Lmfao

Dahl told a journalist from the New Statesman in August 1983: "There's a trait in the Jewish character that does provoke animosity, maybe it's a kind of lack of generosity towards non-Jews. I mean there is always a reason why anti-anything crops up anywhere; even a stinker like Hitler didn't just pick on them for no reason."[166][167] In 1990, during an interview with The Independent, Dahl explained that his issue with Israel began when they invaded Lebanon in 1982: "they killed 22,000 civilians when they bombed Beirut. It was very much hushed up in the newspapers because they are primarily Jewish-owned. I'm certainly anti-Israeli and I've become antisemitic in as much as that you get a Jewish person in another country like England strongly supporting Zionism. I think they should see both sides. It's the same old thing: we all know about Jews and the rest of it. There aren't any non-Jewish publishers anywhere, they control the media—jolly clever thing to do—that's why the president of the United States has to sell all this stuff to Israel."[167][168] Responding in 1990 to a journalist from The Jewish Chronicle, whom he considered rude, he said: "I am an old hand at dealing with you buggers."[169]

LJL. Truly hilarious what a straight shooter Dahl was, never condescending to his audience, which is why he was so beloved by so many people of all ages (and is now in the process of being memory holed for "racism" and "anti-Semitism" as you might imagine).

Talmudic Judaism is not a religion. It's a tribe with self-serving rules to organize and reign over others through stealth.

The fall of Jews into complete insanity is a MAJOR cautionary tale about what happens when we turn our back on God.

As C.S. Lewis said, Jews played an essential role in recording and preserving God's self-revelation to man in the time before the Incarnation;

and then they threw it all away, exemplified by Jesus cursing the fruitless fig tree of Israel circa AD 33: and they have been terrorizing humanity ever since, the unrepentant Synagogue of Satan, crying out in pain as they strike the rest of us - kicked out of 109 nations and counting!

Lmao, tyft.

As it turns out, Dahl was not a big fan of Germans either (nor were many of his conservahero Christian countrymen like Chesterton and C.S. Lewis).

I remember him talking in the adulthood-half of his autobiography (Going Solo after Boy) about the arrogance of Germans during the lead up to WWII;

And both Chesterton and Lewis were highly critical of the fanatical German obsession with eugenics beginning at the turn of the 20th century, including the largely German aggression of WWI (not the healthy social incentive kind of eugenics which all functional civilizations have had - rather, the centralized aggressive State meddling kind).

Also, the sad thing about Germany and Germans as far as I can tell, is that (like Anglos) their brains were largely broken by the Protestant Reformation and its consequences, and it's been and will continue to be a long road back to sanity, to paraphrase Chesterton.

I agree to an extent (I think you're referring to the European Belle Epoque, maybe? What an amazing time to be alive).

But I think the main takeaway here is that - as guys like Chesterton, C.S. Lewis, Tolkien, Jean Raspail, Malcolm Muggeridge, and all the rest said - Europe and European people have been on the decline since the Reformation and the "Enlightenment" (which ushered in the "blank slate" mentality aka playing God, along with "noble savage" worship which persists to this day eg Black Lives Matter).

There have been plenty of opportunities to turn things around (like the aforementioned Belle Epoque; the 1800s Medieval Gothic revival in art and architecture; Disneyland's love letter to White Christian civilization, of course).

And there still are plenty of wholesome opportunities, thank goodness! As I said in one of my earlier threads about "John Denver and Doris Day Nationalism":

"Brother, the issue is not non-white people, many of whom are capable of assimilating into White Christian civilization, and indeed contributing great things, as many have.

The issue is being (((brainwashed))) into thinking that White Christian civilization is bad, when in fact it's quite the opposite: it should be promoted as a great example, as it used to be in the days of Walt Disney, Denver, Doris Day, et al."

Misogyny

Dirda's article discussed many of the other criticisms of Dahl's writing as well, including his alleged misogyny. He wrote "The Witches verges on a general misogyny"[178] and Michele Landsberg's 1998 article analyzing the alleged issues in Dahl's work also stated: "Throughout his work, evil, domineering, smelly, fat, ugly women are his favorite villains."[179] Una Malley's 2008 article mentioned Dahl's short story collection Switch Bitch, calling it "a collection better forgotten, laden with crude and often disturbing sexual fantasy writing". However, Malley argued that there are feminist messages in Dahl's work, even if they may be obscured: "The Witches offers up plenty of feminist complexities. The witches themselves are terrifying and vile things, and always women... The book is often viewed as sexist, but that assessment ignores one of the heroines of the story, the child narrator’s grandmother."[180]

Oh what a misogynist!

So a big part of the problem is that boomers didn't know how to deal with this shit and just folded? Makes a lot of sense!
