re: #421 The Ghost of a Flea

Okay…but Europeans did invent the form and justification structure for the modern version of being motherfuckers—including the motherfucker-ness of the Japanese, the Nazis, and (I would argue) the Stalinist Soviets—and their version of being a motherfucker resulted in the largest body count motherfuckers have achieved for a very long time, so it’s not contradictory to believe that motherfuckers are a constant of human experience and that the European model of being a motherfucker continues to jab us in out collective kidneys with a screwdriver.

Stage Four cancer is differentiable from Stage Three cancer but the former is predicated on the latter.

Yup. But look at the raw casualty counts in WWII—by far most of the whites were killed by whites, and vastly more non-whites were killed by non-whites. The race/colonial model doesn’t work out.
