White people who openly say that “Diversity is a code word for white genocide” are explicitly stating white people are too weak to survive if they have to compete equally for resources and would literally die out- literally go extinct- without being protected and isolated for their safety.
Y’all white people need to do something about those weak links among you.
It might seem like this argument would work but it doesn’t 😦 I mean, it works against people who are on the fence, but committed white supremacists already have a practiced answer: the white race is always the best and smartest and strongest and whenever they’re not, it’s because traitors on the inside (Jewish people) stabbed them in the back. It’s the same argument Hitler used to rise to power: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stab-in-the-back_myth
This is an incredibly powerful explanatory model if you choose to believe in it. Everything good you do is because you’re naturally good and deserve it: everything bad you do is because an enemy made you do it.
I get that but in all fairness, my point wasn’t to speak to or reason with nazis and white supremacists, but to clarify the butt-puckered fear behind it to the white people who follow me and are called upon in general to use their white privilege to fight white supremacy. Because I know a lot of white ppl who are at least conceptually down for fighting the good fight are actually so obsessed with seeing nazis/kkk members as monsters mad with power (and thus being overly intimidated by them) that they don’t actually see them as the hallucinating cornered rats they are- afraid and screaming out in panic (over nothing) and part of this comes from the fact that people in general have a hard time understanding that humanizing the enemy doesn’t pardon them at all but actually gives insight into their vulnerability.
Like my OP is a statement, I’m not making an argument, not two feet on the ground. I’m literally *telling* white ppl how it is. Nazis, white nationalists, KKK etc, they are white people who are operating on the belief that white ppl can’t handle competition. That in a global world, they cannot survive. They are white people openly explaining the reasons they are obsolete and white people who are *not* them are tasked with handling them first and foremost.
And I am simply saying, straight up, they are obsolete absolute cowards. I’m not saying talk them out of it, I’m not giving a good argument to use, I’m saying it: Racists are the weakest humans. All of their violence is no more or less impressive than the actions of a cornered animal. Their anger towards minorities is a self-created death throe and should be seen as such.
Sorry I replied off of the reblog of your post without checking the notes and seeing that you already addressed it. I’d delete my reblog if tumblr didn’t do the thing it does where it saves the notification anyway. Feel free to ignore it.

It also doesn’t work for the same reason why “so you think you’re the master race but Asians and Jews are inherently smarter?” doesn’t work. They don’t so much see themselves as the best at everything ever as much as the creators of everything wonderful that has existed. They see all the pretty cathedrals in Europe and go “this is the pinnacle of human achievement and we will never get back to anything like it.” They think any intermixing between White and non-White cultures will lead to the end of civilization as we know it. They justify all of this with some really bad evolutionary psychology. It’s all rubbish of course but it’s attractive to people who are willfully ignorant of science and history.
Economists writing about agriculture should be required to pass Agronomy 101 and also basic common sense. Because in just one paper we have the following issues:
Hey Canadians could you just plant 200,000 hectares more corn (maize) next year? That seems like something that would definitely be possible and isn’t constrained by, oh, labor shortages or machinery or the amount of time it takes to buy land or fuck, how much of Canada that could sensibly grow corn is just sitting there idle? Is it more than 2000 km2?
Also: “coarse grains” is a category that (in this case at least) includes maize. In the US, maize absolutely dominates the category. Therefore, the fact that the aggregate price for coarse grains is similar to that of maize is just…….. HOW ALGEBRA WORKS? AND ALSO REALITY? and says nothing about the substitutability between maize and sorghum or barley or whatever!
AND, if prices spike for a year for bad weather, farmers aren’t going to assume that high price will continue forever and so rush out to plant TWO THOUSAND SQUARE KILOMETERS more corn?!
Excuse me while I unhinge my jaw and swallow the entire American Journal of Agricultural Economics.
According to a government report, “Sweet corn is grown in all provinces on close to 20,000 hectares of land, making it the
most extensively planted vegetable in Canada.“
So this asshole wants us to increase our production BY AN ORDER OF MAGNITUDE, because of a fucking MARKET BUBBLE?
(If they consider field corn an acceptable substitute, we have 1.6mil hectares of corn total being grown. That’s still an eighth of the current production.)
The people making the marketing decisions have no understanding of what they are purchasing. This is true in nearly every IT department world-wide. Likely isn’t much different in any department where the managers don’t do the work.
