From the Chateau:

On his blog, tucked in the comment section of a post about Hugh Hewitt’s extreme cuckiness, Liger of the Blogosphere demurs,

That you say “liberal Jews and neocon Jews” instead of just saying “liberals and neocons” is anti-Semitic because you are implying some sort of special Jewish Conspiracy where none actually exists. These are political movements that aren’t controlled by Jews, and are not in any way related to Judaism. The only reason why Jews are disproportionately represented among media pundits is because it’s a high-IQ occupation and Jews have genetically higher IQ than gentiles.

This is a self-serving lie that Lawgic Trap of the Blogosphere often regurgitates when the heat is coming on. Yes, Jews have higher average IQs that boost their representation in many cognitively demanding and particularly verbal-oriented fields, but Jews are greatly over-represented in Left Wing movements and groups above and beyond their representation levels in other fields that attract Jewish participation, and this latter observation can’t be chalked up solely to IQ.

Wildly disproportionate Jewish attraction to Left Wing causes and Leftist groups is a consequence both of their IQ and of their distinct personality traits — call it the Tikkun Olam Triad, a suite of personality factors that predisposes Jewish temperament toward preachiness/radicalism, feelings of superiority, and neuroticism. These traits, coincidentally, are characteristics that are typical of Left Wingers, Jew and non-Jew alike.

If Jewish IQ was all that mattered (and not Jewish psychology), as Lamb of the Blogosphere asserts, then we would see Jews punching as far above their weight in Right Wing movements and groups as they do in Left Wing movements and groups.

Do we? The evidence I will present here says no.

First, a quick discussion concerning definition of terms. What Limber Sophist of the Blogosphere would call a “right wing” group is not necessarily what the majority of Americans would call right wing.

As recent events have clearly demonstrated, neocons are not “right wing”, so you can’t count Jewish neocons among the ranks of the Right. (Robert Kagan just jumped ship to vote for Hillary, because he has a visceral hatred for Trump’s nationalism and tacit pro-White Gentilism.) And libertarianism, where Jewish representation is also disproportionate, is basically a socially liberal ideology hitched to open borders and low taxes on the 1%.

Any group or ideology of the Right that could justifiably be called right-wing would have to incorporate some features of nationalism and race/sex awareness. The “Right” is nothing if it isn’t grounded in uncomfortable truths about human nature. The starkest dividing line between Left and Right is the belief (or disbelief) in Equalism – the religion of those who prefer to blame all human inequality on oppression and discrimination rather than on innate differences in group and individual aptitudes.

The correct way to determine if Jewish over-representation in Leftist organizations is due to their unique personality inheritance or to their mean IQ is to control for IQ, which means finding White ethnicities whose mean IQs rival that of Jewish mean IQ.

Jewish IQ is higher than the overall White average. But separating out White subgroups and comparing average IQs, we find that Episcopalians edge out Jews, and Lutherans are only about a point lower than Jews. Mormons also score quite high, falling just a point or two behind Jews in average IQ. So a more relevant comparison to determine if Jews are over-represented among Left Wing and liberal groups as a consequence of their mean IQ or of their mean psychological profile would be one between Jews and Episcopalians, Lutherans, and Mormons.

Here is a graphic showing the political preferences of US religious groups.

26% of Jews lean toward or identify with the Republican Party, (tbh that’s a little higher than I expected). 64% of Jews identify with the Democrats.

39% of Episcopalians are Republican. 49% are Democrat.

Mainline Lutherans are 43% GOP, 47% Democrat.

Mormons are 70% (!) GOP, 19% Democrat.

The data are clear: Jews gravitate to Left Wing organizations, occupations, and ideologies because they are UNIQUELY attracted to Leftism INDEPENDENT of their mean IQ. One can thus infer that Jews, on average, possess personality attributes that drive them into Leftist movements and that predispose them to happily believing Leftist lies.

