Hitler as the face of evil : Comments
By Mamtimin Ala, published 21/6/2024When Hannah Arendt observed Adolf Eichmann at a trial in Jerusalem in 1963, she was aghast at witnessing an average German individual, a bureaucrat, appearing so ordinary and speaking so persistently to defend his position.

But if 'the alpha chimp' is too aggressive they'll end up dead when two betas ambush him. Enlightened self interest.
"CM wrote: "Answer- Whenever two cultures meet... perhaps a form of genocide and racism and bias is occurring."
Agree with the last two but why that should led to genocide is unclear to me. "
Answer- Bias could be said to be a form of cultural prejudice against another culture- in woke terminology a 'micro-aggression'- over time this bias grows weight and becomes a lever to marginalize and then destroy the culture. Sometimes the culture is ideological or it can be ethnic or otherwise. According to the UN definition you don't have to actually kill people to act genocidally. Some have said for example that taking away territory is a form of genocide.
There are many interesting tactics used in politics and bureaucracy to do something while claiming to be doing something else. The OSS had The Art of Simple Sabotage.

This text talks about expanding project briefs and decision bodies to increase complexity and derail organizations (sounds similar to multiculturalism used to destroy cultures- mostly white anglo culture- but they won't be the last culture destroyed under the rubrick of fairness and equality).
My comments compared 'Clausewitz's warlike nature of all beings' with the concept of universal bias. ie- everyone is biased- bias is a form of war- and war is a form of genocide.
But wars are sometimes- maybe often- justified.
Many woke concepts such as multiculturalism far from being "a means of creating stability and peace" is designed rather "to create instability and conflict" so that some can exploit the chaos.
On the other hand stability is created by reducing complexity by putting borders between adversaries.
Even the strong benefit from borders in a shifting world- as strength can quickly become weakness- wisdom needs to consider enlightened self interest.
