“Zionism is fascist because it is the tip of the spear of #European, western, #white #supremacist #racialism, #SettlerColonialism, & #Imperialism in the current conjuncture. But it is not unique in that regard. In the context out of which it emerged and of which it is a product – European civilizational supremacism, driving colonialism and imperialism – it is no surprise that Zionists admired and emulated fascism and continue to do so”

@[email protected]“Despite the mutual admiration between Zionists and fascists, they are usually seen as separate political movements. However, when viewed through the lens of Western racism, colonialism, and imperialism, the connections become clear”

When will proponents of scientific racism and eugenics understand that the number of children produced by an individual is an objective measure of fitness unlike "intelligence", "creativity", "culture", and "technology"?

Natural History of Ashkenazi Intelligence is a paper published by "human biodiversity" proponent Gregory Cochran, anthropology student Jason Hardy and white nationalist Henry Harpending which "elaborates the hypothesis that the unique demography and sociology of Ashkenazim in medieval Europe selected for intelligence." It appears to be an hereditarian attempt to find "scientific" evidence for racist beliefs about race and intelligence. The paper was published in 2006 in the Cambridge University Press' Journal of Biosocial Science. The Journal of Biosocial Science had been renamed from The Eugenics Review in 1969 at the time that Cambridge University Press began publishing the journal.

Natural History of #Ashkenazi Intelligence (NHAI) is a paper published by "human biodiversity" proponent Gregory Cochran, anthropology student Jason Hardy and white nationalist Henry Harpending which "elaborates the hypothesis that the unique demography and sociology of Ashkenazim in medieval Europe selected for intelligence." It appears to be an hereditarian attempt to find "scientific" evidence for racist beliefs about race and intelligence. The paper was published in 2006 in the Cambridge University Press' Journal of Biosocial Science. The journal had been renamed from The Eugenics Review in 1969 at the time that Cambridge University Press began publishing the journal.
NHAI presents an untested and unproven hypothesis, which was nevertheless promoted by mainstream media, via proponents of hereditarianism, especially New York Times columnist Nicholas Wade and Harvard professor Steven Pinker.

Edward Osborne (E. O.) Wilson was an American biologist, zoologist, naturalist, ecologist, and entomologist, known for developing the field of #sociobiology, the primary forerunner of evolutionary psychology. Wilson also pioneered the field of island biogeography.
Wilson was well-known and almost universally loved and admired. In the introduction to the PBS documentary about Wilson, he was described as "one of America’s greatest living thinkers". The Sarasota Herald-Tribune called him "A Hero of the Planet." Leonardo DiCaprio tweeted that he was "the Darwin of the 20th Century." But more controversially, Wilson supported some racialist ideas that live on in the modern-day so-called human biodiversity movement, and some have long claimed Wilson's sociobiology amounts to #hereditarianism and biological determinism.

#Racialism (often "scientific racism" or "race realism" by its adherants) is the idea that humanity can be easily divided into well-defined biological categories ("races") that are both broad and clearly-defined. Racialism implies that these races are substantially physiologically different from each other and that these racial differences strongly determine the abilities and behavior of individuals and peoples.
This #pseudoscience is technically not the same as #racism, which is the belief that one or more of these various groups is "superior" or "inferior" to one or more others, usually in some vague, undefined way. But while racism and racialism are distinct concepts, their respective adherents do overlap a lot more than either would have you believe.
Racialism first developed in the 1700s. It remained virtually unchallenged until the 1930s-1960s, when genetics showed it to be erroneous.
