Counter-Currents: Name the Jew!

I read this article yesterday at Counter-Currents.

Counter-Currents:

“If there’s one thing internet people like to do these day it’s misrepresent each other. White Nationalists and their adjacents, unfortunately, are sometimes no exception. Tell a guy who’s fond of saying “Name the Jew!” that other races hate him too, and chances are you’ll get called a Jew yourself. At the very least, your JQ credentials will be highly suspect to the NTJ (as I’ve come to call them).

“Naming the Jew,” when doing so is germane to the discussion, is a good thing. Naming the Jew when it is another of our myriad enemies and his actions being discussed, however, is ignorant, and makes one look as though the “namer” is unduly fixated on something, for one reason or another, and incapable of getting past his pet hang-up: naming the Jew. The reason that’s bad is obvious. It suggests he isn’t wise and that his judgment isn’t sound. That is to say, it undermines his credibility. His fixation on the JQ suggests his principles are a kind of single-minded homing pigeon: discontent to rest until he has traveled any distance necessary to get back home to his ideological roost, no matter how far away from it cirumstances have carried him.

If anecdotal experience is any indication, at this point, the NTJ is fuming, spitting… sputtering… beside himself, that someone (me, in this case) could be so blind to the JQ. His fingers are positively twitching, as his invective, zealous to spew, bottlenecks between his brain and typing capabilities. But not so fast, AryanWarrior1488! …”

I started having flashbacks.

Specifically, it stirred up memories of Alex Linder and VNN Forum in its prime around 2003-2005, and the debates that went on over twenty years ago about “Naming the Jew” as a strategy.

A few days ago, I wrote an article about wignatism. Somehow, I forgot to mention in the article that I had seen all of this before and had written extensively about it before: how excessive antisemitism generates cranks, how the cranks turn violent, how they are inherently antipolitical in rejecting any attempt to gain state power, how their tactics are ineffective, how they are anti-Christian and how they put on the trappings of historic National Socialism while being fundamentally unlike their idol.

Oh yeah … that’s right! I developed these attitudes and impressions years ago from watching and debating people like Alex Linder and Glenn Miller. Miller shot and killed a 14-year-old Methodist Eagle Scout and his 69-year-old grandfather outside a synagogue in in Overland Park, KS in 2014. I wrote all about that and how I recognized him instantly and the trial and Miller’s death.
