Introduction, by Tom Sunic
Much has been written and said in TOO about the self-constrained, self-contained and self-censored intellectual and cultural life in today’s Germany. In the modern Federal Republic of Germany, a state that officially brags about being “the freest of all states in Germany’s history,” even a minor politically incorrect joke can cause somebody a lot of legal troubles, something (as of now) inconceivable in the USA. In this sense the recent appearance of a classy, scholarly, right-wing nationalist quarterly in Germany, Hier und Jetzt, containing over 150 well-illustrated pages, feels like a breath of fresh air. What follows below is the review by Thorsten Thomsen of Prof. Kevin MacDonald’s book Separation and its Discontents in its recent German translation. Thomsen’s review of MacDonald’s book was published in # 18 of the Spring issue of the journal this year. Mr. Thomsen’s language and style, reproduced here in the English translation, may give a brief hint to an American reader about the overall political, intellectual and rhetorical climate in today’s Germany.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________
The psychologist and professor Kevin B. MacDonald from California State University has the reputation of being a “controversial” scientist in the USA. Controversial because his published research does not please certain influential circles and earns him therefore the sweeping label “unscientific.” Therefore, the high- flying American society cannot add up MacDonald to the circle of its friends, similar to a colleague of his, J. Philippe Rushton—also dubbed “controversial”—or the other authors who write in his journal The Occidental Quarterly, such as Tom Sunic and Alex Kurtagić, or the British psychologist and IQ researcher Richard Lynn.
At any rate his professorship at California State University–Long Beach cannot be disputed, although his university felt obliged on several occasions to issue explanations and disclaimers. In this neck of the woods (Germany) he would have long ago lost his professorship, or would have landed, on the grounds of “hate speech,” in front of the district prosecutor. Kevin MacDonald primarily deals with the analysis of Judaism in terms of evolutionary psychology. In simple terms, the U.S. psychologist’s thesis is that Judaism must be regarded not just as a religious issue, but rather as a sophisticated “group evolutionary strategy” which has steadily enabled the Jewish people, despite adverse circumstances, to persist and surpass other nations as resource competitors.
Group evolutionary strategies
The strategy of implicit ethnocentrism – with the maintenance of high ethnic homogeneity and exclusivity – provides the Jews with a number of strategic advantages, such as the above-average intelligence and a strong proclivity to collective behavior. In all of his three books, which in the United States came to be known as “the Judaism Trilogy,” MacDonald laid down similar and additional thesis about Judaism: A People That Shall Dwell Alone (1994), Separation and is Discontents (1998) and The Culture of Critique (1998).
MacDonald’s book was published in the German translation in the new publishing house Libergraphix from the town of Gröditz. This is his second book in the series on Judaism, which here in Germany carries the title Absonderung und ihr Unbehagen (with the subtitle Auf dem Weg zu einer evolutionären Theorie des Antisemitismus). Whoever may have some concerns that the translation was poor – given that the title seems a tad too bulky and taken word by word from the English language —will learn the opposite when reading this 376-page book. Other than a few exceptions, the translator did a decent job; the text reads smoothly and is comprehensible even to the layman.
Besides the purely scientific text, which holds a lot of inflammable material, this edition also provides MacDonald’s foreword to his first paperback edition, as well as to the first one published by the American publisher Praeger. Furthermore, the text is followed by a comprehensive bibliography. There are no footnotes given that the quotations are in the American language. One must also get used to the fact that the title of each chapter is not as usual at the top of each page, but at the bottom of the pages.
Already in his preface the author outlines in detail his arguments and refers again and again to his research results from the two other volumes of his “trilogy.” The present volume deals essentially with anti-Semitism as a counter-strategy to the “group evolutionary strategy” of Judaism in all its aspects, but it also deals with Jewish strategies in combating anti-Semitism, which MacDonald, in a sober manner depicts as a logical consequence occurring among the non-Jews in a competitive struggle among peoples.
Jewish Separation: Blessing and Curse
Already in the first chapter the author highlights the scientific basis of his thesis, i.e., essentially the theories of social identity based on evolutionary psychology, which are to be found both in Judaism and in anti-Semitism. MacDonald depicts here the common genetic roots of today’s Jews, i. e., findings which were confirmed by the Jewish-American geneticist Harry Ostrer from New York and his Israeli colleague Doron Behar from Haifa. These findings provide a scientific basis for further discussions on the basis of which the US psychologist came to be so disliked by the Jewish side.
