I was thinking more of a BAP thing since he's an Israel guy, right? A thing from Nietzsche is his loathing of ressentiment, which includes antisemitism because that's basically trying to find a scapegoat to blame for one's problems and also a way to avoid responsibility for one's freedom. The people who blame the Jews for any particular thing are actually avoiding the need to face up and address not only their own failings but also to deal with whatever the thing is.
Moldbug's schtick meanwhile seems to be -- let me see if I'm getting this right -- and an attempt to wage war on liberal elites in American society. It happens to be that many liberal elites in the U.S. are Jews, but I think that ignores the chasm between them and Israelis. They are like night and day. That's more what I meant by Zionism. Yeah, they have propaganda directed in the English language towards Americans about how antisemites are meanies, but I don't think mean words hurt the average Israeli. That kind of politically correct language and the intersectional pyramid-of-oppression stuff doesn't have purchase there from what I've been able to discern about that society. They're very blunt and aggressive, and have to deal with people who launch more than mean words at them. If you said something antisemitic to them, they'd probably just blow you off because they think you're stupid, or aggressively interrogate you about what you think happens when a suicide bomber blows up a pizza restaurant. This was a popular song there:
