3. Anyways, I'm working on a podcast that will be about Gertrude Himmelfarb, The King's Man, the origins of the James Bond villain, The 39 Steps, Straussian hermeneutics, anti-Semitism, etc. With luck it'll be like an old school Jeet thread but in audio for.
Ohhhhhhhhhh that's why alt-righters are repping The 39 Steps nowadays
is that true? Any links? Would help with a piece I'm working on.
In my fifth lecture, I cite her to the effect that people were “normally antisemitic,” which did not matter much until it “ceased to be the prerogative of English gentlemen and became the business of demagogues." https://www.history.ox.ac.uk/event/the-carlyle-lectures-2022-white-freedom-hannah-arendt …
Oh, your second screen shot is the passage...
I mean, can it really be called anti-Semitism to express blatantly hateful and false stereotypes and conspiracy theories about Jewish people if the author honestly felt like they might be true? Oh. Wait. YES. THAT IS DEFINITELY ANTI-SEMITISM.
You see similar defenses if Chesterton’s anti-semitism
The description of Buchan's novels immediately made me think of the stories in Chesterton's The Man Who Knew Too Much (no relation to the Hitchcock movies). Ends with a conspiracy of Jewish bankers corrupting English politicians, goal is to start war so they can profit.
I'm sure you have checked out Mordechai Richler on Bond, Buchan etc.https://www.commentary.org/articles/mordecai-richler/james-bond-unmasked/ …
