To Pull A Trump

From Urban Dictionary: To say whatever comes to your mind and to get away with it scot-free.

To tell someone’s wife:

‘You know, you’re in such great shape… beautiful’

Is the best example of how to pull a trump.

Does Trump Have Dementia?

This is what journalists have been whispering for months but I don’t remember any of them saying it publicly.

Comments at Steve Sailer:

* I spend a lot of time evaluating people who have dementia or incipient dementia and he exhibits some of the same tendencies to make airy statements while having no real grasp of the reality of the underlying details.

For example demanding that the Senate delivers a health care bill without specifying clear cut instructions as to what he expects it to provide. In fact, does he even know the difference between Medicare and Medicaid? I can find no record of anything he has said in public that shows that he does.

* Let’s not forget that Trump did quite a bit himself to get Mueller appointed: suborning the Justice Department into coming up with a false rationale for firing Comey, that he then openly busted in an interview, and to the Russians in the Oval Office (W?T?F?). Trump is the last person to be leveling accusations against anyone working for him about making poor decisions that led to Mueller’s appointment.

Frankly, I always thought Sessions was Trump’s best and most important staff or cabinet pick, and I’d have a hard time continuing to support Trump if he decided to throw Sessions under the bus to save his own ass. Not only because it will make clear that Trump cares first and foremost (and maybe only) about Trump more than he does about the issues he ran on that I voted for and supported him for, but also because it means he or his ill-begotten brood (plus Jared) are probably guilty of something he doesn’t want Mueller to find. I’d rather national conservatism not have it’s epitaph be Trump’s or his idiot children’s personal sleaziness (and possible criminality).

* I didn’t expect Trump to get much through Congress. There is a large open borders majority in the Senate: all of the 48 Dems except maybe Joe Machin + about 15 Republicans.

I did expect him to do all the following:

1. Each year the president sets the number of refugees to be admitted. Under Bush/Obama it has typically been about 100,000. Trump set it to 50,000. He should have set it to zero, or something like 5,000 and limited to a tiny number of people who aided the US military or acted against the governments of our enemies (e.g., significant Chinese/Iranian/Norko dissidents)

2. Trump could end DACA with a stroke of his pen. He specifically and unequivically promised to do so. He is a liar.

3. Trump could effectively end TPS by de-designating all the countries on the list. This is again 100% within the President’s discretion. Not only has he failed to do this, not removing even a single country, he actually renewed Haiti’s designation.

One reason we have so many Somalis is that it is essentially impossible to deport non-felon illegal immigrants if their country is on the TPS list.

So Trump gets a C- on refugees and an F on DACA and TPS.

* Percy, it’s also dealing with the MSM on a case-by-case/contexted basis.

Rather than treating each and every reporter in the MSM-approved mythic structure: as a high priest of a unitary church possessing higher morality than everyone on earth and the special superpower of knowing the complete truth about all things forever. And surely more than the mere chief executive of our republic.

Trump’s team knows who these individual reporters and outlets are. They do background, they pay attention, they know how the MSM function. They follow stories. They follow careers. They understand what the MSM’s mythic framing involves–its details, its nature, its power.

There is always an element of media and institutions having to develop relationships to work together, but what we have witnessed in the past 40 years is the formation of a hermetically sealed/secret cult of MSM and Deep State. The enabling framework for moving information has hardened into a shadow government/opposition party from within.

Remember in fall of 2015 when CNN had dumps of Clinton’s e-mails? Their stance was that the material was classified, and since we, the unwashed audience, was Not Authorized to read and interpret those sacred texts, CNN’s priesthood would do it for us and “let us know what was important.”

Note the date in the URL there…and how the updated story it points to was updated in late October 2016, after the Wikileaks release, as damage control.

In defeating any religious cult there are levels where you have to go after the organization, funders, and people at the top, and there are levels where you have to engage with the foot soldiers. There are also times you have to attack their myths, times you have to attack their doctrines…and times when you simply point to what’s higher with the tip of your sharpened sword…and let them “cover themselves in shit and set themselves on fire,” as Jack Hanson put it so well above.

