From Sci-Fi to Alt-Right: Extremists and Conspiracy Theorists Using Lovecraft to Attack Feminism and L. Ron Hubbard to Take on International Bankers

3/2/2017

25 Comments

 
​A controversy arose this past week when anthropologists discovered that white supremacists had manipulated Google’s page ranking algorithm to make a racist and anti-Semitic hate site the snippet chosen for Google’s instant answer to queries about the definition of Boasian anthropology. “Boasian Anthropology is a pseudo-scientific Jewish assault on White European racial consciousness and identity,” the Google info-box informed its readers, taking the text from a white nationalist blog. Google expressed regret over the situation but said that the company had no responsibility to evaluate the content they excerpt: “The feature is an automatic and algorithmic match to the search query,” a Google spokesperson told The Verge. This is disingenuous, of course, since Google knows full well that many users cannot distinguish between a third-party snippet and an “official” Google-endorsed definition, particularly since Google offers similar-looking info-boxes for dictionary definitions, mathematical calculations, and other facts it presents as its own. Within hours of the controversy erupting, however, the anti-Semitic result disappeared from the Google top results.
​This is not, however, the only place where white supremacists, nationalists, and separatists have been on the march. As I noted recently, white nationalists and the so-called alt-right have developed an interest in H. P. Lovecraft because of Lovecraft’s mainstream popularity as a horror author and his white supremacist and anti-immigrant racist views. Just as a generation ago the New Age saw weird fiction as a way to open readers to a range of alternative lifestyles and beliefs, so too does the so-called alt-right now want to use horror fiction as a metaphorical opening to racism.
 
On the Age of Shitlords website, there was a noxious article from an unnamed “guest writer” who offered a half-developed argument that Lovecraftian horror can be used to help young men understand why feminism is attempting to destroy men. Specifically, the writer suggests that the Lovecraftian process of discovering the ancient horror beneath the façade of the modern world—which he likens to taking the “red pill” in the Matrix movies—is an analog to how women come to see the entire world as evil through the corrupt and secret knowledge of feminism. The argument is doubly dark because it also suggests that education and knowledge are harmful to women.
 
Citing the experience of Anita Sarkeesian, a feminist blogger, the writer offers this: “What she is essentially saying, is in the context of her becoming a women’s studies major (the unlocking of the knowledge, or ‘red pilling’), she was able to see the horrors in the world for what they truly were.” He compares this to “The Call of Cthulhu,” where the process of putting facts together unleashes the horror of knowledge. This is, for the author, not a good thing but rather a false consciousness. 
The problem here lies, that for most people the forbidden knowledge that either provides, even when backed up with suitable evidence will be outright rejected as if it were mere lunacy. This applies to both the feminists, as well as us. Because to many people the assertion that there is a patriarchy, is just as ludicrous sounding as saying there is a feminist agenda to emasculate the western world.
​It shouldn’t surprise us that angry young men would latch on to both Lovecraft and anti-feminist alt-right rhetoric, but it should disturb us nonetheless.
 
But this kind of march to the abyss has been going on for some time. Years ago we saw how conspiracy theorists organized a campaign to align claims of giants and aliens with shocking Anti-Semitism. I’ve frequently mentioned that conspiracy theorist Jim Marrs rides right up to the line of anti-Semitism in condemning international bankers as agents of evil, recycling conspiracies originally created to demonize Jews. In a new interview with Skeptico, Marrs continued his dance with extremism in an interview in which he first praised Donald Trump for taking America back to the “self-confident and productive” society of the 1950s and then explained his newfound appreciation for the cosmic truths of Scientology founder L. Ron Hubbard’s novel Battlefield Earth. And of course he liked it because he saw it as a reflection of these same anti-banking conspiracies that he has previously linked to Jewish bankers.
 
Specifically, Marrs delivered a shameless and frankly bizarre advertisement for Battlefield Earth in which he praised the novel for exposing the workings of “intergalactic bankers,” which, yes, are actually part of the novel, but seem to have drawn Marrs’s interest due to his special obsession with international banking conspiracies:
But you can actually learn a lot from reading Hubbard’s work. Battlefield Earth, they’ve just issued a new edition, last year, and you can get really good deals on that in Amazon, and you can go to their website, battlefieldearth.com. But what’s cool is, here’s a story of an alien invasion, but yet it’s not like what we see today, like in Independence Day, where the aliens just come and want to blow up everything; these are the intergalactic bankers who have loaned money to the intergalactic mining corporation, giving them a contract to loot the mineral resources of the Earth. But they have a timetable, they’re supposed to complete it in such a such of time, and they’re beginning to push on this timetable and they’re getting worried because these pesky humans are causing problems, so they’ve got to go to the planet Psychlo and get these tall, hairy aliens to come and try to subdue the pesky humans on the earth.
 
