This isn’t a response to what he said. It’s a knee-jerk emotional response. Let me play talking head for a minute: Groups are guilty of nothing. Only individuals are.
Michael: again, you don't understand: There are no innocent men in the tyrannical Western patriarchy. By definition. Group guilt incriminates all, by design and intent @michaelshermerhttps://twitter.com/michaelshermer/status/1010162786352095232 …

Out of curiosity what would your approach to collective guilt be ala totalitarian regimes such as the Nazis, or genocidal societies such as Rwanda. Is there a way of psychologically describing this which doesn't adopt a collectivist ontology?

The Nazis were an actual group who swore an oath of allegiance to a shared system of beliefs. As far as I know, white men have not done this.

Feminists have charged men with a collective crime. They are using this charge as justification for stripping all individuals who happen to have been born male of their fundamental individual human rights. When does it become a “war” as such?

This in fact explains much of the reaction to the Junot Diaz controversy in U.S. literary world. He's guilty because, well, he is. By definition, according to some.

I am also curious since other (reformed) hyper-individualists were quite curious about this questions. https://philosophicaugustine.wordpress.com/2014/02/05/robert-nozick-on-mankind-and-the-holocaust/ …

Blaming the entire species for the aberrant actions of the Nazis reveals the abomination of collective judgement. It lets the Nazis off the hook, for one thing, but then it adopts their collective condemnation but not just of a race, instead of the whole species. Shameful.