(More precisely, IQ is a PARTLY INDEPENDENT variable of political ideology. Generally, higher IQ is associated with more Leftism. But Jewish Leftism is influenced by their group psychology as well as by their mean IQ.)

Lightly Ethnocentric Eskimo of the Blogosphere is not a bad guy. I like him. I read him. His tribe could use more exceptional Realtalkers, however inconsistent, like him. On most topics, he’s more right than wrong. But he’s also an emotional human (despite appearances to the contrary), and that means he has a lot of trouble overcoming the demands of his ego when the subject turns darkly and ominously against his self-conception. Bias and an inability to confront the truth squarely and unflinchingly leaches into his analysis when it’s his people, or (I’ve noticed) the subject of obesity, under the shivoscope.

Despite his personal shortcomings as a blogger, Lardo of the Blogosphere strikes me as a mostly sincere advocate for the Right, and he understands, at least on an intellectual level (and as far as I can remotely surmise his true feelings), that a majority White Gentile nation is good for the Jews. But Listicle Editor of Prole Activities of the Blogosphere suffers from an ailment common among old school HBDers: what I call “IQology”, the belief that all human behavior can be superficially explained by differences in mean IQ.

COMMENTS:

* All minorities tend to favour left wing politics. Heck, even Catholics tend to be lefties wherever they are in the minority. They even take it to the same crazy extremes: Sinn Fein, anyone?

Jews are both really smart and a small minority in most of the world, so they tend to be wildly overrepresented in the leadership of left wing causes and organizations.

However, in their own state, they revert to natural type and have a normal spread of left to right, with a leaning to the right given their precarious demographics in the region.

Listen, this is Occam’s Razor talking: if you have a simple explanation, like minority status, that explains a particular phenomenon, like why Jews lean left in most of the world but not in their own country, you don’t need to resort to wildly speculative notions like genetic differences between Jews in Israel and Jews elsewhere.

* The jews in Israel vote different than the jews in other countries because Leftism hurts the nation it’s implemented in. And they know that. And they want to cause that harm. They don’t implement that harm in Israel because that would be stupid; heck, look at what those policies are doing to the rest of the world. “You want we should be like England? How would that be good for the Jews?”

* It will be interesting to look at the Jews in France which happen to be more similar to Israel, i.e. larger number of Sephardic Jews and slightly more traditional.

In Israel it is the Sephardic which tend to vote for the right. Within the ashkenazi there is slight majority to the left. The ultra orthodox vote to religious party according to their specific sect and it has nothing to do with right or left, they basically try to join any coalition.

But I do agree that in general, the Jews being a small minority just vote for whatever works for them, it might be that in France it now moves to the right which is tougher on the Arabs, in the US it was traditionally the left because it was better for the Jews. I am not so sure it is going to continue this way though.

* Orthos only started going conservative when the blacks started openly attacking them in their neighborhoods. The Crown Heights Riots led directly to Giuliani’s election in more ways than one.

* “26% of Jews lean toward or identify with the Republican Party”

–They were pissing in the tent– and thanks to Trump, now they’re pissing off.

* Any jew who refers to me as a “gentile” has already lost my support. I don’t care what he has to say after that.

* NRO just keeps doubling down and down with their Trump Hate. Now just why would the leading neocon mouthpiece loathe the Don so much that it obviously prefer communist-lite Dems?

I know I’m preaching to the choir, but these NRO people are rats.

* I met Hugh Hewitt back in 2003 or so when I still listened to AM Cuckradio. This was when I still believed that the system could be changed by supporting the GOP (they were still pretending to care about whitey back then). Anyway, Hugh is a cuck poster child with one of the worst cases of gay-face I’ve ever seen.

Hired a Jew lawyer once. He ran circles around my previous WASP attorney. Money well spent.

