third worlders being so familiar with western culture and western languages it makes it that much easier for them to immigrate to and integrate into western societies. Notice how a ton of the UK's immigrants are from its former colonies? The same goes for france too
Technology, trade, mililtary might, etc. Technology being the big one. None of that is dependent on any kind of colonial framework. Truthfully, you are very quick to point out anything that makes whites look bad while hardly making a peep about anyone else.
yeah but this doesnt have anything to do with your original point and my answer to your original point:Again, you singled out Western Europeans as being the worst race when it came to world domination and whatnot.
uh…I was never making a broad claim about the asian race. Why do you keep bringing up points which I never made?
Replies: @FvSuh…I was never making a broad claim about the asian race. Why do you keep bringing up points which I never made?
But you did claim they were less bloodthirsty and power hungry than the Europeans. This may or may not be true, but it also says nothing about whether Asians as a race are, let alone all other races.
Apples and oranges indeed. Your point proves that the spirit of your original argument is indefensible
Racial/ethnic psychological differences do matter of course. But Western Europeans and the Chinese had different needs, were surrounded by different competition, had different religions, encountered different people, had different levels of technological advantage, etc. That’s why I said it was an apples to oranges comparison.
Whats been going on in this debate is a little bit complicated but im going to try to unpack it. Initially I made a broad statement about whites, which you then responded to with the above quote referring broadly to races; afterwards I specified my claim since I was originally talking about western europeans and not all whites. From that point on in the conversation I made a consistent effort to point out that I was talking about things on the ethnic/cultural bloc level as opposed to at the racial level. Its within this context (the ethnic/cultural bloc level, not the racial level) that I was debating against the notion that all other "races" would have done the same if they were in the place of western europeans. Ironically your apples and oranges argument is supporting my original thesis. For various reasons, different ethnicities might or might not have tried to dominate the world if they were in a position to do so. To say that all ethnicities/cultural blocs would have acted in the same way were they in the position of western europeans is a really broad and unprovable statement due to its inherent complexity. Just to be completely clear though, I was never interested in having a broad conversation about race; and I think that my comments throughout this debate reflect this as well. As far as im concerned, regarding this particular argument I think we have come to an agreement. OTOH if you're trying to have a conversation about entire races (as opposed to ethnicities and cultural blocs) then im not interested in it, and never was.
All the other races would have done the same in our place, they just weren’t ever strong enough to even come close to accomplishing it.
Or maybe the mings might have just traded for it, like they did for everything else. Truthfully you dont know exactly what they would have done (nor do I). Its inane that you assume that the mings would have automatically resorted to force
Racial/ethnic differences in submissiveness might also exist and there is evidence of this in the fact that the Amerindians were not used as slaves like Africans were. The Amerindians and the various Asian peoples the Chinese encountered are not the same people. I think we can infer that the Amerindians would not submit to Chinese domination. And if the Mings had wanted their gold and silver, they would have been force to use similar methods that the Europeans used (if they had the same technological advantage).
No you misread it, I was always referring to white nationalists. Here is my quote again:You literally said that modern whites are collectively guilty for being racial supremacists in the past and so are hypocritical for criticizing Jewish supremacy taking place in the present. So white nationalists should just shut up about it and accept their fate.
5.) Where did I suggest that whites have collective guilt for past transgressions and have to pay for it by accepting mass immigration?
The bolded part was me just referring to what whites did but I was actually implying that white nationalists are hypocritical because they always try to make justifications for white world domination while crying about jews trying to do the same. The primary subject of my paragraph was white nationalists which can be seen by the fact that I began and ended my paragraph by referring to white nationalists.besides that, can you show me somewhere else in this thread where I made the argument that whites have collective guilt for past transgressions and have to pay for it by accepting mass immigration?Replies: @FvS
Why do white nationalists always criticize jews by claiming that jews are racial supremacists that seek world domination? This is the pot calling the kettle black; whites literally thought and acted this way for over five centuries, the only race that actually desired to dominate the entire world and succeeded in doing so was whites. Why do white nationalists have such an appalling lack of self awareness?
More evidence for whites being uniquely good then there is for whites being uniquely bad. All races know how to kill.
Yeah lol, this actually isnt even true. If you want to discuss this point further then pick a specific quote and post number and we will discuss it specifically. The thing is, your claim falls apart when we actually examine the specific conversations at hand, anybody reading this can see this as well. Its easy for you to make a broad claim like this, but bring up specific examples and lets discuss them. Don't hide behind broad claims, get specific.also where I was specifically talking about the sins of "whites"? do you mean western europeans? Why pretend like I was ever acting like I was talking about all whites when I made sure to clarify that I was talking about western europeans very early on.Don't forget, the entire reason I was airing the dirty laundry of western europeans was in response to you (as a white advocate/white nationalist) claiming that jews were bad for wanting world domination. I didn't bring up negative things about "whites" randomly just to rag on whites, I brought it up because it was pertinent to the point which you originally made. Like dude, if you get so butthurt over people disagreeing with you then why do you leave comments in the first place?Chinese treatment of the Vietnamese, Uyghurs, and Tibetans or ignoring the Mongolians, Japanese, Aztecs, Bantus, Ottomans, etc.I dont recall doing this. Show specific posts where I did this.
All your posts were about the sins of whites while making excuses for or even ignoring what other races have done.
Yeah nobody suggested that the chinese are trying to "uplift" africa out of the kindness of their hearts
Well, they’re definitely doing more than just engaging in trade. That can’t be disputed. And I guarantee they aren’t trying to “uplift” Africa out of the kindness of their hearts.
why else would you bring up the point below if you weren't trying to suggest that neo-colonialism is in some way similarly bad to european style colonialism?
Then you misunderstood.
we've been having a conversation about european style colonization and you asked me if I support chinese neocolonialism in africa or not in order to see if im a hypocrite. The fact that you were trying to see if I was a hypocrite or not suggests that you consider european style colonization and chinese neocolonialism as the same. If you truly thought that they were different then you never would have asked me that question in the first place.
It wouldn’t surprise me one bit coming from these people. Do you support Chinese neocolonialism in Africa or not? Let’s see if you’re a hypocrite.
no it wasnt, go back to the original comment where this topic originated (#318):
The point was about colonization in general and the way the people being colonized were treated.
I was always referring to global colonization, it was you who took it out of context (not surprisingly)
Just to be absolutely clear on this; if china ever begins invading the world and acts exactly in the same manner as european colonizers did then I will have no problem condemning the chinese. Due to your WN blinkers you are under the impression that im hypocritical and “anti-white” but the truth is that im interested in being fair and non-biased as possible. Colonialism is colonialism, it doesnt matter who does it, its immoral.
No, actually it is different. China's "colonization" attempts of xinjiang and tibet are largely being done in order to stabilize the area and keep the CIA from using the locations to foment unrest in china. Therefore china has a vested interest in pacifying the area; china acting this way in xinjiang and tibet is qualitatively different than china randomly going to some foreign country and trying to colonize them. I think that china's version of colonization would be more accurately called "reactive" colonization. Besides, if china is really trying to colonize different cultures in bad faith then why isnt it trying to colonize the other 55 minority groups in china? Funny how the only places that china is colonizing are the same places that have been targets of CIA destabilization effortsOnly a matter of location.
What china is supposedly doing in xinjiang and tibet is different than china randomly showing up at some random country and then invading and colonizing them.
this is pretty embarrassing that you posted this. It just goes to show how uninformed you are most of the time. You do realize that everyone in china (including the han chinese) got damaged during the great leap forward and the cultural revolution right? Look it up yourself dudehttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Leap_Forward
During the Great Leap Forward, between 200,000 and 1,000,000 Tibetans may have died.,[62] and approximately 6,000 monasteries were destroyed during the Cultural Revolution, thus the vast majority of historic Tibetan architecture was destroyed.[63]
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tibet#From_1950_to_present
9/11 was also pretty well documented, do you believe the official version? Do you know how many documents, articles, news reports etc there are out there that support the official version? As you saw yourself with the fake picture you posted, disinformation is really easy to spread, the reason why is because most people will not bother to dig into the facts and try to understand what's actually going on. I think that china is probably engaging in some colonial type practices in xinjiang, but its hard to say how bad it really is and whats actually going on due to all of the disinformation going around. Equally important is to ask why they are doing this in the first place, which I alluded to above. Anyways, you do know that the US actively spreads propaganda and disinformation right? https://www.unz.com/avltchek/march-of-the-uyghurs/Anyways all of this is a moot point because I never denied that china engaged in regional colonization. Therefore you're not "proving me wrong" by posting stuff about tibet and xinjiang. I was clearly talking about africa in the context of global colonization to begin with.
It’s pretty well documented. They’re doing things the Europeans did at times in their colonies. Some of it’s worse. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uyghurs#Persecution_of_Uyghurs_in_Xinjiang
yeah but whats the point? The chinese are quite racist towards africans and so what?
Haha, don’t give me that nonsense. Calling attention to Jewish power and the Jewish role in the destruction of my people is not the same as opening an art exhibit comparing Africans to primates. Just do a google search of Chinese Africa racism. There are tons of articles.
Like I said, you seem to care more about this than I do. If you care so much then go look for it yourself, I only have 128 comments and I discuss this topic pretty frequently.https://www.unz.com/comments/all/?commenterfilter=GammaRayI didn’t think you’d be able to.
You seem to care more about it than I do, so go look for it yourself. I only have 125 comments and I discuss this particular topic quite frequently so it shouldnt be hard for you to find a comment where im having discussions about colonization with white nationalists.
Mass immigration and globalist free trade would be significantly curtailed if the world was not so strongly interconnected, how did the world get so strongly interconnected? the colonization of the world by the west, which made the world a much smaller place. Truthfully you are just sensitive about anything that might make whites look bad, that's why you protest so much and try to deny anything that might cast whites in a bad light
I disagree. Mass immigration and globalist free trade are not dependent on the existence of colonialism.
actually it turns out that I was wrong about this. The page that I was getting my information about the lam son uprising actually had incorrect information:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fourth_Chinese_domination_of_VietnamThe correct information regarding the situation was in the link that you provided. I do retract my point in comment #347 since it was based on false information.
The final campaign did not start well for the Ming forces...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lam_Son_uprising
That being said, It turns out that the vietnamese adopted firearm technology from the ming dynasty in the late 14th century so its not surprising that the last and most short lived domination of vietnam by china coincided with vietnam gaining firearm technology a few decades prior.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Po_Binasuor
Or maybe they weren’t really that interested in “domination” to begin with:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In 1390, Po Binasuor was finally stopped in another invasion of the capital, when his royal barge suffered a musketry salvo.[2]:107–109

You singled out Western Europeans as being uniquely bad. Obviously, you were comparing them to everyone else.
also where I was specifically talking about the sins of “whites”? do you mean western europeans? Why pretend like I was ever acting like I was talking about all whites when I made sure to clarify that I was talking about western europeans very early on.
We’ve already gone through this. At this point, I’m just taking any use of whites as just shorthand for Western Europeans in the context of this thread. You should too.
Don’t forget, the entire reason I was airing the dirty laundry of western europeans was in response to you (as a white advocate/white nationalist) claiming that jews were bad for wanting world domination.
In present times.
2.) Yeah nobody suggested that the chinese are trying to “uplift” africa out of the kindness of their hearts
I don’t know, you seem to have a quite the love affair with the Chinese.
why else would you bring up the point below if you weren’t trying to suggest that neo-colonialism is in some way similarly bad to european style colonialism?
Did you know that there are degrees of “badness”? I brought it up because it’s colonialism, end of story. It doesn’t need to be on par with European style colonialism to make it wrong.
3.) The fact that you were trying to see if I was a hypocrite or not suggests that you consider european style colonization and chinese neocolonialism as the same.
No. It’s like the difference between killing 1,000 people or only 100. One is worse, but both are wrong.
4.) was always referring to global colonization, it was you who took it out of context
Colonialism is colonialism

There’s one thing they could do instead of colonization, and they wouldn’t have to worry about the CIA (if your conspiracy theory is true) any more. Let them be independent. Give it away like the Europeans did to their colonies.

uh…I was never making a broad claim about the asian race. Why do you keep bringing up points which I never made?
Again, you singled out Western Europeans as being the worst race when it came to world domination and whatnot.
lol. You clearly didn't understand the point, or logic for that matter. The mongolians and the japanese having imperial ambitions would only help disprove the claim that only western europeans demonstrate a much higher inclination and tendency to want to dominate and rule over others. The fact that there are other martial, dominating ethnicities out there doesn't disprove the claim that Western Europeans demonstrate a much higher inclination and tendency to want to dominate and rule over others, it just means that other martial, dominating ethnicities exist. Your understanding of my point doesnt make any sense at all, its clear you don't understand the logic of it.
That was your second claim. The imperial ambitions of the Mongolians and Japanese help disprove the claim that Western Europeans demonstrate a much higher inclination and tendency to want to dominate and rule over others.
This is your cope because you don't want to admit that racial/ethnic differences in wanting to dominate others might exist. Throughout this entire conversation you've expressed extreme displeasure at the fact that maybe western europeans display some different psychological features than other races/ethnicities in the world. If I had said something positive like that western europeans exhibit unusual creativity and intelligence then you would have lapped it up, but you only got butthurt because it was something negative lol.
It’s also something extremely difficult to quantify in the first place given technological differences as I pointed out.
why do you keep bringing this up? I've not been hypocritical about this:
You didn’t mention the Mongolians or anyone else because you wanted to use the Ming Chinese as your cherrypicked example.
later on I explicitly clarified my stance in comment #284:
We’ve had over five centuries to observe the behavior of whites, it appears that western europeans (so not necessarily all whites, which is a clumsy term in this context) demonstrate a much higher inclination and tendency to want to dominate and rule over others. If you can’t trust over 500 years of observation regarding a specific racial group then what can you trust?
Its not cherry picking if i'm consistent with my logic (comment #177) and also clarify my logic as well (comment #284). Youre trying to suggest that I was making the argument that all asians are less dominating than west europeans and that I was cherry picking by not mentioning the mongolians, but I was never doing this to begin with and in comment #284 I explicitly clarified this. Why did you even try making this argument when its blatantly false?
When I mentioned the chinese I was referring only to the chinese and not all asians, although I’ll admit that wasn’t explicit about this. That being said, I was consistent with my logic because in the same comment I clarified what we meant regarding “races” with regards to white people. I never claimed to speak about whites in general, only western european whites. I mentioned this in comment #177 which I ironically enough wrote to you, you just dont remember:
never said they didn't. Why continue to make strawmen?
But even the Mings engaged in imperialism and committed atrocities.
I never said that whites were the only ones to colonize and dominate lol. You look ridiculous because of how badly you have misunderstood my argument. Isn't it funny that you still don't get it?
Then we have the Aztecs, Bantus, Ottomans, etc. Your claim is ridiculous.
Except...I didn't say this. Mind showing me where I claimed this? This is all I claimed:
And you were talking about whites being worse than everyone else in the world, so yes, the rest of the world is relevant.
So...claiming that western europeans (and not even all whites lol) demonstrate a much higher inclination and tendency to want to dominate and rule over others is the same as saying that whites are being worse than everyone else in the world? There are a couple of dominating ethnicities/cultural blocs in the world, western europeans are one of those. Stop whining that im being so mean to you. Its pathetic, its so funny how much white nationalists whine and complain when they even suspect someone is being waaacist against whites. You guys are no different than liberal snowflakes, pathetic.
We’ve had over five centuries to observe the behavior of whites, it appears that western europeans (so not necessarily all whites, which is a clumsy term in this context) demonstrate a much higher inclination and tendency to want to dominate and rule over others. If you can’t trust over 500 years of observation regarding a specific racial group then what can you trust?
Except...you still totally misunderstood the point lmao. Subsequently both of your points about the mongolians and the japanese became false in light of this.
Good, so we agree that the only thing that separates whites (or those that had colonies) from all the other races are the reasons that they succeeded.
No, its pretty clear that you've been trying to move goal posts. Typically you will make some unfounded claim, then I will disprove it, and then instead of you admitting that your claim was wrong, you double down and try moving the goal posts. By doing this you demonstrate a lack of integrityRaising additional points is not moving the goal posts, and you haven’t even tried to refute them.
As i’ve demonstrated over and over again, you keep backpedaling and trying to throw out new arguments/moving goal posts whenever I disprove one of your points.
Except...your original argument was that the chinese had no technological superiority over the indigenous people that they met. After I proved that wrong you subsequently went on to claim that they had no handheld guns at all which I also disproved. What youre saying regarding the superiority of the arquebus may be true, but its immaterial to the fact that you were wrong on multiple occasions regarding the topic of chinese technological superiority (or lack thereof). To clarify this even better, you were originally claiming that the chinese didn't colonize anybody because they were technologically equal to the indigenous people that they met and as such didn't have any sort of advantage, its only after I disproved this notion and demonstrated that the chinese did have access to better technology that you began to start trying to emphasize how the degree of technological superiority was actually what matters. How weasely is that? Take your L dude, its not my fault that you throw out lazy, easily disprovable arguments.
The Chinese on the arquebus in 1560 (well over a 100 years after Zheng voyages): It is unlike any other of the many types of fire weapons. In strength it can pierce armor. In accuracy it can strike the center of targets, even to the point of hitting the eye of a coin [i.e., shooting right through a coin], and not just for exceptional shooters. … The arquebus [鳥銃] is such a powerful weapon and is so accurate that even bow and arrow cannot match it, and … nothing is so strong as to be able to defend against it.[70]

