Savage discovers white nationalism
Last week I expressed disappointment that blogger John Savage, who had been an intellectual ally of this website, has sided with the anti-Semite Tanstaafl. Savage replies to me at his website with strange accusations against me, and I reply to him. In another blog entry, Savage, who up to a few weeks ago frequently expressed his admiration for and indebtedness to my work, now protests the fact that "Lawrence Auster ... generally insists that any daring, radical proposal be made by himself." What am I, I reply at Savage's site, the intellectual equivalent of an alpha male, monopolizing all the sexy ideas for myself? Since Savage now has such a problem with me, I continue, he ought to forget about me and develop his own ideas. Unfortunately, the ideas Savage now wants to develop include the anti-Semitic take on the Jewish problem, a subject he says I have suppressed. He even states his new found preferences for white nationalists whom he describes as Nazi-like.
What Savage really means when he says that I refuse to discuss the Jewish issue is that I reject anti-Semitism. For some examples of the way I do discuss the Jewish issue, see this, this, this, and this.) Email entry |
