      fd568b07       XPost: talk.politics.libertarian, alt.anarchism, alt.society.anarchy       XPost: alt.activism       From: kevin.strom@revilo-oliver.com              All this talk of root races (really subraces) is interesting, but       one naturally wonders -- did the root races have root races, too? I       suppose they did.              In the big picture -- and it's the big picture that matters most --       a particular type of humanity has evolved in and around Europe, and       we naturally build very similar cultures wherever we go. And we       naturally recognize each other -- and so do those who hate us.              Races are self-defining entities, whether we speak of races of       humans, of lower animals, or even of plants. They defined themselves       long before the advent of science or even reason, and continue to do       so. They do so on an instinctive basis that can be elaborated and       explained by reason and science, but is little affected by them.              I am not saying that analysis and tracing of our roots is not       important -- it is. But knowing whether someone is "mildly       Dinaricised," though it might be important in a eugenic regime of       the future, isn't too relevant to the immediate crisis of survival.       (I also question whether such things can be accurately analyzed from       photographs or measurements of features. There's a lot of natural       variation within families, to say nothing of subraces -- and       mutation must always be taken into account, too.)              If we are psychologically healthy, we feel a sense of kinship and       relatedness and caring for members of our own race, who we can       usually recognize in an instant. That's what's most important.                     Kevin Alfred Strom.       --       http://nationalvanguard.org/       http://kevinalfredstrom.com/              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