In the next chapters MacDonald explains why the Jewish self-imposed separation in the course of history turned out to be a blessing and a curse at the same time. Although their strong ethnocentrism has brought undisputed advantages to the Jews and welded them firmly together as the community in the Diaspora, it has also led to drastic reactions by the peoples in whose midst Jews have lived their lives apart. The author identifies three historical examples illustrating this evidence: anti-Semitism in the late Roman Empire, anti-Semitism in the Middle Ages, especially during the Spanish Inquisition, and anti-Semitism under National Socialism, which, being itself an ideology with all the hallmarks of a group evolutionary strategy, functioned, in MacDonald’s view, almost as the “enemy brother” [mirror image] of Jewish ethnocentrism.
In the course of the book various Jewish strategies to counter anti-Semitism are discussed, in which the author, while on the one hand resorting to psychological arguments rather than phenotypic [physical] characteristics [e.g., ingroup/outgroup psychology], yet on the other hand, takes into consideration political movements of emancipatory value to Jews, such as Marxism or liberalism. MacDonald also points to the direct influence of organized lobbies such as the American-based Anti-Defamation League (ADL). These lobbies, according to the author, operate with methods that are otherwise common to the secret police. For this purpose MacDonald quotes the well-known critic of globalization, Noam Chomsky, himself a descendant of Jewish immigrants from Russia:
In the United States a rather effective system of intimidation has been developed to silence critique. . . . Take the Anti-Defamation League. . . . It’s actually an organization devoted to trying to defame and intimidate and silence people who criticize current Israeli policies, whatever they may be. For example, I myself, through a leak in the New England office of the Anti-Defamation League, was able to obtain a copy of my file there. It’s 150 pages, just like an FBI file, [consisting of] interoffice memos warning that I’m going to show up here and there, surveillance of talks that I give, comments and alleged transcripts of talks .
These files, or parts of them, would be then handed over to the local branches and, whenever it was judged appropriate, actions would be taken against Chomsky’s performances or speeches (or other critics of Israel or the Jewish lobby). Chomsky continues:
The politicians of course are directly subjected to this, and they are also subjected to substantial financial penalties if they don’t go along. . . . This totally one-sided pressure and this, by now, very effective system of vilification, lying, defamation, and judicious use of funds in the political system . . . has created a highly biased approach to the whole matter.
MacDonald quotes more examples of the groups that are (apparently) dedicated to the fight against anti-Semitism – only to further their own interests.
No Danger for Jews?
Prior to his final conclusion, chapters 7 and 8 clarify the question as to how Judaism, from its own perspective, developed its own “special position” and how this perspective contributed to errors in how they see the world. Firstly, MacDonald describes the lengthy history of the rationalization within Judaism, especially in its historiography, religious apologetics, and the development of Jewish theories of Judaism. According to the author, numerous such rationalizations, have led to deception and self-deception in regard to personal identity, the causes and scope of anti-Semitism, and the role of Jews in the political and cultural process. “I am arguing,” wrote MacDonald in the summary of the preface in the “Praeger edition, that “Jews, especially those who identify strongly with Judaism, are subject to self-delusion while ignoring negative information about themselves and their in-group.”
In the last chapter, the author raises the question whether Judaism today can still be conceptualized as an evolutionary strategy, given that the Jewish community in the Diaspora is also being affected and influenced by individualistic, ethnic, religious and pluralistic currents underlying modern Western societies. MacDonald does not see in it any danger for Judaism, and his thesis is that in an atomized world of traditional structures, which are in the process of dissolution, Judaism can continue to assert itself as a community. MacDonald even suggests that these signs of disintegration in Western societies provide an ideal breeding ground, so that Judaism, even within its own extensive unity, can continue to develop better than ever before.
No anti-Semitic Rag
The author’s work is replete with sources coming from different directions. This makes the overall thrust of MacDonald arguments not just comprehensible, but also sheds light on the US scientist who, although being ostracized in his profession by the media, is neither a Jew-baiting gossiper, nor a narrow minded ideologue wearing blinkers. The fact that MacDonald does not curse the Jews as “demons of the human race” (but instead depicts the characteristics and activities of the Jewish community in a rather sober and factual manner) can be best seen when he bestows upon them extremely positive characteristics, as for example in the field of their above-average intelligence.
