The irony is that Judaism is a major world religion and not a race! I wonder

actually they are sort of both
they are tribe somewhat maintaining its own culture
and a degree of genetic isolation within larger populations

not isolated enough to be a subspecies
but neither are they are completely integreated

chinese in asian countries outside of china
also maintain some cultural and genetic isolation within larger population

how many of Hitler's "Jews" were Atheists, Agnostics, Baha'is, Catholics,
Protestants, etc. only sharing a familial tie or crude Semitic resemblance?

religions like christianity or buddhism ceased to be tribal religions
(just like english or spanish ceased to be language of one culture)
so they are no longer markers of anything but themsleves

It is mind-boggling how ignorant a people can be when so collectively angry
that they need a shared "enemy" just to cooperate with eachother, or so
desperate to raise money for a "cause" that they'll consider anything...

it is quite common for politicians to create an enemy to scare people
and then present themselves as saviors from these enemies
in the usa think injuns red scare commies narcoterrorists homos
illegal aliens (which are always only mexicans) islamists terrorists
etc

With fascists, I think the issue is neither religion nor race, but minority
exploitation. If Mussolini's take on fascism is anything to go by (complete

it has been done by many many politicians in many many countries

Only this kind of economy is not sustainable because the fascists
effectively butcher and cook the magic goose after stealing the last golden
egg and so they must pillage the next wealthiest minority - and on and on it

its not done for economic reasons - the gain is miniscule

its done to control population
scare the **** out of them
panic them
then open a gate for them to stampede throughout
too panic stricken to look or think or realize its into an abattoir

think usa 2004 elections
shrubs entire campaign was that if a democrat was elected
terrorists would run rampant in the usa killing thousands
and he was aided by timely threat from al qaeda in october

two years later nothing significant has changed
except the panic in the popilation subsided
and today people wouldnt elect him to dog catcher

friends of george have gotten incredibly rich in the last six years
not by robbing moslems or mexicans
but by having control they have been able to funnel most business profits
into their own pockets instead sharing them with a larger population
thats been more worried about being bombed
than whether their children have health care

In the case of Hitler I believe that his physical attributes alone would
have made him a "Jew" in the eye's of his fellow Nazis had he not been
"great leader" & that had Hitler not been "great leader" I believe he too

actually people who start these campaigns
are always sure to include clear definite markers to discriminate on
in germany they used clearly documented genealogies
(reagardless of whether the genealogies had anything to do with reality)
that way the general populaton does not worry about being a target
and they can clearly identify who is the target

if its obvious who is looks jewish
you would not need yellow stars as a marker

currently in the usa we are supposed to be panicing over -illegal aliens-
so how do you identify one?
americans are so heterogenous theres no clear physical marker
what politicians have siezed upon is langugage
many parts of the countries until recently were english only
so now if someone speaks spanish they must be mexican and they must be illegal

so listen to people talk about illegal aliens and how dangerous they are
and you will hear this goes in lockstep with complaints about using spanish

The lesson of fascism and fundamentalism is simple; Beliefs centred on
personal integrity are fine, but "causes" cited for the purpose of

actually its not about -fundamentalism- christian or moslem
atheists as atheists piled impressive body counts in the cultural revolution

what happens is a politician frequently needs
to convince people to act against their own rational best self interests
so they look for an emotional trigger
to get people in an emotional state where they are no longer rational
and they can be convinced to act against their own best interests
(panicing people into a directed stampede is one form of this)

for example study wars fought by nations
a truly defensive war can be in rational best self interest
because even if the individual dies their genes and cultures can survive
but since soldiers stopped getting booty
theres little profit in the risk to individual soldiers in offensive war

so instead young men have to be fed some line of bull****
to get them to do something stupid like join the army
and die miserably for the profit of neither themselves nor their families
but for the profit of people already rich and safe from danger

so thats when manipulating emotional triggers becomes important
many states devote considerable resources embedding triggers in chldren
telling them about the motherland the fatherland the workers of the world
mom and apple pie the collective unconsciousness etc
saluting flags or drilling on playgrounds or wearing red kercheifs etc

then when the time comes pull the trigger
get the young men hot and angry and turn off self-preservation
and the young women bouncing their breasts promising mating opportunities
and you can get an army ready to die for nothing for themselves
just the power and profit of small economic elite

examine past wars and their propaganda
and also examine the lasting impact of the wars
most wars solve nothing and are forgotten within a generation
even though each war is presented as the final armageddon
between civilization (our side) and the forces of hell itself (their side)

...Cliché or no, communities cannot afford to forget that more than 60
million human beings including 6 million "Jews", and 5 million people from
other minority groups were murdered during WWII at the hands of persons
acting for a "cause" over and above their own personal integrity.

germans were able to apply industrial revolution techniques
to a time honored tradition
so the numbers were unusually high
(as were those of the ussr with its own industrialized pogroms)
but otherwise the concept is older than carthage

axes are more labor intensive so the rwandan massacre was smaller
but that was due to technique not intent
