The Holocaust's TWIN plenticides

The Axis plenticide denied the Jews the right to exist. The Allied plenticide denied us to right to act compassionately against their fate.

One war : two war crimes ....

WWII's plenticide was against compassion as well as the right of all to exist

It is well known that WWII was a deadly assault against the plenitude of the many different human ethnicities and classes.

Nazis and Communists and Japanese militarists all acted as if the human gene pool was a fetid swamp , better off drained of all Jews, Romas, Polish intellectuals ,Russian Kulaks, Chinese peasants and the handicapped.

They argued that at an abstract level, mainstream Science supported their interest in a program of active genetic pruning - and they weren't really wrong.

The "soft sayings" of the Atlantic Charter and the Universal Declaration of Human Rights

Talking the talk is so so easy - just ask FDR and Churchill.

But walking the talk is so so much harder - just ask FDR and Churchill.

WWII's Agape Penicillin : the Plentitude of Love and Being rebukes the Plenticide of Love and Being

In this scientifically-dominated culture, most of us  already know what biodiversity means : it means plenty of genes, of species, of habitats - the more the better.

In more formal language, it means a Plenitude (plenty of) of Being (living beings).

But the religious concept of Agape love and Agape kindness usually needs a bit of an explanation.

Plenticide : a working definition

Plenticide means reducing the gene pool - but not your own gene pool. It means reducing the species and the species strains - but never your own strain .  It means reducing habitats - but never your own habitat.

It is just good old fashioned pre-Darwin selfishness dressed up in new post-Darwin science talk.

Henry Dawson's "wartime penicillin for ALL" : plenitude enough to re-unite a humanity divided by a plenticidal war

Wartime's  other  Manhattan Project

It was a very hard saying, this constant call of Dr Henry Dawson that we needed abundant penicillin - now !

Abundant enough to save all in the world who would die without it.  And we need it now.  Particularly now, in the middle of this all-out total war called WWII.
