Congratulations - you've been beating around that bush for quite some time now (rather transparently), it's good to have you come out and say it.  Do tell - which race have you decided will survive?  And how do you plan to finish off the others?  What rubbish.  Read the link Nick posted above, and see how hard "the others" will work to survive - think they'll roll over so easily?  

If you think that racism will save you, you may consider me your enemy.

Twilight, do you think Theodore Herzl was a racist and would-be genocideur? That is what you imply. Did he "plan to finish off the others"? If not, then why am I those things for  wanting to emulate him? [I know why. Will you say it?]

I'm going to give you the benefit of the doubt. I don't think you really mean all that stuff about WNEF. Your probably an ok guy underneath it all. You know that kind of thing is really not the anwer to our problems. Not Peak Oil and not the population question. The world is just too complicated and hard to control to believe in such ideological simplicity. And please don't think I'm attempting to patronize you, I not. I'm just trying to understand you.

writerman, people have always used times of major upheaval to further whatever agendas they already had.  The idea of having the constraints of society's limitations loosened has all sorts of bats flying out of the belfry.

You pushed one of my buttons. Herzl was not a racist, he was not into genocide, and more specifically, he was not the kind of real estate developer that stole the Palestinian's land and marked it up to sell to Jewish immigrants.
Herzl believed and advocated a Jewish state that was urban and that did not steal land from Arabs, and didn't steal their water, either. He was intent on letting the Arabs have the land, the water, the pasture, the fishing industry, and any minerals that turned up. He wanted to build a Singapore, not an Israel.
Which is why he and the rest of the German Zionists were purged by the Russian Na-Zionichki in 1904 or sometime, and lost control to the steal the land and run off the natives fruitcakes running Israel now.
He wrote "Altneustadt" (literally "oldnewstate") about what he thought Israel should be like. Read it sometime, if you can find it.

By the way, I fail to understand how I have beating around the bush -- is it possible that you haven't read my posts? I think that the phrase "white nationalist ecofascism" is not all that subtle. And yes, I do consider you my enemy, and I am happy to have matters between us so refreshingly clear.

White Nationalist Ecofascism, somehow I think not. I'd prefer to put my bet on Brown Internatinalist Socialism. That is of course if I had to choose.
