Don\u2019t you dare question our definitions of who are the puncher-uppers and who are the puncher-downers, you racist puncher-downer, you. We know who should be the who and who should be the whom, and if you question us, you deserve to wind up a whom&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Todd is an expert about how traditional family ties in Christendom explain current political views, but similar analysis of Jews is basically not done.<\/p>\n<p>For example, the triple bankshot ideologies of Todd\u2019s kinsman Levi-Strauss, along with those of Marx and Freud, were subjected to an intentionally New York Jewish intellectual-style analysis in the 1974 book The Ordeal of Civility by Irish-American New York academic John Murray Cuddihy.<\/p>\n<p>But you\u2019ve probably never heard of that book because a gentile analyzing hugely influential Jews qua Jews is unimaginable. Jewish intellectuals very much do not like their own tools of analysis being applied to themselves. Turnabout may be fair play, but it\u2019s also, to be frank, zombie Catholicism.<\/p>\n<p>A huge amount of intellectualizing consists of triple bankshots made up by Jewish intellectuals to rationalize primal emotions they feel. Their triple bankshots (bomb Libya abroad, lay down to Muslim inundation at home, or whatever) frequently don\u2019t make much sense in non-emotional terms, but they very much do not like gentiles applying Occam\u2019s Razor to their triple bankshots.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Comments to Steve Sailer:<\/p>\n<p>* Two points on Todd:<br \/>\n1) The Charlie Hebdo marches were a weird of mix spontaneous feeling and politico-mediatic orchestration. Nominally for free speech and \u201ctolerance,\u201d the next day the government arrested the comedian Dieudonn\u00e9 for \u201chate speech.\u201d In short, the French government is subsidizing anti-Muslim blasphemy and is persecuting anti-Holocaust-Industry blasphemy. Nor was there any recognition that shutting down Islamic immigration could limit these problems in the future or that the FN had a point and should be allowed to participate in democratic politics. The government also exploited the incident to pass more surveillance legislation. There is nothing good about these sheep-like demonstrations and on the contrary shows the government\u2019s ability to rally people around a somewhat authoritarian, faux-patriotic, and censorious agenda. I think the latter is what disturbs Todd about \u201cJe Suis Charlie.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>2) Todd has been roundly mocked for his unbelievably obtuse pseudo-explanation of the \u201cCharlie\u201d phenomenon and is basically a very, very roundabout way of avoiding any mention of Jewish ethnocentrism in French politics. Said ethnocentrism however largely explains the double standard on insulting the Prophet vs. the Shoah.<\/p>\n<p>* Jews think that 1950s era America, which defeated Nazi Germany and prosecuted the perpetrators of the Holocaust just a few years earlier, was also deeply anti-semitic.<\/p>\n<p>* You seem to be flirting with Kevin MacDonaldism, where the Eternal Jew is always pushing Jewish interests at the expense of everyone else.<\/p>\n<p>Now, no doubt many Jews advocate for Jewish interests. But what is your support for the idea that anti-white Jews somehow can\u2019t just be self-hating ethno-masochists like other white ethnic groups? Why is it when a Jew advocates his country to be inundated with Muslims, it is some convoluted \u201ctriple bankshot\u201d to advance Jewish interests, but not when Italians or Swedes do the same?<\/p>\n<p>If you want to apply Occam\u2019s razor here, it is that French half-jews like Todd that advocate France be overrun with Arabs and black muslims that hate jews, they do it because they are, at best, indifferent to the country being overrun by anti-semites who will attack Jews on the streets and vote in George Galloway types who want to BDS Israel into a South Africa type pariah state.<\/p>\n<p>* The NYT had a very insidious reportage of Trump deporting Ramos from that room which summed up the way Jews have corrupted public discourse:<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The 30-minute news conference Mr. Trump presided over in Iowa on Tuesday night was the purest distillation of the psychological quirks and emotional idiosyncrasies that have made his candidacy such an irresistible spectacle \u2014 at times repellent, but often riveting.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Gosh, psychological quirks and emotional idiosyncrasies\u2014well but of course everyone thinks of Woody Allen when they see Trump on the stump.