Book Review: The Culture of Critique

Thanks Super

 

If you only own one book about how our traditional, "conservative" culture is being destroyed, let this one be it.

A Summary of Professor Kevin MacDonald's* book concerning the impact of Jewish persons on American culture in the 20th Century.

(*Note: While MacDonald's primary vocations are psychology/biology, his true forte is the study of ethnic groups/religions. MacDonald is at Cal State U./Long Beach. Advanced biology requires the study of ethnic groups.

Abstract: Author shows that Jewish persons have disproportion- ately impacted American culture in the 20th Century, and that this impact was negative, and that this impact will continue. MacDonald shows, in this third and final book about Jewish activity in America, that most of what could be considered by many to be "stereotypical Jewish traits" (disproportionate involvement in left-wing political causes, etc.) is in fact largely true. (Additionally, the reader should understand from the outset that "Jewish" is not just a religion but an ethnic group [hybrid race by exclusive interbreeding] ; See also "Race," Baker, J. 1974, 1981 232-247).

MacDonald gives numerous examples to show that, while American culture appears to be based on "conservative, Christian" ideas, it is actually based on "liberal, Jewish" ideas, the majority of them being secular or anti-religious.

The author shows that, since the 1920s, the persons having the greatest impact on American culture have been 1) Jewish by ethnicity; 2) politically left-wing; 3) atheist:

-Freud (psychoanalysis/psychology). Had HUGE impact on anti-religious, anti-Christian ideas- promoted these ideas. These ideas were later championed in our popular culture (movies, television, etc.).

-Franz Boas (and his later followers- cultural Anthropology). He and his followers promoted the now-legit idea that "there is no such thing as racial differences." Had huge impact on many university professors and popular authors (Mead was a student of his).

-Frankfurt School (transplanted from Germany), similar to above. Very influencial in America culture.

-Both the political "Old Left" (e.g., Rosenbergs) and New Left (Abbie Hoffman, Jerry Rubin) were heavily Jewish. Gives many examples.

-Popular authors/writers (Norman Mailer, Erica Jong, Joseph Heller (Catch-22), Herman Wouk, and scores more. A very surprising number of these authors are Jewish, and these authors helped shaped our popular culture to a good degree.

MacDonald also shows us a curious habit of Jews: advocating one social idea for gentiles (non-Jews) and the opposite idea for themselves, e.g., intermarrying with other ethnic groups. Jews actually RARELY marry outside their ethnicity, but they use the heavily-Jewish media/Hollywood to advocate that idea among gentiles. MacDonald calls this "group evolutionary strategy," and says this is common among all ethnic groups, but FAR more pronounced in Jews as a result of their being oppressed for centuries. Whites have been told by the media/Hollywood NOT to practice "group evolutionary strategy," calling this "racism." (Yes, they can do it, but we can't).

It also becomes very clear that Jews have an almost pathological fear of three things: 1) "anti-Semitism"; 2) Nationalism; 3) Patriotism in the dominant culture, i.e., White Europeans. This fear is with them 24/7, and comes out in everything they do, hence Hollywood being very anti- Christian, anti-patriotic. They also label anything even slightly critical of any Jewish person as "anti-Semitism," even the suggestion that Jews are an ethnic group (even though many Jews admit that they are indeed an ethnic group, e.g., Rabbi Steven Wise, FDR's buddy).

Also shown is how Jews go to great lengths to prevent largely- Jewish organizations (e.g., ACLU) from appearing Jewish by placing non-Jews in various positions, preventing any "anti-Semite" from scoring political points by stating fact. This also happens in other countries as well. Equally scary is the fact that Jews are 1) more intelligent; 2) have far better "people skills" than non-Jews, meaning that they are more able to steer large political movements than non-Jews, and also meaning that there need not be as many Jews to do it as gentiles.

MacDonald also shows that, as a general rule, Jews feel superior to non-Jews, and gives many examples of this attitude. Their religion actually teaches that they are superior to others (the "chosen people of God").

However, the kicker comes when MacDonald shows, without actually advocating such, that a Nazi movement (a closed, race-based society with the power of a government, unlike the Klan, which has no government power behind it) is the ONLY ideology that can stop a closed, race-based people/movement (Judaism). (This does not include the few converts). Hence the reason why they are so obsessed with stopping ANY Nazi-type movement, and hence the reason we still hear about Nazis 50 years after their demise from largely-Jewish Hollywood/media/magazines.