This was also the case with Thilo Sarrazin, who at one place in the Chapter 3 of his bestseller Deutschland schafft sich ab, quotes MacDonald and his examination of the results of IQ testing. Lastly, the interpretation of the proposed factual basis of Absonderung und ihr Unbehagen is left to each reader to decide for himself. This is by no means an anti-Semitic piece of prose by Kevin MacDonald. From the information dispatched by the publishing house Libergraphix, it can be seen that Absonderung und ihr Unbehagen is only the first book in the series of MacDonald’s trilogy. This summer, the second book of the series is to be published with the title Der Jüdische Sonderweg – Der Judaismus als evolutionäre Gruppenstrategie [A People that Shall Dwell Alone: Judaism as a Group Evolutionary Strategy].
This coming winter, a translation of the collected works, Cultural Insurrections: Essays on Western Civilization, Jewish Influence and anti-Semitism will follow. Why Libergraphix did not publish the two other volumes on the American Judaism trilogy, which have already been mentioned in the beginning, remains the secret of the publisher. This would have been more appropriate. After all, MacDonald’s three main books of which Absonderung und ihr Unbehagen is the second follow up on each other. It is highly commendable, however, that the publisher from Gröditz is closing up the gap and is publishing the work of unfortunately still largely unknown Kevin B. MacDonald.
The Joys of Jihad: Islamentable, Isatrocious, Isbetrayal
Nordics versus Implicit Jews in "The Switch"
When Heidi went to Heaven 
I am no authoritarian proposing mandates, but we are living in unusual times.
KMac’s trilogy should be required reading for all students before high school graduation.
I cannot think of any other scholar apart from Pat Buchanan who has thought so deeply on the threats to our people.
But what worries me is that we need a backbone and strong will, without which nothing is possible.
It’s good to know that KMac’s work is available even in dictatorships like modern “Germany.” CoC is a monumental work; if Whites ever become collectively Jew-wise, I can definitely see CoC being at the center of that awakening. Remember: all they can do is try to try to silence you. What they can’t do refute is you.
Like Schopenhauer said: “All truth passes through three stages. First, it is ridiculed. Second, it is violently opposed. Third, it is accepted as being self-evident.” We’re at stage 2 now with draconian laws against free speech and “antisemitism,” a nonsense word if there ever was one. Hopefully Jewish hatred of Whites will one day become self-evident.
Congratulations Dr. MacDonald – a scholar and champion of truth.
What happened to Tom Sunic’s radio show on VOR The Sunic Journal?
Has he permanently stopped doing the show or is he taking a break to do other things?
I gave the book to several friends and family members.
While there has been little direct comment, ‘the culture of critique’ now sits on my brothers coffee table or under it in full view.
Its a start.
Our lovely friends got a big prize today, since their boy in the oval office just crapped on us once again. People, white people, SHOULD be out in the streets raising HELL!
The sheer evil audacity of that bastard makes me want to puke. He might just as well have said, “Here you go honkies! I’m screwing you over with amnesty for millions of illegals and you’re gonna have me for four more years! And there’s nothing you can do about it! You white people are toast!”
I hope Germany gets at least of few voices of dissent. I must say though, it is hard to believe, as MacDonald has asserted, that the pro-White movement will start in Europe, given that they are much further down the road of Totalitarian Political Correctness, including prison terms for unapproved speech, than we are.
Modern Europe is dependent on us for virtually all their ideas, despite their superficial bluster to the contrary about opposing American dominance. Germany is in a strong enough position to overthrow hate speech laws if enough Germans truly wanted their own people to be free , yet they remain far more shackled than any American.
Of course, after losing a massive war and now being stigmatized, Germans may be resigned to a certain defeatism – the kind of pessimism we associate with Europe overall these days (although the philosophical pessimism seems rooted in a time long before WWII).
However, the strong book sales of the German author Thilo Sarrazin certainly suggest there is a big market for un-PC thought over there. But I still get the sense Europe may be the laggard when it comes to racial reawakening, ironically enough.
@Jason Speaks:
“I must say though, it is hard to believe, as MacDonald has asserted, that the pro-White movement will start in Europe, given that they are much further down the road of Totalitarian Political Correctness, including prison terms for unapproved speech, than we are.”
The more tyrannical the governments of Europe become, the more Europeans will wake up to what’s happening to them. Also, remember that many of the Eastern European nations don’t jail people for thoughtcrimes the way Germany and England do. I wouldn’t overlook the Slavs, personally. They’re not a bright as the Western Europeans but I definitely think they’re more racially aware.
