It is noticeable that Jewish progressive institutions and left icons are horrified by “White people” being ‘nostalgic,’ but why?

Utopia, the imaginary ideal society, the Eden of collective and universal yearning is at the root of Left and progressive thought. A utopian society is the political and social goal of some leftist and progressive narratives. For others the perfect society is itself the ideological means toward redemption. No left or progressive intellectual narrative is impervious to some sort of utopian ideal.

....It is noticeable that Jewish progressive institutions and left icons are horrified by “White people” being ‘nostalgic,’ but why? Why are the Jews, a people who are obsessed with their own past, so afraid of other people, say ‘White’ people, being nostalgic for their own past? Ready? Beware; I am about to drop a bomb.

Utopia, Nostalgia and the Jew | Veterans Today cont...

The progressive Jew grasps that the working class are nostalgic for a pre-Jerusalem Dominated society; a time when American politics weren’t controlled by the likes of Saban, Soros, Goldman, Sachs and other global capitalists who are isolated from production, manufacturing and farming. The so called ‘progressives’ in Democracy Now, Real News, The Jewish Daily Forward and the other Soros funded outlets can interpret the primaries. They are fearful of being relegated to the ghetto.

But do they have reason? Has anyone mentioned expelling the Jews? Or curtailing Jewish power? Not at all. The progressive fear of the so-called ‘reactionary’ is fuelled by a deep understanding that the American past was indeed greater than the progressive present – the tyranny of correctness, the identitarian dictatorship and, more than anything else, the lack of a future that is attached to Mammonism – the relentless sick of Mammon for the sake of Mammon.

On a further note, in historical retrospect, the entire work of the Cultural Marxists, Wilhelm Reich, the Frankfurt school and their contemporary progressive merchants can be trashed. Their agenda has become transparent, they were committed to misleading society about the simple fact that true utopia is nostalgic. They devoted themselves to concealing what is obvious and undeniable: for the working people rootedness is true liberation and romanticism is truly romantic.
 
I doubt the average Trump voter has spared a moment's thought about "the Jew".
 
Once I had a most wonderful birthday weekend at Disney World with my Jewish girlfriend.

She insisted she pay for all three nights and even bought me a nice hat.

We met some Jewish friends of hers that came in from New York City, and they also took me out to dinner.

I always look a little askew when people start talking about " da joos ".

The author is jewish and has some things to say about Jewish identity politics, Zionism, and how it manifests in Western society. It's quite specific. Dated a jewish woman myself for a few years...who paid for dinner ? I'd give it a 50-50.
 
You can guarantee when a title ends with "And The Jew".

It's likely to come from a warped and precarious mind.

To paraphrase Cliven Bundy, "I want to tell you one more thing I know about the Jew ..."

Which Jew was he talking about?

The bad one of course, the good ones are OK (BTW the good ones are the ones that arent really jews)
 
So, I read the article. I have a few points in response.

First, the grammar leaves something to be desired. Normally, I don't quibble over such matters, but in this case, it's bad enough so as to leave some question about what the author means. For example, the author writes "the relentless sick of Mammon for the sake of Mammon." "Sick" is an adjective located where there should be a noun. Does the author mean "sickness"? Is it a typo for "slick"? Can't tell, and what's worse, neither of those options really make the phrase make any sense. Generally speaking, the piece starts out articulate enough, and then drifts into a bunch of pseudo-sentences that don't make much sense.

Second, as a Jew, the author may have an overblown sense of the amount of influence Judaism has on American politics. Oh, sure, there are Jews in high places--just as there are Christians, Muslims, Hindus, etc. This fact is not sufficient to establish the author's apparent point. Only if those Jews are in some way participating in some conspiracy, or at least guiding policy according to some common goals, does the author have a point, and he presents no evidence that Jews are doing so. As a group, it should be no wonder that Jews generally want the U.S. to support Israel and Jews wherever they happen to be. It's also no wonder that Jews fear anything that looks like even a baby-step towards another holocaust. None of this implies that progressive Jews fear that hard-working, non-Jewish Americans will figure out that they're in control, secretly guiding the nation towards some vaguely menacing date with Mammon.

Third, from the article:

But do they have reason? Has anyone mentioned expelling the Jews? Or curtailing Jewish power? Not at all. The progressive fear of the so-called ‘reactionary’ is fuelled by a deep understanding that the American past was indeed greater than the progressive present – the tyranny of correctness, the identitarian dictatorship and, more than anything else, the lack of a future that is attached to Mammonism – the relentless sick of Mammon for the sake of Mammon.

I'm not so sure things were ever better for white people than they are now, but leaving that point aside, there is no question that things were significantly worse for non-white people whenever this pre-Jewish-suzerainty utopian past is supposed to have occurred (I get the impression it is nebulously conceived to have been 1948-1970 or so). It's therefore not clear that a return to such times is desirable or morally acceptable.

For those who may not be aware Veterans Today is one of the most viciously antisemitic conspiracy websites on the web. It's totally cuckoo, don't be fooled by the name. Everything from 9/11 conspiracy theories, holocaust denial, and global weather weapons are fair game. Jew baiting just happens to be their forte.
 

He's also a notorious propagator of rabid anti-Jewish tracts and a good friend and supporter of numerous holocaust deniers while teetering dangerously close himself.

Really? Didn't know that. Never heard of him before reading this article actually.

For such a small part of the population the Jews get blamed for all sorts on nonsense. You really have to admire the chutzpah of these morons.