Anyway, it’s all a big business deal, just a deal, you know, which is really interesting because, when you look at the United States today and what we’re doing in other countries, trying to get their mineral resources and claiming we’re bringing them democracies, and we bomb the hell out of them, it kind of runs parallel there; it’s kind of like, I think he had a vision of how things were going. 
​This is what TV Tropes calls the “Space Jew” trope, in which stereotypes about Jews are projected onto evil space aliens. Marrs neglects to note that there is also a holocaust of an intellectual alien race in the novel, which also has echoes of Jewish stereotypes, and the humans of the novel’s era (3000 CE) are Neo-Nazis who worship Hitler as a genius and essentially a Messiah. No wonder Marrs loves the book!
 
Marrs also believes that Scientology’s critics are wrong about the organization because when he visited Scientology, they showed him a good time, like the Potemkin villages that showed Catherine the Great how wonderful the life of serfs was in Russia. He said that “based on my experience, everybody I’ve ever met, that’s had anything to do with Scientology are just really kind of nice, good people.” And as we know from years of experience with fringe writers and conspiracy theorists, personal feelings count more than evidence, and the truth of claims is based on personality rather than facts.

What I find bizarre about using Lovecraft as a gateway to anti-feminism is that Lovecraft's fiction has few female characters and no sexism that is not tied-up with racism.

Were these white supremacists more widely familiar with the so-called Lovecraft circle, they would be more likely to recommend Lovecraft's friend Robert E. Howard, whose fiction has racism and sexism in equal measure, separately and combined.

I remember reading a pair of Howard novellas and complaining that one was racist, and the other one sexist.

And much could be done by white supremacists with Robert E. Howard's A Witch Shall Be Born, because of its themes that so resonate with white supremacist tropes.

That story features a white ruler of a city who is overthrown by another white person who has been corrupted by Chinese and Jewish advisors and uses Chinese and Jewish mercenaries to enforce her rule. But Conan the Cimmerian and his fellow white soldiers within the city's army engage in a counter-coup and slaughter all Jews and Chinese people within the city. And there is much within the story suggesting that women are useless unless guided by men.

Compared to that human-centred tale of sexism, racism, and revolution, the search for Cthulhu, whose existence reveals that many tropes about the human condition are false, does not cut it as a white supremacist story, despite its racism.

But then again, Robert E. Howard has less literary respectability than H. P. Lovecraft, and with good reason.

I think you're making a mistake when you filter a Conan story through your modern sensibilities.

Conan is a *barbarian* who disdains civilization, perceived weakness and magic. He has never been, and never will be, politically correct.

As for Howard himself, he had feminist views, became less racist with age (though he was never on the same level as Lovecraft) and most of his writing is more about clashes between cultures than races.

I don't think Howard would come highly recommended by white supremacists, but nothing about their mindset makes much sense to me.

I really enjoyed the following essay about the link between Conan the Cimmerian and racism:

Besides, often people conflate culture and race, or use allegations that they oppose a culture to avoid being accused of racism. Race and culture are both human constructs, but they are different human constructs.

As for the idea that Robert E. Howard is not admired by white supremacists, this is as false as my believing in Isvara, souls, or the truth of the Vedas! Robert E. Howard has quite a following among white supremacists; see, for example, the following Stormfront discussion: https://www.stormfront.org/forum/t700549/

Like I said, nothing about white supremacist thinking makes sense to me. These are the same groups that support Scott Wolter's theories and the Solutrean Hypothesis.

Here's another look at Conan and racism:

http://www.escapistmagazine.com/articles/view/video-games/columns/garwulfs-corner/14792-Robert-E-Howard-Racism-and-Racist-Conan-the-Barbarian

I'm not trying to convince you or anyone else that Howard wasn't a racist. He was. What I'm saying is, if you want to make the argument Howard is a better choice for white supremacists than Lovecraft, based on their stories alone, I don't agree.

I'm afraid Howard and Lovecraft are both strongly admired by white supremacists.

