Thomas Sowell said, “In various countries and times, leaders of groups that lagged behind, economically and educationally, have taught their followers to blame all their problems on other people - and to hate those other people.”
Why do people hate the Jews? Because they do well.
You mentioned losing followers concerning this post. If you lose followers for telling the truth, you never needed -- don't want-- those followers. As for me, thanks for telling the truth. The Jews have been the most persecuted people on the face of the earth. (btw, I'm not Jewish but I won't deny history).
And yes, while I want as many subscribers as possible, I think this is a good point upon which to winnow them. I don’t mind people who are critical of Israeli policy, etc., but people who are angry at me over this post—as if I have taken away their favorite toy—yeah, maybe I don’t want to associate with them.
Excellent post Christopher. I could not agree more with your assessment of the situation. It is nigh unto impossible to grasp what occurs even as we speak, much less in the past.
Just subscribed and will not be unsubscribing. 😁
Thank you for your time and efforts Christopher! 🙏
And yeah, the syncs are always worth noting. Max Borders’ post went live on the same day I had begun writing this. Maybe people have had enough of the madness?
The whole interwebs is glitchy for me. I attribute it to the ai as I keep telling it it’s tarded every chance I get. 😁 And I’ve never used it, but I’m convinced it’s been hoovering up every thing from all computers and phones for at least 20 years. Not paranoid, just realistic to my mind. 🤷
And yes, let us hope and pray people have had enough of the madness and awake. 🙏
One could easily argue that Christians are behind a whole lot of bad stuff happening throughout history. And they would be right. Same for Muslims, Hindus and any other religious idealogy that has had a history of violence and oppression (on both the giving and receiving ends). It would also be easy to conclude from that the problem is religion. But the common denominators are greed and lust for power and control of people and resources. In other words, it is a class issue more than some nefarious gene pool or culture.
Initiates of natural law know that at the root cause of humanities suffering is ignorance of objective morality/natural law. A power differential is created by master psychologists who have in depth knowledge of the occult, meaning hidden knowledge of esoteric sciences such as natural law, the dynamics that govern our reality. The masses do not possess this knowledge so the masters are able to manipulate humanity into a state of slavery.
Satanism (dark occultists) operate by inverting morality through selfishism and moral relatavism, influencing a moral decline in the aggregate so that society suffers from negative karmic feed back loops (slavery and suffering).
I use the term Jew hatred because that's what antisemitism was called before a German journalist, Wilhelm Maher sanitized it in the 1870s.
Probably not too many of today's Jew haters know that the slogan they parrot, "I am not anti-Semitic. I'm just anti-Zionist," was coined by the Bolsheviks in 1918.
Today's Jew haters should read libertarian Robert Prechter's work on socionomics (not socioeconomics). Prechter explores how endogenous social mood creates external events. Hatred causes the social mood to wane. Financial collapse, social carnage, and war are the result.
The haters won't escape what they created. And they will blame it on the Jews.
Thank you for the support, Barry. It cushions the blow from the ugly anger that this post has drawn out in some.
I will read your Hume piece.
“Probably not too many of today's Jew haters know that the slogan they parrot, ‘I am not anti-Semitic. I'm just anti-Zionist,’ was coined by the Bolsheviks in 1918.”
—I did not know that either. Thank you!
“ The haters won't escape what they created. And they will blame it on the Jews.”
—And what starts with the Jews rarely ends with the Jews.
I think that it is likely true that there exist certain extremely powerful, clandestine bloodlines within certain Human racial lineages that have been charged with collaborating with those others of homologous bloodlines in other lineages to effectuate the grand conspiracy of global State domination that we see unfolding today. Some members of those bloodlines are Jewish. Some are Chinese. Some are "white." These bloodlines do not define the entire population to which they belong. They are a tiny, tiny minority.
Even then, the issue is not their DNA, or what lineage they were born into. The issue is their ideology. It styles them as "elites" whose social status entitles them to hold great power over others. They are Statists who are utterly obsessed with power.
Blaming "the Jews" is a superficial, first-grade level scapegoat. It wouldn't surprise me if the very bloodlines behind our current totalitarian state of affairs were the ones who originally concocted this ubiquitous conspiracy to draw fire away from the real problem, which is a toxic ideology.
The theory that Jews are behind most of the evil events in the world reminds me of something a friend recently told me. She works as a substitute public school teacher. One day, she found a written series of lesson plans another teacher had left in a classroom. The series blamed capitalism for almost every bad thing you can imagine except bad weather. Oops! I take that back. It also blamed capitalism for climate change.
I was mowing the lawn a few hours ago and a similar thought popped into my head: that today’s left has decided that white people are uniquely culpable for all the sins of the world.
These blanket accusations of identity groups add rather silly.
It's an interesting pattern: Whenever a government or society goes bankrupt, blame it on the relatively successful.
This occurred at the end of the 11th century. Ergo the Crusades and other events including antisemitism.
Until about perhaps 400 years ago, the largest enterprises involved plunder and murder. So, King Philip the Fair of France went after not only Jews but also the Knights Templar. That is where the money is. Hey, today we have the BIS and World Bank to deal with sovereign debt now and governments can go bust anytime they want.
This happened in the USA. Review the story of the Tulsa Race Riots of 1921. The blacks who were attacked were successful and middle class. Same dynamic.
Here is the cure: Learn and understand economics and learn how to trade. Take responsibility for your own deals. It's interesting that there are loads of courses and teachers available to teach martial arts of diverse styles, but in this allegedly capitalistic country, where does one learn how to trade a market or even spot a deal at a grocery store?