* It would have been nice if you had gone into the Tikun Olam concept a little more, which I am convinced is at the root of a lot of Jewish predatory behavior. A belief that God (or History, as Moses Hess and his protege Marx would have it) has ordained you and your tribe to transform the world into a venue that solely benefits you and your tribe, I think goes a long way to explaining collective Jewish behavior. The religious/atheist distinction also is totally immaterial. Judaism is a quasi-atheist religion anyway (inasmuch as the “god” of Judaism is actually just the collective Jewish people).

* I think its also how the ashkenazi evolved as a market minority, they were never adapted for producing and civilizing, like agriculturalists or hunters, their entire evolved existence has always been as a parasite on a wealth producing host.

* Jews gravitate to Judaism. The details: Jews gravitate to an egotism based on a God-given superiority and goy (other nation) conquest. Jews are a helpmate people to the globalists as Christians are insomuch as they are helpmates to the Jews by insisting on reconciliation and thus a new world order per Pauline doctrine and trito-Isaiah. I have beaten this horse to death in two of my posts. Leftism is the vanguard of moving humanity down the road to serfdom. So-called conservatism or rightism is the rearguard, what leftism was 10 years previously, 9 years previously, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1…[either Westerns will rise up or they won’t, talk is talk, campaigning is talk, blogging is talk: c’est la vie. For everything there is a season. Now it is enough to name thy enemy. ]

* Biden: Jewish leaders drove gay marriage changes

WASHINGTON (AP) — Vice President Joe Biden is praising Jewish leaders for helping change American attitudes about gay marriage and other issues.

Biden says culture and arts change people’s attitudes. He cites social media and the old NBC TV series “Will and Grace” as examples of what helped changed attitudes on gay marriage.

Biden says, quote, “Think — behind of all that, I bet you 85 percent of those changes, whether it’s in Hollywood or social media, are a consequence of Jewish leaders in the industry.”

Biden says the influence is immense and that those changes have been for the good.

Biden was speaking Tuesday night at a Jewish American Heritage Month reception hosted by the Democratic National Committee. He says Jewish values are an essential part of who Americans are.

* n the “The Bell Curve”, Murray and Herenstein imply a correlation between the IQs of Ashkenazim and Northern Poles (no surprise, since they share so much genetic material). High European IQ is strongly associated with Baltic/North Sea ancestry. These are also, coincidentally or not, the whitest people in the world.

However, as CH implies, Jewish leftism is a more complicated phenomenon. I believe it is ultimately scriptural and geographical, derived from Isaiah- “light unto the nations” exceptionalism and the Diaspora resulting from exile after the Bar Cochba revolt. Being stateless, the Jews developed an anti-nationalist cosmopolitanism which persists to this day. Whatever you may think of Israelis, their agenda is pretty straightforward. The same cannot be said for Tribe-in-Exile, as the perfidious neocons are proving with their imminent return to the Democratic Party (Kagan is only the first rat to abandon ship).

I am actually more philo-semitic than most around here, because I actually appreciate Jewish intelligence and its contributions to the arts and sciences; but the best advice ever given in this regard was what Frank Pantangali said to Michael Corleone:

“Your father liked Hyman Roth, your father respected Hyman Roth, your father did business with Hyman Roth. But your father never trusted Hyman Roth”.

* Prior to 1880, Jews were fairly well assimilated in the US (they were largely English, German, or Sephardic traders and used to a modern Western nations for hundreds of years). Bear in mind that Jewish/Christian relations were so good at the time that Disraeli ran the UK and Judah Benjamin was the #2 of the Confederacy.

US Jews and Euro Jews swung sharply left after the Trotsky Jews of the Russian Steppe (very poor and very commie) from mud stetles were refugees and swamped the West by the millions. These Jews were utterly alien and hostile to Western values. They were kerosene on the West and Western Jewry. Bolshevik and Nazi movements were blowback. 90% of US Jews have this background.

Takehome: psychodrama refugees make bad immigrants.

A savvy Jew will even have a radar for Jews who were historically assimilated versus those not: William Shatner vs. Leonard Nimoy.