The Culture of Critique should be at the top of the list of kmac’s books to be translated into other languages. Considering the book bans and literal book burnings of ‘politically incorrect’ books in “democratic” Germany, as witnessed by some of Grabert Verlag’s publications, perhaps C of C might get the same “modern democratic” treatment. If that’s the case, then it should be translated and offered as a free download to end-run the State censors in occupied Germany.
Interestingly, German diplomat, author and former Director of Information of NATO, Dr. Wilfried Hoffman, overcame his racism toward non-Whites when he converted to Islam in the 1980s. In his book “Islam: The Alternative” says that only Islam and not the Judeo-Christianity – can bring peace in the world.
@Brock Ludlow:
No one seems to notice the complete inversion of equality before the law. Now the law is only used against those Obama disapproves of.
@Rehmat:
Yes, Rehmat, the peace that come from an abject submission to others– like an underdog offering his jugular to the overdog! If you are counting on that, now that you are in the New World, you better have your affairs in good order….
@Brock Ludlow: Brock, I believe he is simply a front man. In fact, this is what my friends and I concluded about the presidency some forty years ago. The elite and we don’t know who all of them are, but we know who some of them are, decided this issue. Brock, the people who call the shots in this nation, understand the American citizens better than they understand themselves. They knew there would be no rioting with this decision. In fact Brock, it is my conviction, and I believe it 100 percent, that if Obama gave an executive amnesty bypassing the people(Congress,etc.) , sure, some Americans would bitch and complain, but IN THE END THEY WOULD PULL THEIR TAILS BETWEEN THEIR LEGS AND WALK AWAY LIKE A WET POODLES. I actually think the elite OVERESTIMATE the American publics resolve to defend themselves, their democracy and their nation. There, I said it.
@fender: Fender I wonder about this awakening in Europe and its inevitability. If people in Western Europe, are already being arrested and jailed for “hate speech”, thought crimes,etc. and still aren’t in revolt, what more will it take for them to be?
@Rehmat:
Yes, and peace it did bring in the world! From the beginning of his rule in Medina the “prophet” Muhammad waged continuously battles against Mecca and other cities and tribes in the Arab peninsula. When he died he had conquered nearly the whole peninsula and was preparing for a campaign against Syria. His successors, the caliphs conquered a great empire stretching from Spain to the borders of China, all by the “peaceful” means of the sword.
Moslims are also notorious for fighting among themselves about the “true” practice of Islam. The religion of the blood stained sword will surely bring peace in the world!
As for Islam as a “cure” for “racism”, “racism” is not a disease that has to be “cured”, it is a natural instinct and therefore ineradicable. It can be regulated but never eradicated, not even by faith in an imaginary “Allah”.
Arabs themselves behave in a racist way toward black Africans and the whiter Turks or Iranians would certainly not welcome mass immigration of Blacks into their countries. Non amount of Islam can change that.
Islam is not a solution to world problems, it is in itself a world problem.
@Franklin Ryckaert: It utterly amazes me that Rehmat, whos comments I often enjoy and who brings different perspectives to this forum, actually makes the common mistake of thinking that “racism”, is strictly a “white thing”. Great post Franklin.
@Brock Ludlow: Brock, in fact I”ll give you an example of a personal experience I had right while Obama gave this amnesty. I drove my old aunt to a doctors appointment. While I was waiting in a very elegant lounge, there was a big screen tv that just announced what Obama did. Two older s white women, who seemed to be friends heard it. One of them asked, is that right to do? Whereupon, the other one said that “they said it’s not really an amnesty”, and here friend answered, oh good. And that was that. They were both satisfied. Conversation went to something else. See what I mean?
@Bobby:
If I might get back on my hobby horse with regard to people like Rehmat, the main reason a few have liked him is because of his intense dislike of Jews. Period. What some WNs don’t seem to get, is that not everyone who has a hate-on for Jews is pro-White or on remotely on our side. Some of them hate us too.
Generally, to be pro-White, means to be aware of the negative role Jews play in the modern world with regard to Whites. But the reverse isn’t strictly true. Some who despise Jews are virulently anti-White as well (especially anti-”Anglo”).
So, if they are that bizarre strain of anti-White who is also anti-Israel for some reason, I say use them for whatever good they are, but don’t ever be foolish enough to throw in with them as partners.
