Doug Wilson writes an essay on anti-Semitism. He never gets around to defining the “sin” other than alluding to its source as “envy.”
Wilson also writes: “The best thing we can do for the Jewish people is labor to build a Christian culture that runs the way Eric Liddell ran—under the pleasure of God.”
The problem, as E. Michael Jones has shown great length, is that a rejection of the 2nd person of the trinity is a rejection of Logos. Rejecting Logos leads to perpetual revolution against the social order. In short, it demands opposition to the “Christian culture” (whatever that may mean) that has been central to Christendom.
The charge of “anti-Semitism” has been a bludgeon and a weapon used against great men like Pat Buchanan and Joe Sobran, who unlike Wilson provided a functional definition for the slander:
“An anti-Semite used to mean a man who hated Jews. Now it means a man who is hated by Jews.”

Of course, Wilson will dodge here by claiming that it is the case that all unbelief is a rejection of the Logos and so Jews shouldn’t take it on the chin any more than unbelieving goyim. The problem here is that, as Wilson himself notes in his article, the Jew’s rejection of Logos is cultural and has been refined by their superior intelligence over a millennium. Jews are too unbelieving goyim in terms of rejecting logos what a trans-generational cat burglar family is to the first-time bumbling burglar who is going after his first convenience store.
Elsewhere in that same article the doyenne of Moscow writes,
“It has to be acknowledged that a lot of people on the right appear to like hating.”
And yet how do we square that with Burke’s observation;
“They never will love what they ought to love who do not hate what they ought to hate.”
Edmund Burke
Contra Doug, I am glad to admit that I like hating those things that are contrary to those things I like loving. I think Wilson misses the boat here… and the dock … and the seashore. In brief, I think it is unchristian to not like hating what one hates. I like hating the Devil. He’s supposed to be hated. One should find it estimable to like hating that which is hateworthy.
