Manyul Im on Roetz responds to Duchesne
An official response from blog administrators: Although we value the goods gained from an open forum with free discussion, we believe the arguments in this thread have come to something of an impasse and that further discussion would provide few...

Ricardo Duchesne on Roetz responds to Duchesne
So Kai Marchal, in the same comment in which he complains about ad hominem attacks, brings a recent article from Huff Post which anyone can see was a hit piece with defamatory claims. I actually have a high academic reputation,...

Bill Haines on Roetz responds to Duchesne
I would distinguish sharply between the badness of the views defended and bad conduct of discussion. One of the main values of free speech is that it gets very bad views discussed on their merits. But there is...

George Israel on Roetz responds to Duchesne
I should probably be banned from further posting, no doubt, I recognize that. But to my mind, the 140 articles listed here by this individual have only the awe-inspiring and noble purpose of proving the superiority of one people over...

Kai Marchal on Roetz responds to Duchesne
Professor Duchesne is mixing seemingly more serious arguments with crude fake news. The statement "migrants are systematically assaulting German girls" is not a factual description, but pure propaganda from the extreme right. The link provided leads to the "Gatestone Institute"...

Kai Marchal on Roetz responds to Duchesne
I still find it disturbing that Professor Duchesne can air his ad hominem attacks here without being reminded of certain scholarly standards or academic manners. As he admitted himself, much of his writing here was just conceived as a "bait"...

Ricardo Duchesne on Roetz responds to Duchesne
I am aware that your book's political aim was to show that within the Chinese ancient intellectual tradition there are moral concepts akin to the universal ideals of the Enlightenment, or Kohlberg's universal ethical stage, which could be employed to...

Heiner Roetz on Roetz responds to Duchesne
Professor Duchesne, your furious reaction (your mail of May 15, 4:35) obviously shows that I, like all the others that have responded to you – and I have to thank them all for their comments –, have hit a nerve....

Ricardo Duchesne on Roetz responds to Duchesne
Rather odd that for Roetz criticism of current German immigration policy, which is leading to the ethnocide of Germans, makes his blood cold. Does your blood get call when Japan refuses to endorse diversity because it wants to retain...

Sir, I said "this", referring only to the mind you describe. Good luck with your war.

Poor Israel wants to portray himself as a victim with "principled anger" as compensation for his utter lack of historical analysis in his response to my comments other than making the vulgar claim that the mind of Europeans is stuck...

Ricardo Duchesne on Roetz responds to Duchesne
It is far less nasty than the accusation that I am "an ideologue of white supremacy", which is intended to have my ideas suppressed. There are no delusions; I think he knows that my article thoroughly demonstrated that his thesis...

Ricardo Duchesne on Roetz responds to Duchesne
Thanks for Yang Zing for offering a thoughtful reply. First, a clarification: my argument is not that China was less creative because it suppresses minorities; those are two separate issues; even if China did not suppress minorities and was a...

George Israel on Roetz responds to Duchesne
I think it is worthwhile glancing at the website where this individual contributes (some 140 articles) just so one knows what is being dealt with here (eurocanadian.ca). It's utterly reprehensible and, indeed, there never was any intent to consider...

Kai Marchal on Roetz responds to Duchesne
This is becoming ridiculous. Ricardo Duchesne, in his last ad hominem attack on Professor Roetz ("mentally warped" is really nasty), is going so low that it should be clear by now that he is not interested in arguments or rational...

Heiner Roetz on Roetz responds to Duchesne
A remark to Ricardo Duchesne’s mail of May 14, 12:46 pm: To me, ethno-nationalism, regardless of whether the Chinese “political establishment” really advocates it or not, is everywhere the same madness, and “dissident” ethno-nationalism in the West is no...

Yang Xing on Roetz responds to Duchesne
I want to make several comments on Mr. Duchesne's arguments. First, even if the current People's Republic of China is "a nation that suppresses minorities and promotes eugenics" (which is itself debatable), it does not mean ancient Chinese philosophy itself...

Bill Haines on Roetz responds to Duchesne
“deep within most sinophiles is an anti-Western attitude” approximates tautology, since liking is relative; but pragmatically it means “discussion of China is just an epiphenomenon of a conflict or competition between two groups,” a view that is both false and,...

Ricardo Duchesne on Roetz responds to Duchesne
The bait was intended to show that deep within most sinophiles is an anti-Western attitude, and that deep within sinophiles is acceptance of Asian-Chinese immigrant-colonization of Australia, New Zealand, and Canada --- coupled with their erroneous claims that China was...

It all looks like bait to me. Provocation and evasion. I mean RD. This whole discussion makes much more vivid to me the problems about social media that I've heard about - but little seen, since aside...
