Hi, QatzelOK.
I made no such argument. I made no such statement.
Regards, stay safe 'n well.

I would argue that burning witches (social germs) is never going to cure social programs.
Torus34 is arguing that we should burn a few witches so as not to be overly ideological. But I disagree.
The burning of witches did NOT lead to a more harmonius human civilization or social order. The presence of witches among us ...was just one of the background fears that kept the colonists genociding the First Nations. Scapegoating.
Every genocide looked like a victory to the colonists. Every genocide looked like germ-eradication. For germ-targetting colonists, the First Nations were just another evil germ.
According to Torus, they should have been "a little bit" genocided... so as not to be too ideological.
Thing is, Germ Theory is much bigger than an ideology. It's one of our most important modern narratives. And it has been maintained for the last few centuries... by denying the logical conclusions of Darwin's work and much else that has been discovered ever since.
I don't find the maps you provided very helpful in this thread so far. Think Grand Narratives.
(ie. Should mankind continue to target EVIL for irradication, or should mankind try to understand other people better so that we can cooperate with them? (this is the more generalist interpretation of germ theory that shows what a Grand Narrative it is))
