>My God
*sniffs nose*
>This is precisely the kind of vulgar simplification that perfectly exemplifies the problem with today’s discourse
*pulls shirt*
>You know, the paradox is that I am constantly accused of both being a self-hating antisemite AND a Zionist shill- which should tell you something, no?
*sniff*
>But let me be clear- and this is where people get confused: when I criticize certain forms of anti-Zionism, it is not because I “support Israel” in some simple sense. No!
*wipes spittle off beard*
>What I am against is this fetishization of the palestinian cause by western leftists who use it as a kind of sublime object to fill the void of their own political impotence. You know what I mean
*gestures vaguely*
>and about antisemitism, my God, here we must be very careful. The problem is not that we should “persecute” antisemites… in fact this is already the wrong framing. The problem is that today’s antisemitism comes wrapped in the language of anti-imperialism, anti-capitalism, and so on. It is not the old biological racism, but something more perverse… a kind of ideological displacement where “the Jews” or “the Zionists” function as a fetish to explain all the contradictions of global capitalism
>You know, this reminds me of a joke I once heard in Belgrade
*does not return to the topic of Israel again*

Why has he never commented on Guenon and Evola? Surely he's read the most important thinkers of the 20th century, right?
