A solid case explaining why Jews have been hated for thousands of years everywhere they have lived in large numbers

May 6, 2018

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

“Just your typical anti-Semitic ranting: the continuation of hundreds of years of scapegoating Jews” This is pretty much what passes as a (negative) book review for the low star reviewers. At the next level, someone might find a handful of errors in a 500+ page book and pounce on them in an effort to discredit the entire book.

I believe that the author makes a solid case explaining why Jews have been persecuted for thousands of years, everywhere they have lived in large numbers. It’s not because everyone else in the world is intolerant and hateful, while the Jews are blameless. It’s the actions of the Jews themselves – not every last one of them, but enough to produce a distinct pattern that is timeless. Just a few cases over the last century illustrate the problem: In 1939 over 60% of Stalin's secret police leadership (death squad leaders) were Jews to the present day where the majority of the top management and television anchors at CNN (a biased, lying, hateful network working to undermine historic America with multiculturalism and massive third world immigration) are Jews. They have been key figures in America's communist party and gave the Soviet Union America's atomic bomb secrets.

I gave the book a 4-star review because it was just too detailed for me and contained a bit too much repetition. I think it could easily been reduced to half its size. Otherwise a great book that presents a solid case that can only be countered by “arguments” such as those listed in my first paragraph.

Why is it that only white gentiles can be vilified, critiqued, and criticized in our politically correct world?

September 12, 2016

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

I read. Actually I read a lot. I grew up in Southern California, and was a hard core left winger after getting my degree in Economics. I am still a registered Democrat, but over the years, l found myself feeling more and more alienated by the left wing. The left wing incessantly says we must be tolerant of others and we shouldn't be "divisive" but they consistently allow for the vilification of white people, and western civilization. They will incessantly smear white gentiles, but they dare not criticize the present or past wrongdoings of any groups that are not white: for instance, just try to get a left winger to attack the ritual murders or cannibalism of the Aztecs or other native american tribes. Trying to get a left winger to acknowledge the Barbary slave trade is like pulling teeth, but they will drone on endlessly about slavery in the US.

I used to allow for this intellectual dishonesty, but seriously began to tire of it.

I then began to wonder why we had such "protected groups" that were immune to any criticism or critique, yet my group (white gentiles) were allowed to be made fun of on a regular basis in academia (haha, the native americans didn't like the immigrants from Europe because they hardly bathed and they smelled foul), the press, and hollyweird.

Then I read Culture of Critique. Boy, what a whopper of a book. If you are political, this will explain 95% of human political behavior.

When it comes to predicting human behavior (for all humans except suicidal, self-hating white gentile leftists), Sociobiology does explain exactly how the overwhelming majority of humans will react given any circumstance. Why do blacks get mad when a black person is shot by the police, but they couldn't care less about a white person shot by the police? Why do mexicans get upset by US controls on immigration, but they aren't concerned by mexico's draconian and drastic immigration laws? It's all about genetic fitness and genetic interests.

Kevin MacDonald explains how things became so anti-white in the western world. Why the white guilt constantly being pushed in academia and the media? Why is in group bias attacked viciously when white gentiles do it, but it is actually promoted and FUNDED (by the Ford Foundation (La Raza), George Soros (Black Lives Matter)) for virtually EVERY group that isn't white gentile?

I didn't believe Macdonald at first. As with most authors, I take their opinions/ideas and then test them in the real world. After reading Culture of Critique, I started paying attention to WHO was pushing for white guilt....WHO was pushing for multiculturalism.....WHO was pushing for so called "diversity".......WHO was pushing for loose immigration/open borders, and amnesty for those who broke the law and immigrated illegally? Over and over and over again, when I pulled back the curtain and did my research, I found that Macdonald was spot on.

His book is now part of my "trinity of truth" series of books in my personal library: Sociobiology by E.O. Wilson, and The History and Geography of Human Genes by Cavalli-Sforza are the other two books. All three books absolutely destroyed my ability to be a white gentile left winger. They show that anyone that is a white gentile with leftist beliefs is a suicidal, naive, indoctrinated fool.

BTW, virtually every one star review I read looks like reviewer did not read the book. Shame on these people for trashing a book they didn't even read. They should at least write a disclaimer admitting they didn't read it.

If you are looking for a well documented book with lots of quotes, hard core research, and plenty of footnotes by a trained academic, this is it. This book will undoubtedly change your world view, regardless of who you are.

Challenges comprehension, convictions

December 3, 2017

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

How this book is written: Opinions are driven using references. Within a paragraph or two, the author does his best to set historical tone. He includes critique by media and public figures. The reader should find little reason to charge the author with deceptive use of obscure primary sources. A bias is disclosed in the preface, but the work always remains respectable.

It's not an easy read. The author uses a difficult sentence structure at times. Paragraphs could take 5 minutes to fully comprehend. I would consider CofC graduate or upper division social studies. If you are concerned, the Preface to the Kindle 2013 Edition is generously given in the above link. That alone took me a week to read.

Dr. MacDonald is frequently active on twitter and engages as any retired professor would. Two books preceded CofC, earning him respect outside academia. By reading the third, you have done more than every critic but one (info in 2013 Kindle Preface). CofC challenges comprehension, but should not offend any reader. Every member of Western Culture who values fair representation will be amazed throughout this book.

Excellent book. This is a scholarly investigation into the unbelievable influence both cultural and political that a small minority has come to exert over the USA. It delves into the depths of deep seated hatred that this minority has for Christians and the Republic. A must read.

Infuriatingly Fact Based and Well Documented

June 9, 2015

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

A difficult book to read as it challenges my preconceptions and backs up its conclusions with documentation. Some folk want to kill the messenger, but the message is well-supported by the facts. Or, maybe they want to kill the messenger because it is well-supported by the facts? I could only read it in fits and starts, but eventually got through it. This s not the sort of book one reads for pleasure, but for edification.

breathtakingly refreshing. although macdonald has at times a sense of repetitiveness, his insight and earnesty is valuable, particularly in a society today so heavily dominated by the media and false liberalism produced in our print media and publications, this especially makes it a most important read.
