You're right, your ideology is clouding your judgement. You're arguing against a point I didn't make as if I were a normie.
I didn't even allege that all races were equal, or that there were no genetic differences between races. There has to be, that's one of the reasons people are different colors.
That doesn't change my point that the genetic differences between races are not the sole, or even primary, explanation for the disparity of behaviors.
As I said here, racialism will promote the bio-leninism you hope to avoid with racialism, because you are denying personal responsibility and accountability for change and improvement.
While there are genetic limits to the capabilities of all individuals, the boundaries of those limits are so narrow in the mind of racial determinists that they think all behavior can be determined solely through genetics. This is demonstrably false, and not what any single geneticist would ever argue. Furthermore, there is still a problem with the categorizaiton of race because it is still only an inter-temporal statistical abstraction of mostly self-identifying individuals. It is not a good tool for measuring genetic sub-categories of humans.
And did so for a reason, that is to attempt to make race irrelevant and denigrate its existence as being whatsoever meaningful, out of aforementioned reasons.
And that reason is because race is a terrible stand in for genetics because it doesn't even involve genetics, and is a statistical abstraction created mostly by the cultural perspective of different countries. Don't talk to me about the importance of genetics in a conversation about an intertemporal abstraction that involves different genetic groups, ethnicities, and is tied together by religions & languages.
Causal determinism is, in my view, the most reasonable approach to our existence (how it functions); I don't believe in free will, as commonly understood. It's also one of reasons why the notion of "voluntary trade" collapses, along with individualism, etc, but not the primary reason obviously. That, in no way whatsoever, negates personal "responsibility and accountability," and if it did it'd speak more about the ideology and politics that came to that conclusion, and less about reality of it.
Posh. It seems to me that your concept of Causal Determinism is basically another way of saying "Deconstructing Individuality". It's the intentional attack of individualism by rhetorical warfare. "If I can argue that something in environment contributed to you making a decision, then you didn't make the decision". It's the reversal of the deconstructionist argument on the concept of White Culture: "White Culture doesn't exist because I can argue that anything actually stems from something else, therefore nothing is inherently White, and therefore White Culture doesn't exist... ... ... until I redefine it as genocidal, psychopathic, theft".
You liked the weapon, you just didn't like what it was pointed at. All "Applied Post-Modernist" philosophical strains work like this.
It's a form of extended family, with many forms of it existing, including broader ones.
Garbage.Religion is a better allusion to an extended family unit then race is. At least then you can guarantee that you have a shared language and values.
Race isn't even useful enough to compare to the Political Science definition of Nation. And even though that may be an abstraction, it's definitional requirements meet enough of a standard that you know that you are forming a category around a fairly stable or well-identified social community. A race is even more broad, vague, and abstract then that! It's an abstraction of abstractions of abstractions, desperately attempting to smear away the distinctions of utterly dissimilar people through the use of broad-based statistical manipulation.
The concept of an extended social-family system is a clan, not a race. And a clan is far more of a refined category then even an ethnicity is.