yup...and the same logic which you used to show that whites are not uniquely bad for wanting to dominate the world also means that jews are not uniquely bad for wanting to dominate the world. You never said anything about beliefs or intent mattering in the logic which you used to "exonerate" whites, likewise we must equally apply this logic to every other group, including jews.
No, it is you that doesn’t understand. I never tried to exonerate whites. I just showed that whites are not uniquely bad for wanting to dominate the world, something you admit.
Except I wasn't talking about the jews. We can make it any group, pygmys, some obscure tribe in the amazon, it doesnt matter. Lets just assume that there was some random tribe in the middle of nowhere that was weak and small in numbers BUT they had a religion and core racial/ethnic identity based upon the supremacy of their race; according to you they would be uniquely bad in spite of being objectively powerless. Your reasoning is ridiculous and is basically tantamount to magical thinking. The intent of a people matters much less than their actions. Likewise your logic could support other equally absurd scenarios. What if there was a race of people who believed in helping others, are completely anti-racial supremacist and believe in trying to be good to everyone but then in their actions they went and killed millions of people? According to your logic, they are still good because they have good beliefs even though through their actions they killed millions of people. Intent and beliefs matter significantly less than you think they do, your reasoning on this point has always been weak.
Yes, they are uniquely bad because no other group has religion and core racial/ethnic identity based upon the supremacy of their race. And they are far from powerless, quite the contrary. They continue on a quest for world domination in modern times even after whites have changed their ways. What’s the white equivalent of the Torah and Talmud? 🙂
But its patently bizarre reasoning, you condemn jews and then you claim that there is no way for them to escape your condemnation even if they are secular. How fucked up is that? For someone that cries so loud about how whites are different for being able to change and become better, yet you totally close off this possibility for jews. This right here demonstrates how fucked up your thinking is dude. So some random blue collar jew who doesn't even practice his culture/religion anymore is uniquely bad, ok.
On the other hand, subjugation of the goyim is built into the Jewish identity. Their religion is literally a roadmap for world domination, and their racial/ethnic consciousness is based upon “choseness” and genetic superiority. Secular Jews are not exempt from this because they still belong to the greater Jewish ethnic identity and culture which has largely been defined by Judaism the religion.
LOL. We already covered this buddy back in comment #316 where I asked you to define what you consider as a white supremacist. You're trying to claim that im wrong while forgetting the fact that when I gave you the 60-70% figure I was explicitly using my own definition of a white supremacist. You didn't provide your definition of what you considered a white supremacist until after that post. You're trying to claim im wrong but your logic is chronologically messed up.
A white supremacist would want the return of colonialism. You claimed that up to 60-70% of race realists could be white supremacists, but not even all race realists are white nationalists, yet alone white supremacists.
sometimes but not necessarily. Some people think the nuclear bombings of japan were justified but that doesn't mean that they want to see it happen again. Your reasoning is really simplisticReplies: @dfordoom, @FvS
And you still don’t seem to understand the concept of silver linings. Obviously, if you think something is justified, that it is right, you would probably want to see its return.
1.) You made the claim that Western Europeans demonstrate a much higher inclination and tendency to want to dominate and rule over others. You never specified in comparison to whom, and by singling out Western Europeans, it was implied that you meant in comparison to everyone else. You never mentioned anything about an “average” before (whatever that would be). What you should have said is that Western Europeans are one of the groups that have demonstrated a much higher inclination and tendency to dominate and rule over others. In which case, I would have agreed with you. But again, it’s difficult to quantify given the extreme technological advantage they had. You got proven wrong that Western Europeans were somehow uniquely bad and now you’re trying to cover your ass.
2.) This is your cope because you don’t want to admit that racial/ethnic differences in wanting to dominate others might exist. Throughout this entire conversation you’ve expressed extreme displeasure at the fact that maybe western europeans display some different psychological features than other races/ethnicities in the world. If I had said something positive like that western europeans exhibit unusual creativity and intelligence then you would have lapped it up, but you only got butthurt because it was something negative lol.
That’s because of all the other races (but not all ethnic groups) have exhibited identical drives to dominate others. The same cross-racial consistency does not exist for creativity and intelligence. And I do admit that racial/ethnic differences in wanting to dominate others might exist.
3.) Stop whining that im being so mean to you. Its pathetic, its so funny how much white nationalists whine and complain when they even suspect someone is being waaacist against whites. You guys are no different than liberal snowflakes, pathetic.
Lol, so salty. But again, you singled out whites as being worse than everyone else. That’s the only way your initial claim could have been taken.
4.) Typically you will make some unfounded claim, then I will disprove it, and then instead of you admitting that your claim was wrong, you double down and try moving the goal posts.
Something you’re well-versed in, it appears.
5.) To clarify this even better, you were originally claiming that the chinese didn’t colonize anybody because they were technologically equal to the indigenous people that they met and as such didn’t have any sort of advantage, its only after I disproved this notion and demonstrated that the chinese did have access to better technology that you began to start trying to emphasize how the degree of technological superiority was actually what matters. How weasely is that? Take your L dude, its not my fault that you throw out lazy, easily disprovable arguments.
It’s not my fault you stopped reading after one sentence. Besides, the whole Ming debate is ultimately irrelevant. What were you hoping to prove by bringing them up? That they were more moral than the Western Europeans?
6.) yup…and the same logic which you used to show that whites are not uniquely bad for wanting to dominate the world also means that jews are not uniquely bad for wanting to dominate the world.
Except we were talking about a specific time period, the height of colonialism. Jews are continuing their quest to dominate the world in the modern era even after beliefs about such things have changed. And yes, beliefs are always relevant as they affect our actions.
7.) Lets just assume that there was some random tribe in the middle of nowhere that was weak and small in numbers BUT they had a religion and core racial/ethnic identity based upon the supremacy of their race; according to you they would be uniquely bad in spite of being objectively powerless.
When talking about Jewish supremacy, that means they believe it is their place to rule over the goyim and they put these beliefs into action. That’s the key part. If Jews just left everyone alone and minded their own business but still believed all those things, then they wouldn’t be uniquely bad. Let me put it like this, beliefs can exist without actions, actions cannot exist without beliefs.
Intent and beliefs matter significantly less than you think they do, your reasoning on this point has always been weak.No, they don’t. Our belief systems are central to everything we do. Why don’t whites engage in colonialism or slavery any more? We changed our beliefs. Jews do what they do because of their religious beliefs and because they believe themselves to be racially superior to the goyim. Take away these beliefs, and everything about them changes.
8.) But its patently bizarre reasoning, you condemn jews and then you claim that there is no way for them to escape your condemnation even if they are secular. How fucked up is that? For someone that cries so loud about how whites are different for being able to change and become better, yet you totally close off this possibility for jews. This right here demonstrates how fucked up your thinking is dude. So some random blue collar jew who doesn’t even practice his culture/religion anymore is uniquely bad, ok.
I already answered this. They would have to give up their religion and Jewish identity. Secular Jews frequently take advantage of the power structures Jewish supremacists build. But I do think you can make a distinction between organized Jewry and you’re average day to day Jew. Obviously, we’re not saying that literally every single Jew is out to get whites.
9.) You’re trying to claim that im wrong while forgetting the fact that when I gave you the 60-70% figure I was explicitly using my own definition of a white supremacist.
So you have no idea how many white nationalists think colonialism was right. I’ll give you a hint (not very many). You can stop making claims about us then.
10.) Some people think the nuclear bombings of japan were justified but that doesn’t mean that they want to see it happen again. Your reasoning is really simplistic
They obviously would if we were in the same situation again. But that example is totally different from colonialism and why it existed in the first place.
No lol, you were literally under the impression that the chinese didn't have any kind of techological superiority. Anyways if I was trying to ignore this then why have I quoted your exact text like 2-3 times? In fact i'll quote it again:
The second sentence was to clarify that I was talking about the degree of advantage that the Europeans had. You ignored this and are now trying to weasel your way out of it. And it’s true, the Chinese did not have the same level of technological advantage that the European colonizers had.
There is no other way to interpret this line:That’s because they weren’t technologically inferior. The Chinese never had the same technological advantages that the Europeans had. Europeans had better armor and weapons.
The ming treasure voyages often encountered technologically inferior indigenous people during the course of their journeys yet they didn’t attempt to conquer and colonize them like the europeans did.
If you truly meant that you were talking about the degree of advantage that the europeans had had then you would have said something unambiguous like:
That’s because they weren’t technologically inferior (to the chinese)
in fact the full quote of what you said is even more telling and supports my reasoning that you literally thought that the chinese had no technological advantages:
The technological gap between the chinese and the indigenous people that they met was much smaller than the technological gap between the europeans and the indigenous people that they met
By stating that the chinese had great difficulty fighting anyone other than themselves you were clearly trying to support your previous statement that the indigenous people that the chinese met were not technologically inferior to the chinese. Keep in mind that you made this statement in comment #271 and you made zero mention of europeans having a better comparative advantage against the indigenous people they met vis a vis the chinese and the indigenous people that they met, in fact your argument was very simple:
That’s because they weren’t technologically inferior. The Chinese never had the same technological advantages that the Europeans had. Europeans had better armor and weapons. The Chinese had great difficulty fighting anyone other than themselves which is why they had to settle for tributary system.
You mistakenly assumed that the chinese were technologically equal, or at least not technologically superior to the indigenous people they met. There is no other way to interpret what you wrote. Tellingly, in comment #284 I informed you that the chinese actually did possess some significant technological advantages over the indigenous people that they met, it was only after I posted these new facts that you were previously unaware of that you begin using your new argument that the degree of technological advantage was what actually mattered. This happened in your comment #290.
That’s because they weren’t technologically inferior. The Chinese never had the same technological advantages that the Europeans had. Europeans had better armor and weapons.
I already provided good evidence that the kotte likely did not have gunpowder weapons; that being said, whether or not the kotte kingdom had cannon technology is a moot point, the ming dynasty still won against the kotte kingdom, and in spite of conquering them they still treated the kotte kingdom surprisingly well compared to how european colonizers probably would have treated them, which was my original point all along.
Talking about gunpowder weapons in general, something the Amerindians did not have at all. I don’t think we have established if the Kotte did or not.
This was by the 1430s though, so decades after zheng he's initial visit, therefore its irrelevant. Additionally just because they were able to defend themselves sufficiently without chinese aid != to them being necessarily being technological peers with china at the time. That being said, I dont doubt what youre saying but please provide a source for this fact.
Okay, I agree. But by the 1430’s they were said to have been able to defend themselves sufficiently without Chinese aid.
The things youve been mistaken on havent had to do with being an expert on the ming dynasty though. The things youve been mistaken on have been due to pure negligence or lack of diligence. Take for example the fake news anti-china picture with the african kids, it took me less than five minutes of googling to find the actual background story behind that. Likewise with the quote that you yourself posted regarding the ming-kotte war, all you had to do was take the time to read the entire quote and you would have been able to see that it meant something significantly different than what you thought it did but you didnt take the time to do this. This is obvously not something that you have to be an expert on the ming dynasty to be able to do
Yeah, I’m not an expert on the Ming Dynasty, and I’m not very invested in this debate.
Funny how you were fine with making these kinds of comparisons between the chinese and the west until I provided you a reasonable metric to definitively answer your question, at which point you realized it would make you look bad, after which you started trying to pull in all sorts of other arguments and factors. If you really felt this way then why didn't you say anything earlier? Why did you wait until this late to bring up these points? When I was discussing how some "races" are more likely to colonize and dominate than others, you could have brought up this reasoning right then at that moment but instead you suspiciously waited until your original arguments or points were disproved or turned against you in some way and only then you started to claim that I was making an apples to oranges comparison. How convenient huhThere are many other factors to consider that have nothing to do with race such as the type of people encountered by both nations, religion, and natural resources. The New World was rich in gold and silver. Were Malacca and Kotte? I have no idea. It’s kind of an apples to oranges comparison.
You’re dodging the (obvious) probable answer to your question regarding who would have the highest percentage of trying to colonize people, europeans or the chinese.
I never made this claim. I was always comparing two civilizational blocs, china and western europe. Anyways why bother bringing this point up again, I already clarified my stance on this back in comment #284
Furthermore, the existence of the Ming Chinese does not absolve the sins of other Asians.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
When I mentioned the chinese I was referring only to the chinese and not all asians, although I’ll admit that wasn’t explicit about this. That being said, I was consistent with my logic because in the same comment I clarified what we meant regarding “races” with regards to white people. I never claimed to speak about whites in general, only western european whites. I mentioned this in comment #177 which I ironically enough wrote to you, you just dont remember:
I never said the mings were innocent. Why do you continue to impute arguments to me which I never said in the first place?
And the Mings were not innocent either, as if colonization is the worst thing a people can do.
You never said anything about arquebus style firearms, this is what you wrote:
Again, I was talking about the Arquebus style firearm like the conquistadors had, not lumbering hand cannons.
Once again, it appears that youre trying to retreat and retroactively throw out an alternate argument once I proved your initial point wrong. When you made this claim, its obvious that you didn't really even know anything about the state of ming firearm technology at this time, its just something that you assumed and then claimed as such. Ive seen you do this numerous other times as well
The Mings didn’t even have handheld firearms during Zheng’s voyages
according to this site an arquebus weighs 5 kg
not lumbering hand cannons.
Like I said a long time ago in this debate in comment #264:
The Mings were barely capable of regional domination, let alone world domination. They were ousted by the Vietnamese. They had to deal with northern invasions. And they were also limited in who they encountered, never having gone to the New World. Like I said above, there are many factors to consider.
all the groups you are referring to are mostly technological peers. What we do see when the ming forces encountered technologically inferior populations was that they treated them relatively well compared to european colonizers and didn't try to colonize (european style colonization) the locals. We can easily extrapolate how the ming forces would have treated the amerindians and other indigenous people judging from how the ming forces treated the technologically inferior people that they did meet. Like I said, the chinese were not interested in world domination, they simply didn't have a strong desire to go out and colonize, directly exploit, displace, genocide and plunder different cultures. You attribute their lack of interest in world domination to lack of strength but when we do see how the ming forces acted in a position of strength it was significantly different than how the european colonizers acted.
The europeans conquered technologically inferior indigenous people around the world and never colonized technological peers. The ming treasure voyages often encountered technologically inferior indigenous people during the course of their journeys yet they didn’t attempt to conquer and colonize them like the europeans did. The link below includes a brief exposition of the various destinations that zheng he’s fleet went to:
my response was actually pretty fair. Ill repost it again for posterity
They were defeated and withdrew. And it’s interesting to see you making excuses for what was done to the Vietnamese, but I expected it to be honest.
You make it sound as if I was making irrational excuses for what was done to the vietnamese but anybody reading can see that what I wrote was actually pretty moderate. Keep in mind that the chinese "colonized" the vietnamese for hundreds of years at a time, at certain points in the history between china and vietnam, china "colonized" vietnam for longer than the USA has even been in existence! This went on during a period stretching over 1500 years (with a large gap in between the years from 938 to 1407), yet the vietnamese people still existed (as evidenced by them still being present to continually throw off chinese domination at different points in history throughout this 1500 year stretch of time).
Regarding the “vietnam treatment”, vietnam probably got a really cruel treatment just because they were presumably a thorn in china’s side at various times over a period of 1500 years, but I dont know the history between the two countries deeply so I can’t say for sure. I just know their mutual history is very long and very complicated. That being said, even when vietnam did get colonized the chinese still ended up leaving because they figured it wasn’t worth their time:
You keep coping. The fact is the chinese had firearm and cannon technology at this time and the somalians didnt because they were still using swords and bows and arrows. The chinese had a major technological advantage period. You wanted to claim that the chinese didn't meet any technologically inferior people at the time and you were wrong.
Yes, “handgun” technology, but nothing like the conquistadors had. As for the Somalis, they likely had the better horses at the very least, given what was said about Ming horses. Possibly had better armor.
I made the claim about technology and then subsequently I made a more specific claim about firearm technology. There was never any ambiguity about which claim I was referring to afterwards in that particular part of the conversation, I made this abundantly clear. You're purposely trying to act as if I was making a claim about technological superiority in general when there is clear evidence that I began to specifically make claims about technological superiority as it involves weapons alone. I was always clear about the limitations of my claim and even directly referred to it in comment #315:You made the claim about technology. Firearms are only one facet of technology.
I never made any claim about superiority when it came to armor.
Except this doesnt change the fact that what I pointed out is correct. You continually kept changing your arguments. The points you bring up are not necessarily untrue, but they don't change the reality of the point that I originally brought up:
The Spanish wanted gold and silver. The Chinese wanted a vassal state and tribute. Two different motivations that require different methods. If Kotte had valuable resources that the Chinese wanted, who’s to say what they would have done? And what would have happened had the Kotte stopped paying tribute?
You keep bringing up various arguments which I disprove, afterwards you change your argument to something else. The way you argue is fundamentally dishonest, if one of your arguments is wrong you should just admit that its wrong instead of continually expanding the argument and changing the goalposts.
So basically according to you the chinese had to settle for a tributary system because they were too weak to colonize people but then when I pointed out the flaws in your reasoning you decided to try to go with the claim that the chinese installed a puppet instead and then finally you’re now trying to go with the claim that the conquistadors couldn’t have used a similar method since it was so far away. Isn’t it funny how you keep having to change your arguments?
Well look what happened to the kotte kingdom. Alakesvara was causing problems and the ming took him out (but ended up returning him alive) and put someone else in power. The chinese preferred to do things in a different way than european colonists did.
You’re right, they did want fundamentally different things because their needs were different. And so were the peoples they encountered. But what happened to people that refused to become vassal states and pay tribute to the Mings?
1.) I said, “That’s because they weren’t technologically inferior. The Chinese never had the same technological advantages that the Europeans had. Europeans had better armor and weapons.” The second sentence was to clarify the first, but you just ignored it. You cannot dispute that the technological advantages the Europeans had over the people they colonized was much greater than the technological advantages the Chinese had over the people they encountered. This put the Europeans in a stronger position in case of rebellion.
2.) Again, wanting a vassal state and wanting a country’s natural resources are two different things that require different methods. We don’t know if Kotte and Malacca would have been worth colonizing in the first place. If they weren’t, then that could be a reason why the Chinese did not.
3.) Why else would you bother trying to type up a counter-response so rapidly to me as soon as I post my responses? Why else would you have bothered arguing about this with me for nearly ten days now? actions speak louder than words
It’s not exactly a huge undertaking (well, maybe it is for you) and your pilpul amuses me.
4.)If you really felt this way then why didn’t you say anything earlier? Why did you wait until this late to bring up these points? When I was discussing how some “races” are more likely to colonize and dominate than others, you could have brought up this reasoning right then at that moment but instead you suspiciously waited until your original arguments or points were disproved or turned against you in some way and only then you started to claim that I was making an apples to oranges comparison. How convenient huh
Because I’ve had time to reflect on all the points raised and see things that you’ve overlooked.
5.)You never said anything about arquebus style firearms, this is what you wrote:
I thought it was understood since we were talking about the Spanish and Portuguese at the time, who had the type of firearm one usually thinks of when discussing early firearms (not prot0-firearm handcannons).
6.) When referring to the Chinese firearms as lumbering, I meant that they seemed clumsy and ineffectual.
7.) We cannot infer how the Ming would have treated the Amerindians because they are completely different peoples from the ones the Mings encountered. I highly doubt they would have submitted to being vassals. Also, we don’t know if we would be getting the Mings that traded with the Malaccas, the Mings that colonized and sinicized the Vietnamese, or the Mings that castrated 1,565 Miao boys.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Miao_rebellions_under_the_Ming_dynasty
8.) Comparing the American war with the Amerindians to Chinese colonization of Vietnam is an apples to oranges comparison because they are different peoples. The Vietnamese had a formal state structure in which leadership and control could be effectively transferred and maintained. The Amerindians were extremely vicious to settlers and mutual hatred just kind of spiraled out of control. They would not submit like so many of China’s enemies did. Here though, the Mings are said to have wiped out indigenous tribes.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sinicization#Ming_dynasty
9.) You keep bringing up various arguments which I disprove, afterwards you change your argument to something else. The way you argue is fundamentally dishonest, if one of your arguments is wrong you should just admit that its wrong instead of continually expanding the argument and changing the goalposts.
Is there a difference between moving the goalposts, raising additional points, and offering new explanations for things that you’ve only thought of later on in the debate? However, I will admit you were right that the Mings were more technologically advanced than the Malacca Sultanate. Kotte still remains in doubt, but the Mings were strong enough to colonize them if they wanted to anyway.
10.) With regard to the Somalians, I keep telling you that there is more to technology than just proto-firearms and cannons. Horses and armor matter. Here is a quote about how the Qings defeated the Mings.
The Ming Dynasty was eventually replaced in 1644 by the Qing Dynasty: who combined ambush tactics with heavy cavalry to overwhelm Ming infantry; who were slowed down by their heavy cannons and handcannons
Which is why Whites are not being wiped out, merely abused on a grand scale. If Jews really wanted to wipe out Whites they could have done it quite quickly with bioweapons, it wouldn't be difficult for the many Jewish institutions that are very influentual in the Western European countries to get some Mossad agents to release the spores.
Being wiped out does not serve the interests of the white “elites” whatever the hell they are.
Incorrect, there is nothing in common between the chicken-swinging Jews who live in shitholes and the bankers at Goldman Sachs. Israel is currently the gay capital of Middle East and extremely degenerate, the stupid Orthodox Jews have 7 kids a couple and are outbreeding the secular Jews (you know the smart ones that are eligible to participate in big conspiracies)
And you obviously don’t know what a community is. A community is ONE-TOGETHER. The Jewish community is ONE actor, ONE organism. It makes the rules that your WASPs follow.
If Jews really wanted to wipe out Whites they could have done it quite quickly with bioweapons, it wouldn’t be difficult for the many Jewish institutions that are very influentual in the Western European countries to get some Mossad agents to release the spores.
And invite possible reprisals against Israel? No, not worth the risk. Besides, with what they’re doing now, they can make a lot of money in the process. And they probably think this way is funnier too, getting whites to sink into self-hatred, worship black culture, and prostrate themselves before the Jew.
even it admits that secular Jews (you know the ones behind the entire plot) have really low birth rates and suffer from feminism.
And he goes into it in more detail. Interestingly, Israeli secular Jews are at replacement level.
It fails to show that all technologically advanced nations have low birth rates and that this trend is being repeated across the world, as a nation gets more developed its birth rate plummets.
If technological advancement is what causes low birth rates, why do Christians have different TFRs from atheists when they all have access to the same technology? Clearly, there are other factors involved. And why would technological advancement matter in the first place? What specific piece(s) of technology is causing people to not have kids? You might say the internet and video games or something, but birth rates started dropping long before they were invented. Usually, the decline in most countries can be traced back to the 60s. I wonder why.
This mean it is not the low birth rate but the presence of racial foreigners that is the cause of the genocide in the minds of the adherents of the theory.
It’s both. In Japan’s case, I don’t know if their elites are malicious or just incompetent. Or maybe they think it would actually be a good thing for the population to decline a little since they’re on an island with limited space. At least so far, they have resisted the international pressure to increase their “diversity” and loosen immigration restrictions. There are pro-natalist policies that the Japanese government could implement if they wanted to, and if the native population ever got dangerously low, I guarantee they would.
It is allahed that a group of White Aryans invaded India but gradually disappeared due to race-mixing, but this isn’t genocide, their physical characteristics disappeared by their own volition.
If the Aryan elite were
(c) Deliberately inflicting on the group conditions of life calculated to bring about its physical destruction in whole or in part;
(d) Imposing measures intended to prevent births within the group
Then you might call it a genocide. Or it might have been that these proto-Indo-European (Aryan) conquerors were mostly male and so just ended up breeding with the native populations once nature took over. But that’s not the kind of situation we find ourselves in today.
So no, it is not a ‘genocide’ as it is not preventing Whites from having children against their will, many Whites simply prefer to work and buy things instead of have children, there is nothing stopping Whites from going on welfare and having children.
You’re looking at things too superficially. Dr. Johnson states, in his opinion, the five principle causes of white extinction.
1.) An ethic of hedonism, individualism, and selfishness that denigrates reproduction and family life;
2.) Feminism, which encourages women to pursue careers instead of making family life their primary occupation;
3.) The widespread use of birth control and abortion to decouple sex from pregnancy and pregnancy from child-rearing;
4.) The rising costs of family formation, chiefly caused by racial integration—which is the driving force behind suburbanization and ex-urbanization in order to find safe spaces for whites to raise families—and by non-white immigration and offshoring industry, which lower wages for whites;
5.) Miscegenation, in which individuals reproduce their own genes but not their race by mixing with another race.
These factors are not blind forces of nature, like an asteroid colliding with earth. They were all created by human beings. Some of them, like feminism, birth control pills, legalized abortion, and overturning racial segregation, immigration restrictions, and bans on miscegenation are quite recent. They were hatched in the minds of intellectuals, artists, scientists, politicians, educators, and advertisers. They were made real by changing people’s beliefs and values, and by altering the laws and institutions that govern us.
The Amish example actually serves to further Dr. Johnson’s argument because they have largely insulated themselves from mainstream ideologies. It is their strict belief system that protects them from globohomo liberalism and cultural Marxism. We see the same thing with Orthodox Jews (who still have access to modern technology and live in developed economies).

Dr. Johnson’s companion article.
https://www.counter-currents.com/2014/02/white-extinction/
The thing about White Genocide theory adherents is that they fail to realise the use of the word 'genocide' is merely a shock factor designed to draw people in to the fact that the White majorities of various countries are being destroyed. Whites are not actually being exterminated despite the hyperbolae, the non-elite Whites are simply having their living standards reduced to Third World levels.
The elimination of Whites does not serve the interests of “elite” whites”
Yes, it is run by a coalition of Jews and Whites, as has always been the case. Elites of both groups have been unified in their games for a long time, since the days of slavery and colonialism from which they benefited the most. You are only beginning to see this now because this Jew-WASP coalition has now turned on the average White, before you were quite content in them doing the looting, as long as it was somewhere else.
This is not our country anymore. It is not our government. It is not our FBI. It is not our media. All of these are in the hands of our enemies. All the authoritative institutions of our society have been hollowed out, taken over, and repurposed to our dispossession and destruction.
Hmmm, I wonder why I am seeing posters for it at Edinburgh train station? These all-powerful elites sure are doing a bad job of trying to 'bury it'.Replies: @Bernie, @Franz, @Lurker, @alex in San Jose AKA Digital Detroit, @ben tillman, @Z-man, @FvS
Richard Jewell is a populist classic, which is why the enemies of the people have tried to bury it with silence or screeching. Every white person needs to see this superb film.
You are only beginning to see this now because this Jew-WASP coalition has now turned on the average White, before you were quite content in them doing the looting, as long as it was somewhere else.
So? This country belongs to the average white and now they are trying to destroy us. And I don’t remember owning any slaves or investing in any colonial ventures. You said it yourself that elites benefited the most from the looting of other peoples. The common man has little influence over these things, and most are lemmings brainwashed to believe whatever the elites tell them to believe. However, because of the internet and the increasingly obvious fact that our very existence is at stake, more whites than ever before are discovering who is behind the curtain and what their agenda is.
Hmmm, I wonder why I am seeing posters for it at Edinburgh train station? These all-powerful elites sure are doing a bad job of trying to ‘bury it’.
I hadn’t heard of it until this review.
A relevant article.
https://www.counter-currents.com/2017/10/the-autochthony-argument-2/
Chinese treatment of the Vietnamese, Uyghurs, and Tibetans or ignoring the Mongolians, Japanese, Aztecs, Bantus, Ottomans, etc.
I dont recall doing this. Show specific posts where I did this.
Well, they're definitely doing more than just engaging in trade. That can't be disputed. And I guarantee they aren't trying to "uplift" Africa out of the kindness of their hearts.
ill read this when I get time. You do realize btw that one opinion piece != absolute truth right? This is a very big issue, but I don’t deny that there is the possibility that china could be engaging in neo-colonialism as well. Like I said, im going to refrain from having a solid opinion either way until I do more research on the matter
Then you misunderstood.
nah you were pretty clearly implying it.
The point was about colonization in general and the way the people being colonized were treated.
Except…xinjiang and tibet are both chinese territory, china is not traveling halfway across the world to colonize them. Therefore right off the bat your point is incorrect since you were trying to make a case for china doing global colonization and not just regional colonization (which was never a point of contention to begin with).
Only a matter of location.
What china is supposedly doing in xinjiang and tibet is different than china randomly showing up at some random country and then invading and colonizing them.
During the Great Leap Forward, between 200,000 and 1,000,000 Tibetans may have died.,[62] and approximately 6,000 monasteries were destroyed during the Cultural Revolution, thus the vast majority of historic Tibetan architecture was destroyed.[63]
Lots of what people are saying about what china is doing in tibet and xinjiang are lies; notice that I said “lots”, not “all”. I am totally open to the possibility that china may be acting immorally in xinjiang and tibet, but I also recognize that the US is working to destabilize these regions and also to run bad PR against china as well. For this reason its hard to say what is really going on there. I can say this, if china was really trying to aggressively colonize and genocide the uyghurs and tibetans then why isnt it also doing this to the other 55 minority groups in china as well? Isn’t it a funny coincidence that the only places that china is supposedly colonizing are also the two places that have been targeted the most by the US for its destabilization efforts? Its quite likely that china wouldnt even have to act this way in xinjiang and tibet if it wasnt for the US trying to interfere and destabilize the area.
It's pretty well documented. They're doing things the Europeans did at times in their colonies. Some of it's worse. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uyghurs#Persecution_of_Uyghurs_in_Xinjiang
If some uyghur people are posting blatant falsehoods like this, what else are they lying about? How do you know that everything you’ve been told about this situation is true? Once again, im not claiming that the chinese are totally innocent in this case, I have no way of knowing. Im simply making the case that there is a ton of disinformation out there which even you yourself accidentally repeated.
Haha, don't give me that nonsense. Calling attention to Jewish power and the Jewish role in the destruction of my people is not the same as opening an art exhibit comparing Africans to primates. Just do a google search of Chinese Africa racism. There are tons of articles.
you’re quite racist against jews, whats the point?
I didn't think you'd be able to.
You seem to care more about it than I do, so go look for it yourself. I only have 125 comments and I discuss this particular topic quite frequently so it shouldnt be hard for you to find a comment where im having discussions about colonization with white nationalists.
I disagree. Mass immigration and globalist free trade are not dependent on the existence of colonialism.
The two are not mutually exclusive concepts. Its entirely possible that its a deliberate campaign, however mass immigration and multiculturalism in the west would not be possible without a complimentary global geopolitical framework in the first place, which was incidentally built up by western europeans for over five centuries.
Yes. And China was always the dominant power in its relationship with Vietnam.
So…murdering someone you have mutual bad blood with and then murdering an innocent stranger are both equally wrong then?
The final campaign did not start well for the Ming forces. Lê Lợi's forces met the Ming army in battle, but quickly staged a mock retreat. The Ming general, Liu Sheng (Liễu Thăng in Vietnamese), urging his troops forward, was cut off from the main part of his army, captured and executed by the Vietnamese. Then, by sending false reports of dissent within the ranks of Lê Lợi's own generals, the Ming army was lured into Hanoi where it was surrounded and destroyed in a series of battles. A Vietnamese historian, Trần Trọng Kim, told that the Ming army lost over 90,000 men (60,000 killed in battle and 30,000 captured).[9] The decisive battle was the Battle of Tốt Động – Chúc Động in 1426, after which the Ming Dynasty eventually had to concede defeat by 1428. Rather than putting to death the captured Ming soldiers and administrators, he provided ships and supplies to send them back to China.
Once again, you are completely wrong. Like I said, the chinese simply have different priorities than western europeans.
Haha, I'm not mad at all. It just proves your use of the Ming dynasty is an apples to oranges comparison with the European colonizers.
The chinese got what they wanted in a significantly more humane way than how european colonizers acted, which was the entire point. Moreover, their essential priorities were different than the european colonists from the very beginning. You’re just mad because the chinese did not act sufficiently violent like european colonists did.
But you did claim they were less bloodthirsty and power hungry than the Europeans. This may or may not be true, but it also says nothing about whether Asians as a race are, let alone all other races.
I never claimed that they weren’t.
I guess we'll have to let our readers decide that. I certainly haven't found it to be the case. :)Replies: @FvS, @GammaRay, @GammaRay, @GammaRay
not really, Im very consistent in my arguments and support them with irrefutable logic and examples
Okay, I’m going to attempt to sum things up and let’s see how much you agree or disagree.
1.) White nationalists do not want the return of colonialism, slavery, etc. In fact, most are anti-war/anti-imperialism. Virtually no white supremacists (whites who want to rule over the other races) exist today. Pointing out silver linings in colonialism does not mean you think it was right or that it should be brought back. If we look at Africa today, we can see marked differences between the countries that were colonized and the ones that were not. The ones that were are much better off than the countries that were not colonized.
2.) It is next to impossible to quantify whether Western Europeans demonstrated a much higher inclination and tendency to want to dominate and ruler over others than say the Mongolians, Japanese, Bantus, Ottomans, Aztecs, etc. did. This is because Western Europeans had an extreme technological advantage (among others) that allowed them to achieve what others could not. All races have engaged in imperialism, but not necessarily all ethnic groups. Some sub-races and ethnic groups are more expansionist and violent than others.
3.) Jews are unique because they have a religion and core ethnic/racial identity centered around Jewish supremacism. No other group has this, including whites, which is why whites were able to change their beliefs about colonialism, slavery, and white supremacism. Jews played a role in ending white supremacism, but have not given up Jewish supremacism. Today, Jews are the leading force behind white genocide. It is not hypocritical for whites to resist genocide because collective guilt for past transgressions is an unjust concept. We do not imprison the children of murderers, for example. We do not say the Turks or Japanese must open their borders to the world and accept mass immigration because of the Ottoman Empire or Japanese imperialism during WWII. Furthermore, the multi-racial, multi-cultural “diversity is our greatest strength” agenda is being pushed in almost all white countries, even those that did not engage in globe spanning colonialism.
4.) The Ming Dynasty did not engage in overseas colonialism like the Western European powers even though they could have in places like Kotte and Malacca. Whether they could have in East Africa is a matter of debate. Why the Mings didn’t engage in overseas colonialism like the Western European powers did is also a matter of debate. They might have been relatively more isolationist and less concerned with world domination, contenting themselves with their tributary “empire”, or found that places like Kotte and Malacca did not have any natural resources for it to have been worth the trouble. Looking at history, we can see that China has engaged in forced sinicization of various Asian peoples, even in modern times. They are also guilty of other human rights abuses. However, this does not mean it would be just for China to have to open its borders and allow its peoples to become a minority in their own country.
I generally agree however I never claimed the contrary. This is all I ever said regarding it:
1.) White nationalists do not want the return of colonialism, slavery, etc. In fact, most are anti-war/anti-imperialism.
You were the one who read too much into what I was saying, not me. Be honest here, can you find where I ever said that white nationalists want to bring back colonialism? You kept fixating on this point and "trying to prove me wrong" about it, but its a claim that I never made
most white advocates ive encountered make endless rationalizations for colonization instead of arguing against it and just admitting it was wrong, including you. There are maybe like 0.05% of white advocates who will admit that european colonization was morally wrong, the rest will make flimsy apologetic arguments for it or will even be proud of it. Just FYI, im an old hand on the alt-right, ive been in this corner of the internet for over a decade now so I know what im talking about. I’ve had plenty of exposure to white advocates to know exactly how they feel and what kind of beliefs they hold, everything you’re saying is blatantly false.
I generally agree using this definition of white supremacy. Remember that you did not clarify your stance on what constitutes white supremacy until comment #332, until that point we were operating on different definitions of what constitutes white supremacy.
Virtually no white supremacists (whites who want to rule over the other races) exist today.
You don't speak for all white nationalists though. Lots of white nationalists think colonization was justifiable and right.
Pointing out silver linings in colonialism does not mean you think it was right or that it should be brought back. If we look at Africa today, we can see marked differences between the countries that were colonized and the ones that were not. The ones that were are much better off than the countries that were not colonized.
Except I was never making this argument. This is what I said:
2.) It is next to impossible to quantify whether Western Europeans demonstrated a much higher inclination and tendency to want to dominate and ruler over others than say the Mongolians, Japanese, Bantus, Ottomans, Aztecs, etc. did.
I never said that their inclination and tendency to want to dominate and rule over others was greater than other aggressive, expansive cultures. I just stated that they appear to demonstrate a much higher inclination and tendency to want to dominate and rule over others (compared to the average). You clearly misread my point and took it the wrong way, but this is not surprising since you are hypersensitive to any perceived criticisms of white people. Think about this, you've spent ten days so far arguing with me about something which you misunderstood to begin with.
We’ve had over five centuries to observe the behavior of whites, it appears that western europeans (so not necessarily all whites, which is a clumsy term in this context) demonstrate a much higher inclination and tendency to want to dominate and rule over others. If you can’t trust over 500 years of observation regarding a specific racial group then what can you trust?
Racial/ethnic psychological differences matters as well though. As I demonstrated, the chinese often had technological advantages too but they still acted differently than western europeans. Its kind of bizarre that you implied earlier that you believe in HBD but then when it comes to applying it to something like this you suddenly start soft pedaling racial differences and instead start arguing like a racial blank slate liberal.
This is because Western Europeans had an extreme technological advantage (among others) that allowed them to achieve what others could not.
This point is a non-starter, I was always pretty clear that I was referring to ethnic/cultural bloc differences as opposed to racial ones. For some reason you've spent most of this debate accusing me of singling out white people for colonization even though I was always clear I was referring to western europeans from almost the very beginning starting from comment #177.
All races have engaged in imperialism, but not necessarily all ethnic groups.
agreed
Some sub-races and ethnic groups are more expansionist and violent than others.
You're implying that all jews are religious though, which they arent. Lots of jews are secular, this is why I'll have to disagree with the thrust of your point. Your point would only apply if all jews were practicing jews that actually subscribe to the form of judaism that you're describing.
3.) Jews are unique because they have a religion and core ethnic/racial identity centered around Jewish supremacism. No other group has this, including whites, which is why whites were able to change their beliefs about colonialism, slavery, and white supremacism.
Where did I suggest that whites have collective guilt for past transgressions and have to pay for it by accepting mass immigration? I recall that you have imputed this line of thinking to me multiple times but you were never able to provide a quote for it. Can you provide a quote where I stated something like this? Please be honest if you cannot find a quote where I mentioned this. You have been continually insisting that I claimed something to this effect even though you still haven't been able to provide a quote where I said this.
It is not hypocritical for whites to resist genocide because collective guilt for past transgressions is an unjust concept. We do not imprison the children of murderers, for example. We do not say the Turks or Japanese must open their borders to the world and accept mass immigration because of the Ottoman Empire or Japanese imperialism during WWII.

