Gentile
Adorno on Hollywood
The word Gentile has several meanings. In the most common modern use it refers to a non-Jew. The word is derived from the Latin term gens (meaning "clan" or a "group of families") and it is often employed in the plural. In late Latin gentilis meant "pagan", and the term gentile has sometimes been used in the past as a synonym for "heathen" or "pagan"; this usage is archaic. --http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gentile [Sept 2005]Adorno on Hollywood
As much as the culture industry in New York, Hollywood, and Las Vegas was a creation of Jews, Adorno obviously felt they lacked the proper "manners" of the Old World and was shocked at their violence, lack of religious devotion, and the amazing quickness with which successful Jewish businessmen married attractive Goy women. Again, I can merely speculate that Theodor Adorno may be one of the founding fathers of "neo-conservatism"–the ideology of the passive (and loyal) opposition; ardent supporters of capitalism when their interests dictated that support, but fierce tribalists on issues concerning Israel and "minority rights". -- (Siegfried, 1998) http://home.ddc.net/ygg/etext/adorno.htm
