Disagree very much, though I prefer hellenic and bronze age and early medieval history, roman history is still incredibly interesting.
I guess if you understand only roman history and completely leave out its context then I might agree.

If you're coming from it in a hippy or SJW sort of way then yes or it has to do with the indian savages then yes, however there are legitimate gripes with how America runs the world as a global hedgemon, or even having a global hedgemon in the first place, as well as with Jewish influence on it.

>commits to an ideology without understanding its source
I've probably done this when I was younger, but not currently. Not really ideological at the moment, and even if I was I've read most of the manifestos.
>eventually tries to read its source but not critically
Hard to judge, I'd like to think I read them critically.
>will read marx with absolutely no knowledge of economics, evola with no knowledge of philosophy
I was into Hayek as a teen so some knowledge of econ. Read some philosophy before reading Evola as well.
>has just enough knowledge about certain thinkers (hegel, nietzsche, kant, schopenhauer etc) to make themselves look knowledgeable to someone who knows nothing
I mean depends on your criteria.
I've read some of Hegel and Nietzsche but I'd hardly call myself an expert.

Cyberpunk's finished because it has been completely assimilated into mainstream sci-fi. It was a (extremely successful) reaction to the stagnation and cliche ridden 1970s, but now the sci-fi genre is being overrun with new weird and science fantasy crap thanks to hard sci-fi's own exhaustion and influx of women writers. Nevertheless cyberpunk remains very topical.

>pro-american means you have to be american and serve in the military
I think there is a slight misunderstanding of basic terms here. Look at how close the Israeli and American militaries are for examples (some officers in both armies describe the relation as "marital"). Remember nearly everyone in Israel goes through military service. Even if no American Jews were pro-american there would still be a pretty high proportion of pro-americans among Jews.

And there are a lot of pro-american imperialism neocons (not that it is the only form of pro-americanism, but it's one form) among Jews who are not in active duty.

As someone who has frequented a lot of French Jews I also can tell you they have a strong cultural fascination for the US.

So yes, I stand by my statement. I invite you to find a legit poll from 2008, or any year after 2000, that hints at less than 30% of Jews being pro-American, if you can.

Want to feed the general American population into wars for American supremacy which, surprise, is what most "pro-national" people have been doing with their countries for the past 300 years. 'Pro-american' doesn't mean 'keen observer of the real interest of the people'. It just means "supporter of, proud of, wanting it to succeed over others, etc.".


>Already knows that the government stopped collecting such demographics
No, I'm not American so I have no reason to know that. Amusing how you cut the last part of the sentence, could there be there are actual polls from 2001 but you can't be assed to find them because they don't support your conclusions?
But fine, then give me the last comparable poll that was done. As long as it isn't from before 1970 it should be accurate enough.