The chinese simply had different ways of doing things than western europeans. Im not sure why this is so hard for you to accept as an ostensible believer in HBD. Keep in mind that the portugese actually ended up colonizing the malacca sultante later on. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Malacca_Sultanate

All your posts were about the sins of whites while making excuses for or even ignoring what other races have done.
ill read this when I get time. You do realize btw that one opinion piece != absolute truth right? This is a very big issue, but I don't deny that there is the possibility that china could be engaging in neo-colonialism as well. Like I said, im going to refrain from having a solid opinion either way until I do more research on the matter
I’ll post it again. Obviously, the Chinese are going to have to be careful in the modern era in order not to arouse international suspicions.
https://www.panafricanalliance.com/china-africa-colonialism/
nah you were pretty clearly implying it.Didn’t say it was, but it’s not good either.
secondly, neo-colonialism != european style colonization
why try to claim otherwise?
It wouldn’t surprise me one bit coming from these people. Do you support Chinese neocolonialism in Africa or not? Let’s see if you’re a hypocrite.
Except...xinjiang and tibet are both chinese territory, china is not traveling halfway across the world to colonize them. Therefore right off the bat your point is incorrect since you were trying to make a case for china doing global colonization and not just regional colonization (which was never a point of contention to begin with). See what I wrote here:
Uyghurs and Tibet, both happening in modern times so there’s less of an excuse for it.
What china is supposedly doing in xinjiang and tibet is different than china randomly showing up at some random country and then invading and colonizing them. Secondly and more importantly is the fact that the CIA is actively working to destablize xinjiang and tibet, surely you were aware of this? https://www.unz.com/article/seeking-truth-from-pisa-facts/#comment-3603734read comment #191Lots of what people are saying about what china is doing in tibet and xinjiang are lies; notice that I said "lots", not "all". I am totally open to the possibility that china may be acting immorally in xinjiang and tibet, but I also recognize that the US is working to destabilize these regions and also to run bad PR against china as well. For this reason its hard to say what is really going on there. I can say this, if china was really trying to aggressively colonize and genocide the uyghurs and tibetans then why isnt it also doing this to the other 55 minority groups in china as well? Isn't it a funny coincidence that the only places that china is supposedly colonizing are also the two places that have been targeted the most by the US for its destabilization efforts? Its quite likely that china wouldnt even have to act this way in xinjiang and tibet if it wasnt for the US trying to interfere and destabilize the area. Oh and just FYI you already fell for propaganda with the picture of the african kids you posted earlier. You do know that that fake picture that you sent was originally attributed to an out of context video that an anti-chinese uyghur nationalist posted right? Check it out yourself:https://twitter.com/parlabest/status/1197629283860131840?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1197629283860131840&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.unz.com%2Farticle%2Fan-introspective-of-white-ethnocentrism%2F
Just to be absolutely clear on this; if china ever begins invading the world and acts exactly in the same manner as european colonizers did then I will have no problem condemning the chinese. Due to your WN blinkers you are under the impression that im hypocritical and “anti-white” but the truth is that im interested in being fair and non-biased as possible. Colonialism is colonialism, it doesnt matter who does it, its immoral.
If some uyghur people are posting blatant falsehoods like this, what else are they lying about? How do you know that everything you've been told about this situation is true? Once again, im not claiming that the chinese are totally innocent in this case, I have no way of knowing. Im simply making the case that there is a ton of disinformation out there which even you yourself accidentally repeated.

To show you why the kids singing Chinese nationalist songs didn’t arouse suspicion in me. That and the Chinese are quite racist towards Africans.
You seem to care more about it than I do, so go look for it yourself. I only have 125 comments and I discuss this particular topic quite frequently so it shouldnt be hard for you to find a comment where im having discussions about colonization with white nationalists.
Why don’t you post some highlights. And if they think colonialism was justified, they would likely support its return. Find me a white nationalist who does.
The two are not mutually exclusive concepts. Its entirely possible that its a deliberate campaign, however mass immigration and multiculturalism in the west would not be possible without a complimentary global geopolitical framework in the first place, which was incidentally built up by western europeans for over five centuries.
It’s a deliberate campaign, and colonialism is just one of many justifications used as excuse for white genocide.
So...murdering someone you have mutual bad blood with and then murdering an innocent stranger are both equally wrong then?Haha, okay….
Murdering someone you have a complicated history with and murdering a complete stranger are both wrong, but I think that murdering a complete stranger is more wrong.
Or maybe they weren't really that interested in "domination" to begin with:
That’s because they struggled enough with regional domination.
Once again, you are completely wrong. Like I said, the chinese simply have different priorities than western europeans.
The Ming dynasty crushed Lê’s rebellion at first but court debates concluded that Vietnam was an unnecessary distraction and the Ming decided to withdraw their armies from Vietnam, long before the rebels started scoring any victories. When Lê offered to become a vassal of China, the Ming immediately declared him as ruler of Vietnam.[1] Le Loi then ascended the Vietnamese throne, taking the reign name Lê Thái Tổ and establishing the Lê dynasty (1428–1788).
The chinese got what they wanted in a significantly more humane way than how european colonizers acted, which was the entire point. Moreover, their essential priorities were different than the european colonists from the very beginning. You're just mad because the chinese did not act sufficiently violent like european colonists did.
The Chinese got what they wanted, a vassal state. What would be the point of colonizing it after that? Did they have an abundance of natural resources like gold, silver, or diamonds?
I never claimed that they weren't.
As for Mao, that was just to show that the Chinese are not some kind of enlightened people incapable of mass murder.

The point was about colonization in general and the way the people being colonized were treated.
What china is supposedly doing in xinjiang and tibet is different than china randomly showing up at some random country and then invading and colonizing them.
Only a matter of location.
Lots of what people are saying about what china is doing in tibet and xinjiang are lies; notice that I said “lots”, not “all”.

During the Great Leap Forward, between 200,000 and 1,000,000 Tibetans may have died.,[62] and approximately 6,000 monasteries were destroyed during the Cultural Revolution, thus the vast majority of historic Tibetan architecture was destroyed.[63]

You seem to care more about it than I do, so go look for it yourself. I only have 125 comments and I discuss this particular topic quite frequently so it shouldnt be hard for you to find a comment where im having discussions about colonization with white nationalists.
I didn’t think you’d be able to.
No lol, you were literally under the impression that the chinese didn't have any kind of techological superiority. Anyways if I was trying to ignore this then why have I quoted your exact text like 2-3 times? In fact i'll quote it again:
The second sentence was to clarify that I was talking about the degree of advantage that the Europeans had. You ignored this and are now trying to weasel your way out of it. And it’s true, the Chinese did not have the same level of technological advantage that the European colonizers had.
There is no other way to interpret this line:That’s because they weren’t technologically inferior. The Chinese never had the same technological advantages that the Europeans had. Europeans had better armor and weapons.
The ming treasure voyages often encountered technologically inferior indigenous people during the course of their journeys yet they didn’t attempt to conquer and colonize them like the europeans did.
If you truly meant that you were talking about the degree of advantage that the europeans had had then you would have said something unambiguous like:
That’s because they weren’t technologically inferior (to the chinese)
in fact the full quote of what you said is even more telling and supports my reasoning that you literally thought that the chinese had no technological advantages:
The technological gap between the chinese and the indigenous people that they met was much smaller than the technological gap between the europeans and the indigenous people that they met
By stating that the chinese had great difficulty fighting anyone other than themselves you were clearly trying to support your previous statement that the indigenous people that the chinese met were not technologically inferior to the chinese. Keep in mind that you made this statement in comment #271 and you made zero mention of europeans having a better comparative advantage against the indigenous people they met vis a vis the chinese and the indigenous people that they met, in fact your argument was very simple:
That’s because they weren’t technologically inferior. The Chinese never had the same technological advantages that the Europeans had. Europeans had better armor and weapons. The Chinese had great difficulty fighting anyone other than themselves which is why they had to settle for tributary system.
You mistakenly assumed that the chinese were technologically equal, or at least not technologically superior to the indigenous people they met. There is no other way to interpret what you wrote. Tellingly, in comment #284 I informed you that the chinese actually did possess some significant technological advantages over the indigenous people that they met, it was only after I posted these new facts that you were previously unaware of that you begin using your new argument that the degree of technological advantage was what actually mattered. This happened in your comment #290.
That’s because they weren’t technologically inferior. The Chinese never had the same technological advantages that the Europeans had. Europeans had better armor and weapons.
I already provided good evidence that the kotte likely did not have gunpowder weapons; that being said, whether or not the kotte kingdom had cannon technology is a moot point, the ming dynasty still won against the kotte kingdom, and in spite of conquering them they still treated the kotte kingdom surprisingly well compared to how european colonizers probably would have treated them, which was my original point all along.
Talking about gunpowder weapons in general, something the Amerindians did not have at all. I don’t think we have established if the Kotte did or not.
This was by the 1430s though, so decades after zheng he's initial visit, therefore its irrelevant. Additionally just because they were able to defend themselves sufficiently without chinese aid != to them being necessarily being technological peers with china at the time. That being said, I dont doubt what youre saying but please provide a source for this fact.
Okay, I agree. But by the 1430’s they were said to have been able to defend themselves sufficiently without Chinese aid.
The things youve been mistaken on havent had to do with being an expert on the ming dynasty though. The things youve been mistaken on have been due to pure negligence or lack of diligence. Take for example the fake news anti-china picture with the african kids, it took me less than five minutes of googling to find the actual background story behind that. Likewise with the quote that you yourself posted regarding the ming-kotte war, all you had to do was take the time to read the entire quote and you would have been able to see that it meant something significantly different than what you thought it did but you didnt take the time to do this. This is obvously not something that you have to be an expert on the ming dynasty to be able to do
Yeah, I’m not an expert on the Ming Dynasty, and I’m not very invested in this debate.
Funny how you were fine with making these kinds of comparisons between the chinese and the west until I provided you a reasonable metric to definitively answer your question, at which point you realized it would make you look bad, after which you started trying to pull in all sorts of other arguments and factors. If you really felt this way then why didn't you say anything earlier? Why did you wait until this late to bring up these points? When I was discussing how some "races" are more likely to colonize and dominate than others, you could have brought up this reasoning right then at that moment but instead you suspiciously waited until your original arguments or points were disproved or turned against you in some way and only then you started to claim that I was making an apples to oranges comparison. How convenient huhThere are many other factors to consider that have nothing to do with race such as the type of people encountered by both nations, religion, and natural resources. The New World was rich in gold and silver. Were Malacca and Kotte? I have no idea. It’s kind of an apples to oranges comparison.
You’re dodging the (obvious) probable answer to your question regarding who would have the highest percentage of trying to colonize people, europeans or the chinese.
I never made this claim. I was always comparing two civilizational blocs, china and western europe. Anyways why bother bringing this point up again, I already clarified my stance on this back in comment #284
Furthermore, the existence of the Ming Chinese does not absolve the sins of other Asians.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
When I mentioned the chinese I was referring only to the chinese and not all asians, although I’ll admit that wasn’t explicit about this. That being said, I was consistent with my logic because in the same comment I clarified what we meant regarding “races” with regards to white people. I never claimed to speak about whites in general, only western european whites. I mentioned this in comment #177 which I ironically enough wrote to you, you just dont remember:
I never said the mings were innocent. Why do you continue to impute arguments to me which I never said in the first place?
And the Mings were not innocent either, as if colonization is the worst thing a people can do.
You never said anything about arquebus style firearms, this is what you wrote:
Again, I was talking about the Arquebus style firearm like the conquistadors had, not lumbering hand cannons.
Once again, it appears that youre trying to retreat and retroactively throw out an alternate argument once I proved your initial point wrong. When you made this claim, its obvious that you didn't really even know anything about the state of ming firearm technology at this time, its just something that you assumed and then claimed as such. Ive seen you do this numerous other times as well
The Mings didn’t even have handheld firearms during Zheng’s voyages
according to this site an arquebus weighs 5 kg
not lumbering hand cannons.
Like I said a long time ago in this debate in comment #264:
The Mings were barely capable of regional domination, let alone world domination. They were ousted by the Vietnamese. They had to deal with northern invasions. And they were also limited in who they encountered, never having gone to the New World. Like I said above, there are many factors to consider.
all the groups you are referring to are mostly technological peers. What we do see when the ming forces encountered technologically inferior populations was that they treated them relatively well compared to european colonizers and didn't try to colonize (european style colonization) the locals. We can easily extrapolate how the ming forces would have treated the amerindians and other indigenous people judging from how the ming forces treated the technologically inferior people that they did meet. Like I said, the chinese were not interested in world domination, they simply didn't have a strong desire to go out and colonize, directly exploit, displace, genocide and plunder different cultures. You attribute their lack of interest in world domination to lack of strength but when we do see how the ming forces acted in a position of strength it was significantly different than how the european colonizers acted.
The europeans conquered technologically inferior indigenous people around the world and never colonized technological peers. The ming treasure voyages often encountered technologically inferior indigenous people during the course of their journeys yet they didn’t attempt to conquer and colonize them like the europeans did. The link below includes a brief exposition of the various destinations that zheng he’s fleet went to:
my response was actually pretty fair. Ill repost it again for posterity
They were defeated and withdrew. And it’s interesting to see you making excuses for what was done to the Vietnamese, but I expected it to be honest.
You make it sound as if I was making irrational excuses for what was done to the vietnamese but anybody reading can see that what I wrote was actually pretty moderate. Keep in mind that the chinese "colonized" the vietnamese for hundreds of years at a time, at certain points in the history between china and vietnam, china "colonized" vietnam for longer than the USA has even been in existence! This went on during a period stretching over 1500 years (with a large gap in between the years from 938 to 1407), yet the vietnamese people still existed (as evidenced by them still being present to continually throw off chinese domination at different points in history throughout this 1500 year stretch of time).
Regarding the “vietnam treatment”, vietnam probably got a really cruel treatment just because they were presumably a thorn in china’s side at various times over a period of 1500 years, but I dont know the history between the two countries deeply so I can’t say for sure. I just know their mutual history is very long and very complicated. That being said, even when vietnam did get colonized the chinese still ended up leaving because they figured it wasn’t worth their time:
You keep coping. The fact is the chinese had firearm and cannon technology at this time and the somalians didnt because they were still using swords and bows and arrows. The chinese had a major technological advantage period. You wanted to claim that the chinese didn't meet any technologically inferior people at the time and you were wrong.
Yes, “handgun” technology, but nothing like the conquistadors had. As for the Somalis, they likely had the better horses at the very least, given what was said about Ming horses. Possibly had better armor.
I made the claim about technology and then subsequently I made a more specific claim about firearm technology. There was never any ambiguity about which claim I was referring to afterwards in that particular part of the conversation, I made this abundantly clear. You're purposely trying to act as if I was making a claim about technological superiority in general when there is clear evidence that I began to specifically make claims about technological superiority as it involves weapons alone. I was always clear about the limitations of my claim and even directly referred to it in comment #315:You made the claim about technology. Firearms are only one facet of technology.
I never made any claim about superiority when it came to armor.
Except this doesnt change the fact that what I pointed out is correct. You continually kept changing your arguments. The points you bring up are not necessarily untrue, but they don't change the reality of the point that I originally brought up:
The Spanish wanted gold and silver. The Chinese wanted a vassal state and tribute. Two different motivations that require different methods. If Kotte had valuable resources that the Chinese wanted, who’s to say what they would have done? And what would have happened had the Kotte stopped paying tribute?
You keep bringing up various arguments which I disprove, afterwards you change your argument to something else. The way you argue is fundamentally dishonest, if one of your arguments is wrong you should just admit that its wrong instead of continually expanding the argument and changing the goalposts.
So basically according to you the chinese had to settle for a tributary system because they were too weak to colonize people but then when I pointed out the flaws in your reasoning you decided to try to go with the claim that the chinese installed a puppet instead and then finally you’re now trying to go with the claim that the conquistadors couldn’t have used a similar method since it was so far away. Isn’t it funny how you keep having to change your arguments?
Well look what happened to the kotte kingdom. Alakesvara was causing problems and the ming took him out (but ended up returning him alive) and put someone else in power. The chinese preferred to do things in a different way than european colonists did.
You’re right, they did want fundamentally different things because their needs were different. And so were the peoples they encountered. But what happened to people that refused to become vassal states and pay tribute to the Mings?
lol. You clearly didn't understand the point, or logic for that matter. The mongolians and the japanese having imperial ambitions would only help disprove the claim that only western europeans demonstrate a much higher inclination and tendency to want to dominate and rule over others. The fact that there are other martial, dominating ethnicities out there doesn't disprove the claim that Western Europeans demonstrate a much higher inclination and tendency to want to dominate and rule over others, it just means that other martial, dominating ethnicities exist. Your understanding of my point doesnt make any sense at all, its clear you don't understand the logic of it.
That was your second claim. The imperial ambitions of the Mongolians and Japanese help disprove the claim that Western Europeans demonstrate a much higher inclination and tendency to want to dominate and rule over others.
This is your cope because you don't want to admit that racial/ethnic differences in wanting to dominate others might exist. Throughout this entire conversation you've expressed extreme displeasure at the fact that maybe western europeans display some different psychological features than other races/ethnicities in the world. If I had said something positive like that western europeans exhibit unusual creativity and intelligence then you would have lapped it up, but you only got butthurt because it was something negative lol.
It’s also something extremely difficult to quantify in the first place given technological differences as I pointed out.
why do you keep bringing this up? I've not been hypocritical about this:
You didn’t mention the Mongolians or anyone else because you wanted to use the Ming Chinese as your cherrypicked example.
later on I explicitly clarified my stance in comment #284:
We’ve had over five centuries to observe the behavior of whites, it appears that western europeans (so not necessarily all whites, which is a clumsy term in this context) demonstrate a much higher inclination and tendency to want to dominate and rule over others. If you can’t trust over 500 years of observation regarding a specific racial group then what can you trust?
Its not cherry picking if i'm consistent with my logic (comment #177) and also clarify my logic as well (comment #284). Youre trying to suggest that I was making the argument that all asians are less dominating than west europeans and that I was cherry picking by not mentioning the mongolians, but I was never doing this to begin with and in comment #284 I explicitly clarified this. Why did you even try making this argument when its blatantly false?
When I mentioned the chinese I was referring only to the chinese and not all asians, although I’ll admit that wasn’t explicit about this. That being said, I was consistent with my logic because in the same comment I clarified what we meant regarding “races” with regards to white people. I never claimed to speak about whites in general, only western european whites. I mentioned this in comment #177 which I ironically enough wrote to you, you just dont remember:
never said they didn't. Why continue to make strawmen?
But even the Mings engaged in imperialism and committed atrocities.
I never said that whites were the only ones to colonize and dominate lol. You look ridiculous because of how badly you have misunderstood my argument. Isn't it funny that you still don't get it?
Then we have the Aztecs, Bantus, Ottomans, etc. Your claim is ridiculous.
Except...I didn't say this. Mind showing me where I claimed this? This is all I claimed:
And you were talking about whites being worse than everyone else in the world, so yes, the rest of the world is relevant.
So...claiming that western europeans (and not even all whites lol) demonstrate a much higher inclination and tendency to want to dominate and rule over others is the same as saying that whites are being worse than everyone else in the world? There are a couple of dominating ethnicities/cultural blocs in the world, western europeans are one of those. Stop whining that im being so mean to you. Its pathetic, its so funny how much white nationalists whine and complain when they even suspect someone is being waaacist against whites. You guys are no different than liberal snowflakes, pathetic.
We’ve had over five centuries to observe the behavior of whites, it appears that western europeans (so not necessarily all whites, which is a clumsy term in this context) demonstrate a much higher inclination and tendency to want to dominate and rule over others. If you can’t trust over 500 years of observation regarding a specific racial group then what can you trust?
Except...you still totally misunderstood the point lmao. Subsequently both of your points about the mongolians and the japanese became false in light of this.
Good, so we agree that the only thing that separates whites (or those that had colonies) from all the other races are the reasons that they succeeded.
No, its pretty clear that you've been trying to move goal posts. Typically you will make some unfounded claim, then I will disprove it, and then instead of you admitting that your claim was wrong, you double down and try moving the goal posts. By doing this you demonstrate a lack of integrityRaising additional points is not moving the goal posts, and you haven’t even tried to refute them.
As i’ve demonstrated over and over again, you keep backpedaling and trying to throw out new arguments/moving goal posts whenever I disprove one of your points.
Except...your original argument was that the chinese had no technological superiority over the indigenous people that they met. After I proved that wrong you subsequently went on to claim that they had no handheld guns at all which I also disproved. What youre saying regarding the superiority of the arquebus may be true, but its immaterial to the fact that you were wrong on multiple occasions regarding the topic of chinese technological superiority (or lack thereof). To clarify this even better, you were originally claiming that the chinese didn't colonize anybody because they were technologically equal to the indigenous people that they met and as such didn't have any sort of advantage, its only after I disproved this notion and demonstrated that the chinese did have access to better technology that you began to start trying to emphasize how the degree of technological superiority was actually what matters. How weasely is that? Take your L dude, its not my fault that you throw out lazy, easily disprovable arguments.
The Chinese on the arquebus in 1560 (well over a 100 years after Zheng voyages): It is unlike any other of the many types of fire weapons. In strength it can pierce armor. In accuracy it can strike the center of targets, even to the point of hitting the eye of a coin [i.e., shooting right through a coin], and not just for exceptional shooters. … The arquebus [鳥銃] is such a powerful weapon and is so accurate that even bow and arrow cannot match it, and … nothing is so strong as to be able to defend against it.[70]

