Individualism and the Western Liberal Tradition

Overview of MacDonald's Failures
Brief notes follow:–

      Nov 13 2023: Looking at the 'Occidental Observer' online, I find with some anguish the same old badly-written evasive articles by obscure people, and much worse comments, usually unable to state anything clearly, except occasional accurate corrections. Sad stuff and rather terrifying.
      (14 August 2023) Review of Black Britain [sic] by Richard Knight looks at a book attributed to 'Chris Knight', called Black Britain, published by Allen & Unwin in 1973, 'with an account of recent events at the Institute of Race Relations'. With a synchronised comment immediately on cue, 'England and most of Europe self destructed'. Richard Knight says nothing about the parts played by Jews, despite the fact that the last of MacDonald's original books (25 years back) explicitly tried to discuss the Jews and their immigration policies. The Occidental Observer seems to be still MacDonald's flagship!
      (7 August 2023) A good article on 'racism' as a legal intrusion, by Richard Knight, is online. BUT it's like diagnosing a disease, or a malignant weed, without saying it's known to be intentionally spread by Jews. It's a hollow article, asking questions, but not answering them.
      (22 July 2023) Eulogy for Richard Lynn (1930-2022) by someone called Kirkegaard is embarrassingly trite. What Lynn called his autobiography is online, a sad thing showing he knew nothing about Jews. It shows how he produced a lot of undistinguished papers.
      (16 May 2023): A truly saddening aspect of MacDonald is the exclusion of people with detailed personal knowledge of Jews, who showed up in the comments of the Occidental Observer, until May 22 2023, when only previous writers or contributors of $10 monthly would be allowed; it's not clear whether they'd be moderated. It's impossible to know what comments are removed; there may be many that never appear. There was a woman with family involvement in Surinam, who has ceased commenting long ago. A man with knowledge of Jews in Russia comments, but has no articles. There are WW2 involvees who only post comments, never articles. Victims of violence or financial frauds get no articles. There is nothing on US war crimes. MacDonald is happiest with peevish whinging anonymous academics, who are only in place in some lightweight pseudo-specialisation.
        Another persistent aspect is failure do identify Jewish printed money as a very significant factor. A recent piece included comments (not relevant to the actual article—it's the only way they can get in) talking of Jewish media control, notably of 'movies'. Nobody said that if you print money, you're not at risk, which explains Jewish control of movies, and the lavish funding. So inevitable is this failure it probably results from systematic censorship: the facts of funding of US Christianity never get mentioned, for example.
      (5 Feb 2023): A new piece in Occidental Observer online (book reviewed; Jeffrey Epstein and blackmail credited to 'Jason Cannon', by a real-or-otherwise small press, doesn't mention Jews and doesn't understand such things as nuclear frauds, and faked deaths, assuming Epstein really is dead. And so on. Terribly weak stuff. NB I noticed MacDonald has misspelt 'principal' in Culture of Critique which he claims to be revising; sigh.
      (26 Nov 2022): Briefly ... The problem is MacDonald's narrowness. He writes as though 1950s USA mass beliefs, and Long Beach University, apply to the world for all time. He is correctly concerned with immigration into the USA, as encouraged by Jews. But he doesn't survey the world, and see Jewish control of weapons and money produce vast numbers of 'refugees'. He's shocked that anyone should consider that US force allowed Jews, and forced others, into the USA. He is correctly concerned about deindustrialisation, but doesn't see Jewish activity in most other countries is used for that end. He presumably is concerned over Jewish money-printing and the vast benefits to Jews, but has no theories about what to do about it. And his lack of investigation applies to the past: he says nothing about the Kahal system, with its huge influence over Jews, and he says nothing about Christianity and Islam, both offshoots from Jews, and the absurdities of Christianity. I see the same thing in Britain, with unthinking support for wars rigged up by Jews.
      (19 Oct 2021): When an individual finds a flaw in his or her organisation, there are two common reactions: the said individual may work further, to try for reforms in the organisation to remove the flaw and perhaps other flaws. Or the individual may want a small change, then return to the comfort and familiarity of the previous state.
      MacDonald's work omits most of the hateful forms of Jewish activity. He blames them for contaminating the populations of many states, but not much for controlling money, and not at all for mass murders and wars in other parts of the world. He says in effect he doesn't care if American troops cause disasters overseas, getting assets for Jews at the expense of the whites. He doesn't foresee other populations' replies, which in effect may be, in time, saying you did nothing to help us, so die.
      Some of the articles published by the Occidental Observer are just book reviews, of the sort designed to try to increase sales. At the very end of 2021, edited diaries of a rich American were reviewed, showing simple reactions to Jewish power.
      In November 2022, there is an article by RockaboatUs, deploring the uselessness of most Americans, and hoping they grow poorer and feebler. This seems part of the Jewish opposition, hoping whites will abandon the wonderful cities they built, and secede. RockaboatUs seems to forget what happened to Hitler, and fail to understand the Jew control over the Führer. Incidentally, the site generally shows no doubts re supposed nukes, and little (if anything) on the implications of the COVID fraud. Not for the first time, with regret I have to abandon the site. In any case judging by responses to my own postings, the downloads from it aren't impressive.

