“But all the time, the question lingers: might Kevin MacDonald be right about the Jews?”

The issue of MacDonald’s antisemitism should by now have been answered in the affirmative. For anyone even remotely familiar with traditional European antisemitic tropes will find them all laid out in his screeds, albeit packaged in the new language of genetics.

Like traditional antisemitic scholarly writing, MacDonald’s forces Jews into a double bind with his thesis/accusations. For example, when he argues that Jews are programmed to survive this is obviously true of all living objects. Yes when applied to Jews it become a kind of conspiracy “these people will do anything to survive,” or “they are guilty of surviving.” The implication is that the Macdonalds of this world don’t have to do anything to survive.

Moreover, the concept of genetic programming functions as a kind of unconscious in MacDonald’s formulation. Hence, no Jew can defend himself against an accusation of putting the interests of his people first since his defense will be seen as an admission of guilt: “Of course you will deny it,” you have been programmed to think that way.

This means that Jews, and probably all humanity, are denied the possibility of free will.

This leads me to the second point: arguing about free speech in such a context is meaningless. We are all after programmed to speak and write in a certain way and hence dialogue is impossible.