yup...and the same logic which you used to show that whites are not uniquely bad for wanting to dominate the world also means that jews are not uniquely bad for wanting to dominate the world. You never said anything about beliefs or intent mattering in the logic which you used to "exonerate" whites, likewise we must equally apply this logic to every other group, including jews.
No, it is you that doesn’t understand. I never tried to exonerate whites. I just showed that whites are not uniquely bad for wanting to dominate the world, something you admit.
Except I wasn't talking about the jews. We can make it any group, pygmys, some obscure tribe in the amazon, it doesnt matter. Lets just assume that there was some random tribe in the middle of nowhere that was weak and small in numbers BUT they had a religion and core racial/ethnic identity based upon the supremacy of their race; according to you they would be uniquely bad in spite of being objectively powerless. Your reasoning is ridiculous and is basically tantamount to magical thinking. The intent of a people matters much less than their actions. Likewise your logic could support other equally absurd scenarios. What if there was a race of people who believed in helping others, are completely anti-racial supremacist and believe in trying to be good to everyone but then in their actions they went and killed millions of people? According to your logic, they are still good because they have good beliefs even though through their actions they killed millions of people. Intent and beliefs matter significantly less than you think they do, your reasoning on this point has always been weak.
Yes, they are uniquely bad because no other group has religion and core racial/ethnic identity based upon the supremacy of their race. And they are far from powerless, quite the contrary. They continue on a quest for world domination in modern times even after whites have changed their ways. What’s the white equivalent of the Torah and Talmud? 🙂
But its patently bizarre reasoning, you condemn jews and then you claim that there is no way for them to escape your condemnation even if they are secular. How fucked up is that? For someone that cries so loud about how whites are different for being able to change and become better, yet you totally close off this possibility for jews. This right here demonstrates how fucked up your thinking is dude. So some random blue collar jew who doesn't even practice his culture/religion anymore is uniquely bad, ok.
On the other hand, subjugation of the goyim is built into the Jewish identity. Their religion is literally a roadmap for world domination, and their racial/ethnic consciousness is based upon “choseness” and genetic superiority. Secular Jews are not exempt from this because they still belong to the greater Jewish ethnic identity and culture which has largely been defined by Judaism the religion.
LOL. We already covered this buddy back in comment #316 where I asked you to define what you consider as a white supremacist. You're trying to claim that im wrong while forgetting the fact that when I gave you the 60-70% figure I was explicitly using my own definition of a white supremacist. You didn't provide your definition of what you considered a white supremacist until after that post. You're trying to claim im wrong but your logic is chronologically messed up.
A white supremacist would want the return of colonialism. You claimed that up to 60-70% of race realists could be white supremacists, but not even all race realists are white nationalists, yet alone white supremacists.
sometimes but not necessarily. Some people think the nuclear bombings of japan were justified but that doesn't mean that they want to see it happen again. Your reasoning is really simplisticReplies: @dfordoom, @FvS
And you still don’t seem to understand the concept of silver linings. Obviously, if you think something is justified, that it is right, you would probably want to see its return.
Yeah lol, this actually isnt even true. If you want to discuss this point further then pick a specific quote and post number and we will discuss it specifically. The thing is, your claim falls apart when we actually examine the specific conversations at hand, anybody reading this can see this as well. Its easy for you to make a broad claim like this, but bring up specific examples and lets discuss them. Don't hide behind broad claims, get specific.also where I was specifically talking about the sins of "whites"? do you mean western europeans? Why pretend like I was ever acting like I was talking about all whites when I made sure to clarify that I was talking about western europeans very early on.Don't forget, the entire reason I was airing the dirty laundry of western europeans was in response to you (as a white advocate/white nationalist) claiming that jews were bad for wanting world domination. I didn't bring up negative things about "whites" randomly just to rag on whites, I brought it up because it was pertinent to the point which you originally made. Like dude, if you get so butthurt over people disagreeing with you then why do you leave comments in the first place?Chinese treatment of the Vietnamese, Uyghurs, and Tibetans or ignoring the Mongolians, Japanese, Aztecs, Bantus, Ottomans, etc.I dont recall doing this. Show specific posts where I did this.
All your posts were about the sins of whites while making excuses for or even ignoring what other races have done.
Yeah nobody suggested that the chinese are trying to "uplift" africa out of the kindness of their hearts
Well, they’re definitely doing more than just engaging in trade. That can’t be disputed. And I guarantee they aren’t trying to “uplift” Africa out of the kindness of their hearts.
why else would you bring up the point below if you weren't trying to suggest that neo-colonialism is in some way similarly bad to european style colonialism?
Then you misunderstood.
we've been having a conversation about european style colonization and you asked me if I support chinese neocolonialism in africa or not in order to see if im a hypocrite. The fact that you were trying to see if I was a hypocrite or not suggests that you consider european style colonization and chinese neocolonialism as the same. If you truly thought that they were different then you never would have asked me that question in the first place.
It wouldn’t surprise me one bit coming from these people. Do you support Chinese neocolonialism in Africa or not? Let’s see if you’re a hypocrite.
no it wasnt, go back to the original comment where this topic originated (#318):
The point was about colonization in general and the way the people being colonized were treated.
I was always referring to global colonization, it was you who took it out of context (not surprisingly)
Just to be absolutely clear on this; if china ever begins invading the world and acts exactly in the same manner as european colonizers did then I will have no problem condemning the chinese. Due to your WN blinkers you are under the impression that im hypocritical and “anti-white” but the truth is that im interested in being fair and non-biased as possible. Colonialism is colonialism, it doesnt matter who does it, its immoral.
No, actually it is different. China's "colonization" attempts of xinjiang and tibet are largely being done in order to stabilize the area and keep the CIA from using the locations to foment unrest in china. Therefore china has a vested interest in pacifying the area; china acting this way in xinjiang and tibet is qualitatively different than china randomly going to some foreign country and trying to colonize them. I think that china's version of colonization would be more accurately called "reactive" colonization. Besides, if china is really trying to colonize different cultures in bad faith then why isnt it trying to colonize the other 55 minority groups in china? Funny how the only places that china is colonizing are the same places that have been targets of CIA destabilization effortsOnly a matter of location.
What china is supposedly doing in xinjiang and tibet is different than china randomly showing up at some random country and then invading and colonizing them.
this is pretty embarrassing that you posted this. It just goes to show how uninformed you are most of the time. You do realize that everyone in china (including the han chinese) got damaged during the great leap forward and the cultural revolution right? Look it up yourself dudehttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Leap_Forward
During the Great Leap Forward, between 200,000 and 1,000,000 Tibetans may have died.,[62] and approximately 6,000 monasteries were destroyed during the Cultural Revolution, thus the vast majority of historic Tibetan architecture was destroyed.[63]
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tibet#From_1950_to_present
9/11 was also pretty well documented, do you believe the official version? Do you know how many documents, articles, news reports etc there are out there that support the official version? As you saw yourself with the fake picture you posted, disinformation is really easy to spread, the reason why is because most people will not bother to dig into the facts and try to understand what's actually going on. I think that china is probably engaging in some colonial type practices in xinjiang, but its hard to say how bad it really is and whats actually going on due to all of the disinformation going around. Equally important is to ask why they are doing this in the first place, which I alluded to above. Anyways, you do know that the US actively spreads propaganda and disinformation right? https://www.unz.com/avltchek/march-of-the-uyghurs/Anyways all of this is a moot point because I never denied that china engaged in regional colonization. Therefore you're not "proving me wrong" by posting stuff about tibet and xinjiang. I was clearly talking about africa in the context of global colonization to begin with.
It’s pretty well documented. They’re doing things the Europeans did at times in their colonies. Some of it’s worse. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uyghurs#Persecution_of_Uyghurs_in_Xinjiang
yeah but whats the point? The chinese are quite racist towards africans and so what?
Haha, don’t give me that nonsense. Calling attention to Jewish power and the Jewish role in the destruction of my people is not the same as opening an art exhibit comparing Africans to primates. Just do a google search of Chinese Africa racism. There are tons of articles.
Like I said, you seem to care more about this than I do. If you care so much then go look for it yourself, I only have 128 comments and I discuss this topic pretty frequently.https://www.unz.com/comments/all/?commenterfilter=GammaRayI didn’t think you’d be able to.
You seem to care more about it than I do, so go look for it yourself. I only have 125 comments and I discuss this particular topic quite frequently so it shouldnt be hard for you to find a comment where im having discussions about colonization with white nationalists.
Mass immigration and globalist free trade would be significantly curtailed if the world was not so strongly interconnected, how did the world get so strongly interconnected? the colonization of the world by the west, which made the world a much smaller place. Truthfully you are just sensitive about anything that might make whites look bad, that's why you protest so much and try to deny anything that might cast whites in a bad light
I disagree. Mass immigration and globalist free trade are not dependent on the existence of colonialism.
actually it turns out that I was wrong about this. The page that I was getting my information about the lam son uprising actually had incorrect information:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fourth_Chinese_domination_of_VietnamThe correct information regarding the situation was in the link that you provided. I do retract my point in comment #347 since it was based on false information.
The final campaign did not start well for the Ming forces...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lam_Son_uprising
That being said, It turns out that the vietnamese adopted firearm technology from the ming dynasty in the late 14th century so its not surprising that the last and most short lived domination of vietnam by china coincided with vietnam gaining firearm technology a few decades prior.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Po_Binasuor
Or maybe they weren’t really that interested in “domination” to begin with:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In 1390, Po Binasuor was finally stopped in another invasion of the capital, when his royal barge suffered a musketry salvo.[2]:107–109
uh...I was never making a broad claim about the asian race. Why do you keep bringing up points which I never made?Replies: @FvS
But you did claim they were less bloodthirsty and power hungry than the Europeans. This may or may not be true, but it also says nothing about whether Asians as a race are, let alone all other races.
I never did though. This is a misconception that you have created yourself, its not based on something I actually said. Here is what I originally wrote:
Then stop pretending whites are somehow unique in this way.
First of all, I specified that western europeans are mostly guilty of trying to dominate the entire world so not all whites. Secondly, I never said that whites are the only ones who engage in this behavior. I only claimed that they appear to demonstrate a much higher inclination and tendency to want to dominate and ruler over others. Saying that they demonstrate a much higher inclination and tendency to want to dominate and rule over others is not the same as saying that only whites want to dominate and rule over others. You do understand the difference here right? Mongolians also appear to demonstrate a much higher inclination and tendency to want to dominate and rule over others as well but I didn't mention them because they werent relevant to the original point, which was me claiming that white nationalists are hypocrites for criticizing jews for wanting world domination when whites have been more historically guilty of this. Do you understand this now? I was only talking about whites because whites and jews were the only races that were relevant to my original point.
We’ve had over five centuries to observe the behavior of whites, it appears that western europeans (so not necessarily all whites, which is a clumsy term in this context) demonstrate a much higher inclination and tendency to want to dominate and rule over others.
your intense sense of white victimhood renders you unable to understand arguments. Think carefully about what I wrote:
Your original assertion was that the the only race that actually desired to dominate the entire world and succeeded in doing so was whites. However, only a few whites countries engaged in “world domination.” When they had the power to, Mongolians engaged in a campaign for world domination. Japan engaged in imperialism during WWII. Therefore, your original claim of whites being the only race to try and dominate the entire world is false.
I didn't say that whites were the only race that desired to dominate the entire world, what I wrote was a two part conditional statement. I clearly stated that the only race that actually desired to dominate the entire world AND succeeded in doing so was whites. You completely misunderstood the point. You incorrectly thought I was trying to claim that whites were the only race that desired to dominate the world when actually I was saying something significantly different. Therefore your point about the mongolians and the japanese falls flat since I never claimed that whites were the only ones who wanted to dominate the world in the first place.
the only race that actually desired to dominate the entire world and succeeded in doing so was whites
Uh...yeah it was. I clarified what "whites" I was talking about as early as my third response to you in comment #177:
By this point we had already established that we were talking about European countries with world spanning colonies. That wasn’t the case early on.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
We’ve had over five centuries to observe the behavior of whites, it appears that western europeans (so not necessarily all whites, which is a clumsy term in this context) demonstrate a much higher inclination and tendency to want to dominate and rule over others. If you can’t trust over 500 years of observation regarding a specific racial group then what can you trust?
No need for me to write out a new response since my old response is still correct. As i've demonstrated over and over again, you keep backpedaling and trying to throw out new arguments/moving goal posts whenever I disprove one of your points.
You never refuted my claim, and you basically ignored the sentence immediately after it. It was obvious I was talking about a certain degree of technological advantage. As for the other points I brought up, I see you have no argument against them.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Funny how before I provided evidence to refute your claim that there was no technological gap between the chinese and the indigenous people they met you were very adamant about suggesting that european success in colonizing the new world was attributed solely to their superior weapons and armor, yet now that i’ve invalidated your original claim you suddenly want to bring up other factors which helped europeans succeed in colonizing the new world. You never previously brought up these factors before in spite of us discussing this topic back and forth over multiple comments, yet ironically you only brought them up once it became apparent that your original point (there being no technological gap between the chinese and the indigenous they encountered) was proven false. Once again, you were proven wrong and you’re basically attempting a variation of moving the goalposts by trying to push through new arguments once you discovered that your original argument was definitively disproven.
No actually I do. My claim was always that western europeans demonstrate a much higher inclination and tendency to want to dominate and rule over others, therefore your arguments about what enabled the spanish to actually be successful in colonizing the new world is irrelevant since I was always talking about inclination, tendencies and intent from the very beginning. Do you understand this? it doesnt matter that the spanish were actually successful in dominating the new world, what matters is that they displayed a greater tendency to want to dominate and rule over others in the first place.
As for the other points I brought up, I see you have no argument against them.
Youre missing the point and getting caught up in semantics. I didn't literally mean that world domination is "justified". What I meant is very obvious from my quote, its not my fault that you don't understand it:
Strawman. For the umpteenth time, pointing out that everyone engages in a certain behavior, doesn’t mean you think that behavior is justified. And I said that Jews are uniquely bad since they have a religion and core racial/ethnic identity based upon Jewish supremacy. No other people has this, including whites. And because whites don’t have this, we were able to change our beliefs about colonization, slavery, world domination, etc. Jews, however, are the primary instigators of white genocide that is happening right now. You haven’t even attempted to refute any of this.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Neither of these claims can exist simultaneously, they are mutually exclusive. In this case, Claim #1 supercedes claim #2 because claim #1 is the claim with which you originally exonerated white unique guilt over world domination with (and therefore we must apply it to all other races as well). Therefore claim #1 is able to take precedence over claim #2 because claim #1 implies all forms of world domination are justified according to ability/opportunity while making no mention of beliefs or intent mattering.
ok, lets say that there was some random tribe in the middle of nowhere that was weak and small in numbers BUT they had a religion and core racial/ethnic identity based upon the supremacy of their race; according to you they would be uniquely bad in spite of being objectively powerless. According to your reasoning which you have used over and over again to condemn jews as being uniquely bad, this small, insignificant tribe would be considered worse than western europeans who have actually practiced racial supremacy and actually dominated the entire world. Do you see how silly your reasoning is now?Anyways, your original logic is still incorrect. My entire chunk of logic disproves your original claims. Its telling that you never actually tried to disprove it, instead you just repeated your point again like you have been even though im clearly showing you why your logic is incorrect.
And I said that Jews are uniquely bad since they have a religion and core racial/ethnic identity based upon Jewish supremacy. No other people has this, including whites.
Your logic regarding the jews doesn't make sense and it contradicts itself with your logic regarding whites as I pointed out earlier.
Your point regarding the jews and their beliefs is still incorrect. Your logic was flawed here and continues to be flawed. My original refutation was of this point was correct, in all of its iterations. To simplify this, you are basically making two claims here when we apply your (dual) lines of reasoning to the jews:1.Jews are not bad for world domination since any other race would do so if they had the ability to2.Jews are bad for world domination (because they have a creed which supports world domination)Neither of these claims can exist simultaneously, they are mutually exclusive. In this case, Claim #1 supercedes claim #2 because claim #1 is the claim with which you originally exonerated white unique guilt over world domination with (and therefore we must apply it to all other races as well). Therefore claim #1 is able to take precedence over claim #2 because claim #1 implies all forms of world domination are justified according to ability/opportunity while making no mention of beliefs or intent mattering.
why continue to spout this falsehood when even you yourself concede this point right after?
And because whites don’t have this, we were able to change our beliefs about colonization, slavery, world domination, etc.
jews were instrumental in reeducating the west about colonization, slavery, world domination, etc; the west didn't do this by themselves like you're implying.
It was hardly altruistic though. It was so that Jews would have fewer rivals, and so the path could be paved for white genocide.
I never claimed that jews weren't the primary instigators of "white genocide". So why are you asking me to refute something which I never claimed?
Jews, however, are the primary instigators of white genocide that is happening right now. You haven’t even attempted to refute any of this.
Whatever their motives for doing it doesnt matter; factually speaking jews played a large role in helping whites to shed white supremacy and pro-colonialist thinking. You wanted to claim that whites changed themselves when actually it was jews who helped whites to change, therefore you were incorrect on this point, the actual motives of the jews are irrelevant to this point.
It was hardly altruistic though. It was so that Jews would have fewer rivals, and so the path could be paved for white genocide.
once again, I never claimed this. Its pointless for you to keep trying to use this against me. This was what I originally wrote:
Find me one white nationalist that supports the return of colonialism. You still haven’t done this.
most white advocates ive encountered make endless rationalizations for colonization instead of arguing against it and just admitting it was wrong, including you. There are maybe like 0.05% of white advocates who will admit that european colonization was morally wrong, the rest will make flimsy apologetic arguments for it or will even be proud of it. Just FYI, im an old hand on the alt-right, ive been in this corner of the internet for over a decade now so I know what im talking about. I’ve had plenty of exposure to white advocates to know exactly how they feel and what kind of beliefs they hold, everything you’re saying is blatantly false.
this is a lie, I never claimed that. Thats what you claimed I was claiming. CTRL+F the word "support" and see if you can find where I claimed that white nationalists support colonization still. Do that and then post the quote where I claimed this. The only thing I claimed was that white nationalists still make excuses for colonization, see above.Replies: @FvS
See above. And you’re the one that made the claim that many white nationalists support colonization still.
First of all, I specified that western europeans are mostly guilty of trying to dominate the entire world so not all whites. Secondly, I never said that whites are the only ones who engage in this behavior. I only claimed that they appear to demonstrate a much higher inclination and tendency to want to dominate and ruler over others. Saying that they demonstrate a much higher inclination and tendency to want to dominate and rule over others is not the same as saying that only whites want to dominate and rule over others.

Do you understand this now? I was only talking about whites because whites and jews were the only races that were relevant to my original point.
That was your second claim. The imperial ambitions of the Mongolians and Japanese help disprove the claim that Western Europeans demonstrate a much higher inclination and tendency to want to dominate and rule over others. It’s also something extremely difficult to quantify in the first place given technological differences as I pointed out. You didn’t mention the Mongolians or anyone else because you wanted to use the Ming Chinese as your cherrypicked example. But even the Mings engaged in imperialism and committed atrocities. Then we have the Aztecs, Bantus, Ottomans, etc. Your claim is ridiculous. And you were talking about whites being worse than everyone else in the world, so yes, the rest of the world is relevant.
I didn’t say that whites were the only race that desired to dominate the entire world, what I wrote was a two part conditional statement. I clearly stated that the only race that actually desired to dominate the entire world AND succeeded in doing so was whites. You completely misunderstood the point.

Good, so we agree that the only thing that separates whites (or those that had colonies) from all the other races are the reasons that they succeeded. In my opinion, the biggest factors are martial ability, a huge technological advantage, size/athleticism, and intelligence. Also, in the case of the New World, disease.
Uh…yeah it was. I clarified what “whites” I was talking about as early as my third response to you in comment #177:
Okay.
As i’ve demonstrated over and over again, you keep backpedaling and trying to throw out new arguments/moving goal posts whenever I disprove one of your points.
Raising additional points is not moving the goal posts, and you haven’t even tried to refute them. Also, the degree of technological advantage that the Europeans had over the people they colonized was much greater than the one the Chinese had over the people they encountered. The Chinese on the arquebus in 1560 (well over a 100 years after Zheng voyages): It is unlike any other of the many types of fire weapons. In strength it can pierce armor. In accuracy it can strike the center of targets, even to the point of hitting the eye of a coin [i.e., shooting right through a coin], and not just for exceptional shooters. … The arquebus [鳥銃] is such a powerful weapon and is so accurate that even bow and arrow cannot match it, and … nothing is so strong as to be able to defend against it.[70]

No actually I do. My claim was always that western europeans demonstrate a much higher inclination and tendency to want to dominate and rule over others, therefore your arguments about what enabled the spanish to actually be successful in colonizing the new world is irrelevant since I was always talking about inclination, tendencies and intent from the very beginning. Do you understand this? it doesnt matter that the spanish were actually successful in dominating the new world, what matters is that they displayed a greater tendency to want to dominate and rule over others in the first place.
Which you never proved.
Nonsense. The thrust of your claim was pretty clear, anybody reading this can see that. You're just backpedaling at this point. What you're now claiming you meant (funny how that works huh) is that you were talking about technologically inferior to the same extent as the europeans and the amerindians, and this claim might hold water if it werent for the fact that you included this sentence at the very beginning of your clause: "That’s because they (the indigenous people the chinese met) weren’t technologically inferior."
Except I wrote, “the Chinese never had the same technological advantages that the Europeans had.” When I said that they weren’t technologically inferior, I thought it was obvious we were talking about to the same extent as the Europeans and the Amerindians.
Its clear that you were setting the tone for the rest of your clause with that sentence. Its very obvious from what you originally wrote when we read it in its entirety is that you literally meant that the chinese had no technological superiority over the indigenous people they met. You were very clear about that. More evidence that this is the correct interpretation of what you wrote is the fact that you've posted other incorrect things or revealed your ignorance about various facts numerous times during our conversation; you've already established a pretty strong pattern of making unfounded claims and this particular claim fits the same pattern as the other misinformed claims that you've made. Remember how you incorrectly posted that quote talking about the ming-kotte war and it turned out that you didnt even read the second half of the quote to understand what it was really talking about? Yeah, well I see the same trademark sloppiness and lack of diligence and basic research when it comes to most of your claims, including this one.
That’s because they weren’t technologically inferior. The Chinese never had the same technological advantages that the Europeans had. Europeans had better armor and weapons.
Except this isnt what you yourself were originally claiming. This is what you originally claimed:
It says nothing about the Kotte not having cannons. It just says that the Portuguese had an advantage because of their knowledge of firearms, and they were probably talking about handheld firearms.
You were referring to firearms and not cannons. Once I conclusively debunked your point about firearms you tried to switch things up and talk about cannons instead. Why do you continue to try to weasel around points, did you really think I wouldn't catch something like this?
Or that the Kotte had inferior firearms to the Portuguese.
Something tells me you didnt even bother trying to research the history of the founding of the malacca sultanate. I made it really easy for you too, I provided you an approximate date (circa the 1400s) as well as giving you a link:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Malacca_Sultanatesince you were obviously unaware, Parameswara was on the run:
Wrong (see above), and we don’t know the technological advancement of the Malacca Sultanate when Zheng visited. It makes you wonder though what would have happened had Parameswara rejected the Ming offer of essentially becoming a vassal state. The Malaccan envoy replied that the “king (Parameswara) is admiring and willing to pay annual tribute, please grant the “hill” as the city of the kingdom.” The emperor agreed, and granted the inscription of imperial poetry embellished onto stone tablet to the “hill” (where hill means Malacca).
So to sum things up, the malacca sultanate was formed in the early 1400s by a king on the run who built it in the locality of a fishing village that had become a safe haven for refugees running away from Mahapahit's attacks. Does that sound like the kind of conditions which would support technological advancement? A refugee haven built upon a fishing village which had turned into the malacca sultanate just a few years before the arrival of zheng he's fleet? I'm not ruling out the fact that they could have been technologically advanced, but i'm saying that its very very unlikely that they were more technologically advanced than the ming dynasty. Its clear to me that you're grasping at straws
By the second half of 14th century, Kingdom of Singapura grew wealthy. However, its success alarmed two regional powers at that time, Ayuthaya from the north and Majapahit from the south. As a result, the kingdom's fortified capital was attacked by at least two major foreign invasions before it was finally sacked by Majapahit in 1398.[12][13][14] The fifth and last king, Parameswara fled to the west coast of the Malay Peninsula.
Yup, I have seen over and over again your lack of due diligence when it comes to making claims about things.
I thought I read it, but maybe it was the wrong time period.
Your original claim was this:
Again, the Chinese were never in the European position of having such a strong technological advantage over the people they encountered. The Mings didn’t even have handheld firearms during Zheng’s voyages. But the Mings still engaged in colonization and forced their neighbors to submit to the vassal state system. What happened to the countries that rejected China’s sovereignty? Oh that’s right, they got the Vietnam treatment.
Which I gave you a relevant answer to and even the means to verify your assertion. You're dodging the (obvious) probable answer to your question regarding who would have the highest percentage of trying to colonize people, europeans or the chinese. Since you didn't like the probable answer to your own query when using the methodology which I provided you, you instead tried to shift the goalposts and throw out this argument instead:
Did the Europeans conquer and colonize every single people they found?
Regardless of whether or not this claim is true, its clear that you simply didnt want to accept the answer that your original question would have yielded.
Again, the Chinese were never in the European position of having such a strong technological advantage over the people they encountered.
Why do you claim this? Did you even bother researching your point before writing it? I think you should catch up on your knowledge of history. Just FYI the ming dynasty treasure voyages happened in the first part of the 15th century to give you a solid reference point, below I have provided some links detailing the history of gunpowder weapons during the ming dynasty:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gunpowder_weapons_in_the_Ming_dynasty#Early_Ming_period
The Mings didn’t even have handheld firearms during Zheng’s voyages
A precise date was not provided for this development however we know that it happened sometime during the 14th century since the hongwu emperor lived from 21 October 1328 – 24 June 1398.It appears that what you're claiming was blatantly wrong. The ming dynasty did indeed have handheld firearm technology during the time of zheng he's voyages. In fact the worlds oldest confirmed surviving handgun is the Heilongjiang hand cannon which dates back to the late 13th century.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heilongjiang_hand_cannonWhy dont you bother researching stuff before making claims about it?
The Hongwu Emperor created a Bureau of Armaments (軍器局) which was tasked with producing every three years 3,000 handheld bronze guns, 3,000 signal cannons, and ammunition as well as accoutrements such as ramrods. His Armory Bureau (兵仗局) was responsible for producing types of guns known as "great generals," "secondary generals," "tertiary generals," and "gate-seizing generals." Other firearms such as "miraculous [fire] lances," "miraculous guns," and "horse-beheading guns" were also produced. It is unclear what proportion or how many of each type were actually manufactured.[12]
I never claimed that the chinese didn't engage in colonialism of some sort. Why are you suggesting otherwise? And don't deny that you arent suggesting this because its very clear that you are. I always claimed that the chinese seemed much less interested in world domination than western europeans did (as opposed to regional domination), and secondly I claimed that chinese colonization is of a different nature than european style colonization.Regarding the "vietnam treatment", vietnam probably got a really cruel treatment just because they were presumably a thorn in china's side at various times over a period of 1500 years, but I dont know the history between the two countries deeply so I can't say for sure. I just know their mutual history is very long and very complicated. That being said, even when vietnam did get colonized the chinese still ended up leaving because they figured it wasn't worth their time:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fourth_Chinese_domination_of_Vietnam
But the Mings still engaged in colonization and forced their neighbors to submit to the vassal state system. What happened to the countries that rejected China’s sovereignty? Oh that’s right, they got the Vietnam treatment.
secondly and more importantly, china didn't always treat "colonized" countries like vietnam like you're claiming. Just look at what I wrote regarding how the chinese treated the kotte in the ming-kotte war earlier in this thread. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ming%E2%80%93Kotte_War
The Ming dynasty crushed Lê’s rebellion at first but court debates concluded that Vietnam was an unnecessary distraction and the Ming decided to withdraw their armies from Vietnam, long before the rebels started scoring any victories. When Lê offered to become a vassal of China, the Ming immediately declared him as ruler of Vietnam.[1] Le Loi then ascended the Vietnamese throne, taking the reign name Lê Thái Tổ and establishing the Lê dynasty (1428–1788).
So your point was not only offbase, but it was also incorrect too.
You’re implying that the chinese had to settle for the tributary system because they couldn’t outright colonize people, but if this is the case then why didnt they colonize the kotte? They had already destroyed their army, invaded the capital and took the king and the royal family captive; colonizing the place would have been a fait accompli, yet the chinese didnt bother colonizing them and on the contrary they even ended up repatriating the offending king, his family and his officials.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abyssinian%E2%80%93Adal_war
Except you have to take into consideration the totality of technological advancement, not just whether or not they had cannons.
https://www.somalispot.com/threads/ancient-somali-weaponry.3987/^ traditional somalian weaponsThe somalians were just beginning to realize the utility of firearms during the 16th century, meanwhile the chinese already had handgun technology going back to the late 13th century. If it took the somalians until the 16th century to realize the utility of firearms then how much less advanced do you think they were a full century before that? If they weren't using firearms then what were they using? Probably swords and bows and arrows, just like everyone else. Just to remind you, handgun technology already existed during the period of zheng he's voyages.
Some scholars also argue that this conflict proved, through their use on both sides, the value of firearms such as the matchlock musket, cannons and the arquebus over traditional weapons.[13]
Your own words indict you. From the very getgo I was upfront about what I was claiming to prove (superior weapons). I never made any claim about superiority when it came to armor. Therefore you claiming that I didn't succeed in proving what I claimed is blatantly false since I never made that particular claim in the first place. So not only were you wrong about that, you're also wrong about this as well
I didn’t say you were trying to claim something else, just that you didn’t succeed in proving what you claimed.
You're still trying to move goalposts, you do this everytime I prove the original iteration of one of your points wrong. Its really funny looking at the evolution of your points:
True, but in the end, Kotte was subservient to China. I doubt the conquistadors could have established the same kind of control over the New World using similar methods, especially since it was so far away.
So basically according to you the chinese had to settle for a tributary system because they were too weak to colonize people but then when I pointed out the flaws in your reasoning you decided to try to go with the claim that the chinese installed a puppet instead and then finally you're now trying to go with the claim that the conquistadors couldn't have used a similar method since it was so far away. Isn't it funny how you keep having to change your arguments?Also you're comparing apples and oranges. The ming dynasty never tried to colonize kotte, therefore they never needed to establish absolute control over the kotte like the conquistadors had to do with their subjects. Kotte's subserviency to china was true in basically the mildest sense possible. All the chinese did was install a friendly ruler there, which is not necessarily the same as installing a puppet. This can be seen in this paragraph:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ming%E2%80%93Kotte_WarTrue, but in the end, Kotte was subservient to China. I doubt the conquistadors could have established the same kind of control over the New World using similar methods, especially since it was so far away.Installing a “puppet” and leaving the place isnt the same as colonizing a place in the manner that europeans did. Why do you continue to be disingenuous? Its obviously because you make weak and unfounded arguments which I disprove, afterwards you have to resort to stretching your arguments and moving goalposts.They installed a puppet. “As documented in Chinese records, Parakramabahu VI was elected by the Sinhalese present at the Ming court, nominated by the Ming emperor, and installed by Admiral Zheng He with the backing of his fleet.”
You’re implying that the chinese had to settle for the tributary system because they couldn’t outright colonize people, but if this is the case then why didnt they colonize the kotte?
Installing a "puppet" implies that the chinese were interested in telling the kotte kingdom what to do and how run their society, but the chinese didn't want this. They only wanted a friendly ruler in the area. If you want proof of this then just read the history of the kotte kingdom yourself:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kingdom_of_Kottethere's hardly any mention at all of the ming dynasty. The chinese didn't radically change the kotte society or culture, they didnt enslave anyone, displace or colonize the area. They pretty much installed a friendly ruler and then left; this can be seen by how little direct impact the ming dynasty had on the history of the kotte kingdom. Keep in mind that they did all this even though they had the ability to completely dominate the kotte kingdom. Therefore your original point was off the mark, the chinese and the spanish were trying to do two fundamentally different things, the chinese never sought to dominate the kotte kingdom in the first place.Replies: @FvS
The Chinese were allied with Parakramabahu VI and dethroned Alakeshvara in favor of him.[9][10] The Yongle Emperor had requested from the Ministry of Rites to recommend someone to serve as the new king of Kotte.[3] As documented in Chinese records, Parakramabahu VI was elected by the Sinhalese present at the Ming court, nominated by the Ming emperor, and installed by Admiral Zheng He with the backing of his fleet.[10] By the time the Chinese embassy arrived, the previous Sinhalese dynasty had re-established themselves in Kotte.[3] With Parakramavahu VI as the ruler in Ceylon, both economic and diplomatic relations between China and Ceylon was improved.[9] From then on, the Chinese treasure fleet would experience no hostilities during visits to Ceylon on subsequent voyages.[3]
Its clear that you were setting the tone for the rest of your clause with that sentence. Its very obvious from what you originally wrote when we read it in its entirety is that you literally meant that the chinese had no technological superiority over the indigenous people they met. You were very clear about that.
The second sentence was to clarify that I was talking about the degree of advantage that the Europeans had. You ignored this and are now trying to weasel your way out of it. And it’s true, the Chinese did not have the same level of technological advantage that the European colonizers had.
You were referring to firearms and not cannons. Once I conclusively debunked your point about firearms you tried to switch things up and talk about cannons instead.
Talking about gunpowder weapons in general, something the Amerindians did not have at all. I don’t think we have established if the Kotte did or not.
I’m not ruling out the fact that they could have been technologically advanced, but i’m saying that its very very unlikely that they were more technologically advanced than the ming dynasty.
Okay, I agree. But by the 1430’s they were said to have been able to defend themselves sufficiently without Chinese aid.
Yup, I have seen over and over again your lack of due diligence when it comes to making claims about things.
Yeah, I’m not an expert on the Ming Dynasty, and I’m not very invested in this debate.
You’re dodging the (obvious) probable answer to your question regarding who would have the highest percentage of trying to colonize people, europeans or the chinese.
There are many other factors to consider that have nothing to do with race such as the type of people encountered by both nations, religion, and natural resources. The New World was rich in gold and silver. Were Malacca and Kotte? I have no idea. It’s kind of an apples to oranges comparison. Furthermore, the existence of the Ming Chinese does not absolve the sins of other Asians. And the Mings were not innocent either, as if colonization is the worst thing a people can do.
It appears that what you’re claiming was blatantly wrong. The ming dynasty did indeed have handheld firearm technology during the time of zheng he’s voyages. In fact the worlds oldest confirmed surviving handgun is the Heilongjiang hand cannon which dates back to the late 13th century.
Again, I was talking about the Arquebus style firearm like the conquistadors had, not lumbering hand cannons.
I never claimed that the chinese didn’t engage in colonialism of some sort. Why are you suggesting otherwise? And don’t deny that you arent suggesting this because its very clear that you are. I always claimed that the chinese seemed much less interested in world domination than western europeans did (as opposed to regional domination), and secondly I claimed that chinese colonization is of a different nature than european style colonization.
The Mings were barely capable of regional domination, let alone world domination. They were ousted by the Vietnamese. They had to deal with northern invasions. And they were also limited in who they encountered, never having gone to the New World. Like I said above, there are many factors to consider.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sinicization
what anti-white vitriol? provide quotations. This is the second time ive asked you to provide proof.
I thought it was implied from all your anti-white vitriol. But it’s good to know that you’re on our side after all.
You were still wrong about that picture lol. Regardless of how I answer your question it doesnt change that lol.first of all, its questionable about whether or not what is going on in africa is truly neo-colonialism or not. There are far too many attempts by the US to create disinformation regarding china's actions in africa. I tend to be mildly supportive of china's work in africa but I still retain objectivity and acknowledge that they could be acting immorally as well. I refuse to take a solid stance either for it or against it until I can spend more time actually reading and learning about the current situation over there. I think that this is a reasonable stance to take. secondly, neo-colonialism != european style colonizationWhen the chinese literally begin enslaving africans en masse, forcing them to follow chinese religion (lots of chinese are atheist but lets assume that they had one common religion), forcing them to speak chinese, destroying their indigenous culture, raping the women and genociding/displacing natives from their land then I will gladly speak out against the chinese. I know that you're going to try to pathetically find singular or small scale examples of things like this (if you can even find them) and use them as proof, but until they happen on a large scale like with what happened during european colonization then it won't constitute proof. Neo-colonialism is bad in its own right, but its not as bad as european style colonization.Just to be absolutely clear on this; if china ever begins invading the world and acts exactly in the same manner as european colonizers did then I will have no problem condemning the chinese. Due to your WN blinkers you are under the impression that im hypocritical and "anti-white" but the truth is that im interested in being fair and non-biased as possible. Colonialism is colonialism, it doesnt matter who does it, its immoral. Also, whats the point of posting these videos? You posting these videos doesn't "prove me wrong" since I never claimed that the chinese were perfect or blameless to begin with. I only suggested that the chinese appear to generally have a different outlook and/or more humanitarian style when it comes to colonial type situations. Its obvious to me though that you post stuff like this because you and I both know that your arguments themselves lack substance, as a result you have to resort to gimmicks like this.
It wouldn’t surprise me one bit coming from these people. Do you support Chinese neocolonialism in Africa or not? Let’s see if you’re a hypocrite.
except ive debated with lots of white nationalists on the internet who try to justify the west's history of colonization. Who should I believe, you or my own lying eyes? Look through my previous comments and the discussions ive had with people if you don't believe it. Just because you think in a certain way doesnt mean that all white nationalists share your way of thinking (hint, many of them dont)
There is a difference between making excuses for something, that said thing was justified, and stating the existence of silver linings.
I never imparted a sense of just or unjustness in this quote. You are so deranged with your white nationalist blinkers that you see malice where there is none. I observed that the west is facing the impersonal and accidental consequences of its prior actions. This observation is objectively true, its true regardless of whether or not there is an observer lending their own sense of subjective moral judgement to it.
The west is currently being devoured by mass immigration and multiculturalism; this is a direct result of europeans colonizing the entire world. So, do you think what’s happening to whites now is just or unjust considering your statement there?
Yes it is. As I said, globalism would not be possible in the first place without a preexisting global geopolitical foundation in place. Trade and immigration policy would become irrelevant if the world wasn't so strongly globally interconnected in the first place. This is a very simple point. Im not sure what you meant by including military might though
Globalism is not dependent on the legacy of colonialism. It’s just a matter of trade, immigration policy, and military might.
Firstly, you seem to be unaware of the events preceding the lam son uprising, which is not surprising btw.
Right, it’s “complicated” lmao. As long as you colonize a neighbor, it’s all good.
The lam son uprising began due to a faction within vietnam itself (the tran dynasty) asking for intervention from the emperor of the ming dynasty. Like I said, china and vietnam have a lot of history and a lot of events leading up to this, there were lots of reasons (justified and unjustified) that china acted in this way. Lets assume for arguments sake that china was completely unjustified and wrong in this situation; well china would still be less wrong than the european colonizers since the european colonizers literally colonized and antagonized people they had never even met before. Murdering someone you have a complicated history with and murdering a complete stranger are both wrong, but I think that murdering a complete stranger is more wrong. You might have a different opinion thoughYou should read this to get a better idea of the complexity involved in this situation. It's not as if the chinese one day woke up and decided to randomly invade vietnamhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fourth_Chinese_domination_of_VietnamAlso its ironic that you chose to mention this event because it actually supports what ive been saying about the chinese way of doing things all along:
This was a troubled time in Vietnam's history as the Hồ dynasty in 1400 finally displaced the Trần dynasty and set about reforming the kingdom. Hồ rule was short lived as members of the Trần dynasty petitioned for intervention from the Yongle Emperor of the Chinese Ming Empire to the north. He responded by sending a powerful army south into Vietnam and vanquished the Hồ. Under the pretext of failing to find a living Trần heir, the Ming government chose to re-establish sovereignty over Vietnam, as was the case in the days of the Tang dynasty, some 500 years prior.
The chinese have historically not cared that much about things outside of china and vietnam was no exception. The ming dynasty was winning but the government ultimately decided that the whole affair was an unnecessary distraction and they withdrew from vietnam. If the chinese were truly hungry for colonizing people then they would have stuck around and finished the job, but like ive said before, the chinese had different priorities than western europeans did.Secondly and more importantly is the fact that I never claimed that china has never colonized anybody. I merely made the claim that china seemed uninterested in world domination as opposed to regional domination and even then I think domination is a bit of a strong term. Therefore your point about the lam son uprising falls flat; it doesnt disprove anything ive said and it fits completely within the previous arguments and logic that I have laid out.
The Ming dynasty crushed Lê's rebellion at first but court debates concluded that Vietnam was an unnecessary distraction and the Ming decided to withdraw their armies from Vietnam, long before the rebels started scoring any victories. When Lê offered to become a vassal of China, the Ming immediately declared him as ruler of Vietnam.[1] Le Loi then ascended the Vietnamese throne, taking the reign name Lê Thái Tổ and establishing the Lê dynasty (1428–1788).
Dont forget the king, the ming dynasty also returned the disposed king to ceylon. You really didnt bother reading it even after I corrected you the first time did you? Also this event proves my point about the chinese being less interested in european style colonization than europeans. Obviously though you are trying to avoid this fact by making what they did sound worse than it was as well as studiously avoiding any comparisons with what european colonizers would have done in a similar situation. Oh and as for mao what are you specifically referring to? Mao had a couple of shitty policies that resulted in many deaths, but this is not the same as deliberately killing everybody in the same way that european colonizers might have done. In any case no matter how bad mao was, it doesn't disprove the fact that the ming forces treated the kotte kingdom significantly better than the european colonizers would have (judging by the way they treated other dominated peoples)im going to let you know ahead of time that ill probably let you have the last word on this. I tire of debating with someone that continually argues in bad faith and uses poor arguments. If I do respond at all then it will probably be delayed because frankly I have better things to do than to waste time picking apart your arguments and demonstrating your falsehoods and misdirections.Replies: @FvS
Yes, so humane to conquer them, install your puppet government, and spare the women and children instead of slaughtering everyone outright. Not that they are adverse to that kind of thing as Mao showed.
what anti-white vitriol? provide quotations. This is the second time ive asked you to provide proof.
All your posts were about the sins of whites while making excuses for or even ignoring what other races have done.
You were still wrong about that picture lol. Regardless of how I answer your question it doesnt change that lol.

