This has some Bahai concepts

"We must secure the existence of our people and a future for [ethnic group of ]Children."

https://rationalwiki.org/wiki/Fourteen_Words
https://www.adl.org/education/references/hate-symbols/14-words

IMHO Here is why those 14 words are not an entirely non-Bahai: Back to the

The Three False Gods chapter of The Promised Day is Come by Shoghi Effendi:https://www.bahai.org/library/authoritative-texts/shoghi-effendi/promised-day-come/5#703829286

"The theories and policies, so unsound, so pernicious, which deify the state and exalt the nation above mankind, which seek to subordinate the sister races of the world to one single race, which discriminate between the black and the white, and which tolerate the dominance of one privileged class over all others—these are the dark, the false, and crooked doctrines for which any man or people who believes in them, or acts upon them, must, sooner or later, incur the wrath and chastisement of God."

"subordinate the sister races of the world to one single race" means losing one's identity in total "melting pot" communism.


IMHO Heredity pride without self loathing nor elitism is the goal of Bahais trying to end racialism or racism. I always thought insisting one is from "The Master Race" such as Hitler described his people (who have the right to enslave or genocide other Races) was the fatal flaw of Nazi philosophy. There was a certain amount of righteous ethnic solidarity and unity that Hitler was trying to bring about in Europe, but tragically it came with the prices. Distress of the aftermath of people in a state of demoralization after World War I to the point of relentlesss blind hatred running and reigning rampant was horrible. The Soviet Union was no better and probably worse than Nazi Germany. When an overt Mossad Jew Agent says the Soviet Union was worse than Nazi Germany
"INTERVIEW Hitler, the Jews, and Israel" I have to agree because it was his people allegedly that were the most marked for extermination by Nazis.

Vikings. The new target of the woke brigade. Why are they trying to discredit my Viking ancestors and rewrite history?
Why is Viking Culture Constantly Being Attacked and Discredited?

I think the focus should be on the dignity and well-being of people who are living today. It is a good thing to acknowledge provable facts of history, but judge them based on the conditions of the time, not modern standards. This should increase our understanding of the oneness of humanity and should never be an excuse to marginalize anyone. I really don't understand the claim that people are disparaging Vikings, I think these people are just trying to generate controversy, and use it as an excuse to hate other people.

The quote above from the Advent of Divine Justice highlights the fact that various groups of people went through high and low periods in their history and a new Prophet appears where people are at a low point, and afterward they achieve great advancement as a result of the new Revelation. This is not due to an inherent superiority of a certain group of people, but it is from the bounty of God.

Then please critically study the history of Vikings and Scandinavia and all these white European non-Christian or pre-Christian or varieties of anomolous Christian societies in Northern Europe as best as you possibly can. These were some of the last fierce free people on the fringes of European Christianity to convert to Christianity. They were not subjugated to what Shoghi Effendi seems to describe as "the deification of the State" = the Roman imperialism in as much as other parts of Europe were and especially fraud Christianities corrupted version of Christianity known as the detritius of the Roman empire, The Roman Catholic church, and various divisive factions leading to a horrible persecution known as "The Reformation" https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=the+reformation and "The Inquisition" https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=the+inquisition


tribes of Europe:





When Shoghi Effendi says:
How often have the Prophets of God, not excepting Bahá’u’lláh Himself, chosen to appear, and deliver their Message in countries and amidst peoples and races, at a time when they were either fast declining, or had already touched the lowest depths of moral and spiritual degradation. The appalling misery and wretchedness to which the Israelites had sunk .... etc. . . .
and Shoghi Effendi also says in promise day is come:


"The theories and policies, so unsound, so pernicious, which deify the state and exalt the nation above mankind, which seek to subordinate the sister races of the world to one single race, which discriminate between the black and the white, and which tolerate the dominance of one privileged class over all others—these are the dark, the false, and crooked doctrines for which any man or people who believes in them, or acts upon them, must, sooner or later, incur the wrath and chastisement of God."
and these scholars talk about Scandinavian history starting 4:45 through 12:00 minute time marks :

as Vikings being wrongfully portrayed like American Indians,

it all kind of starts to fall into place why some of these White Separatist groups rightfully see their true identities of European ancient cultures as persecuted too.