Though in Howard's defence, although he held racist views, he was also opposed to fascism. The book "J.R.R. Tolkien, Robert E. Howard and the Birth of Modern Fantasy" by Deke Parsons quotes Howard as calling Mussolini's invasion of Abyssinia "sickening and nauseating outspewing of blustering hypocrisy ... though I found equally revolting the brainless cheers of the thousands of poor idiots he is leading to the shambles."

What is so strange about a white supremacist supporting the Solutrean Hypothesis? The Solutrean Hypothesis is all about how the first humans in the Americas were white people.

Similarly, Wolter's theories are very often about the inability of non-white people to invent or create architectural forms, such as cliff-dwellings. Rather, according to Wolter, white genius was needed to spread such ideas.

Buddhist, I didn't say there was anything strange about their acceptance of such pseudoscience; I said it doesn't make sense.

Pseudoscience is pseudoscience, racism is racism and adding the two together does not make either better.

Shane Sullivan

Actually, Buddhist, the Solutrean hypothesis is about how the first (or at least some early) people in the Americas were European, not that they were white. In fact, we have every reason to believe that what we now call "white people" didn't exist in Europe or anywhere else at that time.

That Google thing isn't too surprising. Thanks to the recent fallout surrounding PewDiePie, white nationalists are taking advantage of the attention.

I am beginning to get the impression that every single fringe writer is an active agent/propagandist, or at least an unwitting dupe, for the ultra-right-wing. I read a lot of fringe stuff in my younger days, read New Age stuff, and I always had the feeling they were rather anti-authoritarian, were challenging "the system." I see now that what those folks were doing was undermining belief in facts and any sort of fact-based reality, and undermining the very notion of trustworthy authority. And along with losing the ability to see reality, we got the adolescent thrill of bucking the oppressive system.

Also, according to the quotes you give, one loses the ability to write a grammatical sentence or use punctuation properly.

It is exactly that way, postmodernism, which started out as literary criticism was subsumed into the New Age movement and become a corrosive ideology that has been embraced by both the Left and the Right.

I was more interested in the comment about Anita Sarkeesian from the writer of the 'Age of Shitlords' (That is something else I've noticed, the increasing level of immaturity in statements made by both Left and Right wing activists.), is this notion that you need to be 'taught' to see the 'Truth' about the world. It reminds me of Stephen Greer, a UFO proponent who charges large sums of money to teach people to see UFOs.

I'll bet Google queries for "Bosnian anthropology," "anthropology of boa constrictors," and "where can an anthropologist buy a good inexpensive boa?" are at least a bizillion times more frequent than "Boasian anthropology."

Anti-Semitic stereotypes have never been specific to Anti-Semiticism. Blood libel goes back to Roman times and was used by heretic hunters in the middle ages.

"Ugly, greedy and conspiring against us" is basically the most generic scape goat you can get, its just that Anti-Semitism has been historically common enough that every negative trait has been part of its stereotypes.

I think its a lot more likely that dwarves in Germanic folklore influenced stereotypes of Jews than every writer who draws on folklore is hiding anti-Semitism in dwarves.

Anxiety about bankers isn't necessarily hidden anxiety about Jews. The Jewish banker stereotype is powerful because it draws upon at least three sources of anxiety (financial, religious, ethnic).

When someone recycles the PotEoZ into claims about lizard people he's drawing on anti-Semiticism. When someone critics American Imperialism he isn't necessarily. When someone thinks it takes a prophetic vision to see imperialism working as usual then he's exhibiting a deeply bizarre naivety.

If this were the only thing Marrs had said on the issue, I'd agree, but in his past statements he has been much closer in terms of using elements of the Protocols and Icke's Lizard People. He also has a tendency to identify specific Jewish bankers, such as the Rothschilds. Whether he is doing it on purpose or just doesn't realize where his claims originate, I couldn't say.

Not meaning to tick anyone off, but there was a time when Christians were forbidden to engage in or were restricted in, lending money. Who you gonna call? And the Rothschilds do control a buttload of money and banking.

Historically Hollywood was largely controlled by Jews. Look it up.

For a while we even had Jewish organized crime in the U.S. And of course today's Russian mafia; if you think _________ I've got a bridge to sell you. I'll leave it to the interested reader to research those topics in mainstream sources.

Of course a few centuries from now we'll have the Ferengi.

That's actually somewhat untrue. Christians were never forbidden to lend money. What they were forbidden to do was CHARGE INTEREST. So most people DIDN'T lend money on any kind of scale, because it was just a bad deal. You had no leverage to be sure you were paid back, and especially not to be paid back in a timely fashion.