I’ll post it again. Obviously, the Chinese are going to have to be careful in the modern era in order not to arouse international suspicions.
https://www.panafricanalliance.com/china-africa-colonialism/

Didn’t say it was, but it’s not good either.

Uyghurs and Tibet, both happening in modern times so there’s less of an excuse for it.

To show you why the kids singing Chinese nationalist songs didn’t arouse suspicion in me. That and the Chinese are quite racist towards Africans.

Why don’t you post some highlights. And if they think colonialism was justified, they would likely support its return. Find me a white nationalist who does.
I observed that the west is facing the impersonal and accidental consequences of its prior actions.
It’s a deliberate campaign, and colonialism is just one of many justifications used as excuse for white genocide.
Lets assume for arguments sake that china was completely unjustified and wrong in this situation
They were. Posting it again.
The Ming government began a harsh rule of both colonization and sinicization. Valuable artifacts such as gems, jade, gold, pieces of art as well as craftsmen were transported to China. Vietnamese literature books like gazettes, maps, and registers were instructed to be burned, saved for one copy. Lê Lợi himself said that he chose the path of revolt against China’s brutal government when he personally witnessed the destruction of a Vietnamese village by Ming forces.
Murdering someone you have a complicated history with and murdering a complete stranger are both wrong, but I think that murdering a complete stranger is more wrong.
Haha, okay….
I merely made the claim that china seemed uninterested in world domination as opposed to regional domination and even then I think domination is a bit of a strong term.
That’s because they struggled enough with regional domination.
Dont forget the king, the ming dynasty also returned the disposed king to ceylon… In any case no matter how bad mao was, it doesn’t disprove the fact that the ming forces treated the kotte kingdom significantly better than the european colonizers would have (judging by the way they treated other dominated peoples)
The Chinese got what they wanted, a vassal state. What would be the point of colonizing it after that? Did they have an abundance of natural resources like gold, silver, or diamonds? As for Mao, that was just to show that the Chinese are not some kind of enlightened people incapable of mass murder.
I tire of debating with someone that continually argues in bad faith and uses poor arguments.
Ironic.
Nonsense. The thrust of your claim was pretty clear, anybody reading this can see that. You're just backpedaling at this point. What you're now claiming you meant (funny how that works huh) is that you were talking about technologically inferior to the same extent as the europeans and the amerindians, and this claim might hold water if it werent for the fact that you included this sentence at the very beginning of your clause: "That’s because they (the indigenous people the chinese met) weren’t technologically inferior."
Except I wrote, “the Chinese never had the same technological advantages that the Europeans had.” When I said that they weren’t technologically inferior, I thought it was obvious we were talking about to the same extent as the Europeans and the Amerindians.
Its clear that you were setting the tone for the rest of your clause with that sentence. Its very obvious from what you originally wrote when we read it in its entirety is that you literally meant that the chinese had no technological superiority over the indigenous people they met. You were very clear about that. More evidence that this is the correct interpretation of what you wrote is the fact that you've posted other incorrect things or revealed your ignorance about various facts numerous times during our conversation; you've already established a pretty strong pattern of making unfounded claims and this particular claim fits the same pattern as the other misinformed claims that you've made. Remember how you incorrectly posted that quote talking about the ming-kotte war and it turned out that you didnt even read the second half of the quote to understand what it was really talking about? Yeah, well I see the same trademark sloppiness and lack of diligence and basic research when it comes to most of your claims, including this one.
That’s because they weren’t technologically inferior. The Chinese never had the same technological advantages that the Europeans had. Europeans had better armor and weapons.
Except this isnt what you yourself were originally claiming. This is what you originally claimed:
It says nothing about the Kotte not having cannons. It just says that the Portuguese had an advantage because of their knowledge of firearms, and they were probably talking about handheld firearms.
You were referring to firearms and not cannons. Once I conclusively debunked your point about firearms you tried to switch things up and talk about cannons instead. Why do you continue to try to weasel around points, did you really think I wouldn't catch something like this?
Or that the Kotte had inferior firearms to the Portuguese.
Something tells me you didnt even bother trying to research the history of the founding of the malacca sultanate. I made it really easy for you too, I provided you an approximate date (circa the 1400s) as well as giving you a link:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Malacca_Sultanatesince you were obviously unaware, Parameswara was on the run:
Wrong (see above), and we don’t know the technological advancement of the Malacca Sultanate when Zheng visited. It makes you wonder though what would have happened had Parameswara rejected the Ming offer of essentially becoming a vassal state. The Malaccan envoy replied that the “king (Parameswara) is admiring and willing to pay annual tribute, please grant the “hill” as the city of the kingdom.” The emperor agreed, and granted the inscription of imperial poetry embellished onto stone tablet to the “hill” (where hill means Malacca).
So to sum things up, the malacca sultanate was formed in the early 1400s by a king on the run who built it in the locality of a fishing village that had become a safe haven for refugees running away from Mahapahit's attacks. Does that sound like the kind of conditions which would support technological advancement? A refugee haven built upon a fishing village which had turned into the malacca sultanate just a few years before the arrival of zheng he's fleet? I'm not ruling out the fact that they could have been technologically advanced, but i'm saying that its very very unlikely that they were more technologically advanced than the ming dynasty. Its clear to me that you're grasping at straws
By the second half of 14th century, Kingdom of Singapura grew wealthy. However, its success alarmed two regional powers at that time, Ayuthaya from the north and Majapahit from the south. As a result, the kingdom's fortified capital was attacked by at least two major foreign invasions before it was finally sacked by Majapahit in 1398.[12][13][14] The fifth and last king, Parameswara fled to the west coast of the Malay Peninsula.
Yup, I have seen over and over again your lack of due diligence when it comes to making claims about things.
I thought I read it, but maybe it was the wrong time period.
Your original claim was this:
Again, the Chinese were never in the European position of having such a strong technological advantage over the people they encountered. The Mings didn’t even have handheld firearms during Zheng’s voyages. But the Mings still engaged in colonization and forced their neighbors to submit to the vassal state system. What happened to the countries that rejected China’s sovereignty? Oh that’s right, they got the Vietnam treatment.
Which I gave you a relevant answer to and even the means to verify your assertion. You're dodging the (obvious) probable answer to your question regarding who would have the highest percentage of trying to colonize people, europeans or the chinese. Since you didn't like the probable answer to your own query when using the methodology which I provided you, you instead tried to shift the goalposts and throw out this argument instead:
Did the Europeans conquer and colonize every single people they found?
Regardless of whether or not this claim is true, its clear that you simply didnt want to accept the answer that your original question would have yielded.
Again, the Chinese were never in the European position of having such a strong technological advantage over the people they encountered.
Why do you claim this? Did you even bother researching your point before writing it? I think you should catch up on your knowledge of history. Just FYI the ming dynasty treasure voyages happened in the first part of the 15th century to give you a solid reference point, below I have provided some links detailing the history of gunpowder weapons during the ming dynasty:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gunpowder_weapons_in_the_Ming_dynasty#Early_Ming_period
The Mings didn’t even have handheld firearms during Zheng’s voyages
A precise date was not provided for this development however we know that it happened sometime during the 14th century since the hongwu emperor lived from 21 October 1328 – 24 June 1398.It appears that what you're claiming was blatantly wrong. The ming dynasty did indeed have handheld firearm technology during the time of zheng he's voyages. In fact the worlds oldest confirmed surviving handgun is the Heilongjiang hand cannon which dates back to the late 13th century.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heilongjiang_hand_cannonWhy dont you bother researching stuff before making claims about it?
The Hongwu Emperor created a Bureau of Armaments (軍器局) which was tasked with producing every three years 3,000 handheld bronze guns, 3,000 signal cannons, and ammunition as well as accoutrements such as ramrods. His Armory Bureau (兵仗局) was responsible for producing types of guns known as "great generals," "secondary generals," "tertiary generals," and "gate-seizing generals." Other firearms such as "miraculous [fire] lances," "miraculous guns," and "horse-beheading guns" were also produced. It is unclear what proportion or how many of each type were actually manufactured.[12]
I never claimed that the chinese didn't engage in colonialism of some sort. Why are you suggesting otherwise? And don't deny that you arent suggesting this because its very clear that you are. I always claimed that the chinese seemed much less interested in world domination than western europeans did (as opposed to regional domination), and secondly I claimed that chinese colonization is of a different nature than european style colonization.Regarding the "vietnam treatment", vietnam probably got a really cruel treatment just because they were presumably a thorn in china's side at various times over a period of 1500 years, but I dont know the history between the two countries deeply so I can't say for sure. I just know their mutual history is very long and very complicated. That being said, even when vietnam did get colonized the chinese still ended up leaving because they figured it wasn't worth their time:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fourth_Chinese_domination_of_Vietnam
But the Mings still engaged in colonization and forced their neighbors to submit to the vassal state system. What happened to the countries that rejected China’s sovereignty? Oh that’s right, they got the Vietnam treatment.
secondly and more importantly, china didn't always treat "colonized" countries like vietnam like you're claiming. Just look at what I wrote regarding how the chinese treated the kotte in the ming-kotte war earlier in this thread. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ming%E2%80%93Kotte_War
The Ming dynasty crushed Lê’s rebellion at first but court debates concluded that Vietnam was an unnecessary distraction and the Ming decided to withdraw their armies from Vietnam, long before the rebels started scoring any victories. When Lê offered to become a vassal of China, the Ming immediately declared him as ruler of Vietnam.[1] Le Loi then ascended the Vietnamese throne, taking the reign name Lê Thái Tổ and establishing the Lê dynasty (1428–1788).
So your point was not only offbase, but it was also incorrect too.
You’re implying that the chinese had to settle for the tributary system because they couldn’t outright colonize people, but if this is the case then why didnt they colonize the kotte? They had already destroyed their army, invaded the capital and took the king and the royal family captive; colonizing the place would have been a fait accompli, yet the chinese didnt bother colonizing them and on the contrary they even ended up repatriating the offending king, his family and his officials.

Except you have to take into consideration the totality of technological advancement, not just whether or not they had cannons.
https://www.somalispot.com/threads/ancient-somali-weaponry.3987/^ traditional somalian weaponsThe somalians were just beginning to realize the utility of firearms during the 16th century, meanwhile the chinese already had handgun technology going back to the late 13th century. If it took the somalians until the 16th century to realize the utility of firearms then how much less advanced do you think they were a full century before that? If they weren't using firearms then what were they using? Probably swords and bows and arrows, just like everyone else. Just to remind you, handgun technology already existed during the period of zheng he's voyages.
Some scholars also argue that this conflict proved, through their use on both sides, the value of firearms such as the matchlock musket, cannons and the arquebus over traditional weapons.[13]
Your own words indict you. From the very getgo I was upfront about what I was claiming to prove (superior weapons). I never made any claim about superiority when it came to armor. Therefore you claiming that I didn't succeed in proving what I claimed is blatantly false since I never made that particular claim in the first place. So not only were you wrong about that, you're also wrong about this as well
I didn’t say you were trying to claim something else, just that you didn’t succeed in proving what you claimed.
You're still trying to move goalposts, you do this everytime I prove the original iteration of one of your points wrong. Its really funny looking at the evolution of your points:
True, but in the end, Kotte was subservient to China. I doubt the conquistadors could have established the same kind of control over the New World using similar methods, especially since it was so far away.
So basically according to you the chinese had to settle for a tributary system because they were too weak to colonize people but then when I pointed out the flaws in your reasoning you decided to try to go with the claim that the chinese installed a puppet instead and then finally you're now trying to go with the claim that the conquistadors couldn't have used a similar method since it was so far away. Isn't it funny how you keep having to change your arguments?Also you're comparing apples and oranges. The ming dynasty never tried to colonize kotte, therefore they never needed to establish absolute control over the kotte like the conquistadors had to do with their subjects. Kotte's subserviency to china was true in basically the mildest sense possible. All the chinese did was install a friendly ruler there, which is not necessarily the same as installing a puppet. This can be seen in this paragraph:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ming%E2%80%93Kotte_WarTrue, but in the end, Kotte was subservient to China. I doubt the conquistadors could have established the same kind of control over the New World using similar methods, especially since it was so far away.Installing a “puppet” and leaving the place isnt the same as colonizing a place in the manner that europeans did. Why do you continue to be disingenuous? Its obviously because you make weak and unfounded arguments which I disprove, afterwards you have to resort to stretching your arguments and moving goalposts.They installed a puppet. “As documented in Chinese records, Parakramabahu VI was elected by the Sinhalese present at the Ming court, nominated by the Ming emperor, and installed by Admiral Zheng He with the backing of his fleet.”
You’re implying that the chinese had to settle for the tributary system because they couldn’t outright colonize people, but if this is the case then why didnt they colonize the kotte?
Installing a "puppet" implies that the chinese were interested in telling the kotte kingdom what to do and how run their society, but the chinese didn't want this. They only wanted a friendly ruler in the area. If you want proof of this then just read the history of the kotte kingdom yourself:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kingdom_of_Kottethere's hardly any mention at all of the ming dynasty. The chinese didn't radically change the kotte society or culture, they didnt enslave anyone, displace or colonize the area. They pretty much installed a friendly ruler and then left; this can be seen by how little direct impact the ming dynasty had on the history of the kotte kingdom. Keep in mind that they did all this even though they had the ability to completely dominate the kotte kingdom. Therefore your original point was off the mark, the chinese and the spanish were trying to do two fundamentally different things, the chinese never sought to dominate the kotte kingdom in the first place.Replies: @FvS
The Chinese were allied with Parakramabahu VI and dethroned Alakeshvara in favor of him.[9][10] The Yongle Emperor had requested from the Ministry of Rites to recommend someone to serve as the new king of Kotte.[3] As documented in Chinese records, Parakramabahu VI was elected by the Sinhalese present at the Ming court, nominated by the Ming emperor, and installed by Admiral Zheng He with the backing of his fleet.[10] By the time the Chinese embassy arrived, the previous Sinhalese dynasty had re-established themselves in Kotte.[3] With Parakramavahu VI as the ruler in Ceylon, both economic and diplomatic relations between China and Ceylon was improved.[9] From then on, the Chinese treasure fleet would experience no hostilities during visits to Ceylon on subsequent voyages.[3]
I never did though. This is a misconception that you have created yourself, its not based on something I actually said. Here is what I originally wrote:
Then stop pretending whites are somehow unique in this way.
First of all, I specified that western europeans are mostly guilty of trying to dominate the entire world so not all whites. Secondly, I never said that whites are the only ones who engage in this behavior. I only claimed that they appear to demonstrate a much higher inclination and tendency to want to dominate and ruler over others. Saying that they demonstrate a much higher inclination and tendency to want to dominate and rule over others is not the same as saying that only whites want to dominate and rule over others. You do understand the difference here right? Mongolians also appear to demonstrate a much higher inclination and tendency to want to dominate and rule over others as well but I didn't mention them because they werent relevant to the original point, which was me claiming that white nationalists are hypocrites for criticizing jews for wanting world domination when whites have been more historically guilty of this. Do you understand this now? I was only talking about whites because whites and jews were the only races that were relevant to my original point.
We’ve had over five centuries to observe the behavior of whites, it appears that western europeans (so not necessarily all whites, which is a clumsy term in this context) demonstrate a much higher inclination and tendency to want to dominate and rule over others.
your intense sense of white victimhood renders you unable to understand arguments. Think carefully about what I wrote:
Your original assertion was that the the only race that actually desired to dominate the entire world and succeeded in doing so was whites. However, only a few whites countries engaged in “world domination.” When they had the power to, Mongolians engaged in a campaign for world domination. Japan engaged in imperialism during WWII. Therefore, your original claim of whites being the only race to try and dominate the entire world is false.
I didn't say that whites were the only race that desired to dominate the entire world, what I wrote was a two part conditional statement. I clearly stated that the only race that actually desired to dominate the entire world AND succeeded in doing so was whites. You completely misunderstood the point. You incorrectly thought I was trying to claim that whites were the only race that desired to dominate the world when actually I was saying something significantly different. Therefore your point about the mongolians and the japanese falls flat since I never claimed that whites were the only ones who wanted to dominate the world in the first place.
the only race that actually desired to dominate the entire world and succeeded in doing so was whites
Uh...yeah it was. I clarified what "whites" I was talking about as early as my third response to you in comment #177:
By this point we had already established that we were talking about European countries with world spanning colonies. That wasn’t the case early on.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
We’ve had over five centuries to observe the behavior of whites, it appears that western europeans (so not necessarily all whites, which is a clumsy term in this context) demonstrate a much higher inclination and tendency to want to dominate and rule over others. If you can’t trust over 500 years of observation regarding a specific racial group then what can you trust?
No need for me to write out a new response since my old response is still correct. As i've demonstrated over and over again, you keep backpedaling and trying to throw out new arguments/moving goal posts whenever I disprove one of your points.
You never refuted my claim, and you basically ignored the sentence immediately after it. It was obvious I was talking about a certain degree of technological advantage. As for the other points I brought up, I see you have no argument against them.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Funny how before I provided evidence to refute your claim that there was no technological gap between the chinese and the indigenous people they met you were very adamant about suggesting that european success in colonizing the new world was attributed solely to their superior weapons and armor, yet now that i’ve invalidated your original claim you suddenly want to bring up other factors which helped europeans succeed in colonizing the new world. You never previously brought up these factors before in spite of us discussing this topic back and forth over multiple comments, yet ironically you only brought them up once it became apparent that your original point (there being no technological gap between the chinese and the indigenous they encountered) was proven false. Once again, you were proven wrong and you’re basically attempting a variation of moving the goalposts by trying to push through new arguments once you discovered that your original argument was definitively disproven.
No actually I do. My claim was always that western europeans demonstrate a much higher inclination and tendency to want to dominate and rule over others, therefore your arguments about what enabled the spanish to actually be successful in colonizing the new world is irrelevant since I was always talking about inclination, tendencies and intent from the very beginning. Do you understand this? it doesnt matter that the spanish were actually successful in dominating the new world, what matters is that they displayed a greater tendency to want to dominate and rule over others in the first place.
As for the other points I brought up, I see you have no argument against them.
Youre missing the point and getting caught up in semantics. I didn't literally mean that world domination is "justified". What I meant is very obvious from my quote, its not my fault that you don't understand it:
Strawman. For the umpteenth time, pointing out that everyone engages in a certain behavior, doesn’t mean you think that behavior is justified. And I said that Jews are uniquely bad since they have a religion and core racial/ethnic identity based upon Jewish supremacy. No other people has this, including whites. And because whites don’t have this, we were able to change our beliefs about colonization, slavery, world domination, etc. Jews, however, are the primary instigators of white genocide that is happening right now. You haven’t even attempted to refute any of this.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Neither of these claims can exist simultaneously, they are mutually exclusive. In this case, Claim #1 supercedes claim #2 because claim #1 is the claim with which you originally exonerated white unique guilt over world domination with (and therefore we must apply it to all other races as well). Therefore claim #1 is able to take precedence over claim #2 because claim #1 implies all forms of world domination are justified according to ability/opportunity while making no mention of beliefs or intent mattering.
ok, lets say that there was some random tribe in the middle of nowhere that was weak and small in numbers BUT they had a religion and core racial/ethnic identity based upon the supremacy of their race; according to you they would be uniquely bad in spite of being objectively powerless. According to your reasoning which you have used over and over again to condemn jews as being uniquely bad, this small, insignificant tribe would be considered worse than western europeans who have actually practiced racial supremacy and actually dominated the entire world. Do you see how silly your reasoning is now?Anyways, your original logic is still incorrect. My entire chunk of logic disproves your original claims. Its telling that you never actually tried to disprove it, instead you just repeated your point again like you have been even though im clearly showing you why your logic is incorrect.
And I said that Jews are uniquely bad since they have a religion and core racial/ethnic identity based upon Jewish supremacy. No other people has this, including whites.
Your logic regarding the jews doesn't make sense and it contradicts itself with your logic regarding whites as I pointed out earlier.
Your point regarding the jews and their beliefs is still incorrect. Your logic was flawed here and continues to be flawed. My original refutation was of this point was correct, in all of its iterations. To simplify this, you are basically making two claims here when we apply your (dual) lines of reasoning to the jews:1.Jews are not bad for world domination since any other race would do so if they had the ability to2.Jews are bad for world domination (because they have a creed which supports world domination)Neither of these claims can exist simultaneously, they are mutually exclusive. In this case, Claim #1 supercedes claim #2 because claim #1 is the claim with which you originally exonerated white unique guilt over world domination with (and therefore we must apply it to all other races as well). Therefore claim #1 is able to take precedence over claim #2 because claim #1 implies all forms of world domination are justified according to ability/opportunity while making no mention of beliefs or intent mattering.
why continue to spout this falsehood when even you yourself concede this point right after?
And because whites don’t have this, we were able to change our beliefs about colonization, slavery, world domination, etc.
jews were instrumental in reeducating the west about colonization, slavery, world domination, etc; the west didn't do this by themselves like you're implying.
It was hardly altruistic though. It was so that Jews would have fewer rivals, and so the path could be paved for white genocide.
I never claimed that jews weren't the primary instigators of "white genocide". So why are you asking me to refute something which I never claimed?
Jews, however, are the primary instigators of white genocide that is happening right now. You haven’t even attempted to refute any of this.
Whatever their motives for doing it doesnt matter; factually speaking jews played a large role in helping whites to shed white supremacy and pro-colonialist thinking. You wanted to claim that whites changed themselves when actually it was jews who helped whites to change, therefore you were incorrect on this point, the actual motives of the jews are irrelevant to this point.
It was hardly altruistic though. It was so that Jews would have fewer rivals, and so the path could be paved for white genocide.
once again, I never claimed this. Its pointless for you to keep trying to use this against me. This was what I originally wrote:
Find me one white nationalist that supports the return of colonialism. You still haven’t done this.
most white advocates ive encountered make endless rationalizations for colonization instead of arguing against it and just admitting it was wrong, including you. There are maybe like 0.05% of white advocates who will admit that european colonization was morally wrong, the rest will make flimsy apologetic arguments for it or will even be proud of it. Just FYI, im an old hand on the alt-right, ive been in this corner of the internet for over a decade now so I know what im talking about. I’ve had plenty of exposure to white advocates to know exactly how they feel and what kind of beliefs they hold, everything you’re saying is blatantly false.
this is a lie, I never claimed that. Thats what you claimed I was claiming. CTRL+F the word "support" and see if you can find where I claimed that white nationalists support colonization still. Do that and then post the quote where I claimed this. The only thing I claimed was that white nationalists still make excuses for colonization, see above.Replies: @FvS
See above. And you’re the one that made the claim that many white nationalists support colonization still.
I dont recall doing this. Show specific posts where I did this.
All your posts were about the sins of whites while making excuses for or even ignoring what other races have done.
ill read this when I get time. You do realize btw that one opinion piece != absolute truth right? This is a very big issue, but I don't deny that there is the possibility that china could be engaging in neo-colonialism as well. Like I said, im going to refrain from having a solid opinion either way until I do more research on the matter
I’ll post it again. Obviously, the Chinese are going to have to be careful in the modern era in order not to arouse international suspicions.
https://www.panafricanalliance.com/china-africa-colonialism/
nah you were pretty clearly implying it.Didn’t say it was, but it’s not good either.
secondly, neo-colonialism != european style colonization
why try to claim otherwise?
It wouldn’t surprise me one bit coming from these people. Do you support Chinese neocolonialism in Africa or not? Let’s see if you’re a hypocrite.
Except...xinjiang and tibet are both chinese territory, china is not traveling halfway across the world to colonize them. Therefore right off the bat your point is incorrect since you were trying to make a case for china doing global colonization and not just regional colonization (which was never a point of contention to begin with). See what I wrote here:
Uyghurs and Tibet, both happening in modern times so there’s less of an excuse for it.
What china is supposedly doing in xinjiang and tibet is different than china randomly showing up at some random country and then invading and colonizing them. Secondly and more importantly is the fact that the CIA is actively working to destablize xinjiang and tibet, surely you were aware of this? https://www.unz.com/article/seeking-truth-from-pisa-facts/#comment-3603734read comment #191Lots of what people are saying about what china is doing in tibet and xinjiang are lies; notice that I said "lots", not "all". I am totally open to the possibility that china may be acting immorally in xinjiang and tibet, but I also recognize that the US is working to destabilize these regions and also to run bad PR against china as well. For this reason its hard to say what is really going on there. I can say this, if china was really trying to aggressively colonize and genocide the uyghurs and tibetans then why isnt it also doing this to the other 55 minority groups in china as well? Isn't it a funny coincidence that the only places that china is supposedly colonizing are also the two places that have been targeted the most by the US for its destabilization efforts? Its quite likely that china wouldnt even have to act this way in xinjiang and tibet if it wasnt for the US trying to interfere and destabilize the area. Oh and just FYI you already fell for propaganda with the picture of the african kids you posted earlier. You do know that that fake picture that you sent was originally attributed to an out of context video that an anti-chinese uyghur nationalist posted right? Check it out yourself:https://twitter.com/parlabest/status/1197629283860131840?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1197629283860131840&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.unz.com%2Farticle%2Fan-introspective-of-white-ethnocentrism%2F
Just to be absolutely clear on this; if china ever begins invading the world and acts exactly in the same manner as european colonizers did then I will have no problem condemning the chinese. Due to your WN blinkers you are under the impression that im hypocritical and “anti-white” but the truth is that im interested in being fair and non-biased as possible. Colonialism is colonialism, it doesnt matter who does it, its immoral.
If some uyghur people are posting blatant falsehoods like this, what else are they lying about? How do you know that everything you've been told about this situation is true? Once again, im not claiming that the chinese are totally innocent in this case, I have no way of knowing. Im simply making the case that there is a ton of disinformation out there which even you yourself accidentally repeated.

