  • Oh, you have done good to question this. It is a pseudoscience and the documentary you saw is not a trustworthy source.

    I quickly slapped together an uncomplete list how to spot bullshit like that. Just from your description, I would say at least three boxes are checked here.

    • Overgeneralization: A single phenomenon is claimed to explain a wide range of unrelated issues.

    • One-size-fits-all solutions: A single treatment or method is said to cure multiple, diverse ailments.

    • Lack of specificity: Claims are vague and lack detailed mechanisms or explanations.

    • Appeal to tradition: Claims are based on historical practices rather than scientific evidence.

    • Extraordinary claims without extraordinary evidence: Bold assertions are made without sufficient proof.

    • Emphasis on personal testimonials: Reliance on individual stories rather than systematic research.

    • Use of jargon: Complex terminology is used to sound credible without substantive backing.

    • Avoidance of peer scrutiny: Claims are not subjected to rigorous testing or peer review.

    • Dichotomous thinking: Issues are framed in black-and-white terms, ignoring nuances and complexities.



  • Yeah, that state.

    So when we are at it, are we talking about that Nazis, that established a fashist regime that aimed to controll at least the whole of Europe and set the world on fire for that goal, that wanted to enslave all the people, which it saw as lesser than themselves and that tried really hard to murder every single european Jew and every other person they hated by using industrial means?

    I don’t know, the new German gobvernment, I really really don’t like them. I see quite some racism and I see retrograde politics but no Nazism.

    Also in Israel I see a right-wing regime that tries to murder or expel the Palestinians. But I don’t see Nazism. The only people who call Israel a Nazi state are either not really thinking about what they say, or are just plain antisemitic motherfuckers.
