david f,

What would you do about Australia's invasive species: foxes, rabbits, cane toads, Chinese.

Dear Mr Opinion,

Comparing human beings to invasive species is Nazi talk.

davidf,
it is reading too many of Paul's posts !

A point of interest;
The wood chips used for electricity generation are shipped from the
US forests to the coast and then by sea to Europe.
In the co2 calculations they are considered to be renewables.
Hmmm.

Dear Mr Opinion,

Unlike the English who came to Australia and took over the land of the people who were already here, massacred them, used them as cheap labour, separated them from their land and put them in missions where the English imposed an alien culture and religion on them the Chinese are coming in peace. They work, buy land, vote, serve in parliament and add to the cultural diversity that is current Australia. We Australians are richer for having them here. Possibly, you can learn to appreciate them.

The Chinese had a sophisticated culture when the English were painting themselves blue and worshipping trees. They had printing several centuries before Gutenberg.

tells about the many contribution to science and technology made by the Chinese civilization. Possibly, the Chinese will make a greater contribution to knowledge in Australia than any other ethnic group.

"Kant writes of our a priori knowledge, that which we have built in. We add to this knowledge from experience. Empiricism is a concept which has largely been abandoned as it alone is limited as an explanation of knowledge."

Answer-

Thanks for your comments David F. There is a subtle difference between Empiricism and Empirical just as there is between Science and Scientism. There is also the discovery of male and female brain structure in mice.

Answer-

I don't think Mr Opinion is a Nazi. But I do think he probably baited you.

Mr Opinion is using an analogy- he isn't saying that Chinese should be wiped out.

You could argue that the Nazi's used similar words in their propaganda like the accusations currently in the US and using the propaganda technique of "guilt by association". Calling someone a Nazi is another propaganda technique.

If the Chinese invade then they are invasive.
An invasive species is one that is brought into an ecosystem and quickly dominates that ecosystem.

Invasive definition is - tending to spread especially in a quick or aggressive manner.

I guess you could argue that Chinese people are not a "species".

Some view many things through the lense of WWII and of course for some this is natural.

Not everyone is a Nazi or a Devil.
