Re: Hitler and natural selection

Therefore, Hitler actually used the ancient agricultural methods of selective breeding to the extreme. He realized that there was too much risk that the breeding program would be thrown off course by unwanted specimens breeding with his studs. He couldn't erect a fence to keep his studs isolated from the runts, so he killed the runts so they wouldn't contaminate the gene pool

I'm not sure about this. The elite - namely the SS - were only allowed to marry after the women had been checked to have the correct physical characteristics, ancestry, ideology and so on. In effect he (well actually Himmler I think) did erect a fence around his studs.

I think he killed the runts to stop them breeding with themselves (no masurbation jokes please

) rather than with his supposed Aryan supermen.

Re: antisemitism

I suppose it arises from the fact that Jews never had a state during the early modern period when the spoils of Europe and elsewhere were being shared out. Exactly the same situation applies to Roma and Kurds.

I'd suggest a big factor is the 'not fitting in' syndrome (not assimilating) for all of these groups. Being identifiably different to the majority has always been an open invitation to be persecuted - this is true at everything from the school playground level to the mass mentality or races, cultures and nations.

In the specific case of the Jews I think they also suffered from being identified as 'the murderers of Christ' - which always seemed odd to me as if they hadn't got the Romans to crucify Jesus there wouldn't be any Christianity.
