Farewell to the anti-Semites
Here is the last addition to the blog entry, “Anti-Semites: the evil and stupid party”: Nelson’s demand that I provide him with “evidence” for Duke’s anti-Semitism, which Nelson insists has not yet been provided, encapsulates the anti-Semites’ modus operandi. It doesn’t matter how manifest the anti-Semites’ anti-Semitism is, how frequently and unabashedly they’ve expressed it. No. The charge of anti-Semitism is always an attack out of the blue, completely unfair, based on nothing but the Jewish desire to prevent honest men from “asking questions” about the Jews. In their unending insistence that the “real evidence” be finally presented for something that is as grossly palpable as anything can be in this sublunary sphere, the anti-Semites remind me of what has been said about ghosts. According to certain Eastern teachings, the souls of persons who have died suddenly, “before their time,” remain in this world, not knowing that they have died, and so continually seeking the satisfaction of the same desires that they had in life. But they cannot satisfy these desires, because they no longer have physical bodies with which to pursue and experience them. The anti-Semites are like that. They have ceased to live as human beings, and all they have left is the single obsessive desire, never satisfied, to get themselves recognized by normal people as legitimate participants in the discussion, and to have the chance—at last!—to prove that the Jews really are the source of all the ills of the West. They keep wanting to be recognized as “real people,” but nobody will give them that recognition, because, though they don’t realize it, they’re no longer alive as humans, having been eaten up by their anti-Semitism the way the Ring-Wraiths in The Lord of the Rings have been eaten up by their respective Rings. Which is not to say that they couldn’t come back to the land of the living, if they grasped the state they’re in, and gave up the false evil obsessive beliefs that have turned them into Ring-Wraiths. A man once told me that he had been a convinced believer for several years in the idea that the Holocaust was a hoax, and that it was a state of darkness that he had been living in, until he gave it up. Of course it’s a state of darkness. To believe that one of the largest events of history was a hoax orchestrated and managed by a particular people to enable them to gain power over everyone else, would naturally put one in a paranoid condition, and worse. But this person abandoned his belief in Holocaust denial and came out of that dark place, just as the anti-Semites can come out from their anti-Semitism, if they want to.
In any event, I think I have given more than enough attention to this issue for quite a while. Jared Taylor has written his relativistic, non-judgmental response to the anti-Semitic behaviors at his conference and to the larger anti-Semitic movement of which they were an expression, the anti-Semites at the AR website—whom Taylor refuses to criticize—have spoken, the anti-anti-Semites at the AR website have spoken, and I’ve commented on all this at length. The lay of the land is pretty clear, and it is time to move on to other subjects. Email entry |
