Reddit mentions of The Rise and Fall of Anglo-America

Agreed. Kevin MacDonald's work is very important for understanding what is happening to the Western World, especially the United States. To anyone with a basic facility for pattern matching, it is obvious that Jews are disproportionately involved in efforts that are against the ethnic interests of Europeans and European-derived diaspora peoples. If in doubt, just look at the surnames of those involved in the effort to turn Europe and European diaspora states into Multicultural Secular Theocracies. It's clear that Ashkenazic surnames are highly over-represented among every movement that promotes this process.

What MacDonald's trilogy gives us is a persuasive model for why this is happening by introducing the concept of the "Jewish-dominated intellectual movement" and grounding it in sociobiological theory. This goes far in improving our understanding of this process without resorting to tired conspiracy theories. According to MacDonald's theory, many of the intellectual movements that have contributed to the atomization and de-ethnization of European communities, from Feminism to Whiteness Studies, were founded by Jews as an implicit way of weakening Western society. However, this isn't the result of innate moral wickedness. Simply put, the Ashkenazim, with their higher innate intelligence and higher level of ethnocentrism, are better at advocating for and achieving their ethnic interests within the context of modern mass society than we are. According to sociobiological theory, it is in their interests to pursue these ends at our expense. BTW, this isn't just pseudoscience, even some of the most respected sociobiologists basically agree with MacDonald on this point.

And speaking as an American, exceedingly few of us are aware that these torahless Ashkenazim have largely replaced the role that Anglo-Saxon Protestants once had as the core of the American elite. Many Americans, I think, sense that something is deeply wrong with modern American society. That is, they're aware that the American elite loathes traditional Anglo/Christian culture with a passion. But few understand that this is likely because today the WASP ascendancy that founded the country has been replaced by what MacDonald describes as a Jewish-dominated "hostile elite" that does not identify with the people it rules. This has even been noticed and commented upon by some self-critical Jewish intellectuals in the United States, both leftwingers such as Philip Weiss and rightwingers such as Lawrence Auster, as well as mixed race academics such as Eric Kaufmann. Naturally, with the USA as the sole superpower, this fact has important consequences, not just for Americans of Christian European descent, but for all Western countries that are effective satellite states of the USA. After all, history shows that whatever intellectual movement has its start in America eventually finds a home in Europe.

However, with that said, I also think that MacDonald and his adherents go way too far in ascribing blame for what ails us soley to the Jews. To me it is obvious that liberal Jewish communities such as the ones advocating for Syrian refugee settlement in the EU, are assimilating to a universalist/open borders/one world ideology, that as Mencius Moldbug has argued, has its origins in liberal American Mainline Protestant Christianity. This assimilation process is so far along today that it is difficult to tell exactly what values separate liberal Protestant Christians from these lunatic tikkun olam Jews such as George Soros. Anti-semites completely ignore this process, however, since it blows a hole in their worldview. After all, how is it in the interest of European Jews to flood the countries they reside in with anti-semitic Arabs? That doesn't make any sense. They also ignore the complicating issue of intermarriage between Jews and Gentiles.

So although I think MacDonald's theories are an important contribution to understanding the psychology behind European dispossession, I think that ethnic self-interest on the part of Jews only explains part of the problem. I basically agree with Paul Gottfried that we've completely "lost our cotton-picking minds." But whatever you think of the origin of this ideology being peddled by tikkun olam Jews, it must be admitted that it has a strangely powerful resonance amongst us and we need to find out why that is to effectively combat it.
