Document Summary
If you have an advantageous characteristic, you are more likely to thrive and produce offspring than if you do not. If one believes this to an extent, that the strong displace the weak and the strong will always win, then this too can lead to forms of racism. Jews began to gain high positions in society and many jews had great wealth.

It appeared that the germans would win wwi, but they lost. If the ideas are weird enough, and you buy into all of them, then one cannot even see why they are in the wrong. Rights and obligations: one(cid:495)s right is another(cid:495)s obligation. )f you accept this theory, and god doesn(cid:495)t actually exist, than nothing is actually right.
