Comments at Steve Sailer:

* Jews thought (still think) that America was not only better than Russia, but that it was the greatest country on earth. Roth said as much.

I think this is a cultural difference between Jews and non-Jews. Non-Jews think that if you complain about something, that means you don’t like it. If your overall assessment is positive, you say that X is “great” and leave it at that. It’s rude to tell you host, “the soup was good but next time, it could use a little less salt.” Jews think, X is good but it could be better if Y was different and I will make this known. If I don’t, how will X ever improve?

* I read more explicit anti-Semitism here in a day than I have experienced in real life in a lifetime. In part, this must be due to the freedom to express true opinions that anonymity gives and in part due to the fact that this is one of the few semi-respectable spaces, even on the internet, where people are free to express anti-Semitic (or what passes for anti-Semitic) opinions so that anti-Semites gather here. And I gather that Steve does a lot of comment filtering so that the worst “Jews to the gas” stuff doesn’t see the light of day.

* Jews think that if you complain about them, that means you don’t like them. But criticism is just Gentiles wanting Jews to improve, to be better citizens and neighbors. Jews think it’s hateful to give constructive criticism, to tell them, “the soup was good but next time, it could use a little less salt.” Gentiles think, X is good but it could be better if Y was different and I will make this known. If I don’t, how will X ever improve?

* Gotta love how the wealthiest, most powerful minority in America is loudest about its supposed victimisation. I suppose that serves a purpose, eh?

* If I write comments that are occasionally critical of Jews, it is usually after a link to something where an elite Jew is writing or saying something anti-white (Gentile). I guess your interpretation will be different to mine, but I don’t think it’s very often. If I am more pointed than normal, it’s because I’m angry at that moment. The constant drum beat of negative news I get from this site, other rightist sites and the MSM all will irritate me at various times. It flares up with news items of Jihadist actions, election results, and things of that nature. I imagine the same is true for others.

I do try and be even-handed and give credit where it’s due. There are Jews doing good things now and in the past.

One thing is for sure, if most white nations were of the ethnic composition of the 1950s, or even say, 1980, I doubt I would know anything of Jews other than common threads of what I pick up through personal interactions. But realistically, practically every white country is in a situation where the next generation (my kids) will have to fight for control of their country and their freedom, possibly in an armed conflict. My hackles are raised like I imagine a Jew’s would have been in the 1930s. Thus I have made it my business to know as much about everything that has brought this situation to a head. There are now a lot of people who have done the same thing.

One can’t simply have an informed discussion about these issues without discussing Jews, or elite Jews as the case may be. I hope the outcome is more Stephen Miller and less Saul Alinksy, over time.

* If a WASP visited your home, he wouldn’t give you better redecorating suggestions than a Jew, he wouldn’t give you ANY.

When our daughter was small, we once took her to a Chinese restaurant and the Chinese grandmother at the next table proceeded to give us all sorts of advice – I think she told us to dress the kid more warmly – Chinese believe in keeping babies warmly dressed. The woman was doing this because she thought she was being helpful so we listened and nodded. I understood where she was coming from intellectually, but emotionally my reaction was “mind your own goddamn business” because in American culture you don’t go ’round giving unsolicited childrearing advice to strangers. But in her culture, she was just showing her concern.

A smart parasite knows not to kill its host and Jews are (even by anti-Semites) usually considered smart, so your suggestion that Jews KNOW that they are giving bad advice that will eventually kill their host is I think not correct. There are a lot of deeply misguided leftists who do indeed give bad, even horrible advice, but even a Chomsky or a Sanders wants (what he perceives t0 be) the best for America. They are misguided, not malicious.

* I agree with you about Plot Against America. Roth didn’t even try to understand the appeal of the America First Committee, or why the goyim in flyover country wanted to stay out of World War II.

* Steve Sailer: “Roth was a really good old writer, better than Updike at the same age. (Pretty much all famous later 20th Century American novelists were born around 1931, so they were all quite competitive with each other by age.) But for some reason, Roth pretty much wasted what should have been his prime in his 40s while Updike was getting a big lead on him.”

