There's little to no harm done in genocide towards the perpetrator materially.

Sure, we just wiped out the globe from everyone in that region, but how does that harm the perpetrators?

They are harmed for three reasons.

First of all such behaviors can easily result in global hatred towards the perpetrators. Nobody knows whether they are the next to be genocided so everybody is better off if they simply join forces and get rid of the unpredictable genocide perpetrators.


But surely, if might is right, it only means we need to be the strongest country in the world before we start genociding, which ensures nobody will touch us.

Unless of course you also happen to be wrong about killing people only being bad if it is not profitable.

Yes. I addressed that as well in the modified post.

They are terrible in general as they have been a very great target to YouTubers debunking them left and right... That really says something.

Your second and last lines of reasoning are moral views. :)

I will cut off our discussion here because it is bordering on threadjack already. But like I said, you were just going to rationalize and justify your view as right even if I happen to be right, and I wasn't wrong. I'll leave you to reflect on what we discussed, because I just boxed you on your own set of views.

As an Israeli, I don't believe it's just because of the Jews and it's about all the awesome people we got here, not just Jews.

Awesome!

IQ is not a horrible way to measure intelligence because it predicts racial differences well. Ashkenazis are at the top and blacks and Australian Aborigines are at the bottom.

I'm an HBDer.

You do know that this is extremely similar to the Nazi idea that Ayrans are at the top due to some vague, highly suspect, and pseudoscientific reasoning while everyone else is at the bottom

No. It's called "Why nothing is immoral including genocides because morality does not exist and why genocides are still awful despite the absence of morality".

Nazis banned IQ tests because Jews did so well. Hence antisemitism is absurd while HBD is factual.

If you mean the H3H3 stuff... yeah, they did a pretty good job of showing one of the worst things about Buzzfeed: they are generally awful at social commentary. Which kind of makes sense: they want to be woke, or at least appear woke, but if they went really woke they'd have to talk about some really serious, deep, structural stuff and they'd probably end up going FULL COMMUNISM, and we can't have that happen to a corporate and liberal outlet. So they're stuck talking about the most shallow and insignificant "social issues" imaginable (like "manspreading").

That's not a moral view. Instead it is a pragmatic one. The main problem with omnicides is that nobody knows when it will end. Eventually it may bite the perpetrators themselves.
