Taxonomy is indeed arbitrary, but cladistic analysis isn’t. A clade is not an arbitrary grouping of animals, but represents a real thing - an organism and all of its descendants. In fact, cladistic analysis is the only non-arbitrary way of classifying organisms, which is why it’s almost exclusively used nowadays.
This is because ‘race’ is a social construct - it is employed for social reasons in a rather arbitrary manner by all sorts of people for all sorts of reasons.
The reason it matters to the National Socialists is because they want to build a political movement and seize power from the enemy as they kill off the enemy based on this fiction that all white race people have to have a sense of destiny and racial solidarity to create some ideal white race only society. A Master Race where the issues with human beings are eliminated because the threat is DIFFERENCE.
Or some such shitty theory.
He did not know about clades because he said in another bad post to another poster that science is just observation. That is all. What you see with your eyeballs is truth.
Lol. Man, that idea of what science is was thrown out a long long time ago.
They want to classify people for intelligence, cognition, abilities according to race. A specific Aryan or Nordic race that is the ideal in the Gunther document given out to the Hitler Youth. You have the ideal and then you have the not ideal. Everyone who is not that race.
The problem then is how to eliminate the threat of other races with other tendencies that might destroy your ideal breeding society? That is what got the Nazis into creating genetic experiments based on California Eugenic racist stuff from the USA, who also loved the idea of Master Race stuff.
Mass sterilizations of people with genetic defects, mental illness problems, people with bipolar disorder, people who had some inherited diseases. They became mass murderers in their quest for genetic perfection.
Then they wonder why so many of their own 'European' based race do not want to join them. Why would anyone want to join a sect dedicated to mass murderng people due to defect or having some percentage of genes that is not considered racially pure enough? Most of them are losers. They never have PhDs from some heavy duty scientific backgrounds. None of them. Most of them have a hard time getting through college. Their only claim to fame is being white and screaming about white genocide in a nation that is majority white and in a nation with jobs and money flowing compared to nations who have serious problems with infrastructure and in which free community college does not exist.
They have it easy and all the advantages but want to say they are victims and moan because they do not want to admit that the reason the Nazis are not a majority mainstream party in the USA is its PAST is terrible. Crimes galore. Well documented. Ovens, gas chambers, torture, starvation, labor camps forced, killing children, babies, experimenting on twins, experimenting on people using unethical methods. Being cruel, being inhumane, and being invaders looking for land they could occupy because again Germany did not have all the resources to fulfill their ambitions by staying within their sphere. They wanted hypercolonialism and they wanted to control and have power. Kill off the competition. And take over.
Ruthless and ultimately failed at every goal.
They created the lack of enthusiasm for their political philosophy. Race does not magically equate solidarity and altruism.
It never occurs to them that caring, and respect, sharing and working together with many and not being discriminatory and instead being accepting of difference wins you a lot more support over time. In most human societies. Variation is never going away. Your attitude towards differences is or should be about being accepting. Not rejecting people over shit they have no control over like their outward appearance.