Individualism as a concept   can have widely different interpretations; MacDonald seems not to bother about this fact, but tends to just take the Jewish-promoted version. There's the simple 'independence and self-reliance' version, and (in the Concise Oxford Dictionary) one subsense, 'self-centred ... egoism'.
      To illustrate the problem, consider Bertie Russell praising 'the hermit's temperament' as part of some excellences; he was thinking of a lone researcher pursuing truth on his own in his own way. 'Positive individualism' perhaps. But what of the individualism of a person who simply cares nothing, for example about the Jewish problem? It's individualistic, but of no use—'negative individualism', perhaps. What about someone who joins, and is subservient to, some army, but then does things on his own impulse? Is such a person 'individualistic'?

On the specific topics of the 'Holocaust' and 'Hitler' (Yeager is an unrevised supporter), here's Carolyn Yeager from her site jan27.org quoting MacDonald:
“Yeah, I guess I’m not, uh, I’ve never had any sympathy really, before – I haven’t seen anything that would really, you know, convince me. And I, frankly, haven’t dealt into it very much. My view is that it’s not important for what I’m doing and I don’t think it’s really important – I think what’s really important is the culture of the holocaust, you know, how it’s taught in school, how it’s used to defend Israel, and it’s used as a weapon against people who oppose immigration, and all those things – ah I think those are very important things to discuss. So whether it actually happened, exactly, and all that is something that I don’t think is possible to even go there anymore, is just … just uh … third rail.”
... about Adolf Hitler. You answered, “Oh God, I think that the only term I can use is a disaster. I think that his own personality … got in the way of [the generals] carrying out their strategic military [goals] in World War Two. I think he was, you know, he thought of himself as a general or something. You know, he interfered with policy that should have been left to professionals and I think that that was … horrible, that was a disaster.”

Let me summarise MacDonald's multiple failures, generally caused by his inability to delve and think deeply.
      MacDonald thinks there was a new elite after 1945!—a propaganda triumph for Jews, aware of secret Jewish actions throughout unrecorded history. In fact of course the USA was set up by European elites, a huge project, and Jewish money was a secretive part of European power, notably I think the Bank of England. A lot of revisionist work is applied to discovering the past both of Jews and their collaborators.
      MacDonald doesn't see much need to be original, and reconstruct the world away from Jewish language and attitudes. An example is his emphasis on 'resource competition'. In fact, one Jewish methodology is to aim to collect rents and assets; the invention of churches with officials who have a long-term title to incomes is not what would usually be regarded as competition over resources. MacDonald is unconsciously shuffled away from Jewish finance.
      MacDonald's work also omits the gross flattery used by Jews for their own purposes. An obvious example was the flattery of Americans as they killed and attacked around the world, in particular from 1913/14. At the present time, Jewish flattery of blacks is a pandemic of absurdities, to be discarded when they've been used.
      I doubt that many people view the Occidental Observer as anything more than a club for disgruntled white lightweights who can't write clearly and don't know much, for example on Supposed nuke bombs. It often is, especially when there are pages of silly praise.

