Subjectivism, Hubris Is Rampant In Spenglerian "Decline Of West"
(Apollonian, 19 Jan 19)

James: the dichotomy is at the very metaphysical root of things, regarding whether reality is objective (Aristotle) or not, and then if not objective, is it just subjective, a product of mind/consciousness? Note this issue (objective vs. subjective) is matter of assumption as it cannot be proven.

Thus if reality is objective, logic requires it is DETERMINED in accord w. strict cause-effect, no perfectly "free" will. So now thou see "elite..." is subjectivist, reality being whatever he wants it to be, spouting his usual platitudes and lies as he does.

"Elite..." is also typical yankee who says southern states had no right to secede, that they voluntarily gave-up sovereignty when they signed-on to the "supremacy" of Constitution which made a nation lording it over the enslaved, provincial states. The liar says S. Carolina made war against Union, etc., all the stock lies of establishment scum.

African and it’s many civilizations is in reference to a culture. The fact that said reference to culture and skin color tied to the hip is exactly what Mr. king explicated. I agree if you take a child of any color and raise them in a particular environment they will assimilate, adopt, be formed b y, that culture. A black raised in the US has n o real link to Africa by way of practice. The US is is not uniquely white. In other words, skin color cannot prevent one from being in every way a US citizen. It’s a benign trait. That we have made skin color linked to culture – to repeat – is an error and demonstrated a million times over incorrect.

Oy vey.

Yet another ignorant, hate-filled race denialist making a failed attempt to promote the long discredited “Race is just skin color!” canard.

Plus the worn-out Blank Slate and Magic Dirt tropes, of course.

Do you have any actual evidence to support your patently-ludicrous claim that all known human behavioral traits are 100% environmentally determined, and do not differ in their distribution between groups? Or are your beliefs based solely on blind, unquestioning acceptance of the progressive establishment narrative?

Surely, if you believe that it has been “demonstrated a million times over” that human behavior has absolutely zero genetic component, then you are capable of citing one of those “million times?”
