The Tape Crusader
I'm actually writing a book on this, but in addition to the reasons listed above, it basically comes down to Ezra Pound. An editor for nobel prize laureates, Hemingway, T.S. Eliot, James Joyce, others.
He was my favorite poet because of his work before 1917, but then after the World Wars he went insane, moved to Italy and started making pro-fascist radio broadcasts, the first Alex Jones if you will, except a million times more literate (a terrifying concept
). All the same tactics he used then are used today by guys like Milo Yiannopoulos. They both claim to base their views on "Facts, historical evidence, and the opinions of experienced men". Yet those experienced men tend to y'know...be white racists.
That's all well and good, but it still doesn't answer why.
The answer is because Ezra Pound (after the war) got put into a mental asylum (fair enough). It was there where he gathered a group of visitors because he was a legendary editor and poet.
One of these followers was a man by the name of Eustace Mullins.
The story goes, one day Pound asked Mullins to pull out a dollar bill, pointed to the "Federal Reserve" and told Mullins to research them.
This led to the first book on the Federal Reserve, "The Secrets of the Federal Reserve" by Eustace Mullins.
Pound himself spent his life weaving American politics with conspiracy theories, specifically anti-semitic global banking conspiracies. He put more work into this than anyone else before him and was the forefather of the modern alt-right because of his melding of American political conspiracy with the Federal Reserve/banking etc. etc.
Which is very unfortunate, because like I said, his Chinese translations pre-1917 are amazing and were the first free verse poems, which set the foundation for modernism. Put me in a sticky situation being a fan of his pre-1917 work, when I realized what those Trump fukks were doing. I also had to laugh when Hamilton came out, because Pound wrote hundreds of pages of dense verse blaming that guy for every single problem in America. If anyone's still reading, Pound also recanted his views to Allen Ginsberg and said his biggest mistake in life was "that suburban anti-semitism."
Allen Ginsberg in his most famous poem Howl wrote about "angel headed hipsters" so I view this as the meeting of the founders of the Alt-Right and modern Left, and the alt-right conceded total defeat and humiliation, which gives us an idea of what might happen in the future.
tl;dr Fascist poet/conspiracy theorist/general insane person Ezra Pound. Existenialism/20th century took the meaning of life away from white people, so they grabbed onto racist institutions to hold onto a sense of meaning.
