one of the (many) mental conditions resulting from addiction to German Philosophy is to over-reify. One can see the logic of dialectical materialism without ceding to it absolute causal power. "Gotcha"s like this rely on the opponents acceptance of vulgar reductionism.

So what is this methodology to select which philosophies get included, especially when youre already lumping together Marx and Freud under the same umbrella, two things that arent really compatible in their original formulations and werent intended to be
No methodology. I mean I don't even take the Marx+Freud thing seriously as most rw criticism of Marx is retarded and irrelevant to his works. But the jewish connection is, to me, clear: denial of higher (pure?) sources of causality, sex and matter, implicit anti-theistic feeling.

Yeah i agree. No methodology. Just “jews clearly suck so lets attribute a bunch of ideas i dont like to them whether such readings have any textual support whatsoever”. So the book has no actual scholarly value, just post hoc justification of emotional characterizing of jews

I think the problem is youre just pulling traits out of your butt, like cultural relativism or internationalism, that you have negative feelings about and then just saying “yes, this feels jewish, who could deny it?” But that has no value as an intellectual or historical project
