Comment on The Not-So-Great Replacement Theory

  I don’t, I hate culture, race and religion used as tools to differentiate between people and to create divide.

  Culture as foundation to build character and actions of single individuals is fine and dandy (same goes for religion, race, uses and costumes, etc.). The same concepts used to determine the innate superiority of a certain group in respect to all the others must be eradicated as quickly as possible.

  Furthermore my previous example was about an Indian, yet you didn’t assume I hated Indians. Are you an Indian hater yourself? Or, would I have used an European being born in Saudi Arabia as an example, would you have assumed I hate Europeans?

    You provide so many bad faith arguments it would take far too long to address all of them. I went with your most recent because it was the most recent. if you want me to review all your nonsense ask nicely and I’ll consider it.

      Oh please wise man from the soap mountain, tell me how culture is not a false concept equal to heritage or race when used to define a certain group of people as being better than any other. I surely cannot think of past heads of states using race to justify their horrendous actions against other nations, we have no doubt only fought wars for culture in our history!!

      Same old, same old, when confronted with an argument you cannot address always go for “there’s too much work to do and I’m too lazy to do it so I’m leaving the discussion while pretending I’m right”.

      Never play chess with a pigeon, it will scatter the pieces on the board, shit around and walk around with his puffed chest as he won the game

        “when used to define a certain group of people as being better than any other.”

        There is another bad faith tactic you are using. You keep appending that on to fit the scenario you want. Race and culture are different things. They can influence each other but they are different. Both shape identity but that doesn’t mean that either most inherently inform a person that they are better than someone with a different race or heritage. Has it often been used that way in the past, yes, but it’s not inherent to the notions of race and heritage.

        Your examples paint you as awfully convinced that foreigners are completely incapable of integrating into a new society. That’s pretty bigoty. People can participate in multiple cultures. They can pick and choose and blend them.

        “It’s like saying that Chinese immigrants to Europe will be European because they live the European culture”

        So is the conclusion you come to that they will never be European? They will always be foreign?

        You shit on the chess board a little prematurely.
