Neocon Youth League leader Noah
Rothman unleashed a screed the other day, calling for war upon the
people he describes as “outnumbered losers.” These are people the rest of us
know as Americans. For the increasingly shrill and deranged neocon cult, anyone
clinging to the outmoded concept of citizenship is a useless loser. The post
itself was mostly boiler plate cosmopolitan globalism, but his tweet promoting
it made it sound like he wanted to genocide the white population of America.
Here’s the tweet.

As Steve Sailer pointed out,
this sounds like a call to marginalize the tens of millions of Americans that
hold opinions Rothman does not like. It has that “through any means necessary”
smell to it you see with radicalized crazies. When this was pointed out,
Rothman did what these guys always do when they face resistance, which is play
the victim card. It’s the same cry-bully act the cat ladies employ. They
always start talking about the backlash, after they have aggressively applied
the front lash.
As I pointed out the other day, these people
are playing with fire. What a Rebecca Klein is doing is creating people with no
choice but to become a guerrilla, at war with the system that dispossessed
them. What Rothman is proposing to do is de-legitimize wide swaths of political
opinion, and thereby exclude the people who favor those opinions. He’s
proposing to make half the country enemies of the faith. That’s how you end up
in a world of car bombs and targeted assassinations. That’s not a world for
soft men like Rothman.
This is something I’ve noticed about all radicals. It is those
in the greatest need of protection by the system, who are the most inclined to
abuse the system, by turning it into an instrument of terror. Using the media
to have political opponents driven from their positions is sort of thuggery we
associate with autocrats. Internal exile, where someone is allowed to live in
their community, but is shunned out of fear of association, was a feature of
Russian totalitarianism. Authoritarians always enjoy the support of the weak.
In the case of the neocons, there is also what appears to be a
genetic predisposition to duplicity. The whole project was kicked off by
men who were dishonest even by the standards of communism. Run off by the Left,
they connived their way into Buckley Conservatism, passing themselves off as a
newfangled form of cosmopolitan conservative. Now that the Right has finally
figured out it was a con, and they are in need of a new host, these people are
retooling their scam as classical liberals.
Maybe it is just monkey see, monkey do, but there really does
appear to be a level of coordination on this front. Ben Shapiro is fond of
passing himself off as a classical liberal, all but claiming direct ancestry to
the Founders. Jonah Goldberg likes
wearing the beard of classical liberalism. As we saw when they infiltrated
mainstream conservatism, the neocon project begins with subtly undermining and
co-opting the host. They are now hard at work redefining classical liberalism
to be multiculturalism with a tricorn hat.
Before anyone starts howling about antisemitism, liberal Jews in
America have always been astonishingly honest in their political dealings.
Bernie Sanders, for all is faults, is not trying to fool anyone about who he is
and what he advocates. At the same time, Jews in paleo-conservatism
have been the most strident in opposing the neocons. What we’re talking about
is a weird Jewish sect with roots in the old Russian Empire. I’ll note that
Noah Rothman was a Russian Studies major
and often wakes to the sound of hoofbeats.
Paul Gottfried appears to be right that this eternal hostility
to the host is a peculiar feature of some Eastern European Jews.This talk he gave at the Property and Freedom conference
on the subject is worth the time. I would add that it appears that these people
have developed an identity that is negative. It is based on having an eternal
enemy against whom they wage a holy war. The Soviets filled that role for a
long time. Then it was the Muslim radicals for a while and now it is the
population of their host nation.
Another element of this is the suicidal instincts of the
neocons. In many respects, they resemble the twelver cults, in that they believe
they must live their lives in order to bring about then end times. You get the
sense they are itching for a confrontation with Russia, because they are hoping
for nuclear war. Similarly, the agitation and provocation we see in the Rothman
column suggests they are trying to conjure an antisemitic backlash. In the
absence of hoofbeats and shattering glass, they are without purpose and
identity.
Lucky
for them and for us, antisemitism has never been part of the American culture.
In fact, most white people find it ugly and vulgar. That’s not likely to
change, no matter how many people read Kevin McDonald’s books. Instead, contra
Rothman, it is the neocons who are being overwhelmed and neutralized by a
rising tide of demographic realism and economic nationalism. Cosmopolitan
globalism has been tried and found wanting by the vast majority of Western men
and is slowly being yanked out by the root.