Israel has even had a bitch of a time assimilating the Trotskyites (send them to IDF boot camp for three generations). They finally did assimilate them fairly well, which is a hopeful sign. Israeli Jews are hardcore paleocon types and nothing like US Jews.

The Trumpening will mark a high point for Jewish Republican vote in NY/NJ. There is hope.

Jewish intelligence is best measured by Nobel Prizes, etc. where they are in a league of their own. Average intelligence mixes in inbreds, etc. The right tail of the bell curve is huge. I know lots of Jews with 160+ IQ’s.

WN forums / Stormfront bat about .400 with Jewish issues. (Tikkum Olam is a recent leftism movement, minor point in Jewish theology).

* I am proud to be in the 26% of Jews who are not Democrats. Not only am I conservative, I abhor the neoconservatives that many Jewish Republicans are attracted to. I felt a sense of euphoria when Eric Cantor lost his primary. I am totally pro-Trump, anti-establishment, anti-cuckservative. So we are out there. I enjoy Lion’s blog. I like that there is another Jewish person who thinks like I do on most issues. Although I would still read it if he wasn’t Jewish because it is interesting to me.

Perhaps I am in the minority of Jews (and this could influence my political opinions) but my self image is of a white person more than being Jewish. When I leave the house the world perceives me as (very) white guy, not Jewish guy.

Jews tend to have high verbal IQs but not especially high spatial IQs. I think I am an extreme case of this. I am so poor at physical tasks that I have had people call me “idiot”. If they saw my overall IQ score (and could appreciate what it represented) they would probably faint.

* A phenotype’s character, observable over hundreds or even thousands of years, cannot be “ultimately scriptural” … because scripture doesn’t actually drive selection. You can toss the “tikkun olam” thing out as redundant: every phenotype comes up with ways to dominate its space and justify its dominance, if human. In the simplified scenario implied in all this, a book counts for more than having coming into existence in the southern mercantile latitudes, losing a very valuable piece of real estate, or being cramped in European tenements and looked at askance by the natives.

Jewish will to power is a special case of what they used to call amoral familism: that’s it. Jewish intelligence, which, as Cochran & Harpending argued, may have come under intense selection in Europe, certainly didn’t originate there — read the Book of Isaiah, or any of the prophets, and you’ll see the whole Jewish attitude prefigured: “preachiness/radicalism, feelings of superiority, and neuroticism” par excellence.

Nietzsche figured this out in 1885. Jews made their own race a religion in order to survive, probably in the context of the “Sea Peoples” phenomenon, i.e. an Asia Minor and Levant teeming with contending groups. Their allegiance to leftist causes is an extension of this trend — a cascade effect from three or four thousand years ago. Intellectual achievements made in the modern era don’t even matter. As long as there are “Jews”, they will be voting for what’s good for them and bad for us.

* Repubs seem to generally be Jews who are in fields where they are exposed to reality. You are right about their average intelligence, so Jews cluster in jobs like show business, finance, law and advertising where almost everyone they interact with is a smart, well-behaved White and many are Jewish. The talented hundredth of Blacks (really a more accurate fraction than talented tenth. The tenth are not all that talented) are pretty White in behavior. The Jews in those fields therefore never wise up, and enforce left ideological conformity amongst themselves. One Jew I know who went Right is an LA schoolteacher, so virtually all the students are NAMs, and except for the very top ones are a source of teacher despair. The dwindling number of Black kids in LA are not very bright or motivated, and are becoming menacing at increasingly lower grade school levels. The Hispanics are good natured and more willing but not much smarter. They might work hard and seem to get the material, but test them, and the next day almost everything they learned has vanished. The schoolteachers Dad was a jeweler with a carry permit who learned from customer interactions what reality was. He was very successful so unlike most Right Wing Jews he didn’t have to hide his views from his relatives and colleagues. They would shake their heads over how a Jew could say things like that but they didn’t get vociferous about it from fear of losing business or a share of the estate.