Why wouldn't people consider Vikings as disparaged?

In the context of the times, the Vikings were heroic and creative, and enriched the culture of the world. For instance, the city of Dublin Ireland was founded by Vikings, and the Irish are glad to have it. According to modern standards, the practice of raiding and pillaging and keeping slaves is unacceptable. So is White supremacy or any other racial supremacy unacceptable because it dehumanizes others. It is important to have an accurate view of history, and not glorify people of the past just because they were our ancestors. Some things in the past need to stay there.

I agree but some things "in the past" are tried and test brilliant Bahai principles severely genocided, subjugated, and humiliated that are accurately part of one's own righteous unique identity.


"Unity in Diversity"
https://www.bahaiquotes.com/subject/unity-diversity

--------------------

Here's 2 great links about the Bahai concept of Educations of Girls and women

Educating Girls and Women

And here's a persecuted people at last as bad as Persian Bahais in Iran:
https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=apache+sunrise+ceremony

Are you starting to see a pattern of ethnic identity politics
and all the righetous indignation going down in the world? Yet? And how Shoghi Effendi predicted and warned of all this with clockwork brilliant accuracy?

"The theories and policies, so unsound, so pernicious, which deify the state and exalt the nation above mankind, which seek to subordinate the sister races of the world to one single race, which discriminate between the black and the white, and which tolerate the dominance of one privileged class over all others—these are the dark, the false, and crooked doctrines for which any man or people who believes in them, or acts upon them, must, sooner or later, incur the wrath and chastisement of God."
If Bahais haven't noticed vehement political conflict going down in the USA this past year, and if Bahais supposedly from there haven't noticed such deranged partisan politics, and you side with 1 extreme or the other, when Shoghi Effendi warns the world way back on the Eve of World War 2

of

These are 2 non negotiable goals.

"The theories and policies, so unsound, so pernicious, which deify the state and exalt the nation above mankind, which seek to subordinate the sister races of the world to one single race, which discriminate between the black and the white, and which tolerate the dominance of one privileged class over all others—these are the dark, the false, and crooked doctrines for which any man or people who believes in them, or acts upon them, must, sooner or later, incur the wrath and chastisement of God."

What kind of Bahai do you think you are? He's talking about 2 extreme political partisan ideologies in conflict to avoid like the plague! subordinate (a.k.a. the melting pot theory) Melting pot - Wikipedia https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5ZQl6XBo64M
and discrimination! (unity without diversity) and (unified diversity without true unity) !

There may be different understandings of the meaning of "subordinate". It can mean "subjugate" as in slavery or colonialism, or Apartheid, where there is never any intention of blending races, just one race exploiting another. I think you are thinking of "assimilate" where the intention is to cause a people to give up their native culture and adopt the dominant culture, and potentially their race to be blended into the dominant race such that a racial difference is no longer perceptible.

The idea of a "melting pot" can be different from that, where it is understood that the dominant culture will change as it absorbs elements of the minority culture, and the result is a new culture which is a combination of the two. To me that seems a better outcome than to assimilate, and shows greater respect for each component culture. There are very different opinions about that, and some people feel they have to resist any cultural blending to keep their culture "pure" The only way to make that happen is that each culture remains isolated and never adopts any traits or customs of other cultures, and there is no racial mixing. That requires preventing any migration of people to different countries, or keeping the populations separated if they do.

In the end, I strongly feel that all peoples are one, and it is a good thing if they blend and share their cultures willingly. On the other hand, if minority cultures are forced to assimilate and give up the good traits they have, that is a cultural loss. Not to mention killing off entire cultures, which is a crime against humanity. Of course, human cultures have spread, diversified, merged, blended and died out over and over again over many thousands of years, even hundreds of thousands, so its nothing new, but the vision of one human race united in diversity, and a developing global civilization is new and necessary fro world peace human well-being.