* Sessions has been a disappointment. Instead of being Trump’s legal attack dog he’s been a scared rabbit begging the Dem’s to eat him last. Politically Session’s is on the right side but he has no stomach for battle. Courtly Southern Gentlemanliness is not the right demeanor for battling berserkers bent on destroying what’s left of traditional America.

to quote Shakespeare’s Henry V on the mental state needed to properly engage Democrats:

… imitate the action of the tiger;
Stiffen the sinews, summon up the blood,
Disguise fair nature with hard-favour’d rage;
Then lend the eye a terrible aspect;

Instead on the morning when Session’s meetings with Russian ambassador were disclosed he adopted a deer in the headlights wide eyed look of fear. His first reaction was to recuse himself from anything having to do with the Russia hoax. Someone with more testicular fortitude like Cruz or Gingrich in his prime would have reacted properly by saying this is an absurd lie invented by the Hillary campaign and taken to lunatic extremes by the Democrats. That a US senator meets with diplomats in the course of his normal duties That the Russia fantasy would in no way interfere with prosecuting the Clintons, the Obamas, Holder or Lynch for the crimes they committed during the last 8 years.

* I like Tucker Carlson . He seems to be a sober serious conservative. A wonderful swap for the pseudo conservative O’Reilly. With exception of Hannity who is too dumb to take in more than very small doses the rest of Fox has become CNN lite with all Russia all the time the daily theme. Shep is particularly insufferable.

Carlson is right that Sessions is a good man. That doesn’t excuse Sessions failure to fight for Trump. Obama’s attorney generals were eager willing and able to break any law or man that stood in the way of dismantling of Old America and Western civilization. Meanwhile Sessions comes across as scared of his shadow, apologizing for his existence.

* Steve’s background is as a reporter; a journalist. He observes more than he opines, and he knows as much about all these alleged secret shenanigans as you or I. Would you have him make vapid, unfounded conjectures like all the blathering fools we come here to escape do?

* Sessions lusted after the AG job. He wanted it so bad that he ‘overlooked’ the fact that his first and ONLY priority was to the President, and so he went ahead and took the job when he KNEW from Day 1 that he was going to recuse himself. Rendering himself useless and causing no end of trouble for Trump.

If Sessions had confided in Trump about recusal, then Trump would have (initially at least) appointed another AG, and Sessions would still be persona grata.

Sessions has hobbled Trump for his own personal gain.What kind of loyal soldier does that?

I don’t know what will happen, but I’m a little tired of hearing about how wonderful Jeff Sessions is, and about how much of a southern gentleman he is, and about how much he risked to step forward for Trump in the early.

Truth is, when the crunch came he showed where his loyalty lay, and it wasn’t with his POTUS.

* Sessions represents the genuine conservatives in the party who were fighting for immigration enforcement back when Trump was still supporting amnesty. If Trump dumps Sessions he betrays his strongest supporters. That would be an insanely dumb move.

Additionally, who would Trump replace Sessions with? Sessions gave up a Senate seat to work for Trump. Who’s going to risk their career for what could turn into a very brief, chaotic gig in the Trump Administration.

If Trump fires Sessions and keeps DACA and keeps TPS he is finished.

* The first year of Clinton’s first term – 1993 – was nearly as chaotic as the first year of Trump’s. The Whitewater issue was still mostly dormant*, but Clinton was under constant fire for Wacogate, Travelgate, Fostergate, and even Haircutgate (look them up). The gays-in-the-military brouhaha that erupted in his first days in office, ending his honeymoon even before it began, was a self-inflicted wound. (“Don’t ask, don’t tell” was a cynical compromise crafted only after Clinton’s hamfisted attempt to ram gays-in-uniform down the generals’ throats blew up in his face.) Hillary’s health-care initiative was a disaster from the get-go.