@Jason Speaks: I understand and accept your admonishment. I sincerely think, however, that Rehmat has in the past made some very good insights into politics and not neccessarily involving anything to do with Jews. Rehmat is probably Egyptian. I don’t generally knock people based on their culture/race alone. I am slow to judge and always have been. I’ve learned a lot on this forum, things I’ve never dreamed go on. So my views are evolving. Thanks for the warning. I have to admit, that having had a serious accident that broke my pelvis, hip, and shattered much of my lower back, I was operated on by an Egyptian doctor, and became like new. At the time, I was in financial staights, yet Dr. Wassef, never pressured me for a time limit on payment and even had his secretary find major funding that relieved me of much of the cost. I was uninsured and jobless at the time. What can I say. These are the things that cause people to marvel at the many paths life can follow and the people you meet in those paths.
@Bobby:
Rehmat has himself said that he is a Canadian of Pakistani origin, belonging to the ethnic group of the Pathans who live in a region straddling the Pakistan-Afghan border.
The Pathans claim to be descendants of the 10 Lost Tribes of Israel. Several clans of them are named after their putative Israelite patriarch. The clan Rehmat belongs to is called Yusufzay, meaning “descendants of Joseph”.
Ironically, if that is true, Rehmat with all his criticism of Jews and Israel is himself of Israelite origin.
That Islam is a problematic religion doesn’t mean that all Muslims are bad.
Only it doesn’t fit in the West, neither is mass immigration of Muslims desirable.
@Bobby:
Sorry, I didn’t mean to come off as admonishing, I just typed fast and posted – I was being critical of myself as much as anyone. And yes, there are many fine people of Middle Eastern origin,
@Franklin Ryckaert:
I regard Islam as Arab cultural imperialism. It has extended the economic and cultural reach of Arabs well beyond their borders, it helped them to justify wars of conquest, chattel slavery and pillage under the guise of doing Allahs work and it then to pacify the resistance of the conquered by imposing Arabic values under the guise of “Religion” often in return for releasing the conquered from dhimitude. It is no surprise that Societies under Islam have the following Characteristics;
1 Consanginous marriage practices.
2 Shame/honor rather than Guilt/Shame social behaviour and control.
Basically the Arab Peninsula, Pakistan and even Indonesia have ended up the same cultural values.
( I do wonder whether a caste system or consanguinity could help protectwhites, or even a return to arranged marriages ( Indian style)
Having said that it’s also clear that Islamic societies seem far better at resisting jewish insurrection. (though even this is questionable at times)
It’s indeed remarkable that both Islam and Judaism have the same food taboos which circumscribe them and lead to disgust at kaffirs/gentiles(goys) however the Koran, unlike the Babylonian Talmud does not deprecate Jesus Christ and make Christians and object of scorn. This suggests a different approach.
Race is at the bottom of Islam as well, it is more subverted as it acts as a Trojan horse for the Arabs.
One reason I see an implacable war waged by Jews against Whites and the culture we need to survive and thrive is that it is implicitly a racial war fought in the field of culture and that religion, Judaism, has a fairly strong racial/tribal character. One cannot say that Christianity or even Islam have this overt ethnic component. Islam embodies Arabic cultural values within it’s Koran though it is not explicitly racial.
@fender:
Standing back and taking your eyes out of focus for a moment, and what Germany is doing right now is “powering up”.
Maybe they won’t use that power for their people or maybe you’ll be surprised at what happens.
But either way, two things are for sure: nothign can happen without power; And Germany is powering-up.
@Mickey Meadows: One danger I see is the usual irrational Churcihilian style Jingoistic fear of Germany as if the were plotting on conquering Europe over the Euro issu. This nonsense certainly comes out of the UK. We need pan European White nationalism not this sort of rot which cand drive our civilastion to ruin sgain.
Naturally any bailout of Greece, Spain and possibly France will require accession to strict German demands which in essence simply relate to financial prudence and probity.
Arthur de Gobineau attributed much of the economic turmoil in France to pollution of races and I fear that the well known ethnic problems in most of the PIGS and looking at the behaviour of some of these nations such as high demand for social investment, low willingness to pay tax, high levels of corruption and nepotism is reminiscent of nations that don’t feel ethnic cohesion.
Sadly Germany is filling up with Jews again, places good to live in attract ‘infiltrators’ to borrow a term that the Knesset uses to describe its Aficans.
I hope this translation will help provide some intelligence and prophylaxis of the Toxoplasma gondii that infects White civilasation.
Nick Griffin gave an interesting talk on likelyhood of an Euro Collapse on YouTube. I fear he is correct.
