I am looking on at this and shaking my head and especially in a day where the Polish Government made it a criminal offence to say their authorities were complicit in national socialist extermination. Tepid and dull pronouncements may be fine for those who neither have head or heart however the issue isn't 'human rights' but how empirical science conjured up the notion of sub-human in order to create a narrative from white skin humans back to gorillas and baboons.

The academic whitewashing is based on inserting ‘social’ before Darwinism but the central theme of Darwin’s ideology ( he wasn’t racist) is social/political distinctions of sub-human as props to suit an evolutionary story back to gorillas and baboons -
“At some future period, not very distant as measured by centuries, the civilised races of man will almost certainly exterminate and replace throughout the world the savage races. At the same time the anthropomorphous apes, as Professor Schaaffhausen has remarked, will no doubt be exterminated. The break will then be rendered wider, for it will intervene between man in a more civilised state, as we may hope, than the Caucasian, and some ape as low as a baboon, instead of as at present between the negro or Australian and the gorilla.” Darwin
The Nazi had convinced themselves they were doing the world a favour by exterminating the untermensch using a contrived academic notion of cultural breeding and indeed many countries exported their Jewish ‘problem’ to these death factories by the same principle.
Any reasonable person expresses revulsion at the extermination of people and I was in Auschwitz this day last year to witness the cold, efficient way the Nazi went about it but I have never known a single person express the same revulsion at where the Nazi got their ideology from nor the whitewashing that went on in academic circles after the war.
“Though the great differences in the mental life and the civilization of the higher and lower races of men are generally known, they are, as a rule, undervalued, and so the value of life at different levels is falsely estimated. … [The] lower races (such as the Veddahs or Australian Negroes) are psychologically nearer to the mammals (apes and dogs) than to civilized Europeans; we must, therefore, assign a totally different value to their lives. … he gulf between [the] thoughtful mind of civilized man and the thoughtless animal soul of the savage is enormous – greater than the gulf that separates the latter from the soul of the dog” Haeckel
Too many airheads here unable to digest what is in front of them yet try to sound grand in their pronouncements. After WWII nobody, not even the Jewish , had the mental strength to question how the notion of sub-human entered through the university system, trickled down into high school education and out into the wider population.
Human rights - what do any of you know about humanity !.
