making false attributions, equivocating, shifting goalposts and every other rhetorical trick. The issue doesn't need to be complicated: I said CoC may not be a watertight thesis but it does show that 20th C morally subversive intellectual movements have largely been jewish.. 2/

Kantbot goes on to make a few claims: that jews didn't invent these ideas, that the methodology is bunk, that it's a post hoc rationalization, that internationalization was austrian not marxian, and so on and so forth. Therefore, thoroughly all of MacDonald's thesis is invalid.3/

Firstly, the ideas' authorship is irrelevant. Secondly, the methodology is simply tracing shifts in western consciousness in the 20th C: from fidelity, patriotism, faith and self-confidence to liberation, decontextualized sense of justice, anti-theism and self-scrutiny. 4/

The shifts in all of these feelings can be traced to intellectual movements which serve as the pivot and, as it turns out, the leaders of these movements have been jewish. This isn't a false attribution or scapegoating or prejudice or anything else. 5/

Psychoanalysis and feminism led to atheism and sexual liberation, anthropology led to cultural relativism, and the frankfurt school led to societal existentialism. There's no need to kick against the pricks. 6/

Thirdly, globalism as the fulfilled promise of Austrianism... well the prophets of neoliberalism (Mises, Friedman, Rand) were jews and Hayek a self-proclaimed philo-semite. But that's neither here nor there because neither I nor MacDonald are denying that 7/

Neoliberalism as repackaged austrian econ delivered the material terms of internationalization where previous intellectual movements in different fields brought, or attempted to bring, the changes in consciousness, in immaterial terms, of internationalization. 8/

The point at the beginning was: MacDonald isn't 100% right but there's a lot there, which you followed up with poking holes in your own strawmen and fleeing victoriously after a single shot. That mode of argument is highly suspect
