I think this whole subject is victim to way to much detail, there is no way in any way shape or form the holocaust can be seen as natural selection, the holocaust was choice, not neccesity, therefore it is literally nothing like evolution. anyone who compares the two should be taken to aushwitz, locked up and given some 'evolution time'

"there is no way in any way shape or form the holocaust can be seen as natural selection"

Of course not, it was artificial selection, something farmers had used for millennia.

"riiiiight, you mean farmers with crops yeah?"

Yes, farmers with crops and cattle. Where do you think the terms "culling the herd" comes from?

the jews were largely transported from central europe to Palestine and America from 1933 to 1939 which was prior to WW2. By June of 1939 only 2.2 million jews remained in all of central europe of which 2.1 million survived WW2. Jewish leaders and Hitler signed the "transfer agreement" in 1933 which began the deporation of 1.2 million jews to Palestine and 8 million jews to America during the 1930s. The "final solution" was the deportation agenda and not any sort of extermination agenda.

The Holocaust had nothing to do with evolution or evolutionary theory.

Hitler killed the Jews for deeply psychological reasons, revolving around his belief that Jews were unwilling to sacrifice themselves in battle (as the "Ayran" was). Since German soldiers were dying in massive numbers in war, Hitler felt that Jews had to die too to "balance things out."

See my book, "NATIONS HAVE THE RIGHT TO KILL: Hitler, the Holocaust and War."

Great post. You know I never thought about it that way, but when people here in the U.S. say stupid things like "Christianity is the majority so we clearly should make laws to represent what we believe" and follow it up with worse "hey it's natural selection... Isn't that what you believe in!" Sad it is so emphatically wrong yet I have heard this argument. Thanks for posting this vid.
