Nazi branch is concerned...well there actually are some morons and white
supremacists who adorn themselves with the transhuman banner. That`s a
shame, but can we forbid them to use the TH brand in their racist
philosophy? So this journalist only tries to give a rough portray of the TH
movement the way it appears to him. I think you can`t blame him at all...>>
Humania, it sounds to me like a case of poor journalism. I am big on how news
orgs
"parachute" someone into a foreign environment, and present a half-truth
excellently.
That is what you are dealing with, in many journalistic cases. I can see its
amazing what gets "blue penciled" by what journalists refer to as "style
sheets" (basically a party-line list of phrases, and opinion geared to make
the editor or owner happy).
What can be done depends on how successful the technology of Transhumanism
becomes. Once you are successful, expect the flood-gate of opportunists to
arrive on scene to hijack your movement. Not to remind everyone of Hitler
again, but even adolph and joesph goebbels saw what happened, when they
succeeded into power. Many of their opponents became freshly-minted nazis.
The nazi heirachy reffered to them as "march violets", springing up new after
the winter thaw.
