Common Fallaces

On Nation and Race - Adolf Hitler - Chapter 11 of Mein Kampf

"If Nature does not wish that weaker individuals should mate with the stronger, she wishes even less that a superior race should intermingle with an inferior one; because in such a case all her efforts, throughout hundreds of thousands of years, to establish an evolutionary higher stage of being, may thus be rendered futile.
History furnishes us with innumerable instances that prove this law. It shows, with a startling clarity, that whenever Aryans have mingled their blood with that of an inferior race the result has been the downfall of the people who were the standard-bearers of a higher culture. In North America, where the population is prevalently Teutonic, and where those elements intermingled with the inferior race only to a very small degree, we have a quality of mankind and a civilization which are different from those of Central and South America. In these latter countries the immigrants – who mainly belonged to the Latin races – mated with the aborigines, sometimes to a very large extent indeed. In this case we have a clear and decisive example of the effect produced by the mixture of races. But in North America the Teutonic element, which has kept its racial stock pure and did not mix it with any other racial stock, has come to dominate the American Continent and will remain master of it as long as that element does not fall a victim to the habit of adulterating its blood.

Man’s effort to build up something that contradicts the iron logic of Nature brings him into conflict with those principles to which he himself exclusively owes his own existence. By acting against the laws of Nature he prepares the way that leads to his ruin.
Here we meet the insolent objection, which is Jewish in its inspiration and is typical of the modern pacifist. It says: "Man can control even Nature." "


In here, Adolf Hitler has shown a common fallacy that could fall into the category of hasty generalization or post hoc. Here he jumps to conclusions saying that fallen nations that have gone against nature and intermingled with the inferior races has caused them to become the "downfall of the people who were the standard-bearers of a higher culture". He only mentions the few nations that have fallen from intermingling with 'inferior' races. But first of all what really are 'inferior' races. Humans are all the same and none are in a higher culture or are inferior to the other. He also only uses the examples of nations that have been destroyed but fails to mention other nations that have been brought up by the intermingling of other races. I mean, where did the asians ultimately come from? Because the mongolians intermingled with other races. How can you create new races that will eventually become overpopulated without intermingling with others? Then Hilter goes on to jump to conclusions to say that the Jewish are the product of this superior to inferior intermingling, therefore they must be wiped out before they cause the downfall of Germany and the entire world. Ultimately, the evidence he used to base his argument that nature does not wish different races to mix, is insufficient because he has only mentioned some of the ones that have actually produced a downfall in culture. This could've been affected by many other factors such as location, disease, or rescources, but Hitler fails to mention all the other factors that would've provided a more logical argument for what produced their downfall. In the last sentence he is also assuming a post hoc fallacy. With the argument that nature does not want the mixing of people, he brings up the Jews and how they will become the reason for if and why the nation of Germany and the entire world begins to fall like the few fallen nations he has mentioned.