At least not until the Templars came along and invented banking fees. The one area where we actually CAN point and say "The Knights Templar did it!"

The Rothschilds are hardly the ONLY big name in banking, though, and the question you always have to ask before diving into anti-Semitism is, "Are they actually doing anything that other banking families that are not Jewish are doing?" And other than religious observances, the answer is "no." Plus, please remember that the restrictions against charging interest had been relaxed WELL before the Rothschild family got started--in fact, those restrictions started being relaxed for the MEDICI family in the 12th century. You know, the very corrupt family that produced three POPES.

As for Hollywood being largely "controlled by Jews," this is not wrong, but it's not that simplistic, either. It's more that the film industry is one that a lot of Jews went into early, in part because it was portable and in part because it was far away from the East Coast. And the early history of Hollywood was anything but monolithic; each studio essentially waged polite urban warfare on the other studios. The hardship in breaking into Hollywood wasn't because they were Jewish, it was because they were JEALOUS. (Plus, even today, film-making is a high-risk investment. That's why you see so many remakes of old stuff: it went over well before, it should go over well again! ...and then it bombs, terribly.)

As for organized crime, we also had Christian organized crime. So what? It's got NOTHING TO DO with religion, given that the religions themselves actively forbid these things, and everything to do with people who are greedy, selfish, self-centered, and, you know, CRIMINAL.

I wouldn't know anything about the Russian mafia, really, but again--the fact that they're criminals and Russian are more important than the fact that they're Jewish...if they're Jewish. What's next, going to say Japan's yakuza are Jewish? (Hint: they're generally either Buddhist, Shinto, or some mix of the two, if they're religious at all.)

Every time people bring up stuff like that it makes me want to smack them, sir, for the sheer IRRELEVANCY.

Yes, I shorthanded the usury bit. Not only did you have no leverage, you had no motivation to lend. That's essentially a prohibition on lending. Islamic banking gets around it (shiftily in my view) with the mudarraba, essentially a joint venture that's really the same as a loan. So your first point has been addressed.

"At least not until the Templars came along and invented banking fees. The one area where we actually CAN point and say "The Knights Templar did it!"

The Rothschilds are hardly the ONLY big name in banking, though"

Sorry, I missed the part where I said they were. From the ever popular Wikipedia: 'During the 19th century, the Rothschild family possessed the largest private fortune in the world, as well as the largest private fortune in modern world history.[4][5][6] '

" and the question you always have to ask before diving into anti-Semitism is, "Are they actually doing anything that other banking families that are not Jewish are doing?" And other than religious observances, the answer is "no." "

You are correct, and since I'm not an antisemite, I say "so what?"

" Plus, please remember that the restrictions against charging interest had been relaxed WELL before the Rothschild family got started--in fact, those restrictions started being relaxed for the MEDICI family in the 12th century. You know, the very corrupt family that produced three POPES."

Again, "So what?" Germany killed no Jews in the 1960s so the Holocaust didn't happen? Context, context, context.

"As for Hollywood being largely "controlled by Jews," this is not wrong"

In my book, not wrong means right.

" but it's not that simplistic, either. It's more that the film industry is one that a lot of Jews went into early, in part because it was portable and in part because it was far away from the East Coast. And the early history of Hollywood was anything but monolithic; each studio essentially waged polite urban warfare on the other studios.

And your point is?

"As for organized crime, we also had Christian organized crime. So what? It's got NOTHING TO DO with religion, given that the religions themselves actively forbid these things, and everything to do with people who are greedy, selfish, self-centered, and, you know, CRIMINAL."

Antisemitism is not primarily a religious matter.

"I wouldn't know anything about the Russian mafia, really, but again--the fact that they're criminals and Russian are more important than the fact that they're Jewish...if they're Jewish."

So you didn't research it. I find that fascinating. Guess you'll just have to take my word.

"What's next, going to say Japan's yakuza are Jewish? (Hint: they're generally either Buddhist, Shinto, or some mix of the two, if they're religious at all.)

Every time people bring up stuff like that it makes me want to smack them, sir, for the sheer IRRELEVANCY."

Like bringing the Yakuza into a discussion of antisemitism? That kind of irrelevancy? But thanks for the straw man argument.

Great book. Lousy movie. They left out so much it didn't make any sense. With the amount of material to cover the movie should have been a trilogy, at least. It would have been much better than Star Wars but it was not for kiddies so wouldn't have grossed as much.