There were foreign-policy crises galore. Clinton’s “waffling” over Bosnia became a media obsession. There was much hand-wringing over the disastrous “humanitarian” intervention in Somalia (an utter failure of a military action whose most notorious episode was dramatized in Black Hawk Down), tussling with the Cedras regime in Haiti, and saber-rattling with North Korea. (The crises with the latter two countries both escalated to the point of narrowly-averted full-scale wars.) The rape of Russia and Yeltsin’s struggle to hold on to power, culminating in the deadly tank assault on the Russian White House in early October 1993, was but a colorful backdrop to all of this chaos. (The showdown in Moscow unfolded on the same day as the infamous helicopter crash in Mogadishu.)

And yet Clinton did get a few things done. He nominated Ruth Bader Ginsburg, who sailed through the Democratic Congress. (Clinton was lucky that both of his nominees were confirmed before the GOP took control.) And he got his tax-hike bill through both houses, albeit by the narrowest of margins.

And 1993 was not even Clinton’s worst year.

Trump has a long way to go.

*Whitewater blew up into a full-fledged political crisis in early 1994. On the day that Richard Nixon died – April 22, ’94 – Bill and Hill held unprecedented his-and-hers press conferences, attempting (unsuccessfully) to put the matter to rest. Congressional hearings began that July, and the fateful appointment of Kenneth Starr as the new special prosecutor took place in early August. Starr, of course, ended up massively expanding the scope of an investigation that eventually led to Clinton’s impeachment.

Dennis Prager Vs Bret Stephens – All About Good & Evil

Dennis Prager writes:

Bret Stephens devoted his New York Times column last week to admonishing me for my tweet from two weeks ago and critiquing my follow-up column last week explaining the tweet.
The tweet reads, “The news media in the West pose a far greater danger to Western civilization than Russia does.”
Since he wrote the column as a “Dear Dennis” letter to me, I will respond in kind.
Dear Bret: I’ll try to respond to the most salient arguments you made. I’ll begin with one of the most troubling.
You wrote: “Wiser conservatives — and I count you among them, Dennis — also know that when we speak of ‘the West,’ what we’re talking about is a particular strain within it. Marx and Lenin, after all, are also part of the Western tradition, as are Heidegger and Hitler.”
I was taken aback that such a serious thinker could write that nihilist communists and nihilist Nazis are all “part of the Western tradition.”
That’s what the vast majority of professors in the social sciences teach: There’s nothing morally superior about Western civilization — it’s as much about Hitler and Lenin as it is about Moses and Thomas Jefferson. And, anyway, Moses never existed and Jefferson was a slaveholding rapist. Among those professors’ students are virtually all those who dominate the Western news media.
Am I wrong? Do you think your colleagues at the Times or the Washington Post or Le Monde or BBC believe in the moral superiority of the West?
Of course they don’t. Most believe in multiculturalism — the doctrine that all cultures are equal — and it is therefore nothing more than white racism to hold that Western civilization is superior. Didn’t nearly all of your (nonconservative) colleagues who commented on President Trump’s speech in Warsaw call it a dog whistle to white supremacists?
On those grounds alone, my tweet was accurate.
I am surprised that anyone — especially you — thinks Vladimir Putin’s Russia poses a greater threat to the survival of Western civilization than the Western left. No external force can destroy a civilization as effectively as an internal one — especially one as powerful and wealthy as the West. The Western left (not Western liberals) is such a force. Western liberals always adored the West.
I was also stunned by your saying, “I’m not sure that Justin Trudeau declaring there is ‘no core identity, no mainstream in Canada’ counts as a Spenglerian moment in the story of Western decline.”
The prime minister of Canada announces with pride that his country has no core identity and you don’t think that counts as an example of a declining civilization?
And here’s another upsetting sentence: “To suggest that Vladimir Putin is a distant nuisance but Maggie Haberman or David Sanger is an existential threat to our civilization isn’t seeing things plain, to put it mildly.”
The reason I found that troubling is I never cited Haberman or Sanger, and you well know that no generalization includes every possible example — that’s what makes it a generalization. But I did specifically cite the writers in The Atlantic who equated Western civilization with white supremacy, and your substitution of your New York Times colleagues for The Atlantic commentators allowed you to avoid dealing with The Atlantic writers’ and others media attacks on Western civilization.
Despite the fact that neither my tweet nor my column said a word about Trump, you devoted almost half your column to denouncing the president. Yet, as I wrote in the column, my tweet would have been just as accurate had I sent it out during former President Obama’s administration or Hillary Clinton’s, if she were president.
Bret, to your great credit, you are a lonely voice of strong support for Israel at your newspaper (your readers should see the videos on the Middle East you made for Prager University; they have eight million views for good reason). Doesn’t the almost uniform hostility toward Israel in the media and academia trouble you? Does it trouble you that most Democrats in America hold a negative view of Israel? That Jewish students at many American, not to mention European, universities fear expressing support for Israel or just wearing a yarmulke on campus? That so many young American Jews, influenced by the media and their professors, loathe Israel? I am certain all of that greatly troubles you. Is any of that Putin’s doing? Or is it all the result of the media and academia?
You mentioned that you will be sending me a birthday gift, a book about Putin’s Russia, “Nothing Is True and Everything Is Possible” by Peter Pomerantsev. I promise to read it. And I request a promise in return: Read the book I am sending you, “The Strange Death of Europe” by the eminent British thinker Douglas Murray. The book describes Europe’s suicide at the hands of its progressive elites — in particular, its multiculturalism-affirming political leaders and mendacious news media. To the best of my recollection, in describing the death of European civilization, Murray doesn’t mention Putin once. (Regarding the mendacious media, read the report published this week in Germany about the dishonesty in the German media, which routinely substitutes left-wing opinion for facts in reporting the immigrant crisis in Germany.)
Perhaps the most troubling part of your response was your penultimate line: “Don’t be a hater, Dennis.”
Where did that come from? You cite not a single hateful word in my column — because there are none to cite. And “hater” has become the all-purpose left-wing epithet to dismiss all conservatives. Why would my friend Bret Stephens use it?

