Jewish Condescension
20251118
I wrote last week about an email I sent to a group of correspondents. Their topic was antisemitism in Tucker Carlson’s interview with Nick Fuentes. Here is a short, typical response to my email:
“Those that Graham dislikes are with some exceptions great people like Raskin and Soros. Graham’s comments while presented in a faux intellectual style reflect his lack humanitarian instincts and a distorted perspective on life. “
This emeritus professor is entitled to a difference of opinion with regard to whether or not Soros and Raskin are great. I will take issue with his second sentence. It is the kind of put-down I have gotten from chosen folk all of my life. They wonder where antisemitism comes from? Aloof, condescending, belittling stuff like this would be a good place to start. Jews need friends at this historical juncture, and we white Goyim are the most likely natural allies. Calling us names does exactly help.
If this gentleman does not understand why Raskin and Soros engender dislike, he has his head in the sand. I have written extensively about where I stand on the Jewish question, most recently here. I have vast respect for Jews. If he cannot understand that while some Jews are doing amazing things for all of humanity, working hand-in-hand with leading Goy intellects, simply ignoring whatever ethnic differences there are, others are actively working against our interests. This is obvious to Fuentes. Go to minute 12 of this video to get his thoughts. Though we may not be as strident about it, many others of us see it in:
The great replacement – flooding the country with welfare-sucking, leftist-voting immigrants
Screwing up heterosexual reproduction via advocacy of every other form of sexuality, abortion and such.
Outlawing white people simply seeking each other’s company, whether in neighborhoods, schools, associations, churches or whatever
Vast American contributions of money and manpower to fight Israel’s enemies
Control of the financial sector, such that white families cannot buy homes and start families.
Control of social, broadcast and print media, forbidding discussion of these topics.
These points may be arguable, but the people in power such as Schumer, Raskin and Soros strenuously suppress their discussion. That also arouses resentment.
This fellow should not be surprised that we resent our questions being treated as immoral and immaterial, and we ourselves being treated as children.
The most prominent among us, Trump and JD Vance heading the list, get their worst treatment. Advocates for our interests such as Tommy Robinson and Nigel Farage in England, AfD in Germany, Marine LePen in France, Martin Sellner in Austria and others are beaten, debanked and jailed, as favored minorities get a pass.
Many erstwhile liberals now call attention to these injustices. Bill Maher, Naomi Wolf, Matt Taibbi and Glenn Greenwald are among the most vocal. Their defection from the progressive camp is totally ignored. They become unpeople. Naomi Wolf’s latest book, Facing the Beast: Courage, Faith, and Resistance in a New Dark Age, describes her journey with characteristic Jewish passion and eloquence.
“Faux intellectual” is a gentler putdown than Phil Sturm’s “racist,” but it is the same kind of ad hominem argument. This fellow should stick with a discussion of the issues, and let others decide who is right.
Probably a quarter of the 600 or so books I have reviewed are by Jews. A vastly disproportionate number, which reflects their prominence in intellectual circles. But, on the other hand, the other three-quarters are probably equally bright goyim. Give them some due.
The most intelligent Jews don’t flaunt their intellect. They simply demonstrate it through the quality of their ideas. While there are vastly too many to name, off the top of my mind come Stephen Pinker, Kenneth Rogoff and Carmen Reinhart, Aaron Kheriaty, Harvey Risch, Jessica Rose and Steve Kirsch. It is the same with the most talented blacks, from Thomas Sowell through Clarence Thomas and back to Booker T. Washington. These people do not have to broadcast their intelligence – simply let it shine. People casting aspersions on my intelligence make me question theirs. It is a stupid thing to do, for a person who styles himself as smart.
As an aside, to this fellow who has certainly not read as widely as I have, the most delightful passages in Clarence Thomas’ “My Grandfather’s Son” and Vance’s “Hillbilly Elegy” are their accounts of upsetting the preconceptions of their supposed betters. I have taken the same delight dealing with snotty Jews who showed me disrespect. You wonder why Jews are not universally beloved? Take a hint!
I believe in independent journalism. I subscribed to Matt Taibbi, Glenn Greenwald and Tucker Carlson when they went out on their own. I have unsubscribed to all three, but still get their mailings. I like and trust Matt and Glenn. Dropping them as a matter of interest and time. The things they cover generally do not affect me that much.
I dropped Tucker because he was wrong. Egregiously wrong, knowingly wrong. There is no way that Ukraine could have blown up the Nova Kakhovka dam in 2024. No mere missile could have destroyed that massive dam. Tucker should have easily figured that out. I made this video to refute him. He was wrong again to interview Putin and Lavrov. I don’t know why he does it, but in my opinion it is not honest journalism. He really has had it in for Zelensky, especially in calling him anti-Christian for opposing the Moscow church. Perhaps Tucker is an antisemite. I can understand how someone working in media might become such. But it is still wrong.
I do not oppose his granting an interview to Nick Fuentes. I do agree with Victor Davis Hanson that he should have asked harder questions. As he should have done with Putin and Lavrov. As William F. Buckley would have done.
I would ask this gentleman if he can really call me a “faux intellectual?” First of all, he is the college professor, the supposed intellectual. I am simply a retired programmer with a blog. But, I would ask, on what basis can he make such an attack when I have read and reviewed vastly more books than he? Written more as well (4 vs. 0)? Certainly speak more languages (7)? Have lived on more continents (4)? Have brought more children (6) into the world? Served on more school boards(2) as well as taught in more schools (8)? Founded a couple of companies? Owned fancier sports cars and more luxurious limousines? Married younger wives? Probably more attractive as well?
I would ask that this gentleman not insult me. I’m not dumb, and neither is he. He has credentials, I have accomplishments. Let’s not let name-calling get in the way of a discussion of the issues.
We Goyim are, by statistical averages, not as smart as Jews. But there are more of us, and by sheer numbers and the functioning of the Gaussian distribution, he will have to accept that a goodly number of us will find our way into the Jews’ intellectual strata. I just might be one of those. Just as Blacks resent whites’ low expectations, we Goyim resent Jews’ low expectations. If you want to know why the likes of Fuentes don’t like Jews, understanding what appears to us as your arrogance would be a great place to start. How about some respect?
Respect - don't hold your breath. As for the anti-semite stuff, that's an easy conversational ploy when the other side is losing the argument, similar to empty latter-day accusations of "you're a racist!" or "you're a Nazi!" - you're arguing with a four-year old - "you're a poopy-pants!"...As for Raskin and Soros, they have done more to further actual anti-semitism by their actions than any actual Nazi, and as for Carlson and his interview, he let Putin snow him with that ludicrous half-hour self-serving "history lesson" - perhaps Tucker was concerned that his hotel accommodations would be shifted to the basement of the Lubyanka had he offered significant challenge - but even Putin wondered at Carlson's apparent sycophancy, at one point asking "is this a serious interview?". The breaking point for me was when he had on Mr Dark Triad himself, Curtis Yarvin, our latter-day Alexander Hamilton, the Man Who Would Be King, on for a seemingly interminable interview, also without any sort of serious challenge - and that was enough for me.
This of off topic, but it has been reported that Tucker Carlson was paid by the Kremlin to interview Putin. Among your list of Right leaning pols in Europe, you list supporters of Russia and Putin. The AFD recently called for restoring the Nord Stream pipeline as a plank in their platform. Marine Le Pen has been paid by Putin to provide opposition in France for more than a decade. As much as I like Farage, he is a supporter of Putin. Hard for me to admire these people, especially the AFD.
