Claire A. Lockard’s argument puts me strongly in mind of the “scientific” anti-Semitism that developed slightly more than 100 years ago, in the wake of the Darwinian revolution. Religious anti-Jewish prejudice prior to that point still permitted a Jew to cease being a Jew by converting to Christianity (or Islam, depending on the country). But the pseudo-science of racial theories that inspired eugenics concluded that a Jew was genetically a Jew, and they would always retain that genetic heritage, regardless of their religion, politics, or lifestyle. And since these anti-Semites were convinced that Jews were *inherently* destructive of civilization, then the only way to eliminate the “threat” was to eliminate the Jews entirely. This was the academic theory that Hitler decided to act upon. (My source is Hitler’s Willing Executioners: Ordinary Germans and the Holocaust by Daniel Jonah Goldhagen.)

So when I hear SJWs saying that whites are inherently racist and nothing they do will ever not be racist (part of their diabolical cleverness in grasping onto their power by any means — sound like traditional anti-Semitism at all?), or that the existence of any particular group of people (whites, or males, or Muslims, or neo-Nazis, or conservative Christians, etc.) is an act of violence against other groups, I am seeing the strong similarities, the hatred, the justification for genocide being developed. And all in the name of peace, safety, morality, and justice. Which were also how the Nazis justified their own activities.