Andrew Joyce & Kevin MacDonald – Beyond Good And Evil

From an objective perspective, I do not see how one can love or hate any group. The world consists of blacks and whites, mosquitos and Mexicans, lions and lambs, and these different forms of life have different evolutionary group strategies. When groups compete for scarce resources, there are winners and losers, and sometimes groups die out while others flourish and expand. A life form is either expanding or contracting.

From where I stand, that’s the objective perspective on life, and it is the one I generally strive for when I analyze the world on this blog though I grant that it is impossible to live this way, one can’t help but go through life speaking of right and wrong and dividing the world into good guys and bad guys.

As Kevin MacDonald (KMAC) puts it in his book A People That Shall Dwell Alone: Judaism as a Group Evolutionary Strategy: “The idea of group strategies presents a quite different paradigm for human behavior. From a group strategy perspective, human societies are seen as ecosystems in which different human groups are analogous to species occupying a common ecosystem and engaging in competition and/or reciprocity with each other. Thus, in the natural world, an ecosystem may comprise producer species as well as several levels of predator species and parasitic (and hyperparasitic) species. Species may also enter into mutually advantageous roles vis-à-vis each other–what ecologists term mutualism. Each species may be viewed as having an evolutionary strategy by which it adapts to a particular ecosystem.”

“As in a natural ecosystem, it verges on theoretical impossibility for one species to develop the role of predator, parasite, and primary producer.”