@parlabest
Uyghur Canadian. ENEMY OF CHINA
you're quite racist against jews, whats the point?
To show you why the kids singing Chinese nationalist songs didn’t arouse suspicion in me. That and the Chinese are quite racist towards Africans.
You seem to care more about it than I do, so go look for it yourself. I only have 125 comments and I discuss this particular topic quite frequently so it shouldnt be hard for you to find a comment where im having discussions about colonization with white nationalists.
Why don’t you post some highlights. And if they think colonialism was justified, they would likely support its return. Find me a white nationalist who does.
The two are not mutually exclusive concepts. Its entirely possible that its a deliberate campaign, however mass immigration and multiculturalism in the west would not be possible without a complimentary global geopolitical framework in the first place, which was incidentally built up by western europeans for over five centuries.
It’s a deliberate campaign, and colonialism is just one of many justifications used as excuse for white genocide.
So...murdering someone you have mutual bad blood with and then murdering an innocent stranger are both equally wrong then?Haha, okay….
Murdering someone you have a complicated history with and murdering a complete stranger are both wrong, but I think that murdering a complete stranger is more wrong.
Or maybe they weren't really that interested in "domination" to begin with:
That’s because they struggled enough with regional domination.
Once again, you are completely wrong. Like I said, the chinese simply have different priorities than western europeans.
The Ming dynasty crushed Lê’s rebellion at first but court debates concluded that Vietnam was an unnecessary distraction and the Ming decided to withdraw their armies from Vietnam, long before the rebels started scoring any victories. When Lê offered to become a vassal of China, the Ming immediately declared him as ruler of Vietnam.[1] Le Loi then ascended the Vietnamese throne, taking the reign name Lê Thái Tổ and establishing the Lê dynasty (1428–1788).
The chinese got what they wanted in a significantly more humane way than how european colonizers acted, which was the entire point. Moreover, their essential priorities were different than the european colonists from the very beginning. You're just mad because the chinese did not act sufficiently violent like european colonists did.
The Chinese got what they wanted, a vassal state. What would be the point of colonizing it after that? Did they have an abundance of natural resources like gold, silver, or diamonds?
I never claimed that they weren't.
As for Mao, that was just to show that the Chinese are not some kind of enlightened people incapable of mass murder.
not really, Im very consistent in my arguments and support them with irrefutable logic and examplesReplies: @Jeff Stryker, @FvSIronic.
I tire of debating with someone that continually argues in bad faith and uses poor arguments.
Nobody ever claimed otherwise
It’s possible, but all races engaged in wars of conquest. This cannot be disputed.
Except you didnt claim that the degree of technological advantage that the chinese had over the indigenous people as being important during your last comment, in fact you didnt mention anything about it at all. Your primary claim was that there was no technological gap between the chinese and the indigenous people they met, which turned out to be wrong. Once again, you are grasping at straws and trying to move goalposts again
The Chinese did plenty of exploring as you pointed out. But the Chinese never had the same level of technological advantage that the Europeans had over the people they fought. For example, on Chinese horses…
Yet I still clarified my stance therefore your original point below was invalidated because I had proved that I was being consistent with my logic from nearly the beginning:
Multiple times you’ve assigned collective guilt to all whites. Once, you mentioned Western Europeans in passing.
Your claim that ive assigned collective guilt to all whites multiple times is additive; its basically another form of trying to move the goal posts. You were proved wrong in your original assertion that I quoted above and now you're trying to find other ways to claim that im at fault. Just FYI you are guilty of a very similar thing that you claimed I was doing by not being specific enough when referencing whites:
One final point, you are using one nation at a particular time in their history as evidence for all Asians. If the existence of the Ming Dynasty means the Mongolian Empire never happened, then I guess the existence of all those European countries that never had colonies means the ones that did don’t count against us.
Yes, “firearms.” Europeans had the better cannons and handheld firearms.
Maybe he could have beaten the fleet, but did he have the technological superiority to capture the entire sultanate? Also, there was a sizable Chinese population there which may have influenced things. Did the Europeans conquer and colonize every single people they found?
In your last response you used the term european three times, yet european is just as wide ranging and non-descriptive as "whites". Which european? Western european? Central european? Eastern european? etc etc. You forfeit the right to criticize me for not being specific enough when referring to whites when you can't even do the same.My original point still stands since your refutation of it is still invalid

Also, the Spanish conquest of the New World was really a fluke. Cortes only succeeded from a combination of technology, military strategy, disease, and the fact that a lot of other tribes helped them because they were sick of Mexica tyranny. I also want to point out something that was unique to Europeans, had nothing to do with race, but ended up influencing colonial ambitions…Christianity.
Your point regarding the jews and their beliefs is still incorrect. Your logic was flawed here and continues to be flawed. My original refutation was of this point was correct, in all of its iterations.

It turns out that our actions are shaped by our beliefs. Why I need to point out such a simple point to you is beyond me. Whites do not engage in colonialism any more because we have changed our beliefs about colonialism. Whites do not have any sort of guiding religious document or common racial identity centered around white supremacy. Jews do. Why is this so hard for you to understand lol.
You are sidestepping my original point though. I claimed the following:
White supremacy is not the opposite of racial egalitarianism. Race realism is. Virtually no race realists are white supremacists. White nationalism is not white supremacy. And even if Jews played the pivotal role in ending colonialism (which has not been proven), I would never thank them because they are actively working to destroy my people.
You never addressed this, you merely wrote back with a rebuttal about white nationalism not being white supremacy. (see bolded parts) Whether this is true or not is immaterial, the fact is that you didn't address my original claim at all. To your credit, you did partially address my point regarding jews helping to reeducate the west about pro-colonialism.
Whites didnt change by themselves like you’re suggesting though. Jews were responsible for helping whites to shed white supremacy. You mention this yourself in a later comment:
How would you prove this? My own personal experience contradicts this; I would estimate that at minimum, approximately 30% of (white) race realists I have encountered on the internet are white supremacists. That's just a conservative estimate, a more liberal estimate would probably go as high as 60-70%. The problem is, there are a lot of race realists who aren't clued in yet and embrace white supremacy ideology because they haven't realize that it makes them look bad yet, or maybe they just dont care, I dont know. More importantly is the fact that we need a clear definition on what constitutes white supremacy. For me I consider white supremacy ideology as someone who thinks that whites are superior. That's a very simple and concise definition that is supported by the self-evident nature of the nomenclature "white supremacy". Perhaps you are using some other definition? Regardless, you made the claim that virtually no race realists are white supremacists; therefore you need to both define what you consider a "white supremacist" and then you need to either be able to back up this claim or admit that you can't. The burden of proof lies on youReplies: @FvS, @Monotonous Languor

Once again, you were proven wrong and you’re basically attempting a variation of moving the goalposts by trying to push through new arguments once you discovered that your original argument was definitively disproven.
You never refuted my claim, and you basically ignored the sentence immediately after it. It was obvious I was talking about a certain degree of technological advantage. As for the other points I brought up, I see you have no argument against them.
1.Jews are not bad for world domination since any other race would do so if they had the ability to
Strawman. For the umpteenth time, pointing out that everyone engages in a certain behavior, doesn’t mean you think that behavior is justified. And I said that Jews are uniquely bad since they have a religion and core racial/ethnic identity based upon Jewish supremacy. No other people has this, including whites. And because whites don’t have this, we were able to change our beliefs about colonization, slavery, world domination, etc. Jews, however, are the primary instigators of white genocide that is happening right now. You haven’t even attempted to refute any of this.
Whites didnt change by themselves like you’re suggesting though. Jews were responsible for helping whites to shed white supremacy.
It was hardly altruistic though. It was so that Jews would have fewer rivals, and so the path could be paved for white genocide.
How would you prove this? My own personal experience contradicts this; I would estimate that at minimum, approximately 30% of (white) race realists I have encountered on the internet are white supremacists. That’s just a conservative estimate, a more liberal estimate would probably go as high as 60-70%.
Find me one white nationalist that supports the return of colonialism. You still haven’t done this.
More importantly is the fact that we need a clear definition on what constitutes white supremacy. For me I consider white supremacy ideology as someone who thinks that whites are superior. That’s a very simple and concise definition that is supported by the self-evident nature of the nomenclature “white supremacy”. Perhaps you are using some other definition?
White supremacy or white supremacism is the racist belief that white people are superior to people of other races and therefore should be dominant over them.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/White_supremacy
Regardless, you made the claim that virtually no race realists are white supremacists; therefore you need to both define what you consider a “white supremacist” and then you need to either be able to back up this claim or admit that you can’t. The burden of proof lies on you
See above. And you’re the one that made the claim that many white nationalists support colonization still.
Except that's not what we were talking about. Why falsify the original context of the conversation when I can so easily reference what was previously said? Below is the original conversation:
Yes, “firearms.” Europeans had the better cannons and handheld firearms.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gunpowder_weapons_in_the_Ming_dynasty#Matchlocks
You made two claims: 1.Indigenous people weren't technologically inferior to the chinese2.europeans had an advantage over the indigenous people they encountered by having better armor and weapons and the chinese did not have these advantages.I demonstrated with numerous examples that in terms of weapons technology (and not even including other kinds of technology like naval technology for example) the chinese had an advantage by having access to firearm technology at this time. Therefore this disproves point #1 and partially disproves point #2 (I didn't bother to look up whether or not the chinese had an armor advantage.). Anyways your point is null because you were originally claiming that there was no technology gap period between the chinese and the indigenous people they encountered, in fact you were very confident about this. You never stated that the degree of technological advancement was important in your last response. You're only including this now because your original claim was proven wrong. You should stop moving the goal posts, ive noticed you like doing this a lot. People that employ the fallacy of moving the goal post usually have a weak argument which is why they employ that fallacy in the first place. Moving forward im going to point out every time you use this fallacy.That’s because they weren’t technologically inferior. The Chinese never had the same technological advantages that the Europeans had. Europeans had better armor and weapons.
The ming treasure voyages often encountered technologically inferior indigenous people during the course of their journeys yet they didn’t attempt to conquer and colonize them like the europeans did.
No haha. The above link would have claimed that the portuguese won because they had better
Or that the Kotte had inferior firearms to the Portuguese.
If you want more proof that the portuguese had firearms and the kotte didnt then you can look at this page, the pertinent information is at the bottom of the page.https://books.google.com/books?id=HDODAgAAQBAJ&pg=PA107&lpg=PA107&dq=kotte+kingdom,+firearms&source=bl&ots=2nj77hYicC&sig=ACfU3U2dBR2fVfiM-IJ9lFawz6F_jwuB5g&hl=en&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwio5r_I9qDnAhVbPn0KHbP4Aa4Q6AEwEXoECAkQAQ#v=onepage&q=kotte%20kingdom%2C%20firearms&f=falsetherefore regarding the kotte possibly having inferior firearms, you are definitely wrong there.
To carry out their goals, the Portuguese did not seek territorial conquest, which would have been difficult given their small numbers. Instead, they tried to dominate strategic points through which trade passed. By virtue of their supremacy on the seas, their knowledge of firearms, and by what has been called their "desperate soldiering" on land, the Portuguese gained an influence in South Asia that was far out of proportion to their numerical strength.
the malacca sultanate was relatively small at this time, hence the usage of the word "budding" in my previous comment. I dont have exact figures but this quote gives you a pretty good idea of approximately how developed the sultanate would have been by the time zheng he's fleet visited it:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Malacca_Sultanate
Maybe he could have beaten the fleet, but did he have the technological superiority to capture the entire sultanate?
I doubt a place that was a fishing village in the 1370s would become a reasonably advanced military power by 1405, possible but unlikely.Also you asking this question:
Parameswara (also known as "Iskandar Shah" in some accounts) fled north to Muar, Ujong Tanah and Biawak Busuk before reaching a fishing village at the mouth of Bertam river (modern-day Malacca River). The village belonged to the sea-sakai or orang laut which were left alone by Majapahit forces that not only sacked Singapura but also Langkasuka and Pasai. As a result, the village became a safe haven and in the 1370s it began to receive a growing number of refugees running away from Mahapahit's attacks. By the time Parameswara reached Malacca in the early 1400s, the place already had a cosmopolitan feel with Buddhists from the north, Hindus from Palembang and Muslims from Pasai.[15]
Is another example of you trying to move the goal posts. Your original claim (which you were very confident in) was that there was no technological gap between the chinese and the indigenous people they encountered at the time, you made no mention about the degree of technological superiority mattering.
but did he have the technological superiority to capture the entire sultanate?
Was there a sizable chinese population there at this point in time of the malacca sultanate (zheng he visited in 1405)? May I ask where you got this information from? I'm doubtful of your claim but im open to the possibility that your claim is correct. Please provide a source
Also, there was a sizable Chinese population there which may have influenced things.
What's more useful is to tally up the total number of overseas cultures that europeans found and then calculate what percentage of them the europeans conquered and colonized. Likewise we would have to do that for the chinese as well. That would give you a more precise answer for the point that you're trying to make. I theorize that europeans would have a significantly higher rate of conquering and colonizing (european style colonizing of course) people they found than the chinese would have. That being said, you are once again trying to move the goal posts. You're obviously pretty upset that the chinese had not acted similarly enough to european colonizers as you were hoping they would have.
Did the Europeans conquer and colonize every single people they found?
But you original claim was as follows:
In this case, the Somalians were technologically inferior when it came to firearms, but that doesn’t mean Zheng had the strength to take them.
However even you now concede that the somalis were technologically inferior in some regards, ergo your original claim was wrong. Whether or not zheng he's fleet had the strength to take them was never part of your original comment, you only made the two following claims: 1.Indigenous people weren't technologically inferior to the chinese2.europeans had an advantage over the indigenous people they encountered by having better armor and weapons and the chinese did not have these advantages.Therefore by saying:
That’s because they weren’t technologically inferior. The Chinese never had the same technological advantages that the Europeans had. Europeans had better armor and weapons.
You are once again trying to move the goalposts with regards to your original statement
but that doesn’t mean Zheng had the strength to take them.
I was always clear about the limitations of my claim, therefore its disingenuous for you to act like I was ever trying to claim anything else.
I said armor and weaponry. But you only succeeded in proving the Somalians were inferior in terms of firearms and didn’t prove anything about the others. You have more work to do.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
These are just three examples where zheng he’s fleet encountered cultures which did not yet have firearm technology and hence were technologically inferior in terms of weapons. You wanted to claim that the foreign cultures that zheng he’s fleet encountered weren’t technologically inferior (in terms of weaponry) but it turns out that many were. Your point in invalidated, why didnt you do any research before making your unsubstantiated claim?
Installing a "puppet" and leaving the place isnt the same as colonizing a place in the manner that europeans did. Why do you continue to be disingenuous? Its obviously because you make weak and unfounded arguments which I disprove, afterwards you have to resort to stretching your arguments and moving goalposts.Replies: @Jeff Stryker, @FvS
They installed a puppet. “As documented in Chinese records, Parakramabahu VI was elected by the Sinhalese present at the Ming court, nominated by the Ming emperor, and installed by Admiral Zheng He with the backing of his fleet.”
You never stated that the degree of technological advancement was important in your last response.
Except I wrote, “the Chinese never had the same technological advantages that the Europeans had.” When I said that they weren’t technologically inferior, I thought it was obvious we were talking about to the same extent as the Europeans and the Amerindians.
If you want more proof that the portuguese had firearms and the kotte didnt then you can look at this page, the pertinent information is at the bottom of the page.
It says nothing about the Kotte not having cannons. It just says that the Portuguese had an advantage because of their knowledge of firearms, and they were probably talking about handheld firearms.
Your original claim (which you were very confident in) was that there was no technological gap between the chinese and the indigenous people they encountered at the time, you made no mention about the degree of technological superiority mattering.
Wrong (see above), and we don’t know the technological advancement of the Malacca Sultanate when Zheng visited. It makes you wonder though what would have happened had Parameswara rejected the Ming offer of essentially becoming a vassal state. The Malaccan envoy replied that the “king (Parameswara) is admiring and willing to pay annual tribute, please grant the “hill” as the city of the kingdom.” The emperor agreed, and granted the inscription of imperial poetry embellished onto stone tablet to the “hill” (where hill means Malacca).
Was there a sizable chinese population there at this point in time of the malacca sultanate (zheng he visited in 1405)? May I ask where you got this information from? I’m doubtful of your claim but im open to the possibility that your claim is correct. Please provide a source
I thought I read it, but maybe it was the wrong time period.

You’re obviously pretty upset that the chinese had not acted similarly enough to european colonizers as you were hoping they would have.
Again, the Chinese were never in the European position of having such a strong technological advantage over the people they encountered. The Mings didn’t even have handheld firearms during Zheng’s voyages. But the Mings still engaged in colonization and forced their neighbors to submit to the vassal state system. What happened to the countries that rejected China’s sovereignty? Oh that’s right, they got the Vietnam treatment.
However even you now concede that the somalis were technologically inferior in some regards, ergo your original claim was wrong.
Except you have to take into consideration the totality of technological advancement, not just whether or not they had cannons.
I was always clear about the limitations of my claim, therefore its disingenuous for you to act like I was ever trying to claim anything else.
I didn’t say you were trying to claim something else, just that you didn’t succeed in proving what you claimed.
Installing a “puppet” and leaving the place isnt the same as colonizing a place in the manner that europeans did.
True, but in the end, Kotte was subservient to China. I doubt the conquistadors could have established the same kind of control over the New World using similar methods, especially since it was so far away.

Actually the history between china and vietnam is really complicated and stretches out for over 1500 years. China's colonization of vietnam during this period is significantly different in tone than europeans randomly showing up one day and colonizing indigenous people that they had never met before in some country on the other side of the world. Basically with regards to the lam son uprising, there were events preceding this, and events preceding the events that preceded this and so on so forth. Its an oversimplification and patently untrue to act as if the chinese colonizing vietnam was equivalent to western europeans conquering the new world.

What’s worse, colonialism or wars of conquest and mass slaughter? No race is innocent, and at least Europeans left some decent infrastructure in their former colonies. Here are some goodies from our benevolent Mings.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ming-Kotte_War
Straight-away, their dens and hideouts we ravaged,
And made captive that entire country,
Bringing back to our august capital,
Their women, children, families and retainers, leaving not one,
Cleaning out in a single sweep those noxious pests, as if winnowing chaff from grain…
These insignificant worms, deserving to die ten thousand times over, trembling in fear…
Did not even merit the punishment of Heaven.
Thus the august emperor spared their lives,
And they humbly kowtowed, making crude sounds and
Praising the sage-like virtue of the imperial Ming ruler.

Right, it’s “complicated” lmao. As long as you colonize a neighbor, it’s all good.
The Ming government began a harsh rule of both colonization and sinicization. Valuable artifacts such as gems, jade, gold, pieces of art as well as craftsmen were transported to China. Vietnamese literature books like gazettes, maps, and registers were instructed to be burned, saved for one copy. Lê Lợi himself said that he chose the path of revolt against China’s brutal government when he personally witnessed the destruction of a Vietnamese village by Ming forces.

Nobody ever claimed otherwise
It’s possible, but all races engaged in wars of conquest. This cannot be disputed.
Except you didnt claim that the degree of technological advantage that the chinese had over the indigenous people as being important during your last comment, in fact you didnt mention anything about it at all. Your primary claim was that there was no technological gap between the chinese and the indigenous people they met, which turned out to be wrong. Once again, you are grasping at straws and trying to move goalposts again
The Chinese did plenty of exploring as you pointed out. But the Chinese never had the same level of technological advantage that the Europeans had over the people they fought. For example, on Chinese horses…
Yet I still clarified my stance therefore your original point below was invalidated because I had proved that I was being consistent with my logic from nearly the beginning:
Multiple times you’ve assigned collective guilt to all whites. Once, you mentioned Western Europeans in passing.
Your claim that ive assigned collective guilt to all whites multiple times is additive; its basically another form of trying to move the goal posts. You were proved wrong in your original assertion that I quoted above and now you're trying to find other ways to claim that im at fault. Just FYI you are guilty of a very similar thing that you claimed I was doing by not being specific enough when referencing whites:
One final point, you are using one nation at a particular time in their history as evidence for all Asians. If the existence of the Ming Dynasty means the Mongolian Empire never happened, then I guess the existence of all those European countries that never had colonies means the ones that did don’t count against us.

