I have had academic disagreements with Nathan Cofnas, specifically over the Culture of Critique, expounded by Kevin MacDonald, which argues that Jews are higher in ethnocentrism and, consequently, are significant players in anti-nationalist intellectual movements. I am cautiously receptive to the idea, whereas Cofnas, who is Jewish, thinks that any Jewish over-representation is explained overwhelmingly by Ashkenazi higher intelligence. Even so, I think he is to be applauded for highlighting the mendacious behaviour of Jason Arday and, by extension, forcing the excesses of Woke – its destruction and corruption of formerly serious institutions – into the public consciousness.
