		<description><![CDATA[I wish you had not asked.
It is not called &#039;holocast&#039; in Danish history books; it is known as the great Viking Boat Burning (VBB).
The burning of 6 million viking boats 

http://images.search.yahoo.com/search/images?_adv_prop=image&amp;fr=yfp-t-521-s&amp;va=viking+boat+burning

is a difficult topic, controversial, sensitive, and even dangerous to discuss in some European countries, where the denial of  (VBB) is punishable by prison. 
There are those who claim that (a) the Danes are pyromaniacs and set them ablaze themselves; (b) the number of boats and the hands on deck that perished in the VBB is a lot smaller than 6 million; 
(c) the non-Danes did not intend to set them ablaze, only to make them harbor unworthy.

Several things are certain: 
-- no other boats in the history of seafaring nations were ever burned just for being viking boats
-- the Dane who invented asbestos was also the one who coined the phrase Never again!]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I like you more and more. Don&#039;t rest on your laurels though. That&#039;s not for keeps. I used to like jay too for the same reason: the effortless humor (in his case about 9/11 and the jewish bankers of superior intelligence) until he became boringly repetitive. So ... stay fresh.

The bit about jews and Danes had me in stitches, and that was just reading it. If your oral delivery is even decent I&#039;d expect to gasp for breath hearing it again. I never tire of the &quot;jews are a nation like any other&quot; old joke in all of its permutations. I hope Lasse enjoyed it too, or maybe you should repeat it to him changing &quot;Danes&quot; for &quot;Swedes.&quot;

For a full stand-up act you need to develop it more. Say... have the Danes deriving their national and ethnic identity from their ancient religion, which is history to them. Have them held in slavery in Iceland from which they escape when a Haraldoses get the Runes carved in stone from &quot;G-t&quot; Himself, who tells him the Danes are chosen and gives them direction to the Promised Land. Crossing is tough but Haraldoses motions with a some phallic object and the Faroe Islands stretch to become a bridge. When they get there, they find a land without people for a people without land and proceed to make the frozen, barren land into a spa, upon which some Amaleks start pouring in looking for a handout. Well, you take it from here but make sure they are victims, chased out of their land, and from every country thereafter, and thus known as the Vondering Vikings. Finally in 1948 they return home from all over the world (including Brooklyn) and having no common language, revive Old Celtic.
But they are all secular now, so why not the Jews?
The similarities are striking
Stay fresh and creative; I won&#039;t be here to give you pointers all the time and you don;t want to fizzle out too fast.
The zionists who call you an &#039;antisemite&#039; are by any chance Danish recently returned from Russia to the secular State for Danes  after 2,000 years?]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[&quot;Silly. You have not quite digested yet the idea of the subjectivity of the observer. Perhaps eto is right and you are very young.&quot;

-well knowing that the winner writes the history i was explicitly refering to a hypotetical concept of truth where there are no observers... you quoted it youself -_-
imho eto tends to make weird accusations, but he is not the only one here though.

&quot;Nonsense. The Israeli society cannot become secular. For a society on the territory currently occupied by Israel to be secular Israel mist disappear, so there will be no “israeli society.”&quot;

-well i dont see that connection, lets take denmark, denmark is a secular state, becoming a secular state, for denmark it didnt mean to vanish.

&quot;BTW, there are no secular jews either. No definition of “jew” stands if you remove the religious mythology. There are only secular individuals formerly known as jews.&quot;

-a construction of identity is not exclusively tied to mythological believes, the categorys in wich you are defining collective identitys are flawed.


&quot;Your chosen posting name is ‘obsolete adaption”? What’s that? Obsolete adaptation? I can only think of one offhand: the adaptation to spewing zionist propaganda&quot;

-thank you for pointing that out, it was a hasty typo and stands for &quot;obsolete adaption&quot;
indeed!

but it doesnt mean im a zionist, in fact most zionist of the contemporarily dominant branch would accuse me of antisemitism... thats really funny i think, antisemites call me a zionist and zionists call me antisemite. :D]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[its deeply rooted in human nature to apply differend moral standards to others, depending on wether they are included or excluded in ones own (perceived)group, this  also echos in every ideological or religious believe system. Therefore this trait is not exclusively jewish.

beyond that, you accuse the jewry collectively of tribal chauvinism as if &quot;the jews&quot; would be a homogenous collective. offcourse there have been huge efforts made by israel etc to influence and force jewish/israeli identity but that pretty obvious political and demographical reasons, ironically it is also the reaction to the lack of a collective jewish idenity that you are  slandering.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Any dialog with a zionist has to keep in sights the two-track jewish mentality: the same notion means something else or its antonym depending on whether it relates to jews or to Goyim.

Relativism, like democracy, secularism and multiculturalism is merchandise to be sold only to Goyim. They are tools to atomize the societies in which jews live and turn those societies into a bubbling brew in which only jewish power coagulates. 
They do not apply to Israel, a state jews have confected for themselves as they wish it to be: the opposite of what they preach to Goyim. 
All of these &#039;values&#039; sold on the Goyim&#039;s market under false advertising and in different wrappings is but one and the same article underneath: a compass unfailingly pointing to the interests of jewish power.

Try &#039;relativism&#039; on Israel&#039;s &quot;right to exist,&quot; or the Holocaust narrative. Try secularism on the Khazars&#039; &quot;historical roots&quot; in Palestine.They do not operate there.

