Tucker Presents: A World Without the Jews

A world without the Jewish experience is a closed world, a system devoid of abstraction and faith. On the other hand, it is a world that offers many the longed-for certainty, achieved only after the elimination of the ultimate representation of God's original laws in the world.

In many ways, this is an anti-American world. The American world is founded on the idea of covenant, or in the words of John Locke, the idea of the social contract, entered by human beings, the voters, facing their creator, called to choose good over evil.

Good and evil here, of course, are functions of the Ten Commandments, and especially of the Torah of Moses. The transcendental foundation and legal framework of the social contract is the story of the Children of Israel.

The problem arises when some among the Children of Israel do not live according to the spirit of God. What than? One cannot hate the Jews yet embrace their laws. Here lies the internal contradiction: will people prefer to criticize the representation of the modern Jew, or to hold the Jews responsible for other past 'vices', to the point of transgressing the prohibitions set by the very founder of civilization (since it stems from the Jew)?

Or will they criticize the Jew, while humbly acknowledging the need to recognize that the Jew heralded so much to the world?

One way out of this dilemma is a critical theory from the right.

This right-wing critical theory sets aside the caricature of the Jew and asks about the nature of the transcendental moment as shaped by its main interpreters, above all, the Protestants.

It is, in fact, a continuation of the Counter-Reformation: just as socialism arose in response to capitalism, so too the Catholic Counter-Reformation arose in response to the second wave of the Protestant Reformation.

But the problem is, this reactionary moment is not here to bring us closer to God, but only to deconstruct what is seen as the poor historical outcomes of a certain interpretation of good and wrong, that is manipulated by pharisees.

Tucker Carlson is the one that enables this alternative line of thought in America. He makes possible a cultural and historical destabilization that comes not only through criticism of the Jews, but through using the Jews as a vehicle for criticizing the humanist-transcendental moment they themselves announced, by demonstrating that the heralds themselves were often deeply problematic.

In truth, Carlson’s aim is not the Jews, but the monotheistic cultural order itself. Criticism of Jews is simply how to uproot it entirely. This is a form of theological post-colonialism: an attempt to dismantle the Jewish-Protestant heritage in the name of another theological narrative, one that was recast as secular Catholicism in the form of fascism or socialism and ultimately proved unfit for reality.

The problem is that this is not new merchandise. Europe has already produced it, and we all know where it led. The pressing question is whether in America it will lead to the same places. It is an unsettling question. And another: if vengeance and hatred of Jews are so dominant, what becomes possible in their absence? In a world without Jews, there is no one left to blame. A new game of power begins in which anyone can become the “new Jew”, without the transcendental-universal anchor of Moses’ revelation to define good and evil outside the structures of church or state.

This is a process of emptying transcendence itself, in which the Jews are only the convenient tool for the trap of deep heresy against the image of humanity. Against this, we are compelled to say: we stand with the “left”.

The temptation to shake and break the moral image which the jews gave the world was manifested in Adolf Hitler more than all, when he identified the “Jewish invention” of “moral conscience” as the greatest evil ever manifested. That dangerous pull into this form of dark enlightenment should at least be spoken to be what it really is. A world where God is confined to be non-Abrahamic, where there is no room for mistakes, where some may never be forgiven, where love is conditional.

For this, the right-wing critique seeks an external substitute ideal. Seeking to return to the pure world prior to material or spiritual Jew dominance.

There may be many excuses to escape the “liberal matrix”, but truth be told, at least a matrix gives an illusion of freedom, which is preferable to complete enslavement.