      MacDonald's work even where supposedly expert is very feeble. He loves the idea that Scandinavians, not clearly distinguished by him from Swedes, want to be invaded by blacks. The fact is they had thousands of years to import them, without doing so. On long-term evolution, MacDonald doesn't consider far-reaching hypotheses, apparently believing that if he hadn't thought of them, they couldn't be important. A good example is Frank McManus's salt hypothesis.
      On the smaller-scale, but essential, historical data from which hypotheses are made, MacDonald is weak. I found this when avoiding leading questions with KMac, to see what emerged. Neither fascism nor Mussolini are indexed in The Culture of Critique for example. MacDonald seems to have got wrong the entire anti-immigration movement in the 1920s, the nominal object being to keep Italians out. (Tony Benn speaks in 1994 supposedly on Fascism; brilliant propaganda from Benn, carefully regulated, with staged applause. The best revisionist look at Mussolini in my view is benito.pdf by Miles Mathis.)
      Many years earlier, we find the Thirty Years' War. This was notorious for leaving large chunks of Europe in desolation, in a pre-industrial way, something like the war between the US States, but worse. It was clear KMac had no idea of its importance; he thought there must have been tall Swedes in it.
      I noted KMac on China; he seems not to have heard of the immense destruction there—I'll leave him to investigate, certain he will not. With reference to a map by a Mr Murray. 'Chinese Communism' has been a long-term Jewish aim. So has the takeover of Japan. And, behind all this, there have been Jewish world-wide activities, energetic, largely secret, Freemasonic, and possibly uncorrectable.
      For my last entry here, we have, on schedule, an unreliable article 2022/08/04/the-plot-against-australia, attributed to Jason Cannon, and based on Patrick Mullins. It looks at Portnoy's Complaint, described as something like 'The first great novel about masturbation' at the time by Jews in for example The Times Literary Supplement. We have a dual cast—on the one hand, Jews ('the anti-censorship cause', some Australian State leaders, Jewish money in secretive form, 'blasphemous, indecent or obscene' works from a list. (Cannon says nothing useful on these). The Australian Communist Party appears here. Journalistic types, book publishers from Europe (fat bottomed, hook-nosed, small minded), publicists, Jewish newspaper controllers, property developers, funded legal persons, acting in unison, spent years on this.
      This is where the fun starts, but MacDonald's site knows nothing of it. As I said, 'blasphemous, indecent, or obscene' books might have been targeted. However, let me step outside the Jewish-imposed limits here. Jews have a well-deserved reputation for lying—where that reputation has been allowed to exist. There's no 'anti-censorship movement' run by Jews to expose Talmudic lies. There's no 'anti-censorship movement' to expose the control of churches and Christians by Jewish money. There's no 'anti-censorship movement' attempting to expose Jewish actions against China. Or against Vietnamese people, where of course Jews have done everything possible to hide truths. There's no attempt to improve Australian education above the pitiful level of these Jewish t*rds.
      [Sigh. On Sep 22, 2022 KMac wrote a piece on Martha'a Vineyard [rich island off east coast USA] inhabitants' hypocrisy on having a small number of third worlders dumped there before being thrown out.] ‘Those 50 illegals represent less than a millionth of the “enrichment”, that’s already been foisted on the rest of America. (They’re 1/100,000th of the illegals admitted just under Biden.) Vastly poorer [USA] towns have been forced to turn nearly their entire annual budgets over to feeding, housing, educating — and incarcerating — great heaping portions of Third-Worlders, while douchebags in places like Martha’s Vineyard (88% White; 3.7% Black and 1.7% Hispanic) preen about their higher morality..’ — A bit late to be saying that! Figures should have been given decades earlier!

      All this is a tragedy. Jewish issues need many experts to decode and interpret. They need to co-operate in the way that engineering is made up of many subdivisions—civil, housing, transport, military, structures—and medicine should be made up of biology, physiology, biochemistry, epidemiology, history—and history itself of many specialities. Please, dear reader, become expert in Jews, but try not to generate rivalries and hostilities.
      I'm tempted to blame the tenure system. Bertrand Russell concluded that Cambridge University was a 'good place' even if tenure 'was carried very far', and where 'independence of mind could exist undeterred'. This latter point was untrue, unfortunately.

In mid-February 2022, The Occidental Observer online started to carry syndicated stuff from Patrick Buchanan and Ann Coulter, who seem to be still quoted as 'Conservative' by the ridiculous Jewish media. I wrote a short review of Buchanan's oddly-titled ... Unnecessary War.. though the effort of disentangling his attitude to the necessary part seems not worth the effort. Neither of these 'writers' address Jewish issues. MacDonald gave no information on his motives or payments.

In mid-April 2022, looking at the Occidental Observer, we find Buchanan writing on 'vital American interests'. Buchanan will not say the Jewish interests differ from American interests. So his material is worthless. We have a video of Sam Dickson, a lawyer in Georgia, lamenting the hypocrisy of lawyers singing their own praises while not defending cases which ought to be defended, according to traditional rules. All the example he gave (e.g. Leo Frank) were from Jewish sources. He was introduced by someone resembling a bald lumberjack. We see a plaintive letter, which might be fake—a white son of a single mother. MacDonald refers to him superciliously as 'working class', although the person might presumably be where he is through someone's refusal to bow to Jews. The Observer censors anything to do with post-1945 discoveries, keeping rigidly in the mental backwaters of network TV and other US media. The site knows nothing of the truth about J F Kennedy, the 'Cuba Crisis' with Marrano Jews, the mythology of nukes... Their website trying to discuss the Ukraine has an obsolete feel, with outdated propaganda on every topic everywhere. Commenters never seem invited to contribute: for example, Edward Harris (may not be his real name) makes useful personal contributions, but they remain isolated comments. Carolyn Yeager is good on criticism of weak commenters, but is never given an article.
      Time to face the fact that people come to a stopping point, and never progress beyond it.

Note on MacDonald's sources (25 Sept 2021): I'd previously assumed from the lists of books in MacDonald's main three titles, and their lists of names, that all historically important people and writing would be included. I was shocked to find, by computer search, that the word 'Kahal' (or 'Kehillah', a Jewish meeting, for Jews only) is not present anywhere in those books, despite its importance. [Note Dec 2023: I found by chance on p 160 the phrase 'submissive to the kehilla authorities' without explanation. Apologies.] Two influential books in Europe, de Wolski's Jewish Russia and Brafman's Livre du Kahal, are omitted everywhere in MacDonald. Also omitted is Monseigneur Ernest Jouin (1844-1932) of Le péril judéo-maçonnique.
      It seems fair to say that the Kahal system is censored as much as Jews found possible. As are the Holohoax frauds, though I think these are less censored than the idea that WW2 was Jewish.
      Michael Hoffman's Judaism's Strange Gods doesn't discuss the Kahal, either. Nor are they in Shlomo Sand The Invention of the Jewish People (2009...), or in Shahak's Jewish History, Jewish Religion (1994...).

Outline of the Kahal:   The 'Kahal' regards local non-Jewish areas as an empty wasteland occupied by cattle. They wish to gain ownership; this has to be kept secret. The 'Kahal' sells 'rights' to parcels of property to a Jew, and uniquely to one Jew, who is instructed to become the 'true master' of the property and to exploit it as fast a possible. A non-Jew who owns no property can only borrow from the Jew who bought the rights; no other Jew can do business, and the non-Jews must be ruined as rapidly as possible. If they come under the justice system of the country, the Kahal corrupts by money, uses false witnesses, launches 'a pack of factors'.
      [Modified from de Wolski. I don't think it's made clear what happens to the Kahal's income. I haven't seen an algebraic treatment of this policy. And I don't know if outlawry has been used against Jews. But neither, I presume, does MacDonald.]
      The claim that all US digital messages (and of course now most messages are moved digitally) go through Israel is an updated form of Kahal activity. (As is control of personal income information by governments collecting income tax). MacDonald only seems interested in demographic changes.

Social Class within Jews:   The Morein and the Am-Gaaretz, divided the 'Israelites' into two distinct classes—the patricians and the plebeians or 'commoners'. There were six conditions which must be observed: they should not be witnessed, or serve as witness; they may not be initiate into any mystery, or appointed a tutor, or serve as a guardian, or publish his losses. They were, in other words, regarded as low and impure and a slave. Again, there is nothing of this in MacDonald that I could find. MacDonald seems to assume Jews are a monolithic group.