In my naive days, I thought Jews were inevitably a blessing to the non-Jews they lived among, but now I see that it is as obvious as the nose on my face that all groups, including Jews, sometimes have a negative impact on out-groups in addition to neutral and positive effects. Just as Englishmen pursuing English interests have often had a negative effect on non-Englishmen and Muslims on non-Muslims and Christians on non-Christians, so too Jews in their pursuit of Jewish interests (for example, it might in Jewish interests for goyim to believe that they have proposition nations rather than blood and soil nations so that Jews can be full participants in these proposition states, but belief that one’s country is a proposition nation is pure poison, and thus what may be good for Jews is bad for gentiles) have inevitably done harm to non-Jews, just as non-Jews in their pursuit of gentile interests, have inevitably done harm to Jews (such as the Holocaust). To put it simply, life is sometimes war. What is good for one group (such as control of a particular territory) is often bad for other groups.

Once one has made the inevitable leap to loving a group, usually one’s own, then I do not see how a healthy person concerned with his own group’s welfare can avoid hating one’s enemy (and every group has enemies). If you are black and Jews are moving into your neighborhood, buying up property and influence, how can you not have negative feelings about Jews? If you are Jewish and you are sharing a community with blacks who commit a lot of crime and suck up government welfare, how can you not have negative feelings about blacks? To love your people means to hate its enemies. Such love and hate are simply two sides of the same coin — affiliation and affection for a particular people. Ties bind and blind. We naturally see our own people in the best light and out-groups in lesser light.

On Sunday, I spoke to intellectual Andrew Joyce, who wants the West to be Juden-free. Ironically, we started our conversation discussing Game of Thrones, and one way that Andrew saw that TV show as having parallels with the Alt Right was that the characters in it rarely were rarely controlled by abstract and universal moral dictums. Instead, they were preoccupied with what was best for themselves and for their families and for their groups.

Yet when we analyze Andrew Joyce’s writings, we see that he frequently moralizes about group-conflicts between Jews and gentiles. The free market perspective on life, by contrast, is that if adults freely arrive at a contract, there is no meaning to terms such as “exploitation” or “parasitism.” Instead, these terms denote a juvenile placing of moral labels on deals that do not deserve them.

If a Jew sells a payday loan to a goy with an interest rate of 1000%, is there a bad guy in this transaction? I don’t see it. Anybody so foolish to take such a deal is going to have a lifetime of equally foolish decisions behind him and in front of him, so this particular transaction is just a symptom rather than a cause of the dumb goy’s decline.

If a Jew tells a grown goy to suck off a dog, and the goy sucks off the dog and dislikes the taste, who’s the bad guy?

I can’t summon much indignation against other parties when I think back on my life and all the bad deals in the marketplace I’ve freely made (when there was no lying and illegal or unethical behavior). Therefore, I find it hard to summon indignation against the free market. Sure, the dumb get screwed, but the dumb get screwed in any system. Why are the Jews or any middle man minority the bad guys if they legally and ethically do a job better than their competitors? If they use underhanded means, then I understand and share the antipathy.

Andrew Joyce wrote: “The Jews of the Middle Ages engaged in no productive labor, almost all of them living parasitically from moneylending.”

Weren’t some of these Jews peddlers and engaged in other forms of commerce? How is peddling not productive? Does productivity only come from working the land? How is lending money less productive than other economic transaction? I don’t believe that lending money at interest becomes immoral at any particular interest rate if the deal is made between consenting adults and is conducted on legal and open terms. To say that lending at 30% interest is immoral is an arbitrary and moralistic designation.

Would you say that Jews today in the West engage in no productive labor and only exploitation? If not, what has changed from the Middle Ages? Jews gave us Hollywood, Google and Facebook. Have not these institutions enhanced our lives?

I remember Andrew saying on a podcast that when money enters into Jewish hands, it stays there. It doesn’t circulate back out to the goyim.

Well, this completely contradicts my Chicago-school education in Economics where I was told that money circulates. If Jews accumulate money, they hire more goyim. They don’t sack their money away under mattresses. Instead, they buy boats and blow and hookers and books and music and TV studios and land and buildings and create charities, just as gentiles do when they accumulate money. How could this money stay within the Jewish community? It beggars the imagination.

