New Discourses Bullets, Ep. 155
Underneath the hood of Fascism is a heavy insistence that its program aligns with various aspects of Nature. Generally, the belief that something being “natural” (right or wrong in the assessment) means that it is also good is referred to as the “naturalistic fallacy.” That means it is an error. That something is “natural” does not necessarily imply that it is good. In this episode of New Discourses Bullets, host James Lindsay addresses the weird appeals to Nature in Fascist ideologies. Join him to understand the mentality!

Youtube is blocking my responses again, so I have to post here.
2:34 “It’s an evolutionary model. It is but it’s not, it’s wrong on the evolution.”
Of course it is. Looks like you’re starting to see it!
“But there’s a naturalistic fallacy to this. There’s this, if it is natural then it is good.
Exactly what the Alphabet Crowd says.
3:17 “This war of, that it’s like Darwin’s idea of survival of the fittest….”
Now you’re getting it!
3:24 ” … fitted together with, okay, so we need to wage war in order to be become the fittest and we need to do eugenics on ourselves to selectively breed ourselves to win that war. ”
Exactly. Now you’re starting to get it. All of this was and is the logical outworking of the worldview of atheistic, materialistic Darwinism. It IS “survival of the fittest.” Under that worldview, there is no God. There is no transcendent standard for right and wrong. There’s no ultimate accountability for whatever you do. Therefore, ANYTHING goes.
It’s not a fallacy. It the logical end point of this view.
