US military support to Israel over the past two years has cost US taxpayers over $30 billion.
Is it Islam, or diversity?
The Huns and Mongols invaded the West just like Muslims did
It's a genetic construct, weaponized by diversity
@amerika @freepatriot Maybe both? Islam is authoritarian, and tolerates no competitors. It is about physical power and mind power, total submission, of its followers to the religuious clergy.
Diversity is trickier. Mono cultures are very fragile and easily wiped out from an evolutionary perspective.
Just look at the cavendish banana catastrophy.
That is an extreme however. Consider instead the supremacy of Cuban tobacco varietals!
Diversity is toxic. Other things are toxic too. We know of a few like totalitarianism, but it turns out too much anarchy/democracy is toxic also.
@amerika @freepatriot I think, perhaps, what is lethal is artificial diversity. With that I think about when an external force such as a politician, artificially enforces diversity against the will of the organisms making up that "diversity".
Then we have organic diversity, which is natures way of protecting itself by not betting everything on one card.
The organic variety is never forced, it is just a state that might emerge as an adaptive response to nature.
These are false extremes. Gene drift provides the protection you seek, coupled with natural selection. Liberal societies do the latter badly.
Organic diversity is just a nice term for "invasion" or "wife buying."
Hmm, why are they false? Are you saying that external enforcement of diversity, and diversity of nature do not exist?
In nature, there can of course be invasion, but there is also symbiosis, and the food chain, where each and every part depends on the other. Nature is a system of components that depend on each other. Isn't that so?
The false dichotomy: you either have diversity or you are a 200-individual inbred population.
The reality: populations generate their own diversity. Gene drift is very, very powerful. Unchecked by natural selection, it produces incompetence even in HUGE populations.
@amerika @freepatriot Hmm, did I say that? If so, that was not my intention. Nature and natural selection is not binary, there are many shades of grey.
As for you second statement, I agree, and I think we have agreed upon this in the past, that the modern welfare state is a recipe for long term disaster since it removes natural selection from the equation. That leaves us with a "fitness debt" that will slowly crush society unless the unfit to fit ratio is kept below a certain level.
'That leaves us with a "fitness debt" that will slowly crush society unless the unfit to fit ratio is kept below a certain level.'
The problem of the unfit is that they will always require the labor, energy, time, and focus of the fit. They must be managed or at least contained, and that burden passes to the fit.
As far as I can tell, immediate exile is the only solution.
@amerika @freepatriot I think not instituting welfare systems is the key, and putting that responsibility on the families and relatives themselves, and not on the "collective". If an individual wants to do charity work, be my guest... but making that decision on behalf of everyone, makes the charity objects/subjects the kings, and the productive people the slaves.
@freepatriot Just look at it as a contribution to the war on islam. Islam is one of the greatest threats to freedom on this planet, so any activity which reduces it is a good activity!