I’ve read a bit of Kevin MacDonald and a bit of Andrew Joyce and I think the major difference between them is that Andrew is more likely to condemn Jewish-gentile interactions such as money-lending as parasitic while Kevin is more likely to point out group conflicts with less if any moral judgment.

I searched People That Shall Dwell Alone for every mention of “paras” and found six examples and none of them were for KMAC describing Jews as parasites. The closest that he comes is in this passage, which is more philo-semitic than anti-semitic: “The belief in the superiority of Jewish intelligence has been common among Jews and gentiles alike. Patai and Patai (1989, 146ff) review data indicating that Jewish intellectual superiority was a common belief among many 19th-century and early 20th-century scholars, including some for whom the belief in Jewish intellectual superiority had anti-Semitic overtones: Galton and Pearson believed that Jews had developed into a parasitic race which used its superior intelligence to prey on gentiles. Castro (1954, 473) shows that both scholars and the populace agreed that the Jews of Spain had superior intelligence…”

A search for “paras” in KMAC’s book The Culture of Critique: An Evolutionary Analysis of Jewish Involvement in Twentieth-Century Intellectual and Political Movements yields only this mention: “The success of the Jews then constituted a trauma to the gentile bourgeoisie, “who had to pretend to be creative” (p. 175); their anti-Semitism is thus “self-hatred, the bad conscience of the parasite…””

In the KMAC book Separation and Its Discontents: Toward an Evolutionary Theory of Anti-Semitism, a search for “paras” yields seven results. Here is the first one:

Similar themes of oppression resulting from Jewish moneylending combined with oppression by gentile elites occur in a 19th-century account on Morocco:

As money-lenders the Jews are as maggots and parasites, aggravating and feeding on the diseases of the land. I do not know, for my part, which exercises the greatest tyranny and oppression, the Sultan or the Jew,—the one the embodiment of the foulest misgovernment, the other the essence of a dozen Shylocks, demanding, ay, and getting, not only his pound of flesh, but also the blood and nerves. By his outrageous exactions the Sultan drives the Moor into the hands of the Jew, who affords him a temporary relief by lending him the necessary money on incredibly exorbitant terms. Once in the money-lender’s clutches, he rarely escapes till he is squeezed dry, when he is either thrown aside, crushed and ruined, or cast into a dungeon, where fettered and starved, he is probably left to die a slow and horrible death.

To the position of the Jews in Morocco it would be difficult to find a parallel. Here we have a people alien, despised, and hated, actually living in the country under immeasurably better conditions than the dominant race, while they suck, and are assisted to suck, the very life-blood of their hosts. The aim of every Jew is to toil not, neither to spin, save the coils which as money-lender he may weave for the entanglement of his necessitous victims.

Not once in his Jewish trilogy does KMAC label Jews as “parasites” or their activity as “parasitic.”

My argument is that the use of such as terms for middle men minorities denotes subjectivity, moralism, and arbitrariness. It seems like venting rather than logic. There are only two honorable forms of disputation — to clash over facts and logic. Terms like “parasites” and “exploiters” when applied to the freely chosen economic activity of adults are subjective appeals to emotion. I prefer more objective thinking about group conflicts.

I understand that objectivity is not the only prize in writing and that you can’t read a cry from the heart the same way you would study a textbook of economic analysis. So perhaps Andrew Joyce and Kevin MacDonald belong to separate genres — KMAC’s work is primarily analysis and Andrew’s work is rhetoric in service of white nationalism.

One possible explanation for the greater antipathy towards Jews in the writings of Andrew Joyce when compared with KMAC is that KMAC writes under his real name while Andrew Joyce is a pseudonym. People using their real name tend to be more toned down than the anonymous activist.

On the other hand, KMAC birthed “Andrew Joyce.” There never would have been an “Andrew Joyce” without KMAC. And KMAC first published him, and others like him, at The Occidental Observer, where many of the writers and commenters use language about Jews that KMAC would not use.

