For Sombart, American capitalism was instead the product of heavy initial settlement by Jews and crypto-Jews (by which he meant Marranos, Huguenots, Puritans ...). "America in all its borders is a land of Jews." "[T] he United States (perhaps more than any other land) are filled to the brim with the Jewish Spirit." "In the face of this fact, is there not some justification for the opinion that the United States owe their very existence to the Jews? ... For what we call Americanism is nothing else, if we may say so, than the Jewish spirit distilled" (30, 38, 44). i'm still reading - thank you Tue, Nov. 27th, 2007 02:15 am (UTC)
Even "...Hegelian synthesis of seeming opposites" sounds rather courageous nowadays. It's also very interesting where he gets into Paul's dualism and condemnation of flesh (carnal flesh etc) and Marcion's dualist position. "...they will not become Christian, but will make us Jews" - sounds very relevant :) Hitchens is nowhere near Nirenberg obviously. He's full of lies, frankly. Look: "...the harshness Amis was canvassing was not in the least a recommendation, but rather an experiment in the limits of permissible thought." - this is such a whitewash. I don't think he should be taken seriously. Or look at this: "One would have to have a capacity for fantasy of something like that order to believe in the Ronan Bennett universe of modern persecution where "those who point to the illegality of Israeli occupation are anti-semites. Those who protest against the war in Iraq are al-Qaida sympathisers and moral relativists." In which known world is that happening?" He must be blind and deaf to ask questions like this. And thanks very much for the other links you gave below. Tue, Nov. 27th, 2007 02:58 am (UTC)
In the same fictional context, Hitchens falls short of his agnostic journalistic namesake Christopher Lucas, likewise belatedly and tremulously reconnecting with his rudimentary Yiddishkeit. I shall have a word or two to expand on the comments I addressed in his regard to our mutual friend. Tue, Nov. 27th, 2007 03:11 am (UTC)
> Jewish symbiosis in the Anglosphere see - i was correct to combine links to both articles in one post :) > The self-pity of the mighty — > it’s so pathetic.” it is indeed :))) и - да, ваша переформулировка рассуждения Ника Бострома мне, несомненно, очень близка. Это несмотря на то, что с самим рассуждением я не знаком. Придется ознакомиться - спасибо за ссылку. да-да, "Кристофер Хитченс — это не голова". хуже того, как я недавно сказал в другом месте, глупость атеиста особенно раздражает, поскольку до некоторой степени себя с ним идентифицируешь. это относится и к тому, что пишет Пинкер о сознании. раздражает.

Bostrom critically relies on the kind of probabilistic reasoning that many found objectionable in its original applications by John Leslie. Still, the least that can be granted is that the shoe is now on the other foot. Tue, Nov. 27th, 2007 04:40 am (UTC)
Camus is good either way i guess. про "читателей газет" Цветаева писала даже немножко раньше :) Wed, Nov. 28th, 2007 08:32 pm (UTC)
i wonder if you agree with "unconvincingly" in the following statement: Some have stressed (to my mind unconvincingly) the importance of anti-Judaism in pre-Christian societies. it's from this "pariah" article. Wed, Nov. 28th, 2007 09:49 pm (UTC)