@Bobby:
Bobby, you failed miserably in letting that conservation end. You were stuck in a waiting room with a captive audience and it sounds like you failed to point out how evil towards whites Obamas decision was.
A big fail on your part, Until whites are willing to speak loud and proud in public we are doomed.
Interesting wiki on the concept of Honorary Aryan.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Honorary_Aryan
Which individuals would qualify for that in the world today? There are plenty more honorary non-whites.
@Bobby:
“Fender I wonder about this awakening in Europe and its inevitability. If people in Western Europe, are already being arrested and jailed for “hate speech”, thought crimes,etc. and still aren’t in revolt, what more will it take for them to be? ”
Expanding those laws. Right now the only people being arrested are the ones who are considered fringe and extreme: Holocaust deniers, neo-Nazis, etc. But when regular, every day people start getting thrown in jail for expressing un-PC opinions like the subway lady in England, I think more people will start to wake up. If they don’t wake up then it means that their race has become unfit for suvival, and deserves to die off.
@Mickey Meadows:
I don’t know about honorary Aryan, but Yukio Mishima should be an example for all White men. Three-time Nobel Prize-nominated author and traditionalist who formed his own private army and led a coup at a Japanese military base, demanding that the Japanese people reject democracy and restore full powers to the emperor. A real man if there ever was one.
@Scott Mollett: Of course your’e right. I was probably depressed by the blase attitude of the two woman and their age. It seemed to me that they should have been much sharper on this issue, considering how long the had been around. But let’s face it, even Mark Twain, a sharp observer of human nature, said over a hundred years ago, I paraphrase, that “No one ever accused the American public of being too bright.”
What about Tom Sunic?
Speaking generally: what I fail to understand is how the jews intend to enforce, run and maintain their supremacist New World Order, upon the chaos of multi racial, multiethnic and multicultural societies in the wrecked and smoking remains of White civilisation. Who do they think will champion, serve and protect them like Whitey has done? The Chinese won’t, the Indians won’t, the Mexicans won’t, and the Arabs certainly won’t. By attacking Western civilisation and the White race, they are sawing through the branch upon which they are sitting.
@fender:
The apparent problem with Europeans is that they are culturally trained in obedience to authority to a degree most Americans are not. This was true long before WWII. Many are dismayed that the European people do not speak out against Political Correctness, yet they have been trained since birth to submit in all areas of their lives, by their teachers, pundits, religious leaders and aristocracy (including their royalty) to an extent no American experiences.
This is the problem with inculcating extreme obedience to authority; you wind up with people who are almost literally incapable of challenging their institutions. And if those institutions get hijacked by enemies, they are in deep trouble.
So, in the future, I think encouraging a bit of independence in Europeans (as individuals) would be helpful. This is the conundrum, if you will, between individualism and collectivism. Yes, individualism can lead to problems, but so can too much collectivism. It’s not good to breed servility into your population.
@mike:
That is a conclusion everybody invariably comes to when studying Jewish behaviour : with their destructive behaviour Jews ultimately harm themselves.
As parasites they fear resistance from the host, so they start weakening the host. Ultimately the host expels them and they seek another host where the cyclus repeats itself. Jewish history is essentially this hopping from host to host. Finally they decide to have a country of their own. But only half of them settle in that country, the rest preferring a parasitic life style in host countries.
Since their own country cannot survive on its own, their parasitic brethern in the diaspora now use their influence to make their host country to support the Jewish state. But since as destructive parasites they cannot resist the urge to destroy their host that is ultimately doomed to fail. Then they have nowhere to go, no more an own country and no more a host in the diaspora. Ultimately there rests only one last option : the Samson Option, destroy themselves and take the whole world with them.
We can only say one thing about such a mentality :
Ultimate Evil is Ultimate Stupidity
@Jason Speaks:
So Whites fail as collectivists (Europeans) and as individualists (Americans). I guess that means we’re screwed.