In your last response you used the term european three times, yet european is just as wide ranging and non-descriptive as "whites". Which european? Western european? Central european? Eastern european? etc etc. You forfeit the right to criticize me for not being specific enough when referring to whites when you can't even do the same.My original point still stands since your refutation of it is still invalid

Once again, you were proven wrong and you're basically attempting a variation of moving the goalposts by trying to push through new arguments once you discovered that your original argument was definitively disproven.
Also, the Spanish conquest of the New World was really a fluke. Cortes only succeeded from a combination of technology, military strategy, disease, and the fact that a lot of other tribes helped them because they were sick of Mexica tyranny. I also want to point out something that was unique to Europeans, had nothing to do with race, but ended up influencing colonial ambitions…Christianity.
Your point regarding the jews and their beliefs is still incorrect. Your logic was flawed here and continues to be flawed. My original refutation was of this point was correct, in all of its iterations. To simplify this, you are basically making two claims here when we apply your (dual) lines of reasoning to the jews:1.Jews are not bad for world domination since any other race would do so if they had the ability to2.Jews are bad for world domination (because they have a creed which supports world domination)Neither of these claims can exist simultaneously, they are mutually exclusive. In this case, Claim #1 supercedes claim #2 because claim #1 is the claim with which you originally exonerated white unique guilt over world domination with (and therefore we must apply it to all other races as well). Therefore claim #1 is able to take precedence over claim #2 because claim #1 implies all forms of world domination are justified according to ability/opportunity while making no mention of beliefs or intent mattering.
It turns out that our actions are shaped by our beliefs. Why I need to point out such a simple point to you is beyond me. Whites do not engage in colonialism any more because we have changed our beliefs about colonialism. Whites do not have any sort of guiding religious document or common racial identity centered around white supremacy. Jews do. Why is this so hard for you to understand lol.
You are sidestepping my original point though. I claimed the following:
White supremacy is not the opposite of racial egalitarianism. Race realism is. Virtually no race realists are white supremacists. White nationalism is not white supremacy. And even if Jews played the pivotal role in ending colonialism (which has not been proven), I would never thank them because they are actively working to destroy my people.
You never addressed this, you merely wrote back with a rebuttal about white nationalism not being white supremacy. (see bolded parts) Whether this is true or not is immaterial, the fact is that you didn't address my original claim at all. To your credit, you did partially address my point regarding jews helping to reeducate the west about pro-colonialism.
Whites didnt change by themselves like you’re suggesting though. Jews were responsible for helping whites to shed white supremacy. You mention this yourself in a later comment:
How would you prove this? My own personal experience contradicts this; I would estimate that at minimum, approximately 30% of (white) race realists I have encountered on the internet are white supremacists. That's just a conservative estimate, a more liberal estimate would probably go as high as 60-70%. The problem is, there are a lot of race realists who aren't clued in yet and embrace white supremacy ideology because they haven't realize that it makes them look bad yet, or maybe they just dont care, I dont know. More importantly is the fact that we need a clear definition on what constitutes white supremacy. For me I consider white supremacy ideology as someone who thinks that whites are superior. That's a very simple and concise definition that is supported by the self-evident nature of the nomenclature "white supremacy". Perhaps you are using some other definition? Regardless, you made the claim that virtually no race realists are white supremacists; therefore you need to both define what you consider a "white supremacist" and then you need to either be able to back up this claim or admit that you can't. The burden of proof lies on youReplies: @FvS, @Monotonous Languor
Virtually no race realists are white supremacists
what anti-white vitriol? provide quotations. This is the second time ive asked you to provide proof.
I thought it was implied from all your anti-white vitriol. But it’s good to know that you’re on our side after all.
You were still wrong about that picture lol. Regardless of how I answer your question it doesnt change that lol.first of all, its questionable about whether or not what is going on in africa is truly neo-colonialism or not. There are far too many attempts by the US to create disinformation regarding china's actions in africa. I tend to be mildly supportive of china's work in africa but I still retain objectivity and acknowledge that they could be acting immorally as well. I refuse to take a solid stance either for it or against it until I can spend more time actually reading and learning about the current situation over there. I think that this is a reasonable stance to take. secondly, neo-colonialism != european style colonizationWhen the chinese literally begin enslaving africans en masse, forcing them to follow chinese religion (lots of chinese are atheist but lets assume that they had one common religion), forcing them to speak chinese, destroying their indigenous culture, raping the women and genociding/displacing natives from their land then I will gladly speak out against the chinese. I know that you're going to try to pathetically find singular or small scale examples of things like this (if you can even find them) and use them as proof, but until they happen on a large scale like with what happened during european colonization then it won't constitute proof. Neo-colonialism is bad in its own right, but its not as bad as european style colonization.Just to be absolutely clear on this; if china ever begins invading the world and acts exactly in the same manner as european colonizers did then I will have no problem condemning the chinese. Due to your WN blinkers you are under the impression that im hypocritical and "anti-white" but the truth is that im interested in being fair and non-biased as possible. Colonialism is colonialism, it doesnt matter who does it, its immoral. Also, whats the point of posting these videos? You posting these videos doesn't "prove me wrong" since I never claimed that the chinese were perfect or blameless to begin with. I only suggested that the chinese appear to generally have a different outlook and/or more humanitarian style when it comes to colonial type situations. Its obvious to me though that you post stuff like this because you and I both know that your arguments themselves lack substance, as a result you have to resort to gimmicks like this.
It wouldn’t surprise me one bit coming from these people. Do you support Chinese neocolonialism in Africa or not? Let’s see if you’re a hypocrite.
except ive debated with lots of white nationalists on the internet who try to justify the west's history of colonization. Who should I believe, you or my own lying eyes? Look through my previous comments and the discussions ive had with people if you don't believe it. Just because you think in a certain way doesnt mean that all white nationalists share your way of thinking (hint, many of them dont)
There is a difference between making excuses for something, that said thing was justified, and stating the existence of silver linings.
I never imparted a sense of just or unjustness in this quote. You are so deranged with your white nationalist blinkers that you see malice where there is none. I observed that the west is facing the impersonal and accidental consequences of its prior actions. This observation is objectively true, its true regardless of whether or not there is an observer lending their own sense of subjective moral judgement to it.
The west is currently being devoured by mass immigration and multiculturalism; this is a direct result of europeans colonizing the entire world. So, do you think what’s happening to whites now is just or unjust considering your statement there?
Yes it is. As I said, globalism would not be possible in the first place without a preexisting global geopolitical foundation in place. Trade and immigration policy would become irrelevant if the world wasn't so strongly globally interconnected in the first place. This is a very simple point. Im not sure what you meant by including military might though
Globalism is not dependent on the legacy of colonialism. It’s just a matter of trade, immigration policy, and military might.
Firstly, you seem to be unaware of the events preceding the lam son uprising, which is not surprising btw.
Right, it’s “complicated” lmao. As long as you colonize a neighbor, it’s all good.
The lam son uprising began due to a faction within vietnam itself (the tran dynasty) asking for intervention from the emperor of the ming dynasty. Like I said, china and vietnam have a lot of history and a lot of events leading up to this, there were lots of reasons (justified and unjustified) that china acted in this way. Lets assume for arguments sake that china was completely unjustified and wrong in this situation; well china would still be less wrong than the european colonizers since the european colonizers literally colonized and antagonized people they had never even met before. Murdering someone you have a complicated history with and murdering a complete stranger are both wrong, but I think that murdering a complete stranger is more wrong. You might have a different opinion thoughYou should read this to get a better idea of the complexity involved in this situation. It's not as if the chinese one day woke up and decided to randomly invade vietnamhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fourth_Chinese_domination_of_VietnamAlso its ironic that you chose to mention this event because it actually supports what ive been saying about the chinese way of doing things all along:
This was a troubled time in Vietnam's history as the Hồ dynasty in 1400 finally displaced the Trần dynasty and set about reforming the kingdom. Hồ rule was short lived as members of the Trần dynasty petitioned for intervention from the Yongle Emperor of the Chinese Ming Empire to the north. He responded by sending a powerful army south into Vietnam and vanquished the Hồ. Under the pretext of failing to find a living Trần heir, the Ming government chose to re-establish sovereignty over Vietnam, as was the case in the days of the Tang dynasty, some 500 years prior.
The chinese have historically not cared that much about things outside of china and vietnam was no exception. The ming dynasty was winning but the government ultimately decided that the whole affair was an unnecessary distraction and they withdrew from vietnam. If the chinese were truly hungry for colonizing people then they would have stuck around and finished the job, but like ive said before, the chinese had different priorities than western europeans did.Secondly and more importantly is the fact that I never claimed that china has never colonized anybody. I merely made the claim that china seemed uninterested in world domination as opposed to regional domination and even then I think domination is a bit of a strong term. Therefore your point about the lam son uprising falls flat; it doesnt disprove anything ive said and it fits completely within the previous arguments and logic that I have laid out.
The Ming dynasty crushed Lê's rebellion at first but court debates concluded that Vietnam was an unnecessary distraction and the Ming decided to withdraw their armies from Vietnam, long before the rebels started scoring any victories. When Lê offered to become a vassal of China, the Ming immediately declared him as ruler of Vietnam.[1] Le Loi then ascended the Vietnamese throne, taking the reign name Lê Thái Tổ and establishing the Lê dynasty (1428–1788).
Dont forget the king, the ming dynasty also returned the disposed king to ceylon. You really didnt bother reading it even after I corrected you the first time did you? Also this event proves my point about the chinese being less interested in european style colonization than europeans. Obviously though you are trying to avoid this fact by making what they did sound worse than it was as well as studiously avoiding any comparisons with what european colonizers would have done in a similar situation. Oh and as for mao what are you specifically referring to? Mao had a couple of shitty policies that resulted in many deaths, but this is not the same as deliberately killing everybody in the same way that european colonizers might have done. In any case no matter how bad mao was, it doesn't disprove the fact that the ming forces treated the kotte kingdom significantly better than the european colonizers would have (judging by the way they treated other dominated peoples)im going to let you know ahead of time that ill probably let you have the last word on this. I tire of debating with someone that continually argues in bad faith and uses poor arguments. If I do respond at all then it will probably be delayed because frankly I have better things to do than to waste time picking apart your arguments and demonstrating your falsehoods and misdirections.Replies: @FvS
Yes, so humane to conquer them, install your puppet government, and spare the women and children instead of slaughtering everyone outright. Not that they are adverse to that kind of thing as Mao showed.
Your original criteria for exonerating white global domination was based only on actions and not beliefs:
I was referring to the height of colonialism. That was during a time period when wars of conquest, colonization, slavery, etc. were viewed quite differently than they are now. But because whites don’t have any sort guiding religious document preaching white supremacy, we were able to change. Jews have not changed and will never change because Jewish supremacy is part of their religion and core identity. They are unique in this regard.
You said nothing about beliefs mattering in the snippet of your logic that you used to exonerate white responsibility for dominating the entire world. You only tried to selectively add on this logic that beliefs matter afterwards. However in the interests of impartiality and fairness, we must apply the same logic with which you exonerated white responsibility for global domination to the jews as well, which supports my original point. You said:
All the other races would have done the same in our place, they just weren’t ever strong enough to even come close to accomplishing it.
Therefore jews are not uniquely guilty for trying to dominate the world unlike what you are trying to claim and this is using the exact same logic which you used to exonerate whites which was based on actions and NOT beliefs. You're trying to rely on intentions or beliefs as a suitable substitute for action, or as some entity which absolves prior action but that's not how it works. No matter how many times you claim that jews are bad for wanting to dominate the world because their culture instructs them to it doesnt erase or mitigate the fact that whites actually dominated the world for over five centuries. Beliefs != actions. To give you an example of this, just because I feel that murder is justified is not equal in guilt to actually commiting murder (regardless of intent). People can intend to do things all the time, it doesnt mean that they will necessarily do them or be successful in doing them, that's why the mere intention to do things obviously carries less weight than actually doing things.
All the other races would have done the same in our place, they just weren’t ever strong enough to even come close to accomplishing it.
Whites didnt change by themselves like you're suggesting though. Jews were responsible for helping whites to shed white supremacy. You mention this yourself in a later comment:
But because whites don’t have any sort guiding religious document preaching white supremacy, we were able to change
Jews also played a large role in the civil rights movement which was probably the biggest factor in helping to end white supremacy ideology and promote racial egalitarianism (which by default is the opposite of white supremacy). Therefore your contention that whites were able to change by themselves is incorrect, ironically it was jews who played a large role in helping whites to reform and shed white supremacy ideology. Without jews helping to reeducate the west then the west would still be pro-colonization and white supremacist. You say youre against white supremacy and against white colonization so actually you have the jews to thank for helping make the west and whites the way they are today.
What do neoliberal globalism, Jewish ethnic hatred, racial egalitarianism (promoted by Boas), the idea that “diversity is our greatest strength", or capital’s desire for cheap labor have to do with the legacy of colonialism? Your analysis is facile.
lol, so this is what its come to? Are you this desperate for comrades? I never stated that I supported white genocide, and tellingly you were unable to provide any evidence that I stated as much in spite of you claiming that I did.
So you support white nationalism then? Well, glad we cleared that up. If you aren’t a white nationalist, you either support, are indifferent to, or are ignorant of white genocide. You can’t claim to be ignorant any longer.
whats really naive is somebody who falls for fake anti-china clickbaithttps://i.imgur.com/gAZbC9D.jpgYes and yes.
Am I naive? You posted this book in order to criticize china but ironically about half of the commenters (at amren of all places) are agreeing with china. I guess they’re naive too huh
I stated that white nationalists still make excuses for colonization, and this is completely true. Ive seen it multiple times in this thread. What you're pretending that I claimed is a strawman. Both you and I know this, anybody is free to go back and read all of my responses. For clarity's sake this is what I originally wrote:
Find me one white advocate that supports colonialism and thinks it should be brought back. Shouldn’t be too hard for you being an insider and all.
Why do you persist in falsehoods and arguing in bad faith?
most white advocates ive encountered make endless rationalizations for colonization instead of arguing against it and just admitting it was wrong, including you. There are maybe like 0.05% of white advocates who will admit that european colonization was morally wrong, the rest will make flimsy apologetic arguments for it or will even be proud of it. Just FYI, im an old hand on the alt-right, ive been in this corner of the internet for over a decade now so I know what im talking about. I’ve had plenty of exposure to white advocates to know exactly how they feel and what kind of beliefs they hold, everything you’re saying is blatantly false.
Did I say this? Please provide a quote of where I stated something to this effect
You. You constantly go on about whites did this and that, and they deserve what’s happening to them because of it. Your hatred of whites is obvious.
The two things are not mutually exclusive concepts. Both things can be true at the same time. If the west had never colonized the entire world then jews and a hostile power elite would have a much harder time pushing through mass immigration and multiculturalism. The fact that they were able to push these policies through was because there was already a preexisting global geopolitical foundation in place which was constructed over a period of five centuries by western europeans.Replies: @FvSJews and a hostile power elite are the primary instigators. Colonialism is just one of many excuses they use to justify their genocidal policies.
The west is currently being devoured by mass immigration and multiculturalism; this is a direct result of europeans colonizing the entire world.
Therefore jews are not uniquely guilty for trying to dominate the world unlike what you are trying to claim and this is using the exact same logic which you used to exonerate whites which was based on actions and NOT beliefs.
It turns out that our actions are shaped by our beliefs. Why I need to point out such a simple point to you is beyond me. Whites do not engage in colonialism any more because we have changed our beliefs about colonialism. Whites do not have any sort of guiding religious document or common racial identity centered around white supremacy. Jews do. Why is this so hard for you to understand lol.
Whites didnt change by themselves like you’re suggesting though. Jews were responsible for helping whites to shed white supremacy. You mention this yourself in a later comment…Jews also played a large role in the civil rights movement which was probably the biggest factor in helping to end white supremacy ideology and promote racial egalitarianism (which by default is the opposite of white supremacy).

You say youre against white supremacy and against white colonization so actually you have the jews to thank for helping make the west and whites the way they are today.
White supremacy is not the opposite of racial egalitarianism. Race realism is. Virtually no race realists are white supremacists. White nationalism is not white supremacy. And even if Jews played the pivotal role in ending colonialism (which has not been proven), I would never thank them because they are actively working to destroy my people.
lol, so this is what its come to? Are you this desperate for comrades? I never stated that I supported white genocide, and tellingly you were unable to provide any evidence that I stated as much in spite of you claiming that I did.
I thought it was implied from all your anti-white vitriol. But it’s good to know that you’re on our side after all.

It wouldn’t surprise me one bit coming from these people. Do you support Chinese neocolonialism in Africa or not? Let’s see if you’re a hypocrite.

are you sure about this? The chinese had firearms as early as the 12th century:https://depts.washington.edu/chinaciv/miltech/firearms.htmmeanwhile the kotte kingdom which the ming dynasty fought didn't have firearms until the portuguese showed up in the 16th century:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kingdom_of_Kotte#Militaryhttps://www.globalsecurity.org/military/world/sri-lanka/history-portuguese.htm ^ the portuguese won because they had firearms, implying that the kotte did not have themThe somalians whom zheng he's fleet visited didnt begin using firearms until the 16th century. Therefore the chinese had access to firearm technology approximately four centuries before the somalians did.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abyssinian%E2%80%93Adal_warThen there is the kingdom of malacca which was established at the beginning of the 15th century (the year 1400). During the early years of the kingdom it was protected by the orang laut, a primitive boat people that were indigenous to the area. Without a doubt zheng he's militarily more advanced fleet could have crushed and subjugated them but they didnt. In fact just the opposite happened, the ming dynasty forged good ties with the budding malacca sultanate and helped it grow into a major, regional economic power.These are just three examples where zheng he's fleet encountered cultures which did not yet have firearm technology and hence were technologically inferior in terms of weapons. You wanted to claim that the foreign cultures that zheng he's fleet encountered weren't technologically inferior (in terms of weaponry) but it turns out that many were. Your point in invalidated, why didnt you do any research before making your unsubstantiated claim?
That’s because they weren’t technologically inferior. The Chinese never had the same technological advantages that the Europeans had. Europeans had better armor and weapons.
You're implying that the chinese had to settle for the tributary system because they couldn't outright colonize people, but if this is the case then why didnt they colonize the kotte? They had already destroyed their army, invaded the capital and took the king and the royal family captive; colonizing the place would have been a fait accompli, yet the chinese didnt bother colonizing them and on the contrary they even ended up repatriating the offending king, his family and his officials.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ming%E2%80%93Kotte_WarWhy not actually read about the tributary system instead of making assumptions about it? The chinese have always tended to be an insular civilization, you keep projecting western motives and desires to them when reality and history doesnt support this. On this topic you yourself implied that HBD is real in this quote:
The Chinese had great difficulty fighting anyone other than themselves which is why they had to settle for tributary system.
so why do you not apply HBD in your reasoning? Why is it shocking to you that maybe some races/ethnic groups/whatever are more adventurous and externally oriented than other races? Likewise why do you doubt that some races/ethnic groups are less curious and more insular compared to others? We observe exactly these kinds of racial/ethnic differences, so why do you persist in acting like they don't exist by continuing to try to argue that all races/ethnic groups would act the same in X situation? You're arguing like a blank slate, racial egalitarian liberal.
What do neoliberal globalism, Jewish ethnic hatred, racial egalitarianism (promoted by Boas), the idea that “diversity is our greatest strength,” or capital’s desire for cheap labor have to do with the legacy of colonialism? Your analysis is facile.
When I mentioned the chinese I was referring only to the chinese and not all asians, although I'll admit that wasn't explicit about this. That being said, I was consistent with my logic because in the same comment I clarified what we meant regarding "races" with regards to white people. I never claimed to speak about whites in general, only western european whites. I mentioned this in comment #177 which I ironically enough wrote to you, you just dont remember:
One final point, you are using one nation at a particular time in their history as evidence for all Asians. If the existence of the Ming Dynasty means the Mongolian Empire never happened, then I guess the existence of all those European countries that never had colonies means the ones that did don’t count against us.
Therefore the implication of me writing this was that my reference to the ming dynasty was valid as well since I had made it clear with my clarification that I was no longer speaking in terms of entire races but rather civilizations or perhaps cultural blocs for a lack of a better term.
We’ve had over five centuries to observe the behavior of whites, it appears that western europeans (so not necessarily all whites, which is a clumsy term in this context) demonstrate a much higher inclination and tendency to want to dominate and rule over others. If you can’t trust over 500 years of observation regarding a specific racial group then what can you trust?
My point stands since your original point actually turned out to be invalid.Replies: @FvSSee my point above. You are cherrypicking.
Chinese vassalhood was remarkably more hands off than european (spanish) style colonization of this same general time period…The two cannot even be compared in terms of brutality.
are you sure about this? The chinese had firearms as early as the 12th century:
Yes, “firearms.” Europeans had the better cannons and handheld firearms.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gunpowder_weapons_in_the_Ming_dynasty#Matchlocks
the portuguese won because they had firearms, implying that the kotte did not have them
Or that the Kotte had inferior firearms to the Portuguese.
Without a doubt zheng he’s militarily more advanced fleet could have crushed and subjugated them but they didnt. In fact just the opposite happened, the ming dynasty forged good ties with the budding malacca sultanate and helped it grow into a major, regional economic power.
Maybe he could have beaten the fleet, but did he have the technological superiority to capture the entire sultanate? Also, there was a sizable Chinese population there which may have influenced things. Did the Europeans conquer and colonize every single people they found?
The somalians whom zheng he’s fleet visited didnt begin using firearms until the 16th century. Therefore the chinese had access to firearm technology approximately four centuries before the somalians did.
In this case, the Somalians were technologically inferior when it came to firearms, but that doesn’t mean Zheng had the strength to take them.
These are just three examples where zheng he’s fleet encountered cultures which did not yet have firearm technology and hence were technologically inferior in terms of weapons. You wanted to claim that the foreign cultures that zheng he’s fleet encountered weren’t technologically inferior (in terms of weaponry) but it turns out that many were. Your point in invalidated, why didnt you do any research before making your unsubstantiated claim?
I said armor and weaponry. But you only succeeded in proving the Somalians were inferior in terms of firearms and didn’t prove anything about the others. You have more work to do.
You’re implying that the chinese had to settle for the tributary system because they couldn’t outright colonize people, but if this is the case then why didnt they colonize the kotte?
They installed a puppet. “As documented in Chinese records, Parakramabahu VI was elected by the Sinhalese present at the Ming court, nominated by the Ming emperor, and installed by Admiral Zheng He with the backing of his fleet.”
so why do you not apply HBD in your reasoning? Why is it shocking to you that maybe some races/ethnic groups/whatever are more adventurous and externally oriented than other races? Likewise why do you doubt that some races/ethnic groups are less curious and more insular compared to others?
It’s possible, but all races engaged in wars of conquest. This cannot be disputed. The Chinese did plenty of exploring as you pointed out. But the Chinese never had the same level of technological advantage that the Europeans had over the people they fought. For example, on Chinese horses…
In the late Ming Dynasty, the marked inferiority of the Chinese horses was noted by the Jesuit missionary and ambassador Matteo Ricci (1552–1610), who observed:
“[The Chinese] have countless horses in the service of the army, but these are so degenerate and lacking in martial spirit that they are put to rout even by the neighing of the Tartars steed and so they are practically useless in battle.”[10]
When I mentioned the chinese I was referring only to the chinese and not all asians, although I’ll admit that wasn’t explicit about this. That being said, I was consistent with my logic because in the same comment I clarified what we meant regarding “races” with regards to white people. I never claimed to speak about whites in general, only western european whites. I mentioned this in comment #177 which I ironically enough wrote to you, you just dont remember:
Multiple times you’ve assigned collective guilt to all whites. Once, you mentioned Western Europeans in passing.
My point stands since your original point actually turned out to be invalid.
No because I said all races, not every single ethnic group. And you haven’t even proved that the Chinese had the same level of technological advantage that the Europeans had. They were never in our position. Also, the Spanish conquest of the New World was really a fluke. Cortes only succeeded from a combination of technology, military strategy, disease, and the fact that a lot of other tribes helped them because they were sick of Mexica tyranny. I also want to point out something that was unique to Europeans, had nothing to do with race, but ended up influencing colonial ambitions…Christianity.
OK, let's blame specific European countries. The United Kingdom, France, Spain, Portugal, Belgium, the Netherlands, Denmark, Germany, Italy. The only western European countries that didn't practice colonialism in the Third World were those that were too tiny and insignificant to do so, or were too busy practising colonialism closer to home (Sweden, Austria-Hungary, Tsarist Russia). Or were unable to do so because they were themselves part of the colonial empires of other European powers.
You do claim that all whites support colonization, because you put the blame on all whites by using this expression. You do not blame specific Europeans countries like the United Kingdom,
What’s worse, colonialism or wars of conquest and mass slaughter? No race is innocent, and at least Europeans left some decent infrastructure in their former colonies. Here are some goodies from our benevolent Mings.

Of course no race is innocent. So why are you so defensive when people try to point out that white Europeans have been far from innocent and have in fact done some appalling things?
What’s worse, colonialism or wars of conquest and mass slaughter? No race is innocent
Actually the history between china and vietnam is really complicated and stretches out for over 1500 years. China's colonization of vietnam during this period is significantly different in tone than europeans randomly showing up one day and colonizing indigenous people that they had never met before in some country on the other side of the world. Basically with regards to the lam son uprising, there were events preceding this, and events preceding the events that preceded this and so on so forth. Its an oversimplification and patently untrue to act as if the chinese colonizing vietnam was equivalent to western europeans conquering the new world.

Haha, well that’s good to know. Still, do you support what China is doing in Africa?
https://www.panafricanalliance.com/china-africa-colonialism/
Except I never stated that I supported white genocide lol. Ive merely been pointing out your hypocrisy for condemning jews for desiring world domination while whites were the ones who actually dominated the world. Below is the snippet of our conversation that you're referring to:
See above. And I noted that you didn’t even attempt to answer my question about whether your support of white genocide applied to other peoples as well for their past (and present) misdeeds.
Nowhere did I mention anything about white people deserving to be ethnically cleansed from their homelands due to bad deeds in the past. I have no idea where you got that from. You're clearly so emotional about this topic that you just imagine or assume that people are saying things when they really arent.Strawman. I never said it was okay. My point was that all races have engaged in conquest and slaughter. European caucasoids are not unique in that regard. But what you seem to be implying is that because some white people did bad things in the past, they deserve to be ethnically cleansed from their homelands. Would you apply this same logic to the Turks because of the Ottoman Empire? What about the Japanese because of Nanking? Israelis because of what they’re doing to the Palestinians? How about the Bantus of Africa?
secondly, if dominating the entire world is “ok” just because anybody else would do so if they had the means to then why are you complaining about jewish aspirations for world domination in the first place? According to your logic, anybody will dominate the world if they have the means to do so and this is considered justifiable by you, so why is it problematic when jews exercise this “right”? your reasoning is self defeating

Except...I never claimed that all whites still support colonization. This was never a point of contention, I was always very specific in claiming that it was white nationalists who still make excuses for colonization. There's no point in you bringing up all whites into this part of the conversation. And no, the majority of white advocates make up stupid excuses and rationalizations for colonization; they dont regret anything lol. In this thread alone there have already been like two or three guys (I lost count) that tried making up some rationalizations and excuses for colonization. Like I said, Ive been around this corner of the internet for a really long time, I know the alt-right very well.
To illustrate that virtually all whites no longer support colonization or anything like it. White advocates are no exception to this. I doubt anyone regrets colonization or slavery more than white advocates, as they are now being used as justification for our eradication by people like you. Also, you should look up Jewish involvement in the slave trade.
But I didn't misunderstand anything. This is actually the first time that you yourself have stated that you think that colonization should have never happened, I surprised it took me this long to get you to finally admit it. Even then you're still unable to just admit that its wrong without trying to add some rationalization or positive spin to it. The massive ego of white nationalists prevents them from just admitting that colonization was wrong and leaving it at that. Anyways, why didnt you just admit this from the get go instead of arguing about it with me and making endless rationalizations about it? Was it really that hard to just say it?
You misunderstand yet again. I’m not trying to justify colonization. I’m just pointing out that colonization actually improved some countries. But I still think it should never have been done in the first place. The U.S. being the exception of course. 🙂
who said anything about collective guilt? The west is currently being devoured by mass immigration and multiculturalism; this is a direct result of europeans colonizing the entire world. It has nothing to do with collective guilt and everything to do with actions and unintended consequences. I see nothing wrong with this reasoning. Ironically you should agree with what I wrote as well; afterall had europeans never colonized the entire world then mass immigration and multiculturalism would lack a basis to come into existence in the first place. Both mass immigration and multiculturalism only came into existence because the west spent five centuries making itself into a nexus of international trade, commerce and geopolitics. Once again, you are imagining that people are making arguments that they actually arent making at all.*Yawn* Just admit that you think collective guilt only applies to whites and no other race so that white genocide can be justified in your eyes.
well the west probably should have left the entire world alone yet it forced the entire world to globalize and interconnect at literal gunpoint for over five centuries. Modern globalization is based upon the foundation created by european colonization of the entire world. You should blame your ancestors for the current state of affairs. That being said, ironically instead of blaming your ancestors, people like you continue to exonerate and even celebrate them for their colonial adventures.
Why are you condeming jews for being uniquely guilty of racial supremacism and aspiring for world domination? This is not a unique sin, every race would try to dominate the world if they had the means to, at least according to you. Why is it so bad when jews do it?Replies: @Nalca, @FvS

