Wow, what a shocker.

>Why does Pinker insist that European national identity must be civic, based on political values alone, without ever mentioning the ethnic state of Israel with its massive wall and regular deportation of non-Whites and non-Jewish immigrants? At the core of the Enlightenment ideal, he says, is the expectation that one should provide reasons for one’s beliefs. What are Pinker’s reasons for his selective demonization of European identitarians? There is a lot of psychological projection in Enlightenment Now. Pinker projects his own irrational feelings about protecting Jewish identity onto white identitarians, pretending he is the embodiment of Enlightenment ideals, while calling European populists “blatantly irrational” and “tribal,” but never caring to “adduce reasons” as to why populists may want to protect their culture.

Probably because Pinker cares more about what's happening in Europe right now, and thinks his message could help prevent it from getting worse.
Israel's racialism is a more entrenched problem, and is one of many countries in the region that fall short in one way or another. I don't see why he would have any reason to mention Israel specifically.

Perhaps you expected him to mention Israel because you view him in terms of his race, rather than his accomplishments as a human being?

There's a note on that pamphlet that just makes me want to kill myself, tbqh
>[30] Industrial pollution has increased aerosol particles in the atmosphere which are thought to reflect sunlight back into space and seed clouds. If one could somehow turn off global industry tomorrow, this dimming effect would disappear and surface temperatures could rise significantly, almost immediately. This could push feedback mechanisms into place, with massive increases in greenhouse gases being emitted by non-human managed systems. Lovelock says for this reason he thinks we are living in a “fool’s climate” — damned if we do and damned if we don’t. Here I have outlined a very simple (and therefore flawed) picture of a very complex process. For a better stating of the theory, see Meinrat Andreae et al. ‘Strong present-day aerosol cooling implies a hot future’, in, Nature, 30 June 2005. For a more approachable (if simplistic and partially out of date) intro to global dimming watch BBC’s 2005 ‘Global Dimming’ documentary, (www.bbc.co.uk/sn/tvradio/programmes/horizon/dimming_trans.shtml). The masking affect is now widely accepted but its extent is still unknown. For instance in a 2008 study by the Met Office Hadley Centre models showed either a modest or severe increase in heating following a sudden removal of haze. Either way “It is very likely that present-day aerosol cooling is suppressing a major portion of current greenhouse warming.” — Peter Stott et al., ‘Observed climate change constrains the likelihood of extreme future global warming’, in, Tellus B, 60: pp. 76–81, 2008. Among the advocates of purposeful geo-engineering the idea of increasing global dimming by dumping sulphates into the stratosphere seems to be gaining support, oh joy.. It’s worth underlining that by the time you read this much of the science will have been superseded/advanced.

Jews and Israel both have been and still are now a target of discrimination, threats, violence, terrorism... all of their Arab neighbors hate them.
You can't really say the same for either American whites or European nations/countries. It's not really the same situation.

Israel is also multiethnic and has a considerable amount of Arabs, not to mention most of other degenerate stuff that plagues other Western countries.

You should make a case for white/ethno-nationalism without mentioning this supposed double standard, which is a poor argument, because you can't directly compare these things.

I'm not saying Jews dindu nuffin, but I am saying that people who are quick to mention Jews are usually intellectually lazy and/or dishonest. They talk as if defeating the Jews will usher in a new era of white racial consciousness or something. Sorry, it probably won't work.

Well since Pinker wrote that you've had the refugee crises and numbers worldwide are now only going up.
The methodology he uses to justify the whole notion of a "Long Peace" has to leave a lot out. What's he not accounting for? That's the secret to getting the data you want.
What do you even count as a "war-related" death? Military bureaucracies tend to count their own deaths of uniformed combatants [enemy numbers will tend to be fudged to inflate or deflate depending upon context] but civilian fatalities in war tend to outnumber these and are much harder to estimate. Are you taking into account all the deaths after the battle is over (e.g. radiation poisoning, Agent Orange, etc)? Also the point is war since WWII is less about uniformed combatants and the numbers are much more difficult to really get at/count or even where to place the blame.
More people today might not be dying overall but overall quality of life may be decreasing and general suffering may be increasing, there's no good data on quality of life going back centuries but we do know and can see suicide rates have been exploding so that must mean something.

Reminds me of "The Black Book of Communism", anyone that uses the same shoddy methodology to calculate the death toll of capitalism for some reason is never taken that seriously
>Famine killed 7 million people in USA
http://www.pravdareport.com/world/americas/19-05-2008/105255-famine-0/
> “According to the US statistics, the US lost not less than 8 million 553 thousand people from 1931 to 1940. Afterwards, population growth indices change twice instantly exactly between 1930-1931: the indices drop and stay on the same level for ten years. There can no explanation to this phenomenon found in the extensive text of the report by the US Department of Commerce “Statistical Abstract of the United States,” the author wrote.

