Suppose, for example, we grant the JQers their premise that our black fellow citizens should never have been granted civic equality. How can anyone seriously believe that, were it not for the Jews, Jim Crow would still be in force? How can a nation “dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal” tolerate second-class citizenship in perpetuity for the descendants of those it once enslaved? So, yes, Jews were heavily involved in the civil rights movement. But Christian America would have arrived at some version of the 1964 Civil Rights Act and the 1965 Voting Rights Act, even without a single Jew involved. It may have taken longer, and some of the details would have differed, but the conclusion was all but foreordained.
Indeed, Tocqueville’s masterwork Democracy in America essentially predicts the leftward drift of the country and does so without ever mentioning Jews. For example, Tocqueville all but says that what we today call second-wave feminism will eventually find its way to America. It already existed among his contemporaries in Europe, and he saw how the democratic passion for equality inexorably brings “down all the imaginary or real barriers that separate man from woman.” So yes, both Friedan and Firestone were Jews, but the founder of second-wave feminism, Simone de Beauvoir, was not. Nor, might I add, were countless of her epigones, from Catharine MacKinnon to Susan Moller Okin.
On these questions, as on all others ranging from immigration to the sexual revolution, JQers notice the Jews, but never the much greater number of gentiles. The JQers also never seem to notice all the countries without a conspicuous Jewish presence, from Germany to Canada, that underwent cultural revolutions in the second half of the twentieth century. If the JQ were true, one would expect countries like Ireland and Norway, that are all but judenfrei, to be strongholds of Christian nationalism, rather than the multicultural EU sub-units they are.
Most of all, the JQers do not seem to notice just how dumb gentiles appear to be in their worldview. Gentiles, we are forced to conclude, are driven like cattle by their Jewish overlords. And though this has been going on for generations, the gentiles are no wiser to it. They continue to swallow whatever nonsense is peddled by the latest coterie of radical Jews. The JQ begs the GQ. Kevin MacDonald, a former professor of psychology at a second-rate state school who wrote a dissertation on wolves, and low-level Hill staffers, it is true, have figured it all out. But the greatest minds of the West, including the greatest minds on the right, somehow missed it all. And they still refuse to see it.