Find me one white advocate that supports colonialism and thinks it should be brought back. Shouldn’t be too hard for you being an insider and all.
who said anything about collective guilt?
You. You constantly go on about whites did this and that, and they deserve what’s happening to them because of it. Your hatred of whites is obvious.
The west is currently being devoured by mass immigration and multiculturalism; this is a direct result of europeans colonizing the entire world.
Jews and a hostile power elite are the primary instigators. Colonialism is just one of many excuses they use to justify their genocidal policies.
It has nothing to do with collective guilt and everything to do with actions and unintended consequences. I see nothing wrong with this reasoning. Ironically you should agree with what I wrote as well; afterall had europeans never colonized the entire world then mass immigration and multiculturalism would lack a basis to come into existence in the first place. Both mass immigration and multiculturalism only came into existence because the west spent five centuries making itself into a nexus of international trade, commerce and geopolitics. Once again, you are imagining that people are making arguments that they actually arent making at all.
What do neoliberal globalism, Jewish ethnic hatred, racial egalitarianism (promoted by Boas), the idea that “diversity is our greatest strength,” or capital’s desire for cheap labor have to do with the legacy of colonialism? Your analysis is facile.
are you sure about this? The chinese had firearms as early as the 12th century:https://depts.washington.edu/chinaciv/miltech/firearms.htmmeanwhile the kotte kingdom which the ming dynasty fought didn't have firearms until the portuguese showed up in the 16th century:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kingdom_of_Kotte#Militaryhttps://www.globalsecurity.org/military/world/sri-lanka/history-portuguese.htm ^ the portuguese won because they had firearms, implying that the kotte did not have themThe somalians whom zheng he's fleet visited didnt begin using firearms until the 16th century. Therefore the chinese had access to firearm technology approximately four centuries before the somalians did.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abyssinian%E2%80%93Adal_warThen there is the kingdom of malacca which was established at the beginning of the 15th century (the year 1400). During the early years of the kingdom it was protected by the orang laut, a primitive boat people that were indigenous to the area. Without a doubt zheng he's militarily more advanced fleet could have crushed and subjugated them but they didnt. In fact just the opposite happened, the ming dynasty forged good ties with the budding malacca sultanate and helped it grow into a major, regional economic power.These are just three examples where zheng he's fleet encountered cultures which did not yet have firearm technology and hence were technologically inferior in terms of weapons. You wanted to claim that the foreign cultures that zheng he's fleet encountered weren't technologically inferior (in terms of weaponry) but it turns out that many were. Your point in invalidated, why didnt you do any research before making your unsubstantiated claim?
That’s because they weren’t technologically inferior. The Chinese never had the same technological advantages that the Europeans had. Europeans had better armor and weapons.
You're implying that the chinese had to settle for the tributary system because they couldn't outright colonize people, but if this is the case then why didnt they colonize the kotte? They had already destroyed their army, invaded the capital and took the king and the royal family captive; colonizing the place would have been a fait accompli, yet the chinese didnt bother colonizing them and on the contrary they even ended up repatriating the offending king, his family and his officials.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ming%E2%80%93Kotte_WarWhy not actually read about the tributary system instead of making assumptions about it? The chinese have always tended to be an insular civilization, you keep projecting western motives and desires to them when reality and history doesnt support this. On this topic you yourself implied that HBD is real in this quote:
The Chinese had great difficulty fighting anyone other than themselves which is why they had to settle for tributary system.
so why do you not apply HBD in your reasoning? Why is it shocking to you that maybe some races/ethnic groups/whatever are more adventurous and externally oriented than other races? Likewise why do you doubt that some races/ethnic groups are less curious and more insular compared to others? We observe exactly these kinds of racial/ethnic differences, so why do you persist in acting like they don't exist by continuing to try to argue that all races/ethnic groups would act the same in X situation? You're arguing like a blank slate, racial egalitarian liberal.
What do neoliberal globalism, Jewish ethnic hatred, racial egalitarianism (promoted by Boas), the idea that “diversity is our greatest strength,” or capital’s desire for cheap labor have to do with the legacy of colonialism? Your analysis is facile.
When I mentioned the chinese I was referring only to the chinese and not all asians, although I'll admit that wasn't explicit about this. That being said, I was consistent with my logic because in the same comment I clarified what we meant regarding "races" with regards to white people. I never claimed to speak about whites in general, only western european whites. I mentioned this in comment #177 which I ironically enough wrote to you, you just dont remember:
One final point, you are using one nation at a particular time in their history as evidence for all Asians. If the existence of the Ming Dynasty means the Mongolian Empire never happened, then I guess the existence of all those European countries that never had colonies means the ones that did don’t count against us.
Therefore the implication of me writing this was that my reference to the ming dynasty was valid as well since I had made it clear with my clarification that I was no longer speaking in terms of entire races but rather civilizations or perhaps cultural blocs for a lack of a better term.
We’ve had over five centuries to observe the behavior of whites, it appears that western europeans (so not necessarily all whites, which is a clumsy term in this context) demonstrate a much higher inclination and tendency to want to dominate and rule over others. If you can’t trust over 500 years of observation regarding a specific racial group then what can you trust?
My point stands since your original point actually turned out to be invalid.Replies: @FvSSee my point above. You are cherrypicking.
Chinese vassalhood was remarkably more hands off than european (spanish) style colonization of this same general time period…The two cannot even be compared in terms of brutality.
Your original criteria for exonerating white global domination was based only on actions and not beliefs:
I was referring to the height of colonialism. That was during a time period when wars of conquest, colonization, slavery, etc. were viewed quite differently than they are now. But because whites don’t have any sort guiding religious document preaching white supremacy, we were able to change. Jews have not changed and will never change because Jewish supremacy is part of their religion and core identity. They are unique in this regard.
You said nothing about beliefs mattering in the snippet of your logic that you used to exonerate white responsibility for dominating the entire world. You only tried to selectively add on this logic that beliefs matter afterwards. However in the interests of impartiality and fairness, we must apply the same logic with which you exonerated white responsibility for global domination to the jews as well, which supports my original point. You said:
All the other races would have done the same in our place, they just weren’t ever strong enough to even come close to accomplishing it.
Therefore jews are not uniquely guilty for trying to dominate the world unlike what you are trying to claim and this is using the exact same logic which you used to exonerate whites which was based on actions and NOT beliefs. You're trying to rely on intentions or beliefs as a suitable substitute for action, or as some entity which absolves prior action but that's not how it works. No matter how many times you claim that jews are bad for wanting to dominate the world because their culture instructs them to it doesnt erase or mitigate the fact that whites actually dominated the world for over five centuries. Beliefs != actions. To give you an example of this, just because I feel that murder is justified is not equal in guilt to actually commiting murder (regardless of intent). People can intend to do things all the time, it doesnt mean that they will necessarily do them or be successful in doing them, that's why the mere intention to do things obviously carries less weight than actually doing things.
All the other races would have done the same in our place, they just weren’t ever strong enough to even come close to accomplishing it.
Whites didnt change by themselves like you're suggesting though. Jews were responsible for helping whites to shed white supremacy. You mention this yourself in a later comment:
But because whites don’t have any sort guiding religious document preaching white supremacy, we were able to change
Jews also played a large role in the civil rights movement which was probably the biggest factor in helping to end white supremacy ideology and promote racial egalitarianism (which by default is the opposite of white supremacy). Therefore your contention that whites were able to change by themselves is incorrect, ironically it was jews who played a large role in helping whites to reform and shed white supremacy ideology. Without jews helping to reeducate the west then the west would still be pro-colonization and white supremacist. You say youre against white supremacy and against white colonization so actually you have the jews to thank for helping make the west and whites the way they are today.
What do neoliberal globalism, Jewish ethnic hatred, racial egalitarianism (promoted by Boas), the idea that “diversity is our greatest strength", or capital’s desire for cheap labor have to do with the legacy of colonialism? Your analysis is facile.
lol, so this is what its come to? Are you this desperate for comrades? I never stated that I supported white genocide, and tellingly you were unable to provide any evidence that I stated as much in spite of you claiming that I did.
So you support white nationalism then? Well, glad we cleared that up. If you aren’t a white nationalist, you either support, are indifferent to, or are ignorant of white genocide. You can’t claim to be ignorant any longer.
whats really naive is somebody who falls for fake anti-china clickbaithttps://i.imgur.com/gAZbC9D.jpgYes and yes.
Am I naive? You posted this book in order to criticize china but ironically about half of the commenters (at amren of all places) are agreeing with china. I guess they’re naive too huh
I stated that white nationalists still make excuses for colonization, and this is completely true. Ive seen it multiple times in this thread. What you're pretending that I claimed is a strawman. Both you and I know this, anybody is free to go back and read all of my responses. For clarity's sake this is what I originally wrote:
Find me one white advocate that supports colonialism and thinks it should be brought back. Shouldn’t be too hard for you being an insider and all.
Why do you persist in falsehoods and arguing in bad faith?
most white advocates ive encountered make endless rationalizations for colonization instead of arguing against it and just admitting it was wrong, including you. There are maybe like 0.05% of white advocates who will admit that european colonization was morally wrong, the rest will make flimsy apologetic arguments for it or will even be proud of it. Just FYI, im an old hand on the alt-right, ive been in this corner of the internet for over a decade now so I know what im talking about. I’ve had plenty of exposure to white advocates to know exactly how they feel and what kind of beliefs they hold, everything you’re saying is blatantly false.
Did I say this? Please provide a quote of where I stated something to this effect
You. You constantly go on about whites did this and that, and they deserve what’s happening to them because of it. Your hatred of whites is obvious.
The two things are not mutually exclusive concepts. Both things can be true at the same time. If the west had never colonized the entire world then jews and a hostile power elite would have a much harder time pushing through mass immigration and multiculturalism. The fact that they were able to push these policies through was because there was already a preexisting global geopolitical foundation in place which was constructed over a period of five centuries by western europeans.Replies: @FvSJews and a hostile power elite are the primary instigators. Colonialism is just one of many excuses they use to justify their genocidal policies.
The west is currently being devoured by mass immigration and multiculturalism; this is a direct result of europeans colonizing the entire world.
The europeans conquered technologically inferior indigenous people around the world and never colonized technological peers. The ming treasure voyages often encountered technologically inferior indigenous people during the course of their journeys yet they didn't attempt to conquer and colonize them like the europeans did. The link below includes a brief exposition of the various destinations that zheng he's fleet went to:
It’s a mistake to think the Ming Dynasty could have dominated the entire world had they chosen to. They did not have the same military advantages that the Europeans had. Previous attempts to conquer Japan and Vietnam ended in disaster, and the Chinese even cowered before Malay pirates lol.
Except...I specified a specific period of time when I was referencing european colonization:It’s possible, but there were European colonies where the native populations were preserved. In fact, I think the majority of them fall into this category.
Had korea, japan, vietnam etc had the misfortune of being dominated by western powers during this same time period then there would probably be no korean, japanese, vietnamese etc culture or people existing today, they would have already been genocided or displaced by the western colonists.
also you clipped off the last (and very pertinent) part of my quote:
Had korea, japan, vietnam etc had the misfortune of being dominated by western powers during this same time period
Chinese vassalhood was remarkably more hands off than european (spanish) style colonization of this same general time period. Your original point was implying that chinese vassalhood was really awful, but compared to being colonized by the spanish, chinese vassalhood was remarkably humane. Korea, japan and vietnam maintained their cultural and genetic integrity in spite of being chinese vassal states for centuries and centuries on end, mexico (and the rest of mesoamerica and south america) sustained significant damage to their cultural and genetic integrity within just decades of exposure to spanish colonization. The two cannot even be compared in terms of brutality.
Had korea, japan, vietnam etc had the misfortune of being dominated by western powers during this same time period then there would probably be no korean, japanese, vietnamese etc culture or people existing today, they would have already been genocided or displaced by the western colonists. Being made a vassal state and having to pay tribute is infinitely preferable to being directly exploited, displaced and/or genocided off your homeland.

It was a strawman. Let me use a simple analogy so that you can understand. Pointing out that people of all races commit murder doesn’t imply one believes murder should be legal.

That’s because they weren’t technologically inferior. The Chinese never had the same technological advantages that the Europeans had. Europeans had better armor and weapons.

As per usual, TUR misogynists don't like the bitter taste of their own medicine.
Their primary fallback, as we see here, is the old yarn that it’s “white men’s fault for handing their societies over to the Jew”,
If you want to insult women, go ahead. You belong in the manosphere, not White nationalism.
Women like this love to hide their viciousness behind being “pro-White”, which means, to them, that you’re not allowed to criticize women as a group.
Especially when it's nothing but a totally unsubstantiated pack of lies.
Yet, it’s easy to see her perspective. No one likes to be told that their group has behavioral problems, and indeed a lack of rational agency, that can’t be corrected and should rather be controlled by some superior guiding force.
Organizational skills and agency are two completely different things, assuming you are correct that men have superior organizational skills.
If you say that white men do not have superior agency, then women should be as competent as men at running a nation or some other complex operation,
The money quote!
As an afterthought, this stupid old “debate”, which is destined to unfold in exactly the same way every time eternally, is totally pointless inasmuch as no one group is responsible for the state of affairs: a thought so obvious and blasé that one is ashamed to express it.
The current state of white women stems directly from the weakness of white men.
To illustrate that virtually all whites no longer support colonization or anything like it. White advocates are no exception to this. I doubt anyone regrets colonization or slavery more than white advocates, as they are now being used as justification for our eradication by people like you. Also, you should look up Jewish involvement in the slave trade.
Why are you trying to bolster your point by bringing up whites in general? We were never discussing whites in general lol, we were discussing white advocates.
You misunderstand yet again. I'm not trying to justify colonization. I'm just pointing out that colonization actually improved some countries. But I still think it should never have been done in the first place. The U.S. being the exception of course. :)
You yourself are trying to come up with flimsy justifications for european colonization, ironically you’re not even doing what you yourself claim that white advocates do. You completely lack self awareness. Youre engaging in the exact kind of behavior that was in my original quote, see the part of your quote that I bolded.
*Yawn* Just admit that you think collective guilt only applies to whites and no other race so that white genocide can be justified in your eyes.
well the west probably should have left the entire world alone yet it forced the entire world to globalize and interconnect at literal gunpoint for over five centuries. Modern globalization is based upon the foundation created by european colonization of the entire world. You should blame your ancestors for the current state of affairs. That being said, ironically instead of blaming your ancestors, people like you continue to exonerate and even celebrate them for their colonial adventures.
I condemn Jews for what they have done and what they are continuing to do to my people and others around the world. Now, what's the white equivalent of the Torah and Talmud?Replies: @FvS, @GammaRay, @GammaRay
You condemn jews for aspiring to do something which whites actually did; how silly is that?
The history of the past half millennium does not suggest that whites want to be left alone. The history of the past half century does not suggest that whites want to be left alone. Even today American whites still want to rule the world. British whites still want to fight neo-colonialist wars. Australian whites still want to join the US in fighting neo-colonialist wars.
We just want our countries back and to be left alone.
U.S. foreign policy is controlled by Jewish neocons and their goy minions. And the wars are hardly neo-colonialist adventures but are fought for the interest of Israeli national security and regional dominance. Or if you believe the media propaganda (like many Americans do), they are fought to protect us from terror attacks and to spread democracy.
Why are you trying to bolster your point by bringing up whites in general? We were never discussing whites in general lol, we were discussing white advocates. As I said before and as you yourself quoted:
Did you even read what I wrote? The vast majority of white advocates (and whites in general) do not support colonization and admit it was wrong. Find me one white advocate that wants a return of colonization or slavery or whatever. That being said, even Africans will tell you that Sierra Leone is a better country than Liberia because of colonization.

Except I never stated that I supported white genocide lol. Ive merely been pointing out your hypocrisy for condemning jews for desiring world domination while whites were the ones who actually dominated the world. Below is the snippet of our conversation that you're referring to:
See above. And I noted that you didn’t even attempt to answer my question about whether your support of white genocide applied to other peoples as well for their past (and present) misdeeds.
Nowhere did I mention anything about white people deserving to be ethnically cleansed from their homelands due to bad deeds in the past. I have no idea where you got that from. You're clearly so emotional about this topic that you just imagine or assume that people are saying things when they really arent.Strawman. I never said it was okay. My point was that all races have engaged in conquest and slaughter. European caucasoids are not unique in that regard. But what you seem to be implying is that because some white people did bad things in the past, they deserve to be ethnically cleansed from their homelands. Would you apply this same logic to the Turks because of the Ottoman Empire? What about the Japanese because of Nanking? Israelis because of what they’re doing to the Palestinians? How about the Bantus of Africa?
secondly, if dominating the entire world is “ok” just because anybody else would do so if they had the means to then why are you complaining about jewish aspirations for world domination in the first place? According to your logic, anybody will dominate the world if they have the means to do so and this is considered justifiable by you, so why is it problematic when jews exercise this “right”? your reasoning is self defeating

But I didn't misunderstand anything. This is actually the first time that you yourself have stated that you think that colonization should have never happened, I surprised it took me this long to get you to finally admit it. Even then you're still unable to just admit that its wrong without trying to add some rationalization or positive spin to it. The massive ego of white nationalists prevents them from just admitting that colonization was wrong and leaving it at that. Anyways, why didnt you just admit this from the get go instead of arguing about it with me and making endless rationalizations about it? Was it really that hard to just say it?

Why are you condeming jews for being uniquely guilty of racial supremacism and aspiring for world domination? This is not a unique sin, every race would try to dominate the world if they had the means to, at least according to you. Why is it so bad when jews do it?Replies: @Nalca, @FvS
I condemn Jews for what they have done and what they are continuing to do to my people and others around the world.
no its actually a really good example. You original argument was as follows in bold:
Bad example. The Ming Dynasty dominated its neighbors, turning them into vassal states and exacting tribute from them.
To restate your argument, you implied that all the other races would have desired to dominate the entire world if they had the means to do so. I brought up the fact that the ming dynasty had the ability to conquer the entire world with its massive fleet but chose not to. Ming dynasty may have dominated its neighbors, but this is not the same as dominating the entire world (which the ming dynasty had the means to do so with its massive fleet, but chose not to). Therefore your argument that all other races would have tried to conquer the entire world if they had the means to falls flat. Just to reiterate since you have problems understanding your own arguments, we were discussing world domination, not regional domination.All the other races would have done the same in our place, they just weren’t ever strong enough to even come close to accomplishing it.
the only race that actually desired to dominate the entire world and succeeded in doing so was whites.
the point went completely over your head, in fact what I wrote wasnt even a strawman. That's how badly you misunderstood the point. What I was doing was taking the exact same logic you supplied and was applying to your own arguments. Nothing you wrote disproved my original point which i'll provide again as well as your original text:
Strawman. I never said it was okay. My point was that all races have engaged in conquest and slaughter. European caucasoids are not unique in that regard. But what you seem to be implying is that because some white people did bad things in the past, they deserve to be ethnically cleansed from their homelands. Would you apply this same logic to the Turks because of the Ottoman Empire? What about the Japanese because of Nanking? Israelis because of what they’re doing to the Palestinians? How about the Bantus of Africa?
As anybody can see, you completely misunderstood the point. You wanted to exonerate white world domination by claiming that any race would try to dominate the world if they had the means to, but what you didnt realize is that your reasoning also applies to jews as well. If your reasoning exonerates whites from their history of world domination then it also exonerates jews as well for attempting world domination. If thats the case (and it is) then this brings us back to square one and neutralizes your original point about jews being bad for seeking world domination, hence your logic is ultimately self defeating.secondly, if dominating the entire world is “ok” just because anybody else would do so if they had the means to then why are you complaining about jewish aspirations for world domination in the first place? According to your logic, anybody will dominate the world if they have the means to do so and this is considered justifiable by you, so why is it problematic when jews exercise this “right”? your reasoning is self defeating
All the other races would have done the same in our place, they just weren’t ever strong enough to even come close to accomplishing it.
The chinese are a perfect control for this. As I said before, the ming dynasty had the technological means to conquer the entire world yet they chose not to. Relative to the chinese, western europeans of this same time period definitely demonstrated a much higher inclination and tendency to want to dominate and rule over others. We see these same tendencies extend to the present day as well; the united states is acting the same way the west historically has (attacking, bullying and exploiting others) while china is acting the same way it always has (minding its own business, not attacking people around the world, and just taking care of its own regional affairs).
Much higher inclination and tendency? How would you measure this exactly and control for differences in technology?
Therefore your argument that all other races would have tried to conquer the entire world if they had the means to falls flat. Just to reiterate since you have problems understanding your own arguments, we were discussing world domination, not regional domination.
It’s a mistake to think the Ming Dynasty could have dominated the entire world had they chosen to. They did not have the same military advantages that the Europeans had. Previous attempts to conquer Japan and Vietnam ended in disaster, and the Chinese even cowered before Malay pirates lol.
Had korea, japan, vietnam etc had the misfortune of being dominated by western powers during this same time period then there would probably be no korean, japanese, vietnamese etc culture or people existing today, they would have already been genocided or displaced by the western colonists.
It’s possible, but there were European colonies where the native populations were preserved. In fact, I think the majority of them fall into this category.
the point went completely over your head, in fact what I wrote wasnt even a strawman.
It was a strawman. Let me use a simple analogy so that you can understand. Pointing out that people of all races commit murder doesn’t imply one believes murder should be legal.
You wanted to exonerate white world domination by claiming that any race would try to dominate the world if they had the means to, but what you didnt realize is that your reasoning also applies to jews as well. If your reasoning exonerates whites from their history of world domination then it also exonerates jews as well for attempting world domination. If thats the case (and it is) then this brings us back to square one and neutralizes your original point about jews being bad for seeking world domination, hence your logic is ultimately self defeating.
See above. And I noted that you didn’t even attempt to answer my question about whether your support of white genocide applied to other peoples as well for their past (and present) misdeeds.
We see these same tendencies extend to the present day as well; the united states is acting the same way the west historically has (attacking, bullying and exploiting others) while china is acting the same way it always has (minding its own business, not attacking people around the world, and just taking care of its own regional affairs).
Haha, so naive.

Another weird dimension of current WN subculture is that they have taken their understanding of 'race loyalty' to weird directions.
White nationalists/dissident rightists have no understanding of women. More amusingly, they have no understanding of white people.
They say cuckolding/paternity fraud is ok as long as it produces a white baby. Hence, they are no friend of normal white men. They also see fatherhood as of no value.
What percentage of white nationalists hold those views? Quit embarrassing yourself.
Even more weirdly, anput 40% of them say that as a second choice, they would rather have sex with a white man than a black woman, for reasons of race loyalty. They say ‘race loyalty’ trumps sexual orientation, plus producing no baby is better than producing a mulatto baby.
Have a source for that number?
I actually provided a link, fool.

The ming dynasty had to means to do so with their huge fleet, but instead of invading and colonizing people in far away lands they chose to peacefully trade with them. Your reasoning falls apart here
All the other races would have done the same in our place, they just weren’t ever strong enough to even come close to accomplishing it.
We've had over five centuries to observe the behavior of whites, it appears that western europeans (so not necessarily all whites, which is a clumsy term in this context) demonstrate a much higher inclination and tendency to want to dominate and rule over others. If you can't trust over 500 years of observation regarding a specific racial group then what can you trust?
That being said, there is nothing inherent to white identity that states whites must dominate and rule over the other races.
most white advocates ive encountered make endless rationalizations for colonization instead of arguing against it and just admitting it was wrong, including you. There are maybe like 0.05% of white advocates who will admit that european colonization was morally wrong, the rest will make flimsy apologetic arguments for it or will even be proud of it. Just FYI, im an old hand on the alt-right, ive been in this corner of the internet for over a decade now so I know what im talking about. I've had plenty of exposure to white advocates to know exactly how they feel and what kind of beliefs they hold, everything you're saying is blatantly false.
In fact, white advocates today argue against such things, rightly viewing them as detrimental to our goals of racial and ethnic preservation and as immoral from a human rights point of view. White supremacists, frankly, do not exist. It’s a media myth.
Except this doesnt disprove my original point. You and I both know that, you're just throwing a bunch of shit against the wall and hoping some of it sticks. You should go ahead and admit that you painted yourself in a corner, nothing you said detracts from the veracity of my original point. You wanted to claim that jews are racial supremacists that seek world domination yet it was whites who believed in white supremacy, desired to dominate the entire world and actually dominated the entire world for multiple centuries.

On the other hand, subjugation of the goyim is built into the Jewish identity. Their religion is literally a roadmap for world domination, and their racial/ethnic consciousness is based upon “choseness” and genetic superiority. Secular Jews are not exempt from this because they still belong to the greater Jewish ethnic identity and culture which has largely been defined by Judaism the religion.

Bad example. The Ming Dynasty dominated its neighbors, turning them into vassal states and exacting tribute from them.

no its actually a really good example. You original argument was as follows in bold:
Bad example. The Ming Dynasty dominated its neighbors, turning them into vassal states and exacting tribute from them.
To restate your argument, you implied that all the other races would have desired to dominate the entire world if they had the means to do so. I brought up the fact that the ming dynasty had the ability to conquer the entire world with its massive fleet but chose not to. Ming dynasty may have dominated its neighbors, but this is not the same as dominating the entire world (which the ming dynasty had the means to do so with its massive fleet, but chose not to). Therefore your argument that all other races would have tried to conquer the entire world if they had the means to falls flat.

You yourself are trying to come up with flimsy justifications for european colonization, ironically you're not even doing what you yourself claim that white advocates do.

well the west probably should have left the entire world alone yet it forced the entire world to globalize and interconnect at literal gunpoint for over five centuries. Modern globalization is based upon the foundation created by european colonization of the entire world. You should blame your ancestors for the current state of affairs. That being said, ironically instead of blaming your ancestors, people like you continue to exonerate and even celebrate them for their colonial adventures.

Most White women these days are sluts and have slept with many men before.
This applies to Asian women as well. Like I said, the Japanese are especially degenerate. Japanese wives cheat on their husbands all the time while the husbands are working those long hours. Your fetish is making you blind, and you have “grass is always greener” syndrome.
Also, what exactly are this articles meant to show? Race is real and there will be differences, why does it matter that some diseases are more prevalent in some races than others? Breeding with East Asian women will give your kids higher IQs and since Asian women are not disgusting feminists, they will stay at home to instill strong values into the child while the White male teaches the best of European values.
That whites breeding with Asians will lead to less healthy children. They will also be shorter, slower, and weaker. Not to mention the eventual erasure of the X factors that made white civilization so great to begin with, whether it be higher empathy, risk taking, relatively higher levels of individualism, or whatever. Intelligence gains can be achieved through eugenics which doesn’t lead to all the negative traits that breeding with Asians brings. White culture will be restored to normalcy once the Jew is expelled.
BS. As a 100% white guy I am a 1000% for white-Asian interbreeding. Hapas make me happy. An America and West run and ruled by the Eursians fills me with a lot of optimism.

Wrong.
Cultural identity is in my view more significant than ethnic or racial identity.
Culture is downstream from race. A wigger in the hood is never going to fit in like he would if he was black. And genetics trumps ideology. That’s why Liberia looks the way it does despite having a nearly identical Constitution to America’s.
Using hysterical terms like genocide to describe the consequences of whites’ voluntary decision not to reproduce themselves is one of the reasons people don’t listen to the Dissident Right.

White means European caucasoid. All whites are caucasoid, not all caucasoids are white. Despite many Jews having European admixture, they are a Semitic people, and their homeland is in the Middle East. Furthermore, they have shown themselves to be the most destructive anti-white force to have ever existed on this planet. That alone should disqualify them from living in our societies.

Absolute nonsense. Pre-modern European states were the result of conquest and dynastic alliances. Ethnicity was irrelevant. The Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth, the Habsburg Empire, the United Kingdom, Spain (an amalgam of different cultures and languages), Switzerland, the Swedish empire, the Russian Empire. All multi-cultural, multi-faith, multi-lingual states. Ethnonationalism didn't do the Bretons or the Basques much good.
History disproves this. Ethnonationalism was the norm for all European peoples.
Absolute nonsense…
What were the immigration policies of these various states? Did they actively seek to replace their native peoples with foreigners? How long have these various European peoples existed, i.e. the Spanish, Swedes, Russians, English, Poles, etc.? Are you aware that it is possible to belong to multiple levels of ethnicity? For example, a white person in America can be an American, an Alabamian, and a Southerner all at the same time. Are Bavarians German?
Ethnonationalism is a modern and fairly recent idea, a product of liberalism.
Yes, the idea that nations are defined by a shared ethnicity originated with liberalism. Prior to John Locke, countries around the world were multi-racial, multi-ethnic civic nationalist paragons. Lmao!

The attraction comes more from personality than anything else, White women are getting increasingly entitled and are putting off having children in favour of liberating themselves. Many White men find that East Asian women are fairly attractive and have retained their sense of femininity unlike White women who are brash and disgusting wildebeest by the time they are ready to have kids (after spending years in the office 'empowering' themselves by learning new Excel tricks)
No sane white man prefers non-white women to white women
Should I post some pictures of ugly Asians? Most white men pursue Asian women because they think they’ll have a better chance with them. It’s a cope. That or they’re weaboo weirdos with an Asian fetish. Asian women are no more loyal than any other women, and they may actually be less loyal. The Japanese are especially sexually degenerate. Way worse than in the West. Furthermore, the modern white woman (and man) is a product of a completely Jewified society. But good white women still exist, and when paired with a white man, will never produce a stunted half-breed with identity issues and no sense of ethnic belonging. Miscegenation rates are still low enough for it to be obvious that it isn’t natural. And that’s with nonstop race mixing propaganda.

It’s only natural for a white man to want to copulate with normal IQed brown (Latina, Near East, W. Asian, SE Asian) or yellow (NE Asian) women and be attracted to them for sex. Not to be so makes the white guy a form of homo. Not wanting to have sex with females from outside your specific ethnic or racial* group is unnatural. I’m glad to see many white men have discovered the key to life-long happiness, find and marry an Asian woman (just ask Derb). *The only exception is African women, whose radically different biological features, behavior, qualities don’t need to be pointed out here.Replies: @anon, @Jim bob Lassiter, @FvS, @GammaRay
White women generally prefer their own when mating but white men are profligate race mixers from what ive seen (perhaps the same could be said of all men if given the chance? Im not really sure, but in the real world a large number of interracial couples I see are WMXF). I dont know why you say that mixed relations are still very rare, perhaps things are different where you live but where I live mixed relationships are not common but they arent uncommon either.
No sane white man prefers non-white women to white women. Being attracted to another race over your own is akin to a fetish. Either that or they failed to get with their own kind and have to settle for the easy pickings of non-whites. Also, don’t underestimate nonstop race mixing propaganda starting at childhood.

You don't understand white people. White people do not have ethnic interests. Groups of white people have economic and class interests, and will cheerfully screw over other whites to advance their own economic and class interests because they simply cannot conceive of ethnic interests.
the problem that both surrounds us and confounds us: the majority of Whites who simply fail to act in their interests, and even collaborate with outsiders against their ethnic interests.
History disproves this. Ethnonationalism was the norm for all European peoples. It still is for some. The current state of affairs is a recent phenomenon, and the result of Jewish-led brainwashing programs starting at an early age.