1 June 2021   MacDonald's best-known trio of books were published near the end of the 20th century. (1995, 1998, 1998). MacDonald's book on Individualism therefore had a gestation period of at least 20 years. A not-very-well-known phrase refers to a mountain, labouring to produce a mouse. This is an infinitely disappointing book (MacDonald has taken to publishing Chapter 8 of my 2019 book Individualism and the Western Liberal Tradition..., in five parts. This is the longest chapter in a long book and is basic to the entire project.
      Unfortunately, MacDonald has censored some of my comments on trivial issues like nuclear war, war crimes, and Jewish use of money as a control mechanism. So I'm now taking the view that his work is no longer important. I'll explain why.

MacDonald appears to belong to the Roman Catholic tradition, but of a naive type. He thinks Christianity did well enough, ignoring evidence that it was itself a Jewish product and was in symbiosis with Judaism, forcing the 'goyim' to borrow money from Jews. I can see no evidence he's ever tried any sort of analysis of the benefits and drawbacks of the Church. He appears to be a child of his times, brought up after the Second World War; he seems to take seriously all the sanctimonious stuff on the USA being uniquely moral and generally superlatively honest. He thinks [online talk with F Midjord] that 100 years ago—1920?—whites ran most parts of the world! This naivete shows at many points, notably the hard edges of power. He says nothing on the huge fraud of the 'Holocaust', which must represent one of the most outrageous examples of the use of Jewish propaganda power. He says nothing of any purpose about the 'Federal Reserve'. He is unaware of Jewish science frauds—dangerous in this time of the 'COVID' fraud. He says nothing on the Second World War; presumably he accepts all the numerous lies which buoyed up all the commonly-accepted Jew propaganda. He accepts all the rubbish of 'Lord God' and so on.
      What's sad is his use of very long-term evolutionary material, all, of course, highly dependent on few observations and a mass of speculation. He says there's a cline in Denmark, to do with hunter-gatherers (about whom very little is seriously known). And this is related to Sweden accepting many alien immigrants. He's aware that Swedes are discriminated against in housing, but, as a securely-housed academic, barely mentions that. He's like a safari park owner, contemplating Africans killing rhinos, saying there was a cline in the area thousands of years old of subtribes of rhinos, while ignoring the impending extinction of those animals. He's like a student in an exam, answering the wrong question because he thinks he knows it. Since the cline presumably existed a few thousand years ago, it seems to follow from MacDonald that Danes then must have used their assets to lure alien black immigrants in, and house and feed them—surely nonsense. Netflix might make a film based on that idea.
      Worth noticing perhaps is that his earlier books Separation and its Discontents and A People that Shall Dwell Alone are subtly mistitled. Critics of Jews would be delighted if Jews lived alone somewhere else.
      Another common idea of Jew-approved sociobiological types is the Moral Community. This is the idea that whites, uniquely, turn against their own for reasons of morality.

MacDonald is generally very careful to avoid historical material (unbelievably, he says nothing on the Holohoax, or 9/11, or the Federal Reserve; he takes the conventional view of Hitler) but in the USA 'Civil War' he suddenly understands it completely. The brute facts about this war are of course largely suppressed or forgotten, as in the two World Wars in the following century. I commented on this (Occidental Observer, King of Kings film 1927): 

KMac replied: Saying that I claim that “the vast destruction in Georgia etc is proof they wanted to abolish slavery” is ridiculous.
But it's not ridiculous. There were vast issues including the US Constitution, the economic balance between cotton and iron, and the desire for some for closer control of the USA, and, in the wings, the Rothschild and British. Pretending the issue was slavery was slowly adopted as a spurious rationale.
      KMac continued: It’s critical to understand the moral idealism of the West, and to make an argument you would have to somehow claim that the nineteenth-century intellectuals and politicians I deal with didn’t really believe what they wrote and said. This moral idealism is killing us now.
This reads like something from the Reader's Digest during the Cold War. Even 'nineteenth-century intellectuals and politicians' were aware of the power of oratory and propaganda and funding by backers. MacDonald once said that Jews utter their deceptive lies “with a completely straight face” but is unable to believe that (say) Lincoln might do the same.

