   “Remember his pessimism is very positive for us.”

   It was probably a Jewish troll or something of the sort trying to convince you that “pessimism is positive.” A ridiculous lie.

   Cioran obviously lost his early idealism/optimism (and antisemitism) sometime along the way and became a lackey of the Jewish worldview (plus their silver and gold) when he adopted their destructive and alien ideas of pessimism, cynicism, and materialism.

   Anti-Semitism is indeed a form of idealism.

   Though it was obviously penned by a politically correct writer who pandered to academia’s Jews, the following book is of some use if you’d like more info on antisemitism as a form of idealism in European (especially German) philosophy:

   + GERMAN IDEALISM AND THE JEW: THE INNER ANTI-SEMITISM OF PHILOSOPHY AND GERMAN JEWISH RESPONSES by Michael Mack: University Of Chicago Press, 2003. ISBN 0226500942. [http://www.press.uchicago.edu/cgi-bin/hfs.cgi/00/15610.ctl]

   From that page, the book’s description says: “While many have read German anti-Semitism as a reaction against Enlightenment philosophy, Mack instead contends that the redefinition of the Jews as irrational, oriental Others forms the very cornerstone of German idealism, including Kant’s conception of universal reason.”

   The quote “…the redefinition of the Jews as irrational, oriental Others forms the very cornerstone of German idealism…” perfectly explains why so many of Germany’s most eminent philosophers were idealistic antisemites and how we Westerners/Europeans MUST recapture this idealistic spirit first and foremost in order to be able to begin to fight back against the culture-destroying effects of international Jewry.

   “ ‘While many have read German anti-Semitism as a reaction against Enlightenment philosophy [...]‘ “

   “perfectly explains why so many of Germany’s most eminent philosophers were idealistic antisemites [...]“

   The anti-Semite label which, like it or not, implies condemnation of the Jews no matter what they do, not giving them a chance so to speak, not evaluating them fairly “on the merits” but condemning them because “they’re Jews,” is one I reject for myself, for Adolph Hitler, for the German philosophers referred to above, or generally for fair-minded persons capable of abstract reflection who’ve arrived at principled, legitimate objections to significant portions of Jewish group behavior. I’m “anti” nobody, no group. I’m anti-wrongness, that’s all, and pro-rightness. To the extent Jews as a group engage in wrongness, I condemn them; the extent they engage in rightness I don’t; and I reject labeling that “anti-Semitism.”

   The “anti-Semitism” accusation is a tool used by Jews to wiggle out of having to face the bad they do: “Oh, it’s just anti-Semitism, pay no attention to it.”
