nation seeking to preserve their cultural and ethic essence are nationalists nations... food for thoughts : https://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/Nationalism
a random quote to make my point :
```
Nationalism is an infantile disease. It is the measles of mankind. - Albert Einstein
```
@Alibaba o u really r a cheeky one
@Towelie blah, Einstein was a dumy head :^)
sure thing...
there's one country that comes to mind when you think about extreme nationalism
it's north korea.
they go all the way and try to be auto suffisant. It's cool, until civilian dies of hunger because of the famine
I think we need to distinguish between juche extremism with my desired form of nationalism
I do distinguish between both, it's was just a living example of what nationalism could do if you go into extremes
a lot of pro-nationalism people complains about the globalisation, factories delocalisation to other countries, etc
And a living example of my effective form is literally the fact of the beautiful diversity of cultures, races and ideas all around us.
that's a first step in that direction
There's a nuance for the word race that doesn't seem to be applied in english.
for me, a race is defined for domestical and agricultural animals only
I talk about genotypes and ethnic groups for humans
Slippery slope bub, I'm not arguing for hyper protectionism, and the threat of that mentality developing is eh at bet
I disregard moral sentiments
scientifically, that word is wrongly used in english though as the difference in genotypes and phenotypes isn't enough to warrant a separted race
plus, a race is the biology name for a group of animal that can reproduces between them
for me, if the word race could be used for humans, there would be only one race, the human one
but that's a detail
That's a linguistic issue which norm person probably doesn't care for, and doesn't really have much to do with my desire to preserve ethnic groups, unless you're making that argument that the differentiation is so small that we shouldn't acknowledge race
that was the point yeah
I agree with difference in cultures and ideas, not in races
but as you said, it's a linguistic issue
which is a fair point but I think that differentiation is more significant than what people think. Race is tied to culture pretty strongly, and it doesn't take long at all for a neurological state for a lineage to change based on external pressure.
after all, Ashkenazi IQ increased an average of 30 points in only several centuries
depends a lot, you can't tell how someone from a certain ethnic group was educated
and Ashkenazi iQ is in the double digits higher than other Jewish ethnic groups in Israel
almost all politicians in Israel are Ashkenazi, so I think denying race as insignificant is silly dum dum
and all that was based on averages on a selected group of people
it's not representative of every single person of the said group
correct, outliers is a beautiful thing, which makes it so Thomas Sowell can exist
but median is median
as I said, that median was calculated on a reduced number of the said group
