Comment not Approved by American Renaissance

This has nothing to do with the NYT. I posted a comment (LINK) to an article on the American Renaissance website which was approved, but my response to a reply which seemed to blame Zionists for more than I thought reasonable was not approved. I though that I made some good points, so I'm posting it here:

One must remind oneself that not all Jews were Zionists. Certainly, during WW1, most German Jews identified strongly with their German fatherland - to the extent that they were prepared to fight and die for it, against their fellow Jews on the Allied side.

To the extent that Jews were responsible for the defeat and humiliation of Germany in WW1, they paid dearly for it when, as a consequence, the Nazis rose to power.

Certainly, European Jews bear some of the blame for the blight of European civilisation, perhaps more than their numbers would justify, but trying to put most of the blame onto them is madness.

It's no good blaming anyone or any group for our troubles. We are ALL to blame, Jew and gentile.

We need to recognise the root cause of our troubles in the perverted Darwinian nature of the state itself, which has caused ALL past civilisations to decline and fall. The only reason that the Jews have survived so long as a people, is because they didn't have a state of their own to betray them. When one state turned on its Jews, other states took them in.

We are taught to believe that the state exists to SERVE society at large, but nothing could be further from the truth. The primary purpose of the state (including the democratic state) is what it has always been, namely, to facilitate society's SELF-exploitation to the personal advantage of its ruling elites and favoured (especially wealthy and priestly/academic) clients, at the expense and ultimate self-destruction of society at large.

See BLOG in which I elaborate further on these ideas.

Britain's Responsibility for First World War

A Century Ago, Einstein’s Theory of Relativity Changed Everything

By Dennis Overbye, Nov. 24, 2015 (LINK to article)

"Cheered on, to his disgust, by most of his Berlin colleagues, Germany had started a ruinous world war." 

Wrong! Germany got involved in a European war, for which it was no more -  or less - to blame than its main adversaries, Russia and France.

It was Britain, my own country, which decided to turn this European war, which probably would have been over by Christmas 1914, into the First World War, and to stick with it for 4 long bloody years (costing millions of lives), until, with America's help, "victory" was achieved, Germany defeated and humiliated, and the way paved for the rise of Nazism, WW2 and the Holocaust.

I know this isn't the subject of this piece, which commemorates Einstein's General Theory of Relativity, but it is no less important. In human terms it is probably more important, because it is our refusal to recognise our own dire political failings, piling all the blame on the Germans instead, that has got us into the sorry political state we are in, and which we won't succeed in getting out of until we do recognise our own failings.

We need a Copernican or Einsteinian revolution and change of paradigm in the social and political sciences, as we have had a number of in the physical sciences. Otherwise, our civilisation will not survive this century.