Since infant mortality is higher in America, than say Cuba, we could calculate all those as preventable deaths over a time span and then compare the differential ratios. And of course millions died in China as a result of famine but how many more died since in India since China got their shit together?

If you need le data for decreasing quality of life take the following into account:

https://www.iflscience.com/health-and-medicine/with-teen-mental-health-deteriorating-over-five-years-theres-a-likely-culprit/all/
>Around 2012, something started going wrong in the lives of teens.
>In just the five years between 2010 and 2015, the number of U.S. teens who felt useless and joyless – classic symptoms of depression – surged 33 percent in large national surveys. Teen suicide attempts increased 23 percent. Even more troubling, the number of 13- to 18-year-olds who committed suicide jumped 31 percent.
>In a new paper published in Clinical Psychological Science, my colleagues and I found that the increases in depression, suicide attempts and suicide appeared among teens from every background – more privileged and less privileged, across all races and ethnicities and in every region of the country. All told, our analysis found that the generation of teens I call “iGen” – those born after 1995 – is much more likely to experience mental health issues than their millennial predecessors.

>Because the years between 2010 to 2015 were a period of steady economic growth and falling unemployment, it’s unlikely that economic malaise was a factor. Income inequality was (and still is) an issue, but it didn’t suddenly appear in the early 2010s: This gap between the rich and poor had been widening for decades. We found that the time teens spent on homework barely budged between 2010 and 2015, effectively ruling out academic pressure as a cause.
>However, according to the Pew Research Center, smartphone ownership crossed the 50 percent threshold in late 2012 – right when teen depression and suicide began to increase. By 2015, 73 percent of teens had access to a smartphone.
>Not only did smartphone use and depression increase in tandem, but time spent online was linked to mental health issues across two different data sets. We found that teens who spent five or more hours a day online were 71 percent more likely than those who spent less than an hour a day to have at least one suicide risk factor (depression, thinking about suicide, making a suicide plan or attempting suicide). Overall, suicide risk factors rose significantly after two or more hours a day of time online.

That's exactly why I'm saying we're never going to see a time when the neoliberal ideal of everywhere developing into first-world advanced economies is never going to happen.

Once again EU is not the main polluter of the world and there is no reason to assume Africa would not adopt similar regulations during its transition to 1st world. But the problem is that they haven't even reach political stability as a region let alone 2nd world development.

Here's the thing. Look at this map and notice the strong, strong correlation between rapidly developing economies and absurd amounts of pollution. Realize that at a point where any African country transitioning to first world levels of development how much pollution it would have taken to get to that point and how, as it stands, regulations are utterly toothless and even when effectively implemented just accelerate the outsourcing of manufacturing to countries that are much less regulated.

The population increases of China and the USA are a tragedy for the environment, but it's too late and by now their population growth has pretty much stopped anyway.
Africa is still growing rapidly, there's still time to do something. Or at least to NOT DO the stupid things we're doing. If you can't accept this as simple fact you're the one who's intellectually dishonest.

> Realize that at a point where any African country transitioning to first world levels of development how much pollution
But I already did and as I pointed out in my previous post, that this development is not coming any time soon nor does it necessarily need to follow China's style of development in terms of magnitude and policy. Remember for Africa to match China's amount of pollution, ALL of it has to develop into 1st world just like China did.

You are right in that Africa is a ticking time bomb, but my point is that by the time Africa as a whole get any chance to develop to 1st world like China, we would either solve global warming (unlikely) or suffer the devastating consequences of it (likely), which would ultimately lead to Sahara desert expanding and leaving Africa paralyzed and fucked, hence preventing it from developing to 1st world.

But the biggest problem is not the population increase, but the level of technology/electricity consumption that every person has. Neither countries had made any attempt to reduce carbon pollution via research or policy. Nor does it necessarily mean that Africa has to follow China's style of reckless devastation to its environment for its development. Africa simply does not have the potential to develop to 1st world any time soon, and you refusing to acknowledge that and still frame it as a risk to global warming is intellectually dishonest.

This is all meaningless. If you consume the shit you are indeed creating the mess just as much as the producer.
Industry was unloaded to China for puposes of expansion and later to offset the already devastating levels of pollution here. How much industry could any major city sustain? Transport already makes it unlivable for anyone sane.

That's my point. We can't escape global climate change within the confines of an industrial capitalist system, as it stands Europe spends more on energy consumption than anywhere else in the world and shifting manufacturing to China doesn't actually solve anything so much as it displaces the problem. If we live in a system than demands indefinite growth we can't get around an indefinite demand for energy consumption.

At this point the only option is to take the Tedpill.
