Just what we need - a Judeo-Christian holy war to smash those who don't bow at the altar of technology.
Julius Evola hints at the idea that both Judaism and Christianity were produced by commerce. Well, I have nothing bad to say about that idea. It seems at least historically accurate, and separate from the raving hatred I always recognized as "anti-Semitism" or "intolerance."
