I’m not sure what other term (besides fascism) I would use to describe what I did. Liberalism espouses a value for democracy, so at first glance it seems strange that would lead to fascism, although liberal democracies have been decried as a sham. How do you define fascism?
But you’re preventing a line of reasoning from being discussed not because of evidence/reasoning, but because of the way it has gone in a certain direction in the past. That doesn’t seem reasonable to me; if there isn’t evidence that the distribution of innate traits is even or randomly distributed it’s not a justified belief. I think this is a case of a slippery slope fallacy.
Simply because there are no superior or inferior races does not mean racial differences don’t exist.
Liberalism is largely justification for capitalism, and has been used to justify colonialism. There’s a difference between the whitewashed idea of liberalism, and what it has been used to justify. Fascism is when a bourgeois state faces crisis, and therefore needs to violently assert itself. It’s the logic of colonialism, but domestic and not international.
As for preventing a line of reasoning, I don’t believe I am, but you are now teetering into race theory. Trying to justify different cultures on genetic differences between people is back to that liberal justification to colonialism.
Liberalism was created to advance bourgeois interests in overthrowing feudalism, and justifying the new capitalist order. It’s tied directly to colonialism.
As for race science, it’s bogus and not a real thing.

But you can find examples of any ideology being used to justify atrocities?
Either there is evidence for random or even distribution, or there is not.

max_thread_depth_ reachedSo there is a bottom.
I’ve done that a few times before, haha.
okay
that’s not what I said, but we’re probably not going to be making progress there.
It’s basically where you’re leading it down, though, trying to place cultural differences on genetics.