@Jason Speaks: Jason, there may be some shades of authoritarianism left in the post WWII European population, but I believe that isn’t the answer as to why they don’t get mad, speak out. I can offer you this from my experience having been to Europe 9 times since the early seventies. When WWII ended, the Europeans had it up to the limit, with thoughts of war and aggression. They wanted to get away from power politics, and militarism. Consequently, they filled this vacuum with American style manufacturing and materialism, in the hope of gaining the “good life”. And they did gain it. They even imported foreign workers to do the repetitive and tedious work they were tired of having done at an earlier time as Westerners. So they prospered like crazy and here is the key. I have talked, listened to, and observed Europeans and realized something. They simply became addicted to materialism, and the “good life”. They went on 5-6 sometimes more, weeks of vacation. They bought cars, nice cars. They bought and built houses that they could not afford earlier. Now when subjects are brought up to them, such as hate crime laws, Nazism, in fact, almost anything suggesting aggression, they have an instant aversion to it. They imagine themselves losing the “good life”, of song, wine, and dance, and all the pleasures of that kind of life, just like Americans imagine themselves losing it in this economy. In short, these are the reasons most of them don’t want to hear about far right movements or anythng that will make them lose nirvana. They have become, just like so many Americans have, very similar to the Eloi, the beautiful and delicate, little flower children in H.G. Well’s, Time Machine, where they lived happily above ground and ate fruit from the trees and spent their days singing and dancing and napping in the shade. Their main threat was the Mohrlocks, who were human beings that were deformed and lived underground having become so because of a nuclear attack and they used the Eloi as food. Quite a metaphor and I apologize for the length of my explanation.
@fender:
That’s a highly interesting point, worth a sociological essay.
From a purely historical perspective, the individualist forms of White organisation (“democracy”, “capitalism”, “human rights”, “egalite, liberte, fraternite”) have always been hijacked by Jews or by affiliated organizations (freemasons, NGOs, …).
The collectivist forms (“aristocracy” , “communism”, “Fascism” ,…), too – with one exception: National Socialism did not take the Jewish bait.
So the conclusion seems to be, that the Jewish take-over of Whites as individualists is inevitable, due to the very characteristics of White Individualism.
Whereas only collectivist White organisations can successfully resist – if their leaders are incorruptible.
@fender:
Well, I think of it more as turning knob or setting an equalizer, to get the mix of individualism and collectivism right. As Whites, we are more individualistic, and naturally examine facts for ourselves. But we also need to some sense of group loyalty. But it should be loyalty to our people ultimately, not to some institution or creed. And not ultimate loyalty and obedience to some “grand leader” either.
@mike:
Mike, the answer to that I suggest is that Jewish behavior patterns are not entirely rational in much the same way that when a parasite kills its host it is also is not rational or “intelligent”. It’s just a pattern that has worked most of the time but sometimes suffers blow back. Getting expelled or forcibly converted is blow-back, getting screwed up by the Russian Communist revolution it helped to create is also blow-back. When a 10 year old French Jewish school girl got dragged around around by her hair and her throat cut by a Muslim its also blow-back.
It won’t change the overall direction. Jews will unite with any minority against the White majority until we are atomized and then some more.
The scorpion is a scorpion and will sting the frog because of the instinct in its nature. I see the memes that drive Jewish behavior as more like an ‘instinct’ than intelligent.
Of course we should still work to ensure those Jews of principal have a way out. However I am certain that most will not change their behavior and will merely go underground in some way. The only solution is sustained Whit consciousness and wariness.
@Bear:
The White concept of society and race is killed but the host – the society – is not killed but transformed.
Look at the third world…they live there as an elite in perfect comfort. What distinguishes this third world is that it is dysgenic…there is no group but the Jewish who have any sense of race or do anything sensible in terms of collective action and eugenicwise breeding.
Once the West is put into that state, the Whites will no longer be of particular interest. Whites are wrong if they believe they will then have an opportunity to recover. The Jews will by that time be focusing long term on the societies that have a racial focus, and will begin by convincing those societies it is in their interests to prevent White resurgence in the [third world] West.
Eventually – for the Jewish- the whole world becomes dysgenic and third world like. In that period it can be assumed the world will drive the more superior and moral Jewish to have to make terrrible decisions. which the descendents of the Jewish will reluctantly make – and find that they are psychologically amaingly well adapted to make.
There is no way out by waiting for this or for that. The weak only get a second chance when there is no strong at all. This will never happen on the conveyor belt Whites are now on.
Only directed strategic magic can make the difference. Thinking way outside the box. Nothing else can do it now.
I’m glad that the book is translated – but the title is absurd. “Absonderung” is mostly used in the sense of “excretion”; and “ihr Unbehagen” doesn’t mean “its discontent(ed)s” but “its discontent”, not the persons but the abstract noun.
About authority, I support the position of “Jason speaks”. What Germans completely lack, is that kind of popular rightwing anarchism as shown by the militia movement, the tax resisters or, to a degree, the tea partiers.
@Stogumber:
I disagree, the title is well chosen.
