If you recognize that racial supremacy goes hand-in-hand with the imperialistic expansionism of Nazi Germany and Japan, I think it's fairly apt descriptor of one of the major causes of the war.


bait and switch


Are you seriously denying that Nazis were motivated by ideology of racial supremacy?


The parent assertion was "White supremacy was the cause for the worst wars of the 20th century"...

gaogao switch the convo to "racial supremacy". Not to say that it doesn't have something to do with wars of the 20th century.

It might even be seen that by making this switch and excluding non-imperialistic wars, we would be minimizing the atrocities and war crimes committed in Africa and the rest of the third world against native populations.

> Are you seriously denying that Nazis were motivated by ideology of racial supremacy?

I'm not even going to acknowledge this statement. How on earth did you made this cognitive leap?
