Not a bad philosopher, either.

It all started with the thread about colonics and cleansing of the digestive tract, (to put it delicately). That thread started a movement.

These forums are frequented by a large minority of tight assed white people obsessed with purity of...thought, of race, of religion. Their xenophobia extends from their bowels into the far reaches of exotic locales. As much as they worry about their potential for harbouring tapeworms, so do they worry about the planet providing shelter for human "parasites".

It would be funny if this kind of thinking wasn't potentially so deadly.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('perdition79', 'I') think the Neo-Nazis enjoy the idea of Peak Oil as an opportunity. History repeating itself, as it were. The Nazis were able to rise to power as a result of the economic destruction WWI brought upon Germany. Peak Oil will be a more massive and thorough societal destruction than the Weimar hyperinflation was, and the resulting chaos will enable the disillusioned masses to listen to whatever voice happens to be promising better times ahead. Back then, that voice was the Nazis. It worked back then, so the Neo-Nazis probably figure it's worth another try.

Yep, Peak Oil is going to be time to all get medieval on each other.

There's just so much pent up hostility. As for me, I'm going to finish off the bonobos, LOL. The jungle is the property of PAN F'ING TROGLODYTE, warrior monkey. Bonobos are stealing the oxygen!

Been giving this issue a bit more thought. Like it or not, there are genetic differences between races, and intelligence is at least partly influenced by genetic factors. All the PC histrionics in the world will not change that fact.

Peak oil is a complex issue that apparently requires better than average cognitive function to comprehend with any depth (as most of us who have tried explaining it to others have likely noticed), and tho' of course there are always individual exceptions, I think it's pretty obvious why an apparently large percentage of PO visitors have separatist leanings.

It generally takes better than average intelligence to understand why forcing integration upon people who don't want to be integrated is a bad idea as well. Unfortunately, many don't grok that there is a difference between hate (or more accurately, fear) - based separatism and separatism based on an understanding of the issues involved.

Of course other factors play significant roles.

But the fact remains that IQ is a good predictor of success in school across large groups of applicants. Folks with high IQs tend to do well, and folks with low IQs don't do so well.

Thats why colleges require SAT tests and grad schools required GREs etc.
The general tests are IQ tests----and are usually more reliable then the inflated grades given today to determine who is talented and who isn't.

If you don't know your own IQ, take your SAT scores, add them together and divide by 10. For instance, if you scored perfect 800s, then your total is 1600...divide by 10 gives an IQ of 160 (i.e. a genius level IQ three standard deviations above the mean). If you scored 500s, then your IQ is 100 (average) and you aren't going to get into MENSA.

CHEERS!

White supremacists embrace peak oil because when it's effects are in full force, it will be the trigger event that brings down what they view is a decadent society that deserves to be destroyed. Access to cheap energy is making everyone more "liberal" and even allowing foreigners (not white) to live amongst them.

Every advance in regards to "human rights" can be attributed to advances in technology and discovery of energy sources. The industrial revolution brought the abolishment of slavery. White collar jobs in large cosmopolitan centers (which employ many women) would be physically impossible without the automobile and the transportation infrastructure.

The white supremacist movement is frustrated by the apathy displayed by other whites who know they're being arse-raped with affirmative action quotas and 24/7 diversity propaganda, but they're still relatively comfortable compared to their ancestors who were nothing more than serfs a few centuries earlier. Bread and circuses keeps the white rabble in tow, so to speak.

The fragile multicultural utopia is held together by fossil fuels. When the manure hits the fan, the whole diversity house of cards comes tumbling down. Racial tensions (ala Rodney King riots) will explode and whites will either (A) submissively surrender while getting their throats cut or (B) toughen up, "wake up" from their slumber and fight back.

Personally, when there's competition, the general trend is for animals to get more intelligent. I think the winners in the future, if any humans survive, will be a nice muddy color, and an amalgamation of what works from a large number of races.