Every jewish fable told and retold in the MSM by &#039;secularist,&quot; &#039;relativist&#039; jews has the same underlying moral: jewish entitlement is right, god-given. 
Jews only invented, discovered and produced genius and moral light; everything wrong or questionable they learned from the bad Goyim (19th century colonialism, blah, blah).

Symmetrically, &quot;Love thy neighbor&quot; only applies to Jews.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[since you mentioned Freud, it is interesting to read this account of how the great psycho-analyst made a similar (precociously postmodern) &lt;i&gt;reinterpretation&lt;/i&gt;:

&lt;b&gt;A Talmudic Fascination with Sex&lt;/b&gt;

Perusing the Talmud, one is overwhelmed with the recurrent preoccupation with sex, especially by the most eminent rabbis. Dozens of illustrations could be presented to illustrate the delight of the Pharisees to discuss sex and quibble over its minutest details.

The rabbis endorsing child sex undoubtedly practiced what they preached. Yet to this hour, their words are revered. Simeon ben Yohai is honored by Orthodox Jews as one of the very greatest sages and spiritual lights the world has ever known. A member of the earliest &lt;i&gt;Tannaim&lt;/i&gt; rabbis most influential in creating the Talmud, he carries more authority to observant Jews than Moses.

Today, the Talmud’s outspoken pedophiles and child-rape advocates would doubtlessly spend hard time in prison for child molestation.

The Oedipus complex was the invention of Sigmund Freud! Freud originally discovered, in the treatments partially conducted under hypnosis, that all his patients, both male and female, had been abused children and recounted their histories in the language of symptoms. After reporting his discovery in psychiatric circles, he found himself completely shunned because none of his fellow psychiatrists was prepared to share the findings with him. Freud could not bear the isolation for long. A few months later, in 1897, he described his patients’ reports on sexual abuse as sheer fantasies attributable to their instinctual wishes.

Freud’s father was a paedophile! In a letter to his friend Wilhelm Fliess, Freud wrote:

“&lt;i&gt;Unfortunately, my own father was one of these perverts and is responsible for the hysteria of my brother (all of whose symptoms are identifications) and those of several younger sisters. The frequency of this circumstance often makes me wonder.&lt;/i&gt;”

Fliess’s son, Robert Fliess exposed his own father as being another paedophile, who had sexually abused him when he was a child.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[there is a rather fine cartoon on the internet. depicting an archetypal situation of &lt;i&gt;oppression&lt;/i&gt; - it has four frames. in the first two the dialogue begins as follows:

&lt;i&gt;child&lt;/i&gt; ouch!..&lt;b&gt;you&#039;re standing on my neck!&lt;/b&gt;

&lt;i&gt;adult bully&lt;/i&gt; well that&#039;s &lt;i&gt;one&lt;/i&gt; point of view...one could also say &lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;you&lt;/i&gt; are trying to trip &lt;i&gt;me&lt;/i&gt; with &lt;i&gt;your&lt;/i&gt; neck...&lt;/b&gt;

(see http://blogs.cofc.edu/seamanm-engl299-f11/author/stsacche/)

the young commenter, (comment reproduced below), spectacularly misses the &lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;irony&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt; of the cartoon, which is simply taken as an illustration of a valid postmodernist relativism. i will quote her response in full, because it is perhaps similar to what you are trying to articulate. i disagree with her p.o.v., and see this kind of &#039;postmodernist thought&#039; as simply the result of a successful tactic of &lt;i&gt;cultural degradation&lt;/i&gt; as mentioned in the famous (or infamous) protocols.

A NEW WAVE OF THINKING

 Posted on November 9, 2011 by Stephanie Sacchetta	
1	

In Postmodernism, there is a new possibility of seeing more than black and white. It is a step up from modernism; things are now more subjective rather than objective. It leaves room for artists to construct freely with a new spirit as they seek for more than just black and white and try to find a gray area. As the comic says below, no longer is there one objective reality, rather one can construct their own truth. The self is now seen in a work of art or literature. Chaos is welcomed and anarchy is portrayed. It is mocking with a self awareness. The man in this comic makes clear to this little boy that there is no absolute truth. Just because he is stepping on his neck does not mean that is the only truth that can be found in his action. He says no, you’re trying to trip me with your neck. Nothing is concrete and objective, everything is left up for interpretation and ones own reality. Postmodernism came after the traumatic World War II so this new form of thinking with art, literature, philosophy, etc. can be seen as a world that has experience anarchy and chaos and is displaying it in their new wave of thinking.]]></description>

<p>A NEW WAVE OF THINKING</p>

<p>In Postmodernism, there is a new possibility of seeing more than black and white. It is a step up from modernism; things are now more subjective rather than objective. It leaves room for artists to construct freely with a new spirit as they seek for more than just black and white and try to find a gray area. As the comic says below, no longer is there one objective reality, rather one can construct their own truth. The self is now seen in a work of art or literature. Chaos is welcomed and anarchy is portrayed. It is mocking with a self awareness. The man in this comic makes clear to this little boy that there is no absolute truth. Just because he is stepping on his neck does not mean that is the only truth that can be found in his action. He says no, you’re trying to trip me with your neck. Nothing is concrete and objective, everything is left up for interpretation and ones own reality. Postmodernism came after the traumatic World War II so this new form of thinking with art, literature, philosophy, etc. can be seen as a world that has experience anarchy and chaos and is displaying it in their new wave of thinking.</p>