Separation literally means “Trennung”, “Scheidung” (divorce) in German, which would not be appropriate.
“Absonderung” is not only secretion in the medical sense, but also segregation, and hints at a voluntary act of those who segregate/detach themselves – exacly what the Jews do.
“Unbehagen” is indeed an incorrect translation of “discontents”, but a much better term, since it implies a general feeling of “uneasiness”.

WHAT ABOUT TOM SUNIC?!!

The sheer evil audacity of that bastard makes me want to puke. He might just as well have said, “Here you go honkies! I’m screwing you over with amnesty for millions of illegals and you’re gonna have me for four more years! And there’s nothing you can do about it! You white people are toast!” ‘
I think he made a huge mistake by listening to the La Raza folks. First, he half-assed it. He merely announced that he was not going to allow immigration to boot them out of the country. They can stay and go to school and work in this country in THIS economy. Not smart.
I don’t think this is going to make the black side of the undeclared black-brown race war too thrilled. I don’t see where this is going to make those who came to work and go to school here legally thrilled. I don’t see where this is going to make those seeing their own money-making abilit lessen thrilled. This is going to infuriate and further alienate any whites who are already unhappy with Eric “my people” Holder.
Wasn’t it the Republicans who pissed away Congress by advocating “comprehensive immigration reform” and then the White House by running the guy who co-wrote the bill? Obama not only did the Republicans’ dirty work for them, he and his party are going to take the fall for it and the economy still sucks.
I wouldn’t take any strong hispanic support in the polls for Obama seriously. It’s still the economy, stupid, and they know that Romney and Republicans will not reverse what Obama has done anyway.
If the Magic Negro had had a lick of sense, he would have focused on building a coalition between blacks and the Democrats’ traditional base; working class white people and forced through e-verify and draconian penalties on American companies who exploit illegal labor.
But I guess the bone he felt he had to pick with white people was too big for him to ignore. IMO, he is going to lose big support across the board courtesy of his own stupidity.
@Clytemnestra:
Well said. It is good to hear your voice again.
@Clytemnestra: I have a prediction based on the drug dependent, willfully uninformed and unconcerned large segment of the European-American public, SENOR OBAMA WINS IN 2012!!

You mean – like you western underdogs, I too have to take orders from Jewish lobby groups?

They eat the seed corn (consume capital). The seed corn is White Competence.

No, Rehmat, you merely have to return home, to your own Third World hell-hole….
re:
“I am arguing,” wrote MacDonald in the summary of the preface in the “Praeger edition, that “Jews, especially those who identify strongly with Judaism, are subject to self-delusion while ignoring negative information about themselves and their in-group.”
Half Jew here-
WOW, really? Wait, don’t all humans do this, both on an individual and group level? Most humans rank themselves above average in looks/popularity , etc. Studies show that.
Most blacks clearly look past their short comings and view their culture as superior. Most whites do. Most don’t want to view themselves in a negative light.
The passage also notes that self-deception would be more likely in highly ethnocentric groups, such as Jews compared to Westerners.
@Elisabeth:
I wonder if ethnocentric groups like White Nationalist movements are also more prone to self-delusion. Maybe that’s what draws people to White Nationalism – a similar self-delusional quality. That would certainly go a bit toward explaining the Quality Problem in White Nationalism, and all the self-importance, latching on to conspiracy theories and acceptance of anything that fits one’s views regardless of logic/reality.
Regarding Jewish survival in multiculturally-induced dying white countries: I believe some Jews understand this problem and they’d prefer to continue their esteemed positions in prosperous and semi-civil countries. However, the majority of elite diaspora Jews believe that Islam comes in a distant second to Whites on the enemies list; schwarzers and Hispanics are simply nuisances easily avoided by living in the right zip codes. The number of pogroms mounted by whites far outnumbers those by Muslims – Jews had a nice relationship with Arabs in Spain once too. The only thing that matters to the Jewish elites is avoiding another round of white cohesion and they will sacrifice everything to keep whites from returning to nationalism (a nation is the outgrowth of family, first into clans, then towns, cities, etc. while a country is just a group of people operating under the same political system). The majority of pro-immigration Jews probably are not thinking that radically; they are taught about countries denying entry to fleeing Jews during the days of National Socialism. Once the majority of Jews (non-elites) realize that their world is crumbling around them due to dwindlng white influence, it will be too late, they will have been another sacrifice for the good of the tribe – Moses would have preferred the sword but times change.
