Comments on: Irony Thy Name is Auster /2008/03/30/irony-thy-name-is-auster/ Politics + Technology = Nonsense at the Speed of Light Tue, 01 Sep 2026 03:05:10 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=5.0.22 By: Anonymous /2008/03/30/irony-thy-name-is-auster/#comment-1661 Fri, 04 Jul 2008 00:53:00 +0000 /2008/03/30/irony-thy-name-is-auster/#comment-1661 I haven’t really read too much of Auster, preferring Jim Kalb for saying similar things about liberalism without the tiresome focus on Islam (made more tiresome because most of what Auster says about Muslims/ Islam seems applicable to Jews/ Judaism), but I have followed yours, VA’s and John Savage’s exchanges with him, and see I was right not to trust him.

He’s involved in a small spat here which confirms my growing conviction about ‘Jewish partners’ in our struggle: they do not see themselves as us, or even as a people deserving the same rights as them, they merely see us as their best vehicle for advantage.

“Auster, being a jewish-born convert to Christianity, is a perfect illustration of the conflict.”

Wasn’t Karl Marx’s jewish father a “convert” to Christianity?

Yuk yuk yuk.

I had noticed the same things about Auster’s arguments but did not take the time to pull his comments together into one piece. Kevin MacDonald’s works are great, every White person should buy several copies and give them to their friends and relations.
Best,

When I write White I am referring to something that is syntactically equivalent and as semantically significant as either Caucasian or Negro – or Jew for that matter.

If you’re interested in not veering off into oddity then you should support a standard that either capitalizes all such labels, or none.