<\/p>\n<p>* I remember reading when I was a young man about some adult clubs in Paris that featured frottage, basically some guy would come out onstage and some woman would come out, well-versed, as Voltaire would say, in the science of hydraulics and sufficient reason, and through the expert application of friction and manual pressure, would achieve tremendous distances for the resulting ejaculation. Triple bank shot, indeed.<\/p>\n<p>Quite a lot of intellectual activity is focused on justifying some emotional attachment, or some some irrational conception. Quite a lot. Of course none of us are immune, so, if you want to be rational you have to be detached, and you also have to make sure that emotionally you are in a good place. Good writing and good thinking come mostly from being in a good mood.<\/p>\n<p>* Aside from the pleasure of ratiocination, is there some goal that \u201canalyzing hugely influential Jews qua Jews\u201d serves?<\/p>\n<p>It isn\u2019t as if analysis of \u201cJews qua Jews\u201d doesn\u2019t happen. Sure, it is a disreputable activity, but there is no shortage of smart people like MacDonald doing it.<\/p>\n<p>Whatever the ostensible goal, the actual effect of \u201canalyzing hugely influential Jews qua Jews\u201d seems to have is offending and alienating a highly intelligent, moral, and influential group of Americans, and prolonging the evil taint Nazism attached to what was once a humane, influential, and progressive eugenics movement.<\/p>\n<p>Aside from all that, I find it sort of tiresome and boring as well. The question of the percentage of Jewish Bolsheviks, their relative responsibility for the \u201965 immigration act and 70\u2032s feminism, and the other questions that preoccupy MacDonaldists for me are not very interesting as historical questions compared to, say, Roman history, or 17th century England. Nor do they seem relevant to issues confronting our present and future: how do block amnesty at home, elect the Donald president, and stop the exponentially growing stream of refugees from the Third World from destroying the First.<\/p>\n<p>* Puncher-downers are good when they\u2019re Jews punching down on \u2018white trash\u2019.<\/p>\n<p>Puncher-uppers are bad when they are middle class white challenging Jewish privilege.<\/p>\n<p>* When I start typing \u201cmondoweiss\u201d into the Google query box (private browsing tab\/no cookies) it auto-prompts me with \u201cmondoweiss hate site\u201d as the 1st suggested search query. Isn\u2019t that redundant? If people were trying to answer the basic question of \u201cWhat is the site \/ Is it a [sic] hate site\u201d wouldn\u2019t they just Google the 1st term? The only way these suggestions would emerge organically would be a semi-collaborative googlebomb effort in order to provoke the artificially-intelligent search cache into believing that \u201c[x] hate site\u201d was a practically useful subcategory or refinement of searches on [x] \u2014 which it isn\u2019t, in the Western civilization sense (cf. also the auto-prompt \u201csteve sailer racist\u201d).<\/p>\n<p>If Google espoused some kind of laissez-faire Prime Directive about the low-grade hacking of the suggested search by aggrieved partisans, that would be one thing. But they don\u2019t \u2014 in fact they blacklist web sites who \u201cgame\u201d the results order (albeit rarely). The manipulation would be simple to fix from an engineering standpoint; \u201cMicrosoft racist\u201d is not a case of someone mistyping an intended search for \u201cMicrosoft,\u201d after all, and it\u2019s not a hit song or new smartphone, so there\u2019s no utility gained by suggesting it. The presence of these prejudicial auto-prompts belies Google\u2019s stated libertoid mission that they just wanna Organize Information For Make Great Benefit Global Community. Ironically I guess it makes it less work for fans of racism to socialize online w\/ other fans.<\/p>\n<p>* Since the French have passed laws against \u2018Holocaust denial\u2019 (as well as other \u2018thought crimes\u2019 and \u2018speech crimes\u2019) , and indeed the (nominally) conservative Sarkozy expressed support for a law against denying the \u2018Armenian genocide\u2019, the French could probably go some way to ameliorating their problem with radical Islam (surely some muslims have been smart enough to notice the hypocrisy) by enacting a law against denigrating \u2018the Prophet\u2019. And this would not be inconsistent with their propensity for ideological tyranny \u2014 as noted above.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Steve Sailer writes: It\u2019s fascinating how the reigning philosophical discourse in the 21st Century has become simply: 1.
