Read the comment I made 7 months ago about cultural marxism at Gates of Vienna: What Can We Do?. Note that I didn’t mention jews and only encouraged anti-jihadis to investigate and consider for themselves the origins and motivations behind cultural marxism. Then read Auster’s Boris-like response just below that.

The more recent Auster comment you quote above does not reflect a change in heart on Auster’s part. It is just another example of his usual double-speak (bitterly disapproving of something he himself says before or after, justified, if at all, with the most tedious splitting of hairs) coupled with his usual two-facedness (reading minds and dispensing condemnations one moment, while playing the sober and rational critic who opposes exactly that kind of hysteria the next).

What makes Auster special is his prodigious production of such crisp examples of duplicity. If you’re interested in more, search my archives. I supply plenty. In my latest essay, Big Duplicity, I assert that the ulterior purpose is to recruit Whites to serve jewish interests. Clearly Auster is a dissimulator who only defends “whites” to the extent he thinks that when properly managed (permitted to discriminate against blacks and muslims, but not against jews) we provide the best host societies for his co-ethnics. His “traditionalism” consists mainly of pining for the philo-semitic tradition of the 1945-1965 jewish golden age.

He agrees that Jews have lead the charge of Western destruction. That’s all most of the “anti-semites” that he attacks believe too. It’s hard to follow what he’s really saying here. Why does he think Jews do as they do? Is it “unreasonable anti-semitism” to say that Jews are motivated by their Jewishness and this Jewishness exists in opposition to the west, whites, and Christianity? Is that irrational anti-semitism? What is the reason that Jews have been so involved in these movements?

He’s apparently not opposed to saying just what it is that Jews have lead and been involved in, but we shouldn’t seek why they’re involved in these causes. The reason he’s in the past claimed that it’s wrong to critisize Jews as Jews, is because he doesn’t see Jews as a distinct entity with interests of his own. And as I said earlier, just what does he think is the reason that Jews do as they do, then?

Auster writes:

(There were also anti-Semitic comments about me from another member of the group, the anti-Semite Tanstaafl, though I’ve just read those comments for the first time during my re-reading.)

The “anti-semitic comments” consisted of me pointing out that he is first and foremost pro-jew.

Besides providing many examples to support my argument this rational observation has practical value. For example it explains why Auster doesn’t point out that Melanie Phillips is jewish or contrast her opposition to “Dead Island” nationalism with her support for israeli nationalism.