Genetics is a science not well understood—largely because of Jewish dishonesty and interference. Consider the treatment of 'eugenics' for example, and the failure to examine the arithmetic of genetic changes. MacDonald talks of genetics in a naive sense, with actual fathers and mothers and their children. But the permutations of viable offspring are vast in number. A parent with one dominant harmful gene will presumably be lucky if he doesn't pass it on, and unlucky if he does. There may be good reasons for offspring and parents to be in conflict. This sort of thing is outside MacDonald's range.
      What is perhaps the weakest feature of MacDonald's work is the absence of any long-term predictions. The world may change into a collection of impulsively-driven Jewish types, groomed and promoted into positions they are unable to fill, plus a mass of intellectually-stunted simpletons. How might that work? At present, Jewish media unite in promoting material which MacDonald interprets as convincing; can anything intellectual survive this regime?

What of MacDonald's early books? I'm led now to take a harsher view of them. As with Henry Ford's apparently Jew-exposing publications, reconsideration is essential. Culture of Critique looks at political movements, so far as they are represented in Jewish-funded Anglosphere Universities. But what about Jews in wars, violence, intellectual frauds generally, business monopolies, and the use of law to their own advantage? A few examples, which as far as I recall are not in MacDonald. He doesn't disentangle the Rothschilds or any of the other Jewish dynasties. He lists many Jews, which of course is useful for people not familiar with the USA. But what of half-Jews, quarter-Jews, and for that matter DNA?
      I reviewed his other books (I think) trying to be positive, though I fear his ideas of 'scholarship' lean him towards long, rather dull passages and a refusal to use diagrams, timelines, any sort of summary, and decent indexes. Meanwhile, The Occidental Observer will remain a publication for small coteries of unintelligent Roman Catholics, Hitler-worshippers, disgruntled victims of Jews who can't find practical activity, probable ex-Soviet agents, people trying to sell books, plus people with genuine concerns, to whom I wish every good luck.

About individualism. It's about us. Why we Europeans are so open to this intellectual takeover so to speak.