All I 'm really saying is The confluence "blending", and interactions of diverse cultures is a very slippery slope, a complex matter, and a delicate matter requiring a lot of justice and discernment! People want consistent ethics and morality! People are frightened of their better heritage, their true identities, being subordinated and subjugated!

What are you thinking? What do you think Shoghi Effendi means in this whole Three False God Quote:?
The Promised Day Is Come | Bahá’í Reference Library
especially the circumstances and message he was trying to deliver around the date just before and shortly after he addressed the entire Promised Day is come Book?



To the beloved of God and the handmaids of the Merciful throughout the West.
Haifa, Palestine
March 28, 1941 - Shoghi
Considering World War 2? and all that?

The Book Speaks for itself. I can't add anything else, but I will share an anecdote of History that White Nationalists, White Speratists, Neo-Nazis, and White Supremacists rightfully use in their rhetoric in defense of Nazi Germany.

To answer the question about the meaning of this quote from Shoghi Effendi:

"The theories and policies, so unsound, so pernicious, which deify the state and exalt the nation above mankind, which seek to subordinate the sister races of the world to one single race, which discriminate between the black and the white, and which tolerate the dominance of one privileged class over all others—these are the dark, the false, and crooked doctrines for which any man or people who believes in them, or acts upon them, must, sooner or later, incur the wrath and chastisement of God."

I think theories and policies that deify the state are referring to both Communism and Fascism, both of which place the state above all else. Subordinating all sister races to one race is talking specifically about the Nazi theory of a "master race" that is destined to rule the others. Of course those ideas existed in Europe for a century prior to Hitler, and were used as an excuse for colonial expansion by many European countries. Exalting one class above the others could apply to the Caste system in India, the Feudal system in Europe, Capitalism where workers rights are not protected, and also Communism where supposedly the "proletariat" held supremacy, all of which are flawed systems. Discriminating between Black and White also was the policy in much of the United States at that time (1930s), and even where it was illegal it was still practiced, so even the so-called democracies were and still are guilty of it. Not just the U.S., but Canada and Australia and many others had discriminatory immigration policies and policies towards their indigenous peoples. Spain and Portugal had a horrific record exploitation against indigenous peoples that persisted in Latin America even after those countries gained independence, so nobody is without blame here.

So that's why I say we should acknowledge the truth about the past, and not be too nostalgic for it. A unified world based love and respect will be much better.

I WRITE
:


Shoghi Effendi is not specifying Nazis when he says "Subordinate all sisters races to one race" it means a total subversion of diverse people to be stripped of idenity "to one race" to serve as slaves to an administrative elite caste (not necssarily of any race (although Nazis specified White Aryans were the master race),

but communism is that too.

Are you finally seeing how an extreme ideology that's any combination of those 3 False Gods Shoghi Effendi warns about incites and provokes another extreme ideology that's any combination of those 3 False Gods Shoghi Effendi warns about ?

Your avatar looks like an East Asian face and you probably know the history of Chinese cultural revolution and how the red guard and zealot maoists wrecked and subjugated indiscriminate of race.

Shoghi Effendi specified "3 false gods": Communism, Nationalism, and Racialism. This warning here is pertinent today:

Those ideas still exist worldwide for almost 3/4 of a Century after Hitler and existed worldwide for centuries. You don't see that happening today and you say you're from Illinois? https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=Chicago+socialism+communism+


You think Shoghi Effendi was talking only about His times in the 1940's?
If you are a Bahai and think Bahai writings and warnings from Shoghi Effendi words don't apply to now today, I don't know what else to write. I'm sorry to waste my time trying to explain this all to you. Riots have been going on in the USA pretty steadily for the past 8 months over obvious extreme communists versus extreme nationalists and you don't see how Shoghi Effendi's words apply?

Do your own research and draw your own conclusions about "proudboys versus antifa" and maybe you'll finally start seeing how an extreme ideology that's any combination of those 3 False Gods Shoghi Effendi warns about incites and provokes another extreme ideology that's any combination of those 3 False Gods Shoghi Effendi warns about ?

Why would you possibly even need me to explain that to you if you are a Bahai? Who are you? Are you living in a bubble?
