    Culture Anti-Semitism and Collective vs. Individual Guilt

    Thanks. And yeah, that is a good concept. No, it isn't. US are shit at handling racial diversity, but pretend they are great at it because until late 1900s the only meaningful diversity was between various European ethnicities, who rather easily melted together due to commonalities in culture...

    Culture Anti-Semitism and Collective vs. Individual Guilt

    Interesting. Know any examples? True. Worse than that: it leads to misidentifying the true cause of the problem, as I had stated here. Jews simply have the misfortune that they had been the oldest and most noticeable ethnic minority in Europe. Problem aren't the Jews, problem is diversity...

    Culture Anti-Semitism and Collective vs. Individual Guilt

    That is why I said "extreme individualism of libertarian stripe". Tolkien for example was libertarian yet still believed in ethno-states.

    Culture Anti-Semitism and Collective vs. Individual Guilt

    While technically true, you also have to consider that these two things are not unconnected. Excess to one side can easily lead to excess to the opposite side - think of a cytokine storm in human immune system. Extreme individualism of libertarian stripe for example would, due to advocation of...

    Culture Anti-Semitism and Collective vs. Individual Guilt

    I agree that guilt shouldn't be collectively assigned and that predicting behavior isn't the same, but too often first will be used to dismiss the second. Individualism and collectivism are both bad when taken to extreme. Collectivism is more dangerous (especially in the short run), but extreme...

    Culture Anti-Semitism and Collective vs. Individual Guilt

    Thing is that people are neither and both at the same time. When you get a group of people, they will do stuff that individuals will never have attempted. In Bosnia and Croatia, before the war, you would think that countries were idyllic multi-ethnic paradises... once you ignored all the...

    Culture Anti-Semitism and Collective vs. Individual Guilt

    What nation? The entire reason why Yugoslavia fell apart was because Serbia refused to accept any talks about greater autonomy of the republics, or any suggestion that Serbia shouldn't be privileged, and in fact Milosevic removed national/ethnic representatives of Voivodina, Montenegro, Kosovo...

    Culture Anti-Semitism and Collective vs. Individual Guilt

    Problem is this: When you look at what some Jewish (and of course Serb) organizations in Croatia write, you'd get impression Croats are the scum of the Earth who deserve to get genocided because we are all of course Ustashi. And then they get medals for spreading hate. So yeah.

    Culture Anti-Semitism and Collective vs. Individual Guilt

    Collectivism is neither inherently left-wing nor inherently right-wing. Rather, difference is in the way it appears. Right-wing community is a historical, organically formed society - that is, ethnicity - which is held together by "grassroot" elements of shared origin, culture, history and...

    Culture Anti-Semitism and Collective vs. Individual Guilt

    Not just in the US. Serbs did everything they could to try and destroy Croatia, literally every since we saved them from Bulgarian tsar Simeon. Biggest mistake we've ever made. And yes, "everything they could" included leftism. Look at profiles of all leading Croatian Communists: they were...

    Culture Anti-Semitism and Collective vs. Individual Guilt

    He is not entirely wrong, though. Minorities do tend to be disproportionately leftist / psychopathic / insane. That is simply what happens when you are uprooted from your ground - nothing weird about it. And who are the most recognizable and generally successful minority in the West? In...