I can see a strong argument that Andrew Joyce is the logical culmination of Kevin MacDonald.

Returning to Andrew Joyce’s critiques of Jews, I find myself unable to summon any indignation that Jewish butchers have sold inferior non-kosher meat to goyim at inferior prices. In general, inferior goods sell at inferior prices when compared with superior goods. In my life, I have frequently paid inferior prices for inferior goods. This doesn’t upset me. I don’t see a good guy or a bad guy in these transactions. If Jews sell cheap loans, cheap liquor, cheap meat, cheap clothes to goyim at cheap prices, who’s the bad guy here? I don’t see it. If Jews make dumb TV that the goyim love, and idiotic music, and this sells and makes Jews a big profit, who’s the bad guy? The Jew for selling it or the goy for buying it?

If Jews out-compete gentiles in certain areas of business (while abiding by the law of the land and conventional ethics), and gentiles out-complete Jews in other areas of business, then what’s the big deal? Different groups have different interests and different abilities.

On the other hand, I am not a free market purist. I don’t regard capitalism as the ultimate value. There are many consensual interactions between adults that Judaism (to which I converted in 1993) regards with contempt. When a man tempts a woman into prostitution, they’re both acting low. When one adult sells illegal drugs to another adult, they’re both acting low. When an adult brother has sex with his adult sister, they’re both acting low. When an adult man has sex with another adult man, they’re both acting low. When adult men go around in public wearing women’s clothing, they’re acting low. When adults mutilate themselves in an attempt to change their sex, they’re acting low. In fact, for many of these interactions, Judaism regards them as so low that it prescribes the death penalty.

Against the media’s onslaught against everything I hold precious, I cling to my guns and to my religion.

Goldwin Smith was a 19th Century professor of English at such places as Cornell. In 1892, he published an essay on The Jewish Question:

A community has a right to defend its territory and its national integrity against an invader, whether his weapon be the sword or foreclosure. In the territories of the Italian Republics the Jews might, so far as we see, have bought land and taken to farming had they pleased. But before this they had thoroughly taken to trade. Under the filling Empire they were the great slave traders, buying captives from barbarian invaders and probably acting as general brokers of spoils at the same time. They entered England in the train of the Norman conqueror. There was, no doubt, a perpetual struggle between their craft and the brute force of the feudal populations. But what moral prerogative has craft over force?

Mr. Arnold White tells the Russians that, if they would let Jewish intelligence have free course, Jews would soon fill all high employments and places of power to the exclusion of the natives, who now hold them. Russians are bidden to acquiesce and rather to rejoice in this by philosophers, who would perhaps not relish the cup if it were commended to their own lips. The law of evolution, it is said, prescribes the survival of the fittest. To which the Russian boor may reply, that if his force beats the fine intelligence of the Jew the fittest will survive and the law of evolution will be fulfilled. It was force rather than fine intelligence which decided on the field of Zama that the Latin, not the Semite, should rule the ancient and mold the modern world.

This critique rings true to me. Any community has the right to defend itself. If that community can’t out compete Jews in a free market, then I would expect it to rig the market by all means necessary. Any group that does not put its own survival first is not likely to last. Your people’s survival seems more important to me than allegiance to universalist ethics.

Jon*:

I’m not saying Aquinas was right, but your ice-cold “if a goy will suck off a dog” take is challenged by the view that a just person wouldn’t make such an unjust offer… the reason it’s worth understanding is that Aquinas seems to envision a brotherhood of man trading with other members of the brotherhood–no trace of tribal interests here. A just Christian wouldn’t charge another Christian 1000% because justice, brotherhood. But the usurious Jewish lender sees the Christian as “other,” right? So,… offer them a terrible & unjust deal. I guess the question is, is justice only tribal, or can we imagine a justice that encompasses two separate cultures?

The advantage does seem to go, perennially, to the person who practices tribal, rather than universal, justice… cuz they can always stiff the universalist, while the universalist won’t acknowledge any differences between the two exist. What a scam!
