Maoa-2R, The Ultraviolence Gene

Warning: not politically correct. If you search for info on the 2 repeat version of this gene, you'll find many links not to work and many sites taken down by the PC police. Take note. You take the most flak when you're directly over the target. I expect it's incredibly difficult to get universities to fund a study that says black people are about 50 times more likely than white people to carry MAOA-2R.

There is a variation of a gene that makes those who carry it extra prone to acts of unprovoked violence. You might carry this gene. You can be tested for this gene.

Overall, the 2-repeat allele was carried by 0.1 % of Caucasian males and by 5.2 % of African-American males. These frequencies were double-checked using selfreports of race instead of interviewer-reported race and the results were nearly identical. Importantly, these allelic frequencies parallel those reported in other samples (e.g., [25, 30]). Given the extremely low prevalence of the 2-repeat allele in Caucasian males, all of the subsequent analyses were conducted within the African-American male subsample. After cases were excluded for missing data, the final analytical sample size was N = 133

 

How does such a gene explain the viloence and genocide commited by Hitler and the Nazis,or is that somehow not "violent".

 

A very interesting question. Hitler himself was not face to face with his deeds. He used others which makes me think he didn't have the stomach for it. I concede that his decisions led to horrific and violent acts and results. But he himself was not likely to be in the 0.1% of caucasians supposedly affected by this phenomenon.

Also, I don't anyone suggesting that the results of the Nazis were not largely violent. Their troops were raised on it from an early age thanks t government programming in government schools. Only instead of teaching them to hate their nation, they taught them to love it to a fault. There has to be some balance.

I also think that any race of human being can be driven into violence. So far all humans have demonstrated this. I fail to see what relevance there is to a possible genetic link when we have plenty more examples of societal conditioning that are clearly responsible. All of these riots are not being caused by direct violence against the rioters. They are expressing their violence by proxy. That's not a genetic reaction to an attack, that's social conditioning.

And that message has been very clear in the US for decades. The short end of it is this, All white people are evil racists who oppress everyone else in the world and owe everybody all they have for being such meanies through the ages. Imagine hearing that all day, every day. What effect would it have on you? Would you not look with utter suspicion at everything white people did or said? Wouldn't you tear apart their books and dig for the naturally-occurring racism they have conveyed to the ages? Under such conditioning just about everything would be seen through the eyes of "what sort of racist shit will this cracker be doing now". It's only natural after hearing it all your life.

 

I'd say it's more of an explanation for completely random mob violence such as the knockout game.

Without taking a stance on this issue, it was explained that this gene controls for random bursts of violence, not a cultural phenomenon centered around a powerful and charismatic leader such as hitler and the third reich.

It's well known that the most fascinating and dark aspect of the crimes commited in this period were how bureaucratic and normalized they became. These weren't men frothing at the mouth, losing control (a minority were of course), these were pretty small minded, simple folk, earning a paycheque in the war machine, dazzled by tales of blood purity and a german future.

Also, it's stated right in the first post that caucasians still carry this gene at a rate of 0.1%, so its not absent from germanic peoples.

I haven't read the link yet btw. Just want to help simple reasoning errors when i see them.