We expect wealthy powerful males to control many women.
Hunter-gatherers - 8500 years ago farmers from the middle east gradually going north - 3000 years held off agriculture from [Scandinavia] - 3rd group Indo Europeans very influential approx 2500 BC - down into India, across to Iran
Farmer-derived genes south - hunter gatherers north - adapted to the cold, harsh winters - still genetic North-South gradient -
5:40 Indo Europeans - Ricardo DuChesne - domesticated horses, wagons, steppes, cattle, secondary dairy products - entirely militarized - males would compete to get followings, be best soldiers, militaristic success, followers free to defect - not despotic - kinship less important than in the middle east - military groups at top of the culture - what they call a free market culture -
In the middle east status all based on kinship groups - example ancient Greece, Germanic tribes after fall of Roman Empire
10 min conquering groups, not exterminators - middle ages feudal system - services of various kinds - exploitation - men could rise, upward mobility
after ww2 we couldn't talk about Indo Europeans - data makes it clear they were a real group - inventiveness - free market in ideas
Long appendix on Roman culture - military success - families - republican period very successful - every year there would be war
Western culture has always been open to other influences - it was not a closed society - only in times of extreme emergency would they have a dictator - Rome was very open - continent of Europe - Middle East ... original Roman population was more or less submerged - decadence during the Empire - a sort of failed group structure -
hunter gather much more egalitarian - harsh environment - couldn't have large groups - whereas middle east selection for group cohesion - primeval Scandinavia - hunter-gather - areas on the seashore could support many people for part of the year - consensus decisions - social complexity for part of the year - exogamy was the norm - maritime areas - mix with other families-
20 mins middle east first cousin marriages. Marriage tends to be determined by parents. In Europe kinship less important, love more important - high investment in children - father involvement
21 mins. WEIRD people - western educated industrialized etc - differences in moral reasoning, developmental psychology - ask questions eg on train ticket - should he steal it
In the west we have complicated abstract rules of what is right and wrong - altruistic punishments - other people will punish them even at a cost to themselves if they get away from a group norm.. a part of a moral community - what we call moral communities... people very concerned to be part of a moral community - now moral community created by the 'Left' .. you'll feel ostracised, guilty, not a good person - the worst kind of punishment
25 mins Family structure... in south Europe, families are much more collectivist - brothers under same roof - family owns the land - father - families trade women - families in south Europe married young - north relatively late - N Europe families had servants circulating among households - women much more partners -
30 mins Sweden - extreme individualism - family ties weakest - Swedish state encourages extreme individualism - freeing the individual from obligations - differences of family structure reflects genetics..
31:40 Church so important - really struck me how the Catholic church was regulating sex behaviour of aristocrats, one wife, cannot get divorced, Pope refused to let Philip of France a divorce - no marriage depending on kinship - catholic church - real deep faith that people had in those days - corrupt in early years - simony - high middle ages - church under the control of monastic orders - purged all this - buying and selling of church offices - intense Christian fervour - beautiful Gothic churches -
35 mins people faithful to the church - control over secular elites, tried to break up kinship groups - facilitated individualism - moral universalism - all people have a soul - more egalitarian - church law more egalitarian - canon law - theological view that sincere belief itself couldn't really be punished - a lot of dissent - heresies etc - Protestant Reformation - Renaissance Popes philandering around and so on..
39 mins France is sorta divided north and south-- 17th century - Puritans - beginning with the English Civil War - Puritans beheaded the king - Calvin group strategy - very collectivist - spy on other people - everybody on the same page - Puritans landed at Massachusetts about the 1730s - started Harvard - a lot of talent - very well educated - East Anglia highest IQs - from Scandinavia - culture submerged until 17th C then developed this revolution against the king - selected by the congregation - much more egalitarian
42 mins very strong group boundaries - very good at capitalism - vibrant economy - English crown prohibited boundaries - very successful group - like 9 children per woman - Massachusetts straight line to Oregon - prolific talented group - intellectual elites - utopianism - utopian communities - blueprint of how people should behave - ideal society - world structured as fight between good and evil - cement is morl community - in battle with ultimate evil - south of USA seen as evil because of slavery - abolition movement - puritan descended intellectual - war resulted in 700,000 [sic] men dying with many many more injured, and maimed - if you have a battle between good and evil no sacrifice is too great - willing to punish people like themselves - this sort of set up the Civil War.
    [Before the US 'Civil War', Britain had the Slavery Abolition Act. What is usually omitted is the 1837 Slave Compensation Act, which seems to have been a slaveowners' compensation act. The British Government took out a £15 million loan (worth £1.43 billion in 2020) with interest from Nathan Mayer Rothschild and Moses Montefiore ... paid off by the British taxpayers up to 2015. KMac accepts the propagandist view].
46min I spent a lot of time on these intellectuals, like Ralph Waldo Emerson - sort of social justice warriors - very much a culture of the left - "helping the poor, and immigrants, and hating slavery" - "and so it was a very moralistic culture" - other movements revolving around religion - utopian optimism - wealthier, inventions, new things - progress was obvious - Charles Darwin became much more influential - many concerned with race - pessimistic - idea that people would become just like them - blacks from Africa - meld - Edward Ross, Prof ?Timothy Golden - concerned about Jewish immigration - most of them political, radical - socialist, anarchist - big movement against - Madison Grant, Lothrop Stoddard, David Starr Jordan - more cynical, pessimistic - 1924 immigration law. [Note that KM, incredibly, and with almost infantile US centrality, omits WW1]
51 min - 1924 Immigration Act - ethnic status quo - wasn't long before the rise of Jewish intellectuals - Boas - and esp after 1950 - now [2019] see high percentages of Jews - was a period of ethnic defence - defeated by Jewish elites
53 min- British anti-Slavery groups - Quakers in England - white people most empathetic in the world - real shift in the culture [caused in effect by Jew media] - New Zealand, treated them well - MacDonald says nothing on Jews and Boers, or Jews and China and opium