* Sailer: “Irish Catholics, such as F. Scott Fitzgerald, were less excluded from WASP high society than were numerous other Europeans, but they tend to complain about it more now. Poles, for example, are almost completely silent about whatever indignities they had to put up with.”

* The Polish, being Northern Europeans, tend to be stoic, and don’t complain in
public as much as groups that are more southern in temperament, such as
Jews and blacks, which seem to be always seeking limelight.

However, a lot happens behind the scenes. E.g., two Polish noblemen
had a great deal of influence on the global level:

1. Józef Retinger (1888-1960), Polish politician who was an adviser
to Count Zamoyski, and was a co-founder of the Bilderberg Group
in 1954.

2. Zbigniew Brzezinski, recently deceased, was a co-founder of
The Trilateral Commission in 1973.

Both groups have a shadowy reputation, and the fact that both
were co-founded by Polish noblemen has given rise to
conspiracy theories in Russia and Ukraine, i.e., that Polish
aristocrats are plotting against Russia to restore the Polish-
Lithuanian Commonwealth (or Intermarium) which will be ruled
by the Polish noblemen with the Ukrainians playing the role
of cheap labor. I’ve seen this discussed in various forums, and
heard it also from a Russian friend. The fact that Trump is
planning to visit Warsaw before visiting London or Paris is
reinforcing this sort of thinking.

Dennis Prager writes:

Perhaps the individual who most spread the lie of Trump-induced anti-Semitism was a previously unknown man named Steven Goldstein, executive director of the previously unknown Anne Frank Center for Mutual Respect in New York.

They became famous for a few months when the media had to trot out a Jew with an official title — and no Jewish title is as sacrosanct as one with the name Anne Frank on it.

Goldstein has publicly commented on “the cancer of Antisemitism that has infected his own Administration.” He said: “Make no mistake: The Antisemitism coming out of this Administration is the worst we have ever seen from any Administration.”

And he said to Trump, “The most vicious anti-Semites in America are looking at you and your administration as a nationalistic movement granting them permission to attack Jews, Jewish institutions and sacred Jewish sites.”

Almost as hysterical about anti-Semitism in America was Jonathan Greenblatt, the CEO of a considerably more significant Jewish institution, the Anti-Defamation League, or ADL.

As reported by the Israeli newspaper Haaretz in December, “Anti-Semitic rhetoric in the United States has reached levels unprecedented since 1930s Germany, Anti-Defamation League CEO Jonathan Greenblatt warned a gathering of Israeli lawmakers in Jerusalem on Monday.

“‘Anti-Semitism has wound its way into mainstream conversations in a manner that many Jews who lived through Nazi Germany find terrifying,’ he said at the Knesset meeting, which was convened to discuss the plight of American Jewry under the incoming Trump administration.”

(Note Haaretz’s inflammatory description, “the plight of American Jewry under the incoming Trump administration,” made six weeks before there was a Trump administration!)

Aside from fomenting hysteria about an almost nonexistent outbreak of anti-Semitism, all Greenblatt’s allusion to Nazi Germany did was diminish the evil of Nazism and the Holocaust.

In December, Greenblatt told NPR, “we found it so deeply problematic when some of the images and some of the rhetoric seemed to evoke longstanding anti-Semitic conspiracies.”

And Greenblatt repeated this charge in February in an op-ed he wrote for the Washington Post. He said: “Trump could have said he condemns anti-Semitism and takes incidents, such as the dozens of threats made to Jewish Community Centers, seriously. But instead, he lashed out against those asking the question. … Last year, we watched as the Trump campaign repeatedly tweeted and shared anti-Semitic imagery and language, allowing this poison to move from the margins into the mainstream of the public conversation.”

Well, guess what. It turned out that President Trump was entirely right: There was no eruption of anti-Semitism in America, let alone one emanating from the White House. Furthermore, “those asking the question” did indeed deserve to be “lashed out” against.
