Review: endgame volume 2 chapter 3

BLOG POST posted on February 11, 2011 by rodgerlevesque

Blog posts are the work of individual contributors, reflecting their thoughts, opinions and research.

In the chapter entitled "Importance" we learn that Jensen doesn't equate civilization with species. The argument he's making is not fulled entirely by misanthropy or racism.

Reviewing a book chapter by chapter, sometimes this happens. I don't really know what to make of this section. Is this just, and I say just, but the threat I'm sure is real, a way of shaking off the racists, windbags, nihilist people haters, conspiracy theorists who would be attracted to the idea of taking civilization down?

Because in prefering the indegenous over civilized, Jensen flirts with race. He flirts with eugenics. Because race isn't just hatred of those outside, but the impure element within the race. Jensen has given talks, a lot of talks. I've been to enough to know, that someone in the crowd will stand up and criticize one race for breeding too much. Here he's addressing, more dismissing, "do something, or shut the hell up" those who think the problem is breeding (racists).

It's an interesting story about the racist who shuts the hell up. But it's probably not a good idea to think the racists have been dealt with. We're probably going to be discussing the problem again later.
