Prof. MacDonald drives me crazy because he is an antisemite who is rational and does not see the world in black-and-white terms, but recognizes that not ALL the problems of White America are caused by those eeeeevil Jews. The media industry of Hollywood was created and dominated by ethnic Jews from its very beginning, yet MacDonald is able to see that its products do not represent the Jewish character but are a function of the public's demand and the political framework. Thus till the 1960s Hollywood product was highly moral and patriotic as a consequence of the strong controls emanating from political conservatives and from religious and cultural traditionalists that kept a lid on Jewish influence on culture. MacDonald describes quite graphically how fanatical Jewish communist screenwriters and production teams were forced to create films diametrically opposed to their own tendencies and convictions, but agreeable to conservative Christian majority, "doubtless much to the chagrin of the Frankfurt School and the New York Intellectuals who prided themselves in their alienation from that culture."
I think that he describes quite fairly what was going on during the first part of the 20th. Century.
"This all ended when the culture of the left finally triumphed in the 1960s. At that point, when the multi-cultural, anti-White left had seized the high ground in the cultural wars, they had far less reason to engage in the types of cultural criticism so apparent in the writings of the Frankfurt School and the New York Intellectuals. Hollywood and the rest of the American media were unleashed."
MacDonald fails to analyze why the revolution thriumphed. He implies it was the intellectual strength of the Frankfurt School that caused the change. Nonsense. What happened is that the Right Wing White Ethnic forces lost a big war, the Viet Nam war. Loss of wars are unavoidably followed by the public's loss of faith in the regime, by the regime's loss of its self-confidence, and a tendency to give up more or less voluntarily its political and cultural power to the opposition. Which, yes, was the heavily Jewish left.
I was there in this process as MacDonald was, and I was particularly shocked by the popularity of High Hefner's amoral ideology and Gore Vidal's brilliant "pleasure-loving" novels. I enjoyed them but I felt uneasy with pagan ideology. I am not very religious but somewhere in the back of my mind are inscribed the "
diney nidah" (the rules of sexual relations). Hefner and Vidal were everything that is repugnant to Jews. Anyway, I am of the opinion that the golden era of Hollywood was paradoxically while "the lid was on" and also American Judaism had its best time before the sixties. Nowadays it is not reproducing itself, it is disintegrating and falling into pieces, it has lost cohesion and purpose, it is becoming anti-Zionist, and it has adopted the pervert morals of the increasingly pagan American society. MacDonald does not care to think about the fact that the Leftist triumph in America is bad and destructive for the Jews, and in his obsession with cultural issues he forgets that the real cause of the Left's triumph is the defeat of the mighty American Army by barefoot natives in Viet Nam and the consequent dramatic loss of prestige by White American leadership.
Another thing he perceives is that the triumph of the largely communist Left did not bring about the demise of Capitalism in America. Paradoxically, the Left has been left without any ideas about the management of the economy. President Barack Obama, who emerged from the far Left, has appointed Wall Street bankers to manage the economy, which demonstrates the total ideological bankrupcy of Marxism.
