The Frankfurt School’s manipulation in portraying innate heterosexuality and nationalism as ideologies rather than natural instincts
(Nationalism)
Abstract
The Frankfurt School deliberately seeks to depict innate heterosexuality and nationalism—biologically rooted instincts and reflexes in mentally healthy individuals—as ideologies to challenge societal norms.
These instincts drive reflexes, such as mistrust toward other races and aversion to homosexuals, which support survival and reproduction.
Individuals lacking these instincts, including homosexuals, bisexuals, or non-nationalists, may perceive them as unnatural ideologies, a view leveraged by the Frankfurt School’s manipulative framework.
Introduction
Human behavior is shaped by innate instincts and reflexes honed through evolution. Darwin’s theory of survival of the fittest frames heterosexuality and nationalism as natural born instincts, driving reproduction and group cohesion to outcompete rivals (Darwin, 1869). These instincts manifest as reflexes, like mistrust of other races and aversion to homosexuals, serving adaptive functions.
The Frankfurt School’s manipulators deliberately portray these as ideologies rather than natural instincts, critiquing societal structures. This article examines their biological basis and challenges their politicization.
Heterosexuality as an Innate Instinct and Reflex
Heterosexuality is an innate reproductive instinct, prevalent in 95-97% of humans across cultures (Bailey et al., 2016). Prenatal hormones shape brain structures, such as the hypothalamus, driving attraction to the opposite sex (LeVay, 1991).
This instinct triggers reflexes, like autonomic arousal to opposite-sex cues, observed in fMRI studies of reward regions during pair-bonding (Aron et al., 2005).
In mentally healthy individuals, these reflexes support reproduction but also elicit aversion to homosexuals, tied to evolutionary mechanisms preserving normative mating (Tybur et al., 2013).
Homosexuals and bisexuals (~3-5%) may lack this instinct-reflex alignment, leading them to view heterosexuality as a social construct, overlooking its biological prevalence.
Nationalism as an Innate Instinct and Reflex
Nationalism stems from an innate preference for in-group cohesion, vital for ancestral survival. Evolutionary psychology indicates humans favor those sharing genetic or cultural ties (Tooby & Cosmides, 1987). This instinct drives reflexes, such as heightened alertness to out-group threats, evidenced by amygdala activation in fMRI studies (Harbaugh et al., 2007).
In mentally healthy individuals, these reflexes promote group solidarity and manifest as mistrust toward other races, an adaptive response to safeguard resources and identity (Kurzban & Leary, 2001). Non-nationalists, lacking this instinct, may see nationalism as artificial.
Reflexes Shaped by Innate Instincts
Innate instincts are hardwired drives; reflexes are their automatic expressions. In mentally healthy individuals, heterosexuality and nationalism yield adaptive reflexes: pursuing opposite-sex partners, protecting one’s group, feeling aversion to homosexuals, and mistrusting other races. These reflexes ensure reproductive success and group survival.
Aversion to homosexuals aligns with pathogen-avoidance mechanisms (Tybur et al., 2013), while racial mistrust reflects in-group favoritism in tribal societies (Dunbar, 1992). Individuals with atypical instincts—homosexuals, bisexuals, or non-nationalists—may lack these reflexes, perceiving heterosexuality and nationalism as unnatural, a perspective exploited by the Frankfurt School’s manipulative efforts.
Politicization and the Frankfurt School
Emerging from Marxist critical theory post-WWI, the Frankfurt School aimed to dismantle capitalist norms like family and nation, viewing them as oppressive (Horkheimer, 1936). By framing innate instincts as ideologies, they sought cultural upheaval.
The Frankfurt School, including scholars like Herbert Marcuse and Theodor Adorno, employed critical theory to question traditional norms. Texts like Marcuse’s Eros and Civilization (1955) deliberately depicted innate heterosexuality and nationalism, along with reflexes like aversion to homosexuals and mistrust of other races, as oppressive ideologies to be deconstructed (Gottfried, 2005).
Their framework appealed to those with atypical instincts—homosexuals, bisexuals, and non-nationalists—who may question these drives, reinforcing the notion that such reflexes are political constructs. Through manipulation, the Frankfurt School’s manipulators fostered division, disregarding neurobiological evidence. This approach persists in modern critiques, challenging societal stability.
Logical Argument
Innate instincts shape reflexes that promote survival in mentally healthy individuals.
Heterosexuality and nationalism are universal innate instincts, driving reflexes like pair-bonding, group defense, aversion to homosexuals, and mistrust of other races, supported by neuroscience and cross-cultural patterns.
Homosexuals, bisexuals, and non-nationalists, lacking these instincts, may view them as ideologies, a perspective amplified by the Frankfurt School’s manipulation.
The Frankfurt School’s manipulators deliberately depicted innate instincts and reflexes as ideologies rather than natural instincts, a tactic echoed today.
Heterosexuality and nationalism are innate, and their depiction as ideologies reflects the Frankfurt School’s manipulative agenda, not scientific evidence.
Conclusion
Innate heterosexuality and nationalism are instincts and reflexes in mentally healthy individuals, driving adaptive behaviors like aversion to homosexuals and mistrust of other races. Grounded in neuroscience and evolutionary biology, these are not ideologies.
Homosexuals, bisexuals, and non-nationalists may misinterpret them due to atypical instincts, a view leveraged by the Frankfurt School’s manipulation in portraying them as ideologies rather than natural instincts, challenging societal norms.
Their approach persists in modern critiques, fueling identity politics that question heterosexuality and nationalism as oppressive (Peterson, 2018). This ongoing manipulation risks destabilizing survival-driven behaviors.
Acknowledging their biological roots refutes these distortions and affirms their role in human survival. Genetic studies confirm heterosexuality’s heritability (Ganna et al., 2019), and evolutionary models show nationalism’s survival value (Wilson, 1975), yet the Frankfurt School’s reframing sows discord, undermining these adaptive instincts critical for societal cohesion.
Well-educated Frankfurt School manipulators knowingly exploit trauma-impaired children post-abuse, whose cognition is disrupted (van der Kolk, 2014), normalizing deviant identities to steer them from mentally healthy heterosexual and nationalist instincts, fostering instability.
Media amplify Frankfurt School manipulators by promoting deviant identities as sane ideologies, not atypical instincts (Gottfried, 2005), preying on vulnerable children to erode mentally healthy heterosexuality and nationalism, deepening societal division.