You must be one of those "influencers" who received $7,000 from the ADL to write positive posts about Israel.
Just kidding, Chris.
Paul Cudenec calls it the Zio-Imperialist Mafia, but most people just conflate it with Jewish people and/or Israel.
And while I share your outlook, I am at the same time most disturbed about how much influence Israel has in our Government, and how unabashedly it is celebrated in those circles.
It is an affront to everyone who calls themselves American.
There are things to criticize, for sure. Their influence is great indeed, and that causes problems. Unfortunately, it is a slippery slope—far too many cannot keep it compartmentalized to just that one issue, and it slowly morphs into more, and more, until it’s “The Jews.” Not with everyone, but with enough to be concerned.
If we were simply to "End the Fed," that particular problem goes away.
That's what really needs to happen.
There's no fixing this with the "right" politician or voting.
And unfortunately, that "one issue" isn't contained, and it has enveloped our country in myriad ways.
For myself, having something forcibly shoved down my gullet tends to make me completely distrust the shover. If things were self-evident, why the constant need to force the issue re: all things Jewish? There's definitely something fishy about it, or it wouldn't require constant reinforcement.
If one simply replaces Jews or Israel with any other group, the problem with all this is painfully apparent.
All I know is that hatred destroys its own container. So I do my level best not to indulge in it.
Also, every group ever has bad actors that will take advantage of others’ resources for power and prestige. I would bet that the percentages of bad to good are similar across groups. I’m sure exceptions can be found, but I’ll just take care of being the best person I can be and won’t worry about what other people are up to.
I think we must consider coercer vs. persuader to be the top-level human dichotomy. Do you get what you want through force or voluntary exchange? Do you take or make? Extract or trade? Rape or woo? This dichotomy covers all areas of life and transcends all other categories.
There are two important principles here that stand out to me. Number one is that it is never really helpful to fall victim to a blame mentality. Blaming circumstances or individuals puts you at effect. Taking personal responsibility for the things you experience is what works and empowers and takes you out of victimhood. Second, even worse is blaming groups or categories of people. This is collective or group think and is one of the worst aspects of collectivism in general. I've noticed that there are both good and bad people (based on how patient, loving, cooperative, understanding and constructive rather than destructive impulses motivate them) among all groups sects and mentalities that I know about. I think there are sects within many religions and ethnicities who have dangerous or mistaken ideologies that justify violence or dehumanize others, but even in those individuals have distinctive ways of reacting and interpreting the dogmas and mistaken principles involved. Respect, understanding and compassion will be mirrored when that is what people pick up from you and I have seen hostility turn to acceptance or at lest tolerance in many cases which can de-escalate negativity. What people call themselves is just words, what they do and how they relate tell the real character rather than what they identify as. Words can have many meanings especially when it comes to religion.
Thank you Chris for a well balanced and nuanced viewpoint, one which requires and deserves a lot more thought. Notice taken..! Personally, I'm content to wait for the day when 'we shall know as we are known'.
I agree with and accept the contrast between tribes that you draw, and for me it evokes again your stress on 'nuance'. I wonder though if, even accepting that tribes founded on shared love may profoundly differ from those founded on ethnicity, and perhaps also ideology, aren't these tribal forms still comprised of people with principles, though the principles may fundamentally differ?
Hmmm. I am not sure. A large cohort who are solely connected by ethnicity probably don’t have a fixed set of principles in common. The smaller the cohort, and the more idea-based their association be, the more they will hold a set of principles in common. Right?
Ah, I see. But then what if tribe is based on immutable identity? A tribe that is a tribe because of shared love of a common idea is not quite the same thing as a tribe that is a tribe because of, say, ethnicity…
Agreed, 1000%. I think this same concept could pertain to most conspiracies and theories floating around. Whether it's the Jews, the government (take your pick, lol), demons, vaccines, China, the Muslims, the Communists, the list goes on and on and on. Jumping to conclusions that fit your narrative because you "did the research", proves nothing. You. don't. know. Yes, there are bad players in the world. Yes, they do bad things. Sometimes however stuff just happens and it's random and there's no conspiracy behind it and your going down a rabbit hole every. darn. time. is not healthy.
Thomas Sowell said, “In various countries and times, leaders of groups that lagged behind, economically and educationally, have taught their followers to blame all their problems on other people - and to hate those other people.”
Why do people hate the Jews? Because they do well.
Yes, envy is a terrible monster. Thank you, Liz.
It is not because they don't well, it's about how they do it.

History is an important teacher. Unfortunately, many never take the time to learn.

The spread of Jew hatred has been disorienting. Seeing so many people have their minds made mad by the hate they harbor inside should terrify us.
And then, unconscious of their festering hate, they deploy their "superior" powers of reason to explain why they are right. They are ignorant of the fact that David Hume exposed them 300 years ago: https://thedailyeconomy.org/article/david-humes-stark-warning-reason-serves-passion/

Ideology, not identity.
What you actually *do*, not what people say you *are*.

These blanket accusations of identity groups add rather silly.
Not all religions have a diety or dieties. All religions have devils.
…and scapegoats.
I’d suggest that the overlap between devil theories and scapegoat theories is large, approaching unity.
In the wise words of Rodney King, “Why can’t we all get along?”

Recently, I was saying to my wife that I think they should also teach Emily Post in schools. Manners and classy deportment. Why not?

I find it disturbing also but I admit I've mixed feelings regarding such.