Also of great importance is the "neo-conservative" movement. MacDonald says that this is also "group evolutionary strategy", because some Jews realize that the Left (which they owned for years) has not come to dominate America. So, by "joining the conservatives," they can do many things that are very important to Jews: 1) Make sure Israel continues to be supported; 2) advocate continued immigration (which Horowitz, etc. does); 3) Bring minorities into the traditionally mostly-White Republican Party (which Horowitz, etc. does advocate, as I have read their positions on this as well).

So, even in "conservative" circles, they are using G.E.S. to advance Jewish causes, like they did in the Left. MacDonald says this may be partly subconscious- they may not realize that they do it.

In short, this book by a legitimate scholar about a very controversial people is MUST READING. The three books in this series contain every- thing you ever wanted to know about Jews as a group.

(His other books are: "A People That Shall Dwell Alone" (about their early history), and "Separation And Its Discontents" (about the history of "anti-Semitism"- their very bigoted religious/social views are largely responsible for such "anti-Semitism", and they refuse to admit this fact, instead putting the onus on gentiles by calling it "hate" and "intolerance").

This book is available from MacDonald himself (kmacd@csulb.edu) (ask for publisher's discount), for $46 each. Expensive, but very worth it. --------------------- -----------------------

Quotes from the book "The Culture of Critique,", 1998, by Professor Kevin MacDonald, Cal State/Long Beach (MacDonald is a psychologist/biologist.)

(Quote) "Indeed, Glazer and Moynihan (1963/1970 [1]) credit the emergence of the adversary (leftist- Ed.) culture in the United States as a triumph of the New York Jewish cultural-political perspective. Jewish writers and visual artists (including E.L. Doctorow, Norman Mailer, Joseph Heller, Frederick Wiseman and [TV producer- Ed.] Norman Lear) were disproportionately involved in attempts to portray American society as "sick" (Rothman and Lichter 1982, 120 [2])." (endquote). (P. 9, hardcover). [1] Beyond the Melting Pot, MIT Press. [2] Roots of Radicalism, Oxford U. Press.

(Quote) "Hollinger (1996, 4 [1]) notes "the transformation of the ethnoreligious demography of American academic life by Jews" in the period from the 1930s to the 1960s, as well as the Jewish influence on trends toward the secularization of American society and in advancing an ideal of cosmopolita nism (p.11)."(endquote). (p. 30, hardcover). [1] Science, Jews and Secular Culture, Princeton U. Press.

(Quote) "The association between Jews and the political left has been widely noticed and commented on beginning in the nineteenth century. "Whatever their situation...in almost every country about which we have information, a segment of the Jewish community played a very vital role in movements designed to undermine the existing order" (Rothman and Lichter 1982, 110 [1])." (endquote). (p. 53, hardcover). (It should be noted that Rothman and Lichter are Jewish themselves- some of the few who actually have the honesty to admit it). [1] Roots of Radicalism, Oxford U. Press.

And, here is a very stunning quote:

(Quote) "Jews were not simply overrepresented among radical journalists, intellectual, and "producers of culture" in Weimar (pre-Hitler- Ed.) Germany, they essentially created these movements. "They violently attacked everything about German society. They despised the military, the judiciary, and the middle class in general" (Rothman and Lichter 1982, 85 [1])." (endquote) (p. 7, hardcover). [1] Roots of Radicalism, Oxford U. Press. Note that both Rothman and Lichter are Jewish themselves, some of the few to admit this.

(Quote) "Moreover, there were conscious attempts at deception directed at making Jewish involvement in radical political movements invisible (to prevent anti-Semitism- Ed.) by placing an American face on what was largely a Jewish movement (Liebman 1979, 527ff). Both the Socialist Party and the CPUSA took pains to have gentiles (non-Jews- Ed.) prominently displayed as leaders, and the CPUSA actively encouraged Jewish members to take gentile- sounding names (This phenomenon also occured in Poland [see above] and the Soviet Union [see p. 97])." (endquote). (p. 93, hardcover). -----
